JEFFRIES ANXIOUS : TO SEE JOHNSON
 HERE TOMORROW
All Arrangements Completed for Appear ance of Worlds Champion at Smiths Theatre Tomorrow Night-Big De. mand for Seats.

Before leaving Pittsburg to-day fol the East James J. Jeffries said that ne sincerely hoped that Jack Johnson would keep his word and meet him at Smiths theatre. Bridgeport, to-mor- row. Thursday night. when Jeff and Sam Berger appear in a duplication of their six round bout at Pittsburg.
 ''If Johnson does net crawl and mind you I expect that he will despite his contrary statement. I will have some thing interesting to say to the public in Bridgeport and nothing would please me better than to have Johnson right there when I say it.
 'Now I am not much given to talk ing but if Johnson will keep his word and meet me at Bridgeport he and the public will hear something interesting.
 .'I never said that I hoped Ketchell would kill the negro I want to see no man killed and the newspapers have no right to print such talk and credit it to me. I do not know wheth- CT Ketchell is big enough to beat John son: I hope he is for he will simply save me the job. I would never have consented to return to the ring were it not that I could not bear to have this fellow Johnson going around the coun- try claiming that there <was no white man who could defeat him. There is at least one white man who can defeat him and he will find that out soon enough for him.
 There are many first class seats still to be had for the Jeffries boxing bout to-morrcw night but orders are com ing in rapidly and it behooves the pub lie of this city who desire to avail themselves of what perhaps will be their only chance of ever seeing Jeff fries in action to get busy now and get a corner on their seat otherwise they will regret it when they find that the seats are all gone.
 Manager Billy Hogan of the Strat- field A. C.. under whose auspices Jeff fries is coming here can be reached at his place of business in Wall street and he will attend to the ticket wants of the public. Seats are now on sale at Smiths theatre. There will be three bouts between local boys prior to the premier event of the evening.
 Jeffries will hold a reception on the stage after the contest and he will be glad to meet the public. Besides his boxing with Sam Berger he. will give an exhibition of bag punching that in itself is revelation. After his ap- pearance in Waterbury and Hartford, Jeffries starts west and by three weeks time he will be back in his native California mountains hard at the rug ged work that will put the finishing touches on his training for his engage ment with Jack Johnson.

SERVICE OF FORESTER
 NEEDED BY THE CITY

Bridgeport will soon need the ser vices of a forester if the complaints made by truckmen and other team sters are sounily based. Said a truck man this morning: 'On many streets the young trees have grown outward and branched downward until a. vehi- cle of any height cannot get within eight or nine feet of the sidewalk with out risk of the driver being swept from his seat. If the driver is spared the top of his wagon will be torn. The trees need trimming"

Pittsburg. June 16.-James J. Jeffries is gradually rounding into form and will whip Jack Johnson if the pair ever meet in the squared arena This to- day is the concensus of opinion of Pittsburg sporting writers who last night saw the big alfalfa farmer sparring six rounds with Sam Berger. Jeffs exhibition with his sparring partner while it lasted only six rounds was enough to give the spectators a. line on his condition and every one appeared pleased at the way in which the big pugilist carried himself during the short period he was in the ring.
 It seemed that Jeffries retained all his ability with the padded mitts and his showing was a revelation to local boxing fans.
 Once during the exhibition Jeffries forgot and stung Berger a. hard one in the stomach that made the big Cali fornian wince and grunt. When Jeff crawled through the ropes last night he uttered this statement: "Gentlemen. I cannot say anything more than the papers have said regarding my ap- preaching fight with Johnson, but when the time comes I will be there with the goods"
