10 THE MOVING PICTURE MAN CATCHES JEFF IN TRAINING— By GOLDBERG JEFF KNOCKS OUT \ | ROMANCE OF RING Boiler Maker's Pugilism Is Like Hurling \u25a0w.. '.'*- Hay in Wagon FRED R. BECHDOLT 0 t^eni. "You can't bear tales to.Jef ries about any one whom he cares for. .He .is -true hearted to a fault. But lie is as direct and as fond of fun as a. boy. His very face when he is loaf ing is boyish at times. But get him in the ring and how that face changes. It grows impassive. "It grows so impa-ssive that It is like stone.* The eyelids droop a little," the .heavy, brows draw a little closer than tlieir' wont. And thus the face remains -co long as the other man batters it. . As the body stays unshaken so the fdoestays undisturbed, impassive. And fiie' man comes on. He keeps' coming .pn.,' stern, stubborn, but tremendously Xjndisturbed. He looks like a man do ing hard work, accustomed to toil, &£nt on finishing It steadily, until he strikes; then the face wakens and ttiose heavy lines beside the mouth deepen, while the. scowl becomes a pair 'of crevices between the brows. DEEP SEATEP TRAITS That is the way the man has looked and acted in the past. Those are the traits he has shown to those about him. Some of them are but little things, but they seem to me to show things far be.neath the skin. And it is on those thingrs deep beneath the skin —on the very soul of the man— that -everything depends, all other things being equal. It will be the strangest combination, the most remarkable pair of opposites in rlns history.

The big man with a skin the color of dulled brass against the black marvel. ROMANCE KNOCKED OUT . \u25a0 There Is no romance in such fight ing as Jeffries does. It is hard work for wages. H«; killed the .romance of the heavy weight class; he made pugil ism like tossing hay into a wagon. But there is something bigger than glamour in his way of doing things. It is as different from Johnson's way as the cold north is from the breeze of the flaming south. It is the stubborn way of a hairy breasted race, who rudely did what they had set out to do. "I may take the devil of a licking, but I will get him," he put it tersely. At his best Kipling wrote a, poem, the "Ballad of • the /Camperdown." It took him many stanzas to t«ll the story of the heavy battiesliip against the swift armored cruiser: to describe the massive hull shot through" and through by the evasive craft of lighter tonnage. Then he described the drift ing of the ' huge, battered hull down on Its enemy and told how the victory was won primitively at the last. ' *. All of which — had those two craft be««n men — amounted to "taking the devil of a licking and getting him." It is within the range, of. possibility that when James J. Jeffries sets out to. do his heavy piece of work next Monday afternoon he may produce Just such a parallel. Jeff strolled apart with Abe Atteil.\The. two were, in conference.for an hour. Jeff bent over the little fighter, listen ing intently to* every word he uttered. It was an important talk for Jeff. Abe Attell was In Jack O'Brien's cor ner when the latter met- Jack Johnson in Philadelphia less than a year ago. The bantam weight told the undefeated heavy weight todaj' that O'Brien made Johnson "look foolish" oh many occa sions during that fight. Tie. said 'that Jeff should % use the same > method O'Brien employed ; against the black fighter. Attell illustrated the blows he would have Jeff deliver* with his own fists, and Jeff watched with his atten tion concentrated. > -. =-; After the : talk Abe declared that he was utterly taken by 'surprise at Jef fries' appearance. : He said that he had been misled by pictures 'of the former champion and. befor.e seeing that fighter in the flesh hadthought'Johnson^a 2 to 1 favorite. -. ."Now;*: Abe declared.

"It's going to be the greatest fight of them all," said Tim. 'when he had con cluded the Jeffries interview. "The big fellow is back again, just as good as he ever was.

They were all fairly received by James J., received, just about as well as any man could expect. They watched him closely, got in on the moving pictures; chatted and talked and joshed and agreed that Rtno is a great place. SURPRISED AT JEFFRIES Mclntosh fell in line with the others and told everybody how surprised he Is to see Jeffries in his present shape. But still he likes the black champion to win the battle. He would prefer to see it rest with the white race, but he can not forget the way in which John son won the championship from Tommy Burns a", year and a -half ago. Mcln tosh refereed that particular battle, and therefore he is in a position to know what he Is talking about. Burns, on the other hand, likes Jef fries. Not because Johnson beat him. be*ays. but because he believes that Jeffries is in condition to win and that he can come back and show the world in spite ;Of what' so many of th& wise critics have said. Burns still believes that he can beat Johnson. . He wants another crack at the black monster, but he does not believe away down deep in his heart that he can beat Jeffries. RENO, Nev., July 1. — "Why is Sam Langford?" . . X"""^ Ever since the proposed battle with Langford and Kaufman at San Fran cisco on Saturday last, which was de clared off on account of Governor Gil lett's rather acute anlmostty against the. game, Manager Joe Woodman of the Boston beaneater, and Sam Lang-ford himself have been hanging around ready, to step into the breach, should anything happen to James J. Jeffries. .When Sam Langford. who arrived from the coast today, heard that yes terday ; just a miracle saved Jeffries from an automobile accident, the big negro declared that he. only hoped that something would Incapacitate J im Jef fries so. that he might be substituted for the ."white: man. Langford has chased Johnson around the country, or. In: fact, over two hemispheres, in an endeavor to get a battle with him. But the, 'second "Joe Wolcott has' been-'un successful-in his mission. Johnson has turned him down at; every turn. JWhen the battle, with Kaufman Vas declared off Langford did not stop his training, but. kept on getting ready with the dim ray of hope before .him that Jef fries might gt> wrong or be accidentally prevented from filling:, the game. Sam would; step into "the ring and endeavor to! demonstrate his cltUm that he can beat: Johnson doing anything. -^ . Joe -Woodman, manager for Sam Langford, " realizes now that • there Is hoichance. to get Langford into .the ring^wlth Johnson for, a long time to come, win or lose, but he is. still there ,with the gilt to back his * man against the Galveston coon for any. amount" of money.^fi^SHßoKVsK)nSßiß9ttVS»CSf "Why. Sam Langford will fight ' Joh nson in '/\u25a0 a t chicken roost wlthoutVa min ute's ' preparation," where , there isn't any hope/; of ; a"gate, arid ';we. will bet' him or"? anybody else $10,000 that Sam will, tuck- him away." declared : Joe TVood man.;-"I ,know t that Sam can lick John son-and; we. stand ; ready: to wager our dough- anY time -the 'pair hook" up. .If only "something would, happen -to fries," maybe Sam might have an oppor-' tunity J.to : get 3 at : Johnson.'* : - ,", It: was Woodman's, blatant boasts re garding \hls ; man's abillty^ta. dispose Tof the colored world's heavy-weight cham pion in anyjklnd of ah^encounter that led^up to \the ousting of Woodman from Jbhnsori'sTcamp.the other^day.- \u25a0 ?< BobVArmstrong,^ the~» colored '; battler who is working , with Jeffries , in ' prep- - aratlon'-for his fight, met Lantrford when he arrived here on th« "Frisco train and escorted him to JeCries" camp. In all probability Langford will help out In Jeffries corner the after noon of tha fight. Both Woodman and Langford are aft»r Johnson, and the. pair will camp upon the trail of the colored champion until some special is made for a contest, s . Jake Kllraln has little or nothing to say. He thinks that it Is going to be a great battle and all that sort of» thing, but he does not feel Just ilkfT picking the winner at the present tlme.^ Old Jake also shook the hand of the big white man anfl sized him up In a critical manner. Of course there waa another reunion between him and John L. Sullivan, but this does not count for much, because they have been doing a stunt together practically ever since John L. beat Jake down In Mississippi away back in the seventies. LANGFORD FOR JEFF As for Langford, he still believes that Jeffries wIU win and he still believes that -he can beat Johnson, thouxh he modestly admits that he has no chance with the big fellow. Sam. was included among the Jeffries , inspection party this afternoon. He and the 'former champion are very friendly and each has a lot of regard for the other as a fighter. Sam stirred up quite a lot of talk when he announced that he is willing to jump into the ring in Jeff's place in the event that anything- does happen to -the white man- So far as anybody can. figure out. the selection of Charley White as the aux iliary referee meets with general satis, faction. . Rickard says that he win get into the ring and that there Is no chance to stop him unless he is taken ill in the meantime. . Deadlock in Betting in New York NEW YORK.
