SCENE OF BATTLE
SHIFTS TO NEVADA
Before Leaving Rickard Says Choice
Lies Between Reno and Goldfield
WILLIAM J. SLATTERY
THE scene of activity in the preparation for the Jeffries-Johnson chain- [
pionship battle shifted suddenly yesterday from San Francisco, where
all hope has flown, to Nevada, where a new hope has been' born. Tex
Rickard, the man to whom they arc all looking at the present moment, is
now in Reno, and within the next fc'w hours he,,probably will be- ready to
announce to the world in what particular Nevada city he. intends to build
the arena where it is thought the last great heavy weight championship
will be fought.
Rickard, true to his promise, jumped on the 10:40 o'clock train yesterday
morning:. A great crowd of traveling war correspondents, fans and curious
ones gathered at the depot to wish the daring promoter godspeed. He looked
cheerful enough even while leaving the city where but a few days before a
vast fortune was snatched suddenly out of his grasp. Tex was not thinking
about the fortune he might have gathered. He was thinking of some pos
sible way by. which he may still recoup some of his recent losses.
"It looks like Reno now," said .Rickard just before the. train pulled out.
"But I can not say at that. The com
mittees from Reno and Goldfield will
be there to meet me at Reno. I can't
ray yet which one of them will get the
fight, but it has to be one of them.
Reno is on the main line and it has
better inducements to offer in this
way, but the Goldfield people arc trying
hard, and maybe they will be rewarded
at that."
Leading the Goldfield committee are
Ole Elliott and Kid Highley, two of the
best friends Rickard has. Both of them
are Goldfield men, pioneers of the city
that grew up in a night and faded
away In another. They want to start
another boom in their town. They Eec
the greatest opporunlty they have ever
Bf-en since the world famous Gans-
Nelson battle there nearly four years
ago. They are rich, powerful and in
fluential men and they will leave no
stone unturned to land the greatest
of all ring battles for their city.
BOOST FOR GOL.DFIEXD
Elliott was associated with Rickard
in staging the Gans-Nelson battle. He
\u25a0was BJckard's partner in the mining
camp. Both of them made their for
tunes together. Highley is another old
;ial of Riekard's. He was also former
!y tied up with Tex in the boom days
of Nevada. It is believed that* with
the combined influences of Highley and
Elliott at work on him, Tex will pay a
lot of serious attention to Goldfield,
• and that its chances are much brighter
'.'t J .i an most of the fans are willing to
' admit-
It has come to such a pass'with Rick
• ard that he must make a desperate
"•'. effort to locate in the city wliich makes
V him the best financial inducement. It
• has ceased to be a matter of pride or
' • sentiment or glory with Rickard. He's
in more than $50,000 in San Francisco
: right now, so it's up to him to use all
liis strategy and all his skill and all
\u25a0 Mr cleverness to gather In as much of
this as he possibly can. If he breaks
. even he will be a lucky man. •
GLEASOX FOR XEVADA
Jack Gleason will stick around for a
. few days. Even with the deal going
against him as it has been, Gleason's
face is still adorned with that always
valuable asset, the smile of hope. Jack
was a Nevada sTTbuter yesterday for the
first time in his life and he refrained
from mentioning the name of James N.
Gillett. governor of California.
Gleason probably will leave about the
-end of the present week or the begin
ning of next. He was authority for
the statement yesterday that all
moneys taken in for tickets will be
returned at some future date. The coin
may not be returned to the holders of
coupons till July 5; but it will be- given
- back anyhow, so Gleason advises them
all to get one of his smiles.
Johnson will depart on Thursday
evening in company with his entire
Ftaff of trainers, special representa
tives, sparring partners and others.
" They will all be in the party. In fact,
everything and everybody goes except
the two racing automobiles. He wanted
to take them along also; in fact, he
wanted to drive one of them up, but he
changed his mind.
Billy Delaney will be in charge of the
party. Manager Tom Flanagan left
on the train with Rickard. He goes to
• secure training quarters for Johnson.
Jeffries spoke first and nailed the most
\u25a0 /ivailaMe spot in the Sagebrush State,
po it looks as though Flanagan may
have a hard time getting a location
puttable to the requirements of the
Mack champion.
Johnson did not work yesterday
alter he came in from a 12 mile spin
on the road. He Intended to do a lot
of boxing, but he changed his mind
and concluded that he would save up
. his 1 enorgy for. today and tomorrow,
when lie will wade in and give all
of his sparring partners a farewell San
Francisco lacing. He weighed 212
pounds yesterday afternoon.
SMOKE XOT WORRIED
. Johnson docs not believe the change
in training quarters will affect kirn in
the least. He says that he has trained
'In all kinds of climates and tha:t they
all agree with him. He can accustom
. himself to the hot and the cold weath
er at will, he declares, and he Is sure
that he will be just as much at home
< on the Nevada desert as he is near the
Han Francisco sea shore.
The big black champ was in fine
v humor. Apparently, the trouble which
'. the promoters are having is not shared
•by him. He kidded everybody ; who
rf came to call on him and he was In
' general ail around good humor. He
. willingly posed for a few pictures for
.The Ca!i photographer and seemed very
anxious to do all he could to make the
\ pictures come out right.
*.' It begins to look as though every
fight fan in San Francisco will wit
• ness the great battle in Nevada pro
vided that he can dig up the price of
carfare and a seat. Already, they are
"lies-inning to ask the price of a return
trip to the Nevada metropolis and to
'inquire what sort of a rate the South-.
*"em Pacific will accord for the' many
excursionists.
The fare to Reno and return is $16,
but it was said on good authrity last
' night that the Southern Pacific will
••jnake a special rate of $10,^ for. the
round trip for the fight. It seems to
. € be the general impression that several
"thousand fans from the various cities ,
; of California will make the trip, the
"' majority of them being supplied by
r ' San Francisco.
The Indoor yacht club, whose, mem- ' '.
% .bers. 'number some of the most prom- j
inent sporting men in the city; have
* already chartered a .special' train,
which will leave on the Saturday after
riooa btfore the--battlo and,-return-im
xnediately after the contest. ' The com- I
mittee in charge, Joe Lewis, Frank J.
Hennessy and James Mulvey, has
closed with the Southern Pacific and is
already booking members who are de
sirous of making the trip.
This train will be made up of eight
cars, including buffet cart and diner,
and will run right through to the Ne
vada city where the fight will be held.
Commissioner Tom Corbett '. is also
negotiating for a special to leave, on'
the Saturday or the Sunday before the
battle.
DETAILS COMPLETED
FOR TRAINING QUARTERS
RENO, Xev., June 20. — William Me-
Carney, representing Rickard and Glea
son and Sid Hester, arrived in . Reno
this morning" from San Francisco and
today completed all the preliminary ar
rangements for training quarters for
the big fighters who are to fight on
July 4. McCarney seems positive that
Reno is going to land the big fight, al
though he stated that Rickard has
made no definite statement to that
effect.
McCarney is convinced that Goldfield
does not offer the advantages to be
found in Reno and is very strong in
his statements in favor of this city as
the scene of the fight.
This afternoon the business men's
committee of Reno held a meeting and
discussed the situation. It was decided
to have the committee take the even-
Ing motor car for Truckee and meet
Rickard at that place.
Johnson may have trouble in secur
ing suitable training quarters in this
city. It was thought that arrange
ments had been completed Saturday
for him to train at Laughton's Springs,
a short distance from Reno. Today,
however, the' owner of that resort 1
stated that he would not allow Johnson
to train there, and "William McCarney
is now looking for other accommoda
tions for the big black.
The Goldfield boosters arrived in
Reno last night and are confident that
they will land the contest for the
southern camp.
It was given out by the local railroad
officials today that the Southern Pacific <
company would not guarantee to handle
any special trains In case the fight
went to Goldfleld any farther than
Mina. It appears that the strike called
several weeks ago on the Tonopah
and Goldfield road has never been de
clared off and the Southern Pacific
trainmen have refused to work the
trains any farther than Mina, which is
the terminus of the Southern Pacific
system in' southern Nevada.
McCarney received instructions . from
Joe Woodman today secure training
quarters at Reno for Sam Langford.
Following these instructions McCarney
received the following telegram from
Sid Hester:
On train with Rickard: have Reno
citizens stand pat for Ketchel-
Langford fight.
Arrangements were made this after
noon by McCarney for training quar
ters for Ketchel. It is thought that
Ketchel will train at Sparks and
McCarney Is endeavoring to secure ac
commodations there.
ALLOWED BY LAW, SAYS
GOVERNOR'S SECRETARY
CARSON CITY, Nev., June 20.—Hun
dreds of letters and many telegrams,
pleading that some steps be taken to
prevent the holding of the Jeffrles-
Jonnson fight in Nevada, are pouring
into the office of Governor Dickerson.
There has been a continuous stream of
these communications since the issu
ance of the 1 ultimatum by Governor Gil
lett of California that the contest could
not take place in that state. All man
ner of influence is being brought to
bear upon the officials here in an ef
fort to defeat the fight promoters in
what is conceded to be their last stand.
Governor Dickerson is not In his of
fice but is expected home in a few
days. Private Secretary Finch stated
today that it w6uld be impossible to
answer the communications that have
been received and said that, no action
would be taken regarding them until
word had been given by the chief exec
utive.
"Supreme justices, the attorney gen
eral" of Nevada and prominent jurists
have given it as their private opinions
that there is nothing In Nevada's law
that would empower, the governor to
interfere," said Finch today. "The law
is plain and cleancut andT makes this
sort of contest legal. I have no way
of saying what will be: done."
At the; governor's office the hope
was expressed that the flood- of let
ters and telegrams would cease. No
answers to the protests have been
issued.

After His; D^
RENO, Nev., June 20.: — On home soil
again and happy to be there after his
disastrous adventures in California,
Promoter Tex Rickard was given \u25a0'\u25a0 a
rousing welcome by. his fellow Nevadans
on his arrival in this city late tonight.
Reno extended wide its arms to the
man who is guiding the destinies of
the Jeffries-Johnson fight. .Goldfield,
represented by upwards of a score of
prominent business and mining.; men,
vied heroically with its rival ' for the
"battle of the century" in its long dis
tance reception - t of .the native son.
Among the Goldfielders are "Ole El
liott and E. S. (Kid) Highley, former
business partners. of Rickard. Elliott
and three others, journeyed up to
Truckee to escort Rickard into Reno.
Soon after reaching : his hotel,"Rick
ard went into conference with the Reno
and Goldfield committees to ; hear the
inducements each has to offer for the
big fight. It was announced that Rick
JOHN L. SCORES
MODERN FIGHTERS
Patriarch of Prize Ring Says
Fat Purses Have Spoiled
Pugilists of Today
Accompanying the expression of his
sentiments with all the scorn of the
man who "fought with bare knuckles,"
John Lv Sullivan, world-famed pugilist
of the olden days, who arrived fti San
Francisco yesterday to \u25a0 observe, the
Jeffries-Johnson fight, tore to shreds
the system employed by the former in
training for his battle with the colored
man. Jeffries and his method of, train
ing was but one of the targets of the
old champion's caustic comment. - ;'
' He dealt with the whole pugilistic
situation of the present day Jn an em
phatic and picturesque style,^ declaring
that,so big had become the purses of
recent years the fighters and promot
ers were apt to forget that the public
paid the money.
VI understand," said the old man,
"that Jeffries has Corbett and Choynski
and some other of the old fellows box
ing with him in 'his camp. "What does
he want with the old timers? : Every
man around him seems to be ; 10 years
older than himself, and what heireally
needs is a couple of young huskies who
are game enough to tear into. him. I
have not seen him yet and I suppose I
should not criticise him; but. l. can not
see. what is his idea 'in fooling around
with men who are; between 40 and 50
years of age. V . - ' .
"The fact of the matter is there: is
too much of this dashed nonsense about
fighting, today. In' the" old days '-•when'
we trained the ; public was cordially in
vited to come along and watch. : Now
they charge a man 25 1 cents to see fa
fighter toss^the medicine.ball, 50 cents
to watch him get into, an automobile
and all they can get to see him fight.
• "In my. day. if ; we tried;chafging;ad
mission to our training quarters a gang
of boys would have come jj around and
thrown bricks at us.— Then: we ; had' to
fight where we could. -We had to dodge
the. sheriff of.one township, -hot foot it
to another and' put up a: ring in .the
woods. When a fighter fell' he 1 was
very apt to land a gainst aVrock,. ;
"This constant grab . for the money
has had'the expected result and/ though
I. have-been' here but a short time,' lam
struck with the tone of. the public sen
timent on the fight question.. The fight
ers seem to- have been running things
with too high a c hand. ;\u25a0 Why, -I; have
been told that they even ; started a.lit
erary bureau— think Vof-« It, ; a literary
bureau— in the fighting,- camps. ;- The
newspapers were told ithey. would have
to pay for.such press agent stuff as. this
bureau saw: fit; to turn . out/; Can ;you
beat that? These fellows seem to think
that .the public' has ]nothingi to "say fin
the matter. .'When a man 'is-, asked ; to
put, up a steep ; price to , a" fight
he has a right to know; Just : what kind
of a fight he is going,to see andin. what
condition the fighters • are... After^ all,
the public ;•: is' paying the $101, 000^ for
this fight: It' is time this fact was re
membered." .' '. .'^{^.•' :- : .-'-' : ' : -':'^- \u25a0\u25a0 -\u25a0

of Johnson: He argued that the latter
had not fought any one worthy of note

to -what ithey had-'done.. =:-.: ; :.,i

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO.* ATLAITTA. GA.
JEFF WILL START
FOR RENO TONIGHT
Fighter's Special Gar to Leave Oakland
Mole for Nevada Gamp
; [Special Dhpctck to The Call]
JEFFRIES' TRAINING CAMP, RQWARDEN^AN; June 20.— Jeff and
his staff of trainers, friends and a corps of newspapermen will pull up
their stakes shortly.after noon tomorrow and depart from Rowardennan,
the beautiful camp in the Santa Cruz mountains, where "the hope of the
white race" has rounded into such grand shape during the last few
months. The whole kit is scheduled to leave at 1:47 o'clock tomorrow after,
noon and go north by way of Oakland. Arrangements have been made for
a : special Pullman car for the Jeffries party, which will pull out of Oakland
mole'shortly after 9 o'clock tomorrow evening for Reno.
'. /. .Everything is in" readiness for Jeff's departure. All his training parapher
nalia is ready for shipment; in fact, some of it has been, shipped already,, and
some of it wiir be sent overland to Reno in Jeffs automobile, which -will be
in charge of his nephew, Tod Boyer, who has been one of the faithful in
Jeffries' camp sincere started training.
. * Jeff was in a jovialmood tbdayand the newspaper photographers, who.
had been lying around for a couple of \u2666
days waiting for pictures, found the
big. fellow, in" good spirits this after
noon', as he stripped and posed for their
benefit.
Jeff realizes that the sooner he gets
away from here and gets settled in his
new training quarters the better It will
bo for himself, as he can feel at ease
and get in some good licks in the short
time which he has left to complete
his training.
VAX COURT JOINS PARTY
In the party 'with Jeff will be De
Witt Van Court, the old time in
structor at the Olympic club, who was
responsible for Jeff joining Corbett's
training camp when the latter was
training for his fight with Fitzsim
mons at Carson City. Van Court saw
the possibility of .a great fighter in
Jeff and was a great admirer of the
fellow, even when Jeff was a. mere
novice and when other critics declared
that Jeffries was too slow and would
never do.
Van Court will be a member of Jeff's
staff of trainers from now on and he
will be one of the chief seconds when
the alfalfa king faces Johnson July 4.
It has not been definitely decided
where Jeff will train when he reaches
Nevada. There are three places in the
running, but Moana springs seems to
bo the favorite.
SEEK TRAINING QUARTERS
If Manager Sam Berger can. get the
right accommodations. Jeff will likely
finish his training at this place. Moana
springs is two and a half miles east of
Reno and is .within easy communication
with the 'city,, as an electric "line runs
to the place.
7 Joe Egan, who has been a resident of
Nevada for some time, has been -down
here with Jeff for the last, few days,
giving him Information as. to where he
might train. Egan is one of Jeffs old
handlers and a bosom friend of the big
fellow. He left for .Reno today to as
sist Berger in selecting a training lo
cation. '
Bowers* mansion, a home which was
for a long time occupied by a: wealthy
resident, .who made. his fortune during
the Corristock days, is another candi
date. Egan says it would make an
ideal training camp. It Is 12 miles east
of Reno. Steamboat springs is also
being talked of. \u25a0
The few hours of spare time which
Jeff will have from the moment he ar
rives in Oakland tomorrow evening un
til he departs for Reno in his special
car will probably be spent at the home
of his friend, Dick Adams of Oakland.
' Jim Corbett left here this evening
for San Francisco, but he will join the
Jeffries party "tomorrow night at Oak
land and journey along with them to
Reno.
; Corbett expects to get in a few really
good sparring bouts with Jeff before
the^ day of -battle. It has been some
days since Jeff has had on the gloves,
and. his friends hope he will box a few
more times before he fights. Jeff seems
to detest sparring and he sidesteps
boxing every time he gets a chance. .
SIDESTEPS BOXING AGAIN
There is no doubt that Governor Gil
lett's interference has upset Jeff's train
ing plans to some extent. He has not
done much work, during the last four
days and.today was no exception to the
rule. He looks fit, however, and if ap
pearance's are not deceiving he will en
ter the ring in tip top'shape.-
Jeff's training today consisted en
tirely, of road work. He was on the
road in the morning, traveling- to Boul
der Creek and back, a distance of seven
miles. It was thought that he might
do a. little gymnasium work during the
afternoon, but he never even mentioned
such a thing. -
When, lt comes to being the boss. Jeff
assumes all the duties, as there is no
one 'here .-'.who 'can sway him' from the
course that pleases him. He has trained
just as he felt. , "
The trouble which .T*efT had with the
management of the Rowardennan hotel
has, been settled/ according to what the
hotel people said today. They would
not make'known what the understand
ing was. but. they declare everything i 3
all right now.; /
:-\: -\ Berger " telephoned down .to Corbett
today and. said that he would let Jeff
know just where he would -train as
soon as . Berger made arrangements in
Nevada.
\u25a0Jeff was in : receipt^ today of a small
wooden.club which was sent by a fight
fan ;by . express from Colorado. On its
way-to the. coast the train messengers
put* their tags oh: it. and there were
many funny ' remarks written on the
tags. The original sender advised Jeff
to "use it on ; the coon* on July "4. v
JEFF TAKES ON WEIGHT .
'\u25a0; : ;,The lacklbf ,wbrk during; the last few.

JOSEPH MURPHY
weight and while he has not stepped on
the scales up to date he does not look
so finely drawn as he did a week ago.
Some of -his trainers maintain that
this little rest will do him more good
than harm, as he was working too hard
and needed a letup.
