JEFFRIES GOES
ABROAD TODAY
Eastern Sports Disguised
With Big Bruisers.

New York, Aug. 5.-That both JEFF
fries and Johnson are the most colossal
-four fushers" who ever figured in the
heavyweight limelight is the consen-
sus of opinion in boxing circles here
today Sporting men are thoroughly
disguised with the fashion IN which
both men have repeatedly made false
statements. and now that Jenries an

all hope seems gone of a face to face
encounter between the pair to arrange
for a bout
Jeffries starts for Carlsbad and will
be gone several weeks. He was loud
in his assertions. during his last the
atrical enga cement, that he intended to
meet Johnson in New York without
fail" Johnson only last week said
that he would proceed directly to New
York from Toronto and confront JET
fries before the latter sailed.
So far as can be learned, he has made
no effort to do so, and unless he started
for New York yesterday he cannot face
Jeffries before the latter sails-which
is probably just what he desires.
Jeffries announced today that he
would leave Sam Berger as his repre-
sentative and would abide by any
terms the latter made. Little attention
will be paid TO anything he says. how
ever. until he shows he means to keep
| his word.

gether when the season ended. In

The false rise" is delivered as

ADMITS WORKING THE FARMERS

Logan Observer: We hate to give
it away but there has been so much
said, individually and through the
papers regarding the preparing the
roads for the Glidden tourists that it
is perhaps just as we'll to let 20 Of
the facts in the case. You see we
have been pounding for q number Of
years about keeping the roads in good
order the year around, but there has
always been considerable neglect Of
this important matter. We believed
that the novelty of the Glidden tour
lists coming through this country would
serve as a spur to the improvement of
the highways and We were not mis-
taken. Without special object to
work, the roads would not hav e
been worked, but by reason Of the
tourists we had something to say
that appealed to the people. Had
we simply urged the road work for
the benefit Of the farmers them
selves they would have considered that
as they were the ones who used the
roads it was no one else's business
whether they were put in such condi-
ton that the report has gone out that
Harrison county had the best roads the
tourists found on the long trip. Thanks
are due to the board of supervisors,
the road superintendent and the
township trustees for the good work.
