J. SLATTERY i:[Special Dispatch io The Call] \r IT} EXO. July 3.—And this is the day \u25a0%i'/-|\ after. With the pugilistic climax .C~* of yesterday, a day of regret and .; remorse, for the most part, follows. 3iie victory of the negro over the ;; iyliite man was so convincing, so abso f.: Jutely conclusive that the majority of ,v Jeffries' admirers can not realize that •iUiey banked their hopes upon such a. and shattered hulk. They :Vrcailze now that while Jeff was out wardly as great a warrior as heaver was, inwardly the ravages of dissipa tion had done their work beyond re , pair. They know that that wonderful '.heart of a few j'cars back was broken • early in that fifteenth round struggle; ,:that when the battle started that mam • ;mplh like constitution over which the :; .'world had marveled was shattered be :Vond repair. '-••But disappointed as it was at the .'result of the battle the greatest crowd :."that ever gathered to see a prize fight .; started in immediatel}' to try and for \u25a0£ct the tragedy. This was evidenced . .in .the gambling houses and sporting '' resorts.' High revelry ruled through out the night following the battle, as . the majority of the visit(>rs walked ''the streets, for ?leep was an impo^i •. hil-ity, tlicre not being accommodations •.•in the entire city for a tenth of the, .'\u25a0 '{^ailiered thousands. I \u0084.Almost. Almost every ono at the ringside was! :•'disappointed in Jeffries, lie never at :?" A-n-y time showed himssif to be the' '. : fighter who brousrht .himself so prom ;"-*nently before tie public eye several ' .> fears ago. LACKED (JAMEXKSS There jirere a great many v.-ho Mouldnt deliberately accuse him of jquiUfngr. but on the contrary there is * hft one who will *>ver attempt to call •"..him esnie effr witnessing 1 h'm tlown -..fail to .Inck Johnvm. . Jr(T. «'hen li* 1 was carr'oi tohi? oor . \u25a0ri'fr. was ;i pitiful object to look at. <>n<» funny thing happen?d which Will call to mind that therp are still a f«w. Rood thinss about Jack Johnson s> mskeup. Defeat was unknown to Jefl in the pa*t., and while Delaney wa* with hlin be had a faculty for Hcconi modatiaic a few friends and curiosity f=rPkf>rs by g;ivir.er them the gloves with •which he had knocked out his oppo nents. K<3dl«» Smith of Oakland is very clo«=e t<-- Delanry and at the time the latter \u25a0was handling .Te.rr I>elaney referred !">rne of the foolish mall to Smith for an opinion. They came across several Jettere asking for the gloves. jy.&l* Smith fhid: "Delaney, rye got niv-Vat ftunt. We'll go to the Olym pic <~lub sind get all the old gloves used . in the amateur tournaments and smear \u25a0 a little Mood on them and write j* " '.short 'bull* letter, telling them that \u25a0as we have fo many friends and ouri ,'oslty seekers -we <rant send them a pair of jploves, but, we will ?end them •tljis one' —the one that knocked out so and so." JEFF GETS fiLOVES . After Jeff was carried to his corner ' the same thing came to his mind. He turned around to Jim Corbett and said: "Jim. you know T always used to five the* gloves away that I knocked my opponent out withl Now I haven't tot a single one left. , I wonder if I oan get the ones that Johnson beat me • Vfith." Corbett said to Cornell: "Tou go and ccc Jack and ask him for them." Cornell hurried over to. Johnson's "corner and said: '\u25a0 '\u25a0' "JtcSt, Jim ha.s given away all the jrloves that he has knocked out other ' fighters with and he wants to know if you will give him the ones you beat . him with." Johnson said: "Sure, I will be glad to give them to him for a souvenir." Jack Johnson left last night for New York, where, on Monday, he will open a week's. engagement at Hanimer jstein's roof garden for a flat salary of 52.000. . : • . Jeff and his party left- tonight for *— ' San Francisco in a special car attached to No. 23, leaving Reno at 7:45. WORLD TOUR FALLS " H. H.

IDOL .': JEFfRiESj ; KNpGfeED;taUT---PHOTOI BY GEORG& HALEY RAILWAY HANDLES BIG CROWD WELL Despite Many Specials No Acci dent Occurs Going to* or Coming From Reno , - "I can point with considerable pride to the excelldnt handling of.the-prlze fight- crowd to Reno by the Southern Pacific," said E. Calvin, vice presi dent and general manager 'of '-' y the Southern Pacific, in speaking yesterday of the train service .to Reno. . Calvin returned from a trip to^the .north yes terday morning and he/expressed'him self as very .much . pleased^, with' the service of the railroad company. . Nearly every San Francisco fight fan who journeyed to Reno Friday, Satur day and . Sunday i returned yesterday: Special and regular trains' with - fight enthusiasts' were arriving, at the ; Oak land pier all through the day, the first special ' arriving at 4 o'clock. .in- the morning. .. From that/hour . until. lat« in the" evening the . returning fans crowded the 'ferry boats. . There was practically. .no delay,, in..coming. across the mountains. As Boon_as one train reached a certain distance from Reno another was dispatched westward.'/,; The fans were all tired. Some be cause they were not fortunate enough to secure: berths and others because' of the h^at in the Sacramento valley. The world's championship contest was fought over and over many times on the trip, from Reno to San Francisco, and that discussion helped to kill time; There was not one accident either on the way to Reno or upon the return, and every -.official of the railroad com pany felt as proud of- the service •as did the vice president and general man« ager.

He said :that he knew then that Jeffries was at his' mercy. - • George Cotton- of Johnson's training; staff said: . ; , : "VvTien Jeffries and Johnson clinched in the eighth round, Jack: said to Jef-; fries: 'I've got -your measure, Mistah Jeffries, and I am going to put you out any time I want "to."

WILLIAM J. SLATTERY FALLEN IDOL GOES BACK TO FARM One Time Mammoth of Prize Ring Speeding Toward His A Haifa and* Peace f \u25a0:['--. COMING HERE TO SETTLE ' UP BUSINESS AFFAIRS Pall of Depression Is Spread Over Reno After Pathetic * Ending of Contest JOHNSON SPEEDS EAST TO APPEAR ON STAGS BATTLING NELSON [Special Diipalch lo The Call] RENO, July s.— Reno today looks more like a funeral procession than anything I can name. Yes terday it reminded one of Broadway, New York city, on an election day. Last night after the fight it was on© jam of humanity at the depots trying to get on the trains and get out of town. All night long the lobbies of the hotels and the trucks at the depots were loaded with sleeping humanity, who had checked out of the hotel ex pecting to get on an eastbound train. The efforts the white man made against the big black were pitiful, to say the least, and a more disappointed crowd at a ringside I never saw. Even though Jack Johnson showed such supremacy over Jeff there were very few Nevadans who felt sorry for the big boiler maker and they all left the rlns with remarks that were anything but complimentary to Jeff. Around the gambling resorts it wa3 common talk that 'any man who would; welch on a $3,000 gambling debt liko Jeff is accused of doing was treated to the right dose of medicine when tho bis black defeated "him so decidedly. The big hotels were the center of animated groups, while a maelstrom of people besieged the depot in an endeavor to get away from the scene of action. Train after train pulled out east and west and north and south, loaded to the guardrails. Never in the history of the Southern Pacific system was it called upon to move so many, people within a given time. All last night, all today, mammoth engines snorted and tugged, each train breaking away with its limit aboard, and .there .still remain several thou sand outsiders yet to start upon their homeward ways. And over them all, with a few possible exceptions, hangs a pall of depression, for what they came to see did not come up to their fond expectations. Jack Johnson, the champion heavy weight of the world, who traced hl3 ancestry back to slavery days, is speed ing eastward to Chicago in a special car surrounded by a bunch of admiring handlers. When the conqueror oC ! James J. Jeffries and Tommy Burns and all that line of heavies came out of that battle yesterday flushed with victory, for the first time in his life ho attempted to avoid the plaudits of the> populace. He sought his car by a roundabout route and -closed himselC up in his stateroom away from th« curious gaze of the multitude. Here tofore he has always sought admiration and icourted publicity. But once after that hour of triumph he sought seclu sion and thrust aside that proffered, admiration he always craved. \u25a0'James J. Jeffries, battle scarred and heart broken, passed a miserable night and a weary day at his training quar ters at Jioana. springs.' He retired there immediately after the contest, whera a weeping, wife welcomed a fallen! idol. The: meeting was pathetic in the ex treme. "Foor oltl Jim." sobbed Mrs. Jeffries as she clung about tho neck of tha bruised battler. "Are you hurt, babe, are you .hurt?" "Never mind, sweetheart, never mind. I did the best I" could, "but it was not in me. I could not come back." . And then the little woman led ttio battered hulk into a sitting room and. placed him ln-*an easy chair. .Doctors worked over him. admiring friends called. on him. only to be turned away, for thft one time mammoth of the prlza ring.- the greatest battler of his day wanted to be alone with his sorrow and his wife. They left ;him. Today a special car was arranged for and at 7:30 o'clock the Jeffries outfit broke camp^ and departed for Oakland. Jeff will remain some few days in Oak land and then it will be a case of back to the alfalfa farm for all time. ' No. there will bQ no. world's tour for the bear, man. He seeks the old farm and is very sorry he came out of re tirement. It will take the ratlroad3 out of th!» city at least three, days more to dispose of the crowds. And then Reno can'so on the even tenor, of its v way. It la doubtful whether another big battle will ever b<^ held in this state, for ad verse legislation •is even, now; beina: pressed, and it looks as if the end has come.- The end of the pugilistic game la this country is apparently in sight.
