ASHLEIGH B. SIMPSON
Special Dispatch to The Call]
REXO. July 4.—
Draining slowly but
steadily, like a
great funnel emp
tying 1 liquid. Reno
began to lose its
host of visitors im
mediately after the
battle uas over.
From the arena
thousands swarmed
direct into the long
li.ies of the South
ern Pacific's ears,
and * before there
was a chance for
congestion of traffic
at the Reno depot
two trains of 12 cars apiece were roll
• ing; filled to capacity, toward San
Francisco.
On all the sidetracks at the depot
were more cars rapidly filling: from the
ever increasing procession leaving the
ticket office. Automobiles, carriages
and vehicles of every description con
tinually emptied their loads in from the
Golden hotel, but the great swarm of
humanity in front of the hostelry
seemed different from the usual mob
that had blocked the sidewalk before
the fiffht headquarters — it was moving.
Baggage came out of the swinging
doors without a halt, and barely stop
ping to count noses, different parties
made their way rapidly to the railroad
station.
I-OTIf TO LEAVK fc MBERTV
There were quite a number of people
loth to leave the lively city, and when
they were finally landed at the depot
surrounded by suitcases and handbags
they stepped to one side just for a
moment to place one more on the
"red *"
• \u25a0
Devoid of the disorder and trouble
that might have occurred save for the
adequate accommodations of the rail
road, the multitude made Its way out
of the mountain city. There were long
faces and faces with smiles, but. as one
traveler, remarked:
"There is nothing left now but to go
home. I've lost all my money, my
watch and my rings, but, thank God!
I've got my" ticket home safe in my
. pocket."
It was remarked by many people at
'the fighr tlia't 'there seemed to be a
scarcity of colored people, despite the
fact that a great" many had" come to
town. Even if the negro spectators re
mained hidden until after the fight
there certainly was a gathering of them
when the trains began to pull out to
ward the west. They were a happy lot,
and one woman of. dusky skin who at
tended the battle took off her hat be
fore she boarded a train for home.
* When asked why she did so she re-
PBOID OF HER COLOR
"Cause ah wants everybody to know
that ah's a niggah, das why, an' ah'm
prahd of it." A great many laughed at
the remark, but there were those who
turned away with sullen mutterings.
The hard work of the Nevada police
•and the local department to keep order
over the thousands was almost unneces
sary* for there was no sign of diffi
culty or commotion of any sort. The
authorities were on the alert, but they
were scarcely given a chance to make
an arrest. It was a very peaceful
crowd. If it hadn't been for the ques
tion of going home, which really
ranked next to the fight itself, there
might have been trouble.
The minute the white fighter fell
there was but one thought uppermost —
how to get home. All day the Southern
Pacific brought trains to Reno. Many
of the cars were sleepers and many of
the people who looked sharp about ob
taining accommodations rode westward
with a berth.' Berths were just a mat
ter of luxury and the majority of the
people were <julte. satisfied with a chair.
As the long ifnes of these day
coaches drew slowly out of the station
the passengers could be seen munching
sandwiches, reading comfortably or
smoking. The greatest battle of the
age was over and what mattered the
betting or the downfall of the favorite?
The trip was novel; the company con
genial.
DELIGHT I!V MERE SEAT
There were also quite a number of
visitors who settled with delight into
the plush seats, for they had come to
Reno too late to secure rooms and wero
truly worn out from walking the
streets. There were" some -who still
talked loudly and gesticulated with
excitement, but It was because of the
clean fairness of the fight and the
unquestionable superiority of the vic
tor.
The faction that was most amusing
of the home going ' throng was that
which had come into, Reno underneath
the cars. Tired, disheveled and dirty,
they hung around the depot in groups,
from the one legged negro who has
been with the Johnson camp to the
sturdy youth who walked most of the
way from Chicago. .They made no
move to board the cars. A seat in one
of the day coaches would have meant
heaven to them, but they had to wait
until darkness and the coming of. ' the
freight cars.
Quietly the tremor of excitement, the
electric feeling In the air died away.
The great hordes ' that brought tense
and exhilarating life to Reno passed
and In the passing left; but a'stillness
to mark* th« closing of-.one of the
greatest' episodes of the age; „

bloody nose, but he was otherwise none
the worse. He was Eimply dazed by
Johnson's wicked uppercuts to "the jaw.
The only mark visible on Johnson
was one of some standing, and was
pointed out by an acute observer in
the gallery. "See the razor mark on
the back of his shoulder!" he. shouted.
Perhaps it was there, but I could not
make it out.
Jeff kept boring for the body, and
landed — is that the word?— many times,
but the negro only grinned and even,
on occasion, patted the white man on
the back In a patronizing way. You
simply could not feaze the black man's
homely good nature. Indeed, this -was
not a fight in the ordinary sense. I
accept fully the absurd word "contest."
There was no bad blood between the
men and it, was wholly a matter of
business. ,
The negro got fair play and his full
share of applause? There was not a
word but one of any race feeling in
the affair, and that was at once sup
pressed by a strong outcry of disap
proval from the crowd. "Cut that out!"
they shouted, and it was.
It was a fair play crowd, sure
enough.
There were women in the crowd,
plenty of them. The promoters had
erected a special box for their accom
modation, but the occupants were, for
the most part, not the women one
meets in society, and. perhaps, not the
women one ought to meet anywhere.

THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS
EVERY BLOW DESCRIBED
RENO, New, July 4.— Following is a detailed story
\u25a0-*.- - — — \u2666 . The men refused to shake hands.
Johnson smiled and Jeff calmly
chewed gum. After a long opening
session of' sparring Johnson* shot
.. — _ -\u2666nig ii e ft to the fac« and they
clinched. Johnson pushed Jeff back. Johnson swung
his left to the jaw and as ; Jeff roughed it at close
quarters the big black shot his left again to the face..
The men locked arms, and on the .break Jeff clouted
his man twice with two short arm lefts to the .face
and the crowd yelled. "Why don't you laugh?" shouted
Corbett at Johnson, and the latter winked and smiled
back at the former champion. The men continued in a
locked' embrace, and as the gong terminated the round
Johnson playfully tapped Jeff on the shoulder and
Went to his corner smiling. Jeff then told his seconds
to let him alone, that he would fight his battle. It
was a tame round.
— \u2666•. Johnson game up chatting like a
magpie, but Jeff only smiled. "He
wants to flght a little .bit, Jim,"
' yelled Corbett. "You bet I do, Mls
"\u2666\u25a0tah Corbett," retorted the cham
pion. As Jeff held on, Johnson clouted him with a
wicked right to the jaw. As the men. separated from
a Clinch Jeff swung his right to the stomach, to which
Johnson retaliated with two ripping left uppercuts to
the jaw. The men closed together, Jeff leaning against
the champion with the sheer weight of his shoulders.
It was a case of strength against cleverness, with the
v ..i-t__ i I_~ tne fetter of it. •"
— \u2666Both came up slowly. "Come- in,
Jim," shouted Johnson, saying which
the champion hooked his left to the -.
stomach with much force. Johnson
— \u2666then" jabbed his twice;, to- the |
face and as they .closed in breast to breast Johnson
whipped a. left uppercut to the jaw and neatly
blocked the boiler maker's onslaughts. As the \u25a0 men
circled about the ring Johnson kept up a constant cross
fire of conversation. 1 The men separated and Johnson
Jabbed thrice with left to the face and whipped a short
arm right to the face. A long clinch followed, during
which the black missed a wicked right uppercut. Jeff
rushed in, but Johnson blocked him neatly on a vicious
right swing and again patted his antagonist on the
shoulder as the round ended. Johnson, on points, had
a good advantage, but there was not much power behind .
his stings.
V' Jeff missed a left swing, Johnson
rushing: away, leaving a stab to the
face. Johnson' taunted Jeffries;con
stantly. "Don't rush, Jim; don't you
•\u25a0hear what I'm telling you?" shouted
Johnson, backing it up with a right uppercut "to the
Jaw. Jeff got -in'; a good', right to the mouth and -the
blood started flowing from the colored .man's lips.
"First blood for Jeff," yelled the crowd. - Johnson shot
a hard left to the mouth and almost wrestled his/ man
against the ropes. The "golden smile" had not faded \
from Johnson's face at this stage. Jeff forced the
champion against the ropes and a half dozen short arm
body punches .found their mark in rapid succession In
response, Johnson shot a right to the jaw and- the round
ended. It was Jeff's round and the best one so far.
-• \u25a0 \u25a0 :: — — -W Johnson, as usual, came up with .;
a volley 'of words. Jeff paid r no at-v
tention: to- this, but rushed in close
and they -wrestled for a spell. -At
\u25baclose quarters Jeff shot two rights
to' the body, to which Johnson; responded with a left
uppercut, cutting Jeff's, lips a bit. } Johnson a moment
later drove his right to the jaw and then followed it
with two left uppercuts -to the same* place." Johnson
jarred" the white^ man with a' straight left to the; mouth
and they eased up in ajclinch. Both men were bleeding
from the mouth."-". Suddenly: Jeff sent the black man's/
head back a foot 'with a straight left 'to'jthe' mouth, and
Johnson looked a bit serious as he .took his seat,; not, '•
however, without giving. the boiler maker the customary
round end love tap. No! serious damage' done to either.
a ' : 'V. ?Tin going' tomlx wlthihlm now," \u25a0
said Jeff to his seconds. .Three. lefts
radiated from the'ehampion's shoul- /
der, v catching Jeff Jon the face in "
.\u25a0^ry \u2666'each" instance.'.'and 'the blood seeped
from Jeff's left "cheekbone. Both.menfought'cautiously.
A' ringside ; fan asked, Johnson ; lf he would- like: a drink.'/
"Too much on hand: now," quickly rejoined; the cham
pion, and he ripped in three left uppercuts to the whiter
man's jaw. '"\u25a0 .-/\u25a0 Jeff waded ; In, 1 but" was ' met \ wi th ' a ; nasty -?

at'this stage, but he suddenly electrified the cro.wd by
making a round end rally, landing his right to the jaw

it ; this stage,; a right uppercut j almost lifting him j from
the floor. He seemed all, at sea in locating the blade
who waded in like a j merciless juggernaut, dealing' out
severe punishment with every tap. The round ended
with Corbett. advising Jeff to cover up and stay away.
Jeff stared rather blankly* into the. middle of the ring

t?" Jim: did not. They closed in, Corbett importuning
hJsman to beware of ;the, dangerous uppercut. Jeff's
right eye was almost totally closed at this stage. John

JOHNSON'S SHOWING
A BIG SURPRISE
Tommy Burns Thinks Present
Champion Might Have Beaten
Jeff at His' Best
By TOMMY BURNS
Con t tnued from Page 17, Colium T
for. many weeks beforehand that ha
*tvas"in> sense a lamb- being fenced up>
for the "slaughter.
COOI. AND " TANTALIZING
Jo^h^onwaa acool, tantalizing tore-*
adorall. the 'time, and Jeffries a bull
that would not be thoroughly mad
dened, consequently the sport fell far
short of anticipations. Johnson was as
cool as a chunk of ice from end to end.
There was method •in ' everything he
did, and he never missed a chance to
score at times when Jeffries hugged
him with the embrace of a bear. Once
or twice Johnson might have suffered
had he' had a more,- skillful- or persist
ent opponent to contend against»""for ha
overbalenced awkwardly; but that kind
of thing Is liable to occur with any;
boxer.
I waited vainly to see Jeff ri« rush
and do things, and for a whi!a''held tho
impression that he had mapped out a
plan of action which would be shown
when time and the opening* arrived. lit
one round Jeffries made fast play, but
the time. keeper called the two men ofC
before they had got going properly.
Yes, readers of the world, I looked izx
vain for the Jeffries that I had read
such a great deal of.- He was not in,
Reno's arena this afternoon, nor did I
see anything like him.
JOH.VSON" A GREAT BOXER
"It is only Just to Jack Johnson to say
that even were Jeffries the man mosS
of those who follow the fighting gamo
thought him the present champion
might still have triumphed, for "lie 13
unquestionably a stiff er proposition
than he has been given credit for be
ing.' Looking at Johnson in the ring
today I- could not help thinking of tho
contract I took on In Australia and
added a good deal to the physical dis
advantage I labored under by making
the pace. My weight was just over 160
\u25a0pounds. > I trained too hard and; In a
very hot locality. *'"*">' - v ;
* However. Johnson has promised- ni3
the first chance; that is to say. he trill
flght no one else before he meets me, a
concession that I appreciate wrjrmuch,
a3 another meeting will satisfy me aa
to which of us is the better fighter.
If Johnson again succeeds then I will
shake hands with him. and compliment
him. .If I get .through he will be al-»
ways gratefully remembered, . and t
•hope we may- remain good friends.
I was sorry to see Jeffries fall thi3
afternoon, but one must go under when
two men stand up to fight for a world's
championship. If any remarks I havg
made herein are not quite to the liking
of the defeated gladiator's friend3-X
hope they will give me the credit of
not endeavoring to put a foot on a man
who Is down.
I have been asked. to write my opin
ion of the battle and what happened
and am doing so with all consideration
for the vanquished.
Both Johnson and Jeffries certainly
surprised me, but in opposite ways.
I had no idea that Johnson was so
skillful, game and enduring a boxer
and I never suspected that Jeffries
would give such a poor exhibition.
It was such a one "sided. contest that
there 13 little reason for comment.
Had the fighting been at all even thl3
story would have been a # great deal
longer. \
Mrs. James Jeffries Has
Hysterics
RENO, July 4.— Mrs. Jeffries had hys
terics when the word was flashed to her
that her big hsuband had been whipped.
She sat' in a* fborn in the* local news
paper office and received the bulletins
from 'the ringside, and when the end
had come she" cried and wept frantic*
ally.
' Ina little" while, however, she quieted
down, and had regained her composure
by the time she. reached th» camp.
