JEFF HEEDS ADVICE
TO LAY OFF A BIT
At Corbett's Suggestion, the Champion
• Merely Takes Run on Road
WILLIAM J. SLATTERY
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
JEFFRIES' TRAINING CAMP, ROWARDENNAN, June 3.— Jeffries
is a,cting under Jim Corbett's instructions now, so today was another Roman
holiday at the Rowardennan camp. The big fellow just ran a' bit on the
road and fished and fished to his heart's content in the afternoon and. far
into the evening. He was perfectly contented to lose everybody else and
stroll upstream all by himself.
He met with good success with rod and reel. So he was approachable
when he returned.
It looks as though Corbett's advice and instructions will go a long way
with the big fellow. The man who used to wear the pompadour can tell
Jeffries more stuff and give him more advice and get away with it than any
of the others. Right now his advice to Jeff is to lay off a bit with everything,
especially the rough and ready boxing.
It is Corbett's belief that Jeff is strong enough and that he will be far
better off \\ ith the light, scientific air than with the slam bang sort of going
which he has been used to lately. .Corbett can not see where Jeff can improve
his strength or his endurance, but he can see where the big fellow can learn
new tricks.
CORBETT A MARATHON RACE
"There is no question but Johnson is going to make a careful fight of
it," says Corbett. "Jeff knows this and 50 does everybody else, with any
knowledge of the game. Now it is up to this big fellow to prepare himself
for a sort of Marathon race. It is too bad that he can't get Johnny Hayes
or Dorando or St. Yves on the road. They would help him a lot over the
long route. He must learn how to depend on going until he catches so'rae
.thing, for it is going to be a long chase after. Johnson on the fourth of July,
unless Jim lands one of his bread winners in the early rounds.
"Jeff can get plenty of good practice in chasing Bob Armstrong and
myself all over the ring. This is just the sort of stuff which he needs.
Nobody can tell him anything about slugging or making. a rough house. He
learned that sort of thing when he was a kid. What a chance Johnson
would have if he stood up and tried to mix with this big fellow. Why, the
fight would not last a round. Jeff knows how Johnson will tight him, so he
:irsust prepare himself accordingly. fc
:• "I have told everybody so often that I believe that Jeff is in grand con
tiition that I suppose they believe I am making a sort of foolish play. But
-'it all goes for them, nevertheless.
"No matter what opinions are, I always maintained and always will main
tain that Jeff is in superb condition and will beat Johnson unless the black
man is better than Jeff was six years ago. This is the story in a nutshell.
All that can stop him is an accident."
BIG FELLOW MAY DON THE GLOVES TODAY
Jeff probably will box tomorrow and Sunday for the benefit of the visitors
who arc expected at the camp. Corbett is not over anxious that his charge
should don the mitts even then, but he does not want Jeff to disappoint a lot
of people who will come hundreds of miles for the purpose of seeing him
go through his paces. This boxing will be of the scientific order, the very
kind which Corbett knows and likes so well and the kind which Johnson is
used to. ' \u25a0^\u25a0;i^'/- '& r ?i*\
Corbett himself is not ready to do any of the glove work. He freely
admits that he is not in condition and does not care about taking a chance
iv ith the big fellow till he knows that he is thoroughly right.
Jeff admits that he will be able to do himself more good by going a few
rounds with Corbett than he will with any of the others. When he goes
sgainst Corbett he will work under instructions to keep tearing right after
Gentleman Jim all the time.
JEFF'S ROAD WORK IS REMARKABLE
Jeff always was a wonder on the road, but at the. present time his work
is more remarkable than ever. He can sprint the last" 100 yards so fast that
none of the men at the camp can keep the pace. He finished his 12 mile run
in front of the hotel this morning to the amazement of a big crowd which
had congregated. The big fellow looked more like a foot racer than a
fighter.
Jeff expects to go to Monterey Monday for a fishing trip on
the ocean. He has played all the mountain streams so that the trout all
seek bedrock when they hear him approach. It seems as though they know
his very footsteps.
If the present plans of Corbett are kept up Jeff will probably continue to
do his light boxing up to within a couple of days of the fight.
WAYMAN FIGURES
IN A PRELIMINARY
Stanford Boy Wins One Heat in
Quarter Mile at Western
Conference Meet
URBAXA. II!.. June 3. —^The tenth an
nual track anil field meet of the west*
crn Intercollegiate conference athletic
association will be held on 'the new
Illinois field tomorrow.
Among: th« teams expected to be
•'fetrony contenders for the champion
"s!ilp are Chicago, Wisconsin, Illinois,
. Leiand Stanford an^ Notre Dame. Be
' c"ause of the apparent equality of many
of the teams entered it is expected that
£3 points will be enough to win.
. ' Only" a few events are conceded to
a*ny particular athlete. It is expected
.that Davenport, of Chicago will be the
winner of the 440 yard run. He won
his heat in the preliminary today in
Impressive style in the creditable time
of : 50 2-5. Davenport Is also thought
to be a likely winner in the half mile
run. ! .;.•"-
Straub of Chicago is looked upon as
a contender in the 100 yard dash by
virtue of his victory in that event last
y«ar. Nelson of Washington university
is held in high favor for this event and
also the 220 yard dash, which is con
sidered his better distance.
i-One of the features of the meet will
be the exhibition pole vaulting of
Leiand Scott, captain of the Stanford
team. Scott, who holds the world's
record of 12 feet 10% inches, is In
eligible to compete under the confer
ence rules, as this is his fourth year
in intercollegiate competition. Scott
made his record at Boulder, Colo., May
27 of this year and hopes to reach the
phenomenal mark of 13 feet tomorrow.
The recent cold weather is said to
have affected the California men, who
have been here several days in the
hope of becoming acclimated.
The preliminaries of the tenth an
nual track and field meet of the west
ern intercollegiate conference athletic
association, held today, were disap
pointing because of the small field.
The 100 yard dash, the 220 yard dash
and the high and low hurdles and two
heats in the quarter mile were the
only events run.
Davenport of Chicago and Wayman
of Leiand Stanford were the winners
of the two heats. Both. men won with
plenty to spare. Davenport ran in
:50 3-5. while the other heat was a bit
slower. Summaries:
First beat — Davenport, Chicago, first; Stolz,
Leiand Stanford, second: Knerht. Michigan ag
ricnltural. third. Time, ;.".0 3-.V
Second beat — Wajnxtn, Leiand Stanford, first;

CHANGE AT DAVIS
CUP LOOKS SLIM
Eastern Ranking Stars Seem
Shy at Tackling Australians
on Tennis Courts .
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
NEW YORK, June 3.— lnterest in the
possibility of the international tennis
.matches for the Davis cup this year
has been waning steadily ever since it
was announced that not one of the
ranking eastern stars could ba pre
vailed upon to go to either Great
Britain for the qualifying round or
later to Australia to attempt once
more the regainlrfg of the famous
trophy. The departure for. England
of Beals C. Wright probably will prove
the real feature of tennis for this
country so far as the international
matches are concerned and Wright's
invasion is purely a personal one.
Interviews with the leading racket
wielders elicit no enthusiasm at all
and the concensus of opinion among
these men is that regrettable as it
may seem it is nevertheless preferable
to rest easy this year rather than
make another unsuccessful attempt to
regain the Davis cup..
The least pessimistic of those in a
position to know the Inside facts is
Robert D. Wrenn, chairman of the
international committee of this, coun
try. Wrenn is not willing to admit
that the preliminary matches or a trip
to Australia are off for this year.
One of the stars who has been im
portuned to make the trip
with Beals Wright," while confessing
that he did not know positively just
what was in the air, gave as his, opin
ion that only the two San Francisco
boys. Long and McLoughlin, who made
an inglorious invasion last year into
the antipodes, would answer affirma
tively any request to fight for the
Davis cup.
Wright Beats Britishers
LIVERPOOL. June 3.— Beals C. Wright
of Boston won the, men's open singles
in the northern championship -lawn
tennis meeting today: The prize Is
the Championship of ' Europe cup.
Wright defeated S. E. Charlton in the
final of the singles 6—l, 6—4,6 — 4, 6— 4
and captured the challenge round by
default, A. j. Richie retiring.

BIG PLUNGE ON
OLD NICK FAILS
Tip Passed on First Appearance
of Son of Planudes Proves
Disastrous
When Old, Nick failed to win the
third race at Emeryville yesterday the
layers were jubilant, as his victory
would have proved very expensive to
them. The son of Planudes made* his
first appearance' of the season /and it
was reported that Al Goodln had given
him a special preparation, going to the
extent of working him at times when
the, dockers were absent. The gelding
was, credited with having shown fast
trials'- and it was whispered that he
was to be the medium of a coup. One
or two layers quoted 20 to 1 at the out
set, but onlyja few small wagers were
made at that price. So heavy was the
play that when the field went to the
post.Old Nick was'a 16 to 6 favorite,
while Good Ship had receded.
After racing second to Combury, un
til the stretch was .reached Old kick
assumed the lead amid much excite
ment among; the many who had pinned
their hopes to him. SeJden put up one
of the most vigorous Ndes of his ca
reer, but Old Nick began to hang near
the finish; and was unable to stand off
the rush of Good Ship, which won by
a head. Glennadeane was a close, third.
There was much' gloom among the
Goodin contingent, and' the numerous
backers of Old Nick, as he was exten
sively played throughout the country
as well as at the track. ;
. Most'of tlie other, winners were heav
ily supported. Sink Spring was the
medium of one of the j most successful
plunges of the' afternoon. ' He was
backed , down to even money in the
fifth,' and- Vosper, getting away flying,
had the gelding in front . all the way,
landing him a winner by a head from
Mike Jordan, which closed fast. Third
money went toGretchen G. s
Who, a 20 to 1 chance, upset calcu
lations by " winning the first race .from
Matchtulla and Lookout. : '
• Mattie Mack led all the way in tl{e
second, while Onatassa beat Le Petite
for the place., Ingham, therfaVorite,
broke down. when\ running prominently
the last sixteenth.
John Louis, , the heavily played first
choice, fought It out with Sir John in
the fourth and won by a head. Cap
tain Burnett was third. \u25a0;"-.\u25a0.
Oswald B lasted long enough to beat
Deneen a head inrthe closing- event
Electrowan was third. ; Dareington, the
favorite, failed to show; much speed.
: Buxton; and Vosper divided the rid
ing honors, ; each landing two /of their
mounts in" front. '-- .

PARTNERS UNABLE
TO EXTEND SMOKE
Black Giant Applauded for Speech m
Which He Pledges Squareness
V/->iHAMPIONrV /->iHAMPION r JACK JOHNSON^heId the attention of the fans last night
I fat Dreamland rink, when he boxed six round.* with hfs sparring partners.
i\-^ The crowd was not nearly as large as the one assembled at the same
place a week ago to watch Jeffries. Nor was the^reception anything like the
one accorded the boilcf maker. But at that Johnson was well received and
outside of a few taunting remarks from the gallery the black champxon was
given a fair greeting. .
. The fact that Johnson has been se«;n in his training work at the Seal
Rock" house is probably accountable for the attendance being smaller than
when Jeff appeared. Sam Langford was in the house and there was a rumor
that the Boston bone crusher was going-*
to offer to box t with Johnson, but this
rumor was probably used to boost
Langford. Anyway, Captain Mooney waa
on the job, and he said there was no
chance of the two blacks meeting, a3
he would not allow them to spar. Lang
ford made no effort to appear in the
ring against Johnson.
Johnson's boxing consisted of four
rounds of spaiVing with Joe Cotton,
his colored sparring partner, and two
rounds with Marty Cutler, who went
on last.
There was nothing particularly ex
citing about Johnson's work. In fact,
neither Cotton nor Cutler were in any
way capable of extending the cham
pion, though the men tried hard to land.
. A- little speech made by the cham
pion after the exhibition caused more
interest than his work in trre ring. He
was called on for a talk and he re
sponded. :\}j}-
SPEECH AND INTERRUPTION*
"Gentlemen." said Johnson, "for the
benefit of those who are present here
this evening, I will indulge in saying a
few words \u25a0in regard to the great
heavy weight battle, which takes place
on the fourth of July of this year in
San -Francisco. ('Amen' came from the
gallery and the champion was Inter
rupted by laughter.) For the benefit of
the educated gentleman in the gallery
I will say that I hope when he con
gregates there, as well as the men of
Europe and United States who will be
there, that th«jy will see Ca nigger j
funeral,' shouted a voice from the gal
lery, and there was more laughter)
two well trained men, both in the Very
best physical condition and that the
battle will b« between man and man
and may the best man. win."
The champion was loudly applauded.
Johnson's sparring partner, Joe Cot
ton, went after the champion and tried
hard to land, but Jack blocked the leads
in his usual artistic manner. Cotton
managed to stab a few lefts to John
son's mouth, but they were very light.
JOHNSON" LANDS HARD \u25a0;/.•!
In the second round Johnson dug in
a few hard blows which shook Cotton
up. Though the champion wore big
mitts the power behind his short arm
blows was noticeable. Cotton was
bleeding from the mouth at the finish.
His work with Cutler did not count
for much, as the latter is but an infant
in the hands of the champion. Johnson
spent his time blocking Cutler's leads
and stepping out of. the way of any
blows which came his way. tHis de
fensive tactics are nearly perfect; par
ticularly against his sparring partners,
as they seem unable to touch hto. -'Just
how well he will block when he is un
der-fire remains to be seen. • .
gj Throughout Johnson's boxing there
were loud calls for Sara Langford, and
when Johnson left the arena, Langford
took the stage and waa introduced by
Announcer Billy Jordan. The reception
given to the Boston tar -baby was, in
fact,- better than the greeting accorded
the champion. . . v
The exhibition was held under the
auspices of the Railroad club, and along
with Johnson's sparring exhibition
there were a series of four round fights
among local boys.' Fred Lang and Joe
Fletcher were in the.: windup-* scrap of
the night, and Referee Harry Fole jr
declared the .contest, which went four
rounds, a draw. *
MANTEI.I* GETS DECISION
Dick Mantell was given a' four round
decision over Frank Murphy. Eddie
Hardls ptimmeled Patsy Magee so badly
that the .referee rescued Magee from
the slaughter In the third round.
Eddy Dennis,, the fast Olympic club
man,- was 'too shifty for Eddie Menney,
and he was*given , the decision at .the
end of four' rounds. - Bert Andrews got
a four round .decision over BaYney
Mickey. Al Meyer, was given the de
cision over Johnny Jortes.
