The Cropping Begins.


For nearly forty-eight hours Grimble-

Then a shreWd countryman who had
been giving his time to mental processes
asked:
.'Hain't the story O. that telephone a

This was at Bickford's store. where
substantial Lanceboro foregathered daily
to await the opening of the evening mail

And still the Jeffries agitation con-
tinues.
The flow OF talk has by no means
diminished because the big fellow has
been In San Francisco u week. There
1s just as mucn interest over the prob.
lem OF whether he will return to the
ring as there was when the theatre.
cal proposition was first broached, All
over the country 1t is the same way.
People are figuring out. or trying to tig-
ure out. ju6s where Jeffries stands
and what he will do when the tims
comes to do something.
1t Is worthy OF note, perhaps. that
Jeffrles has refused steadfastly to
make any statements from the stage
that would ~ the least explain his at
titude. From the very first perform
ance, when the demand was strong
for speech from Jeffries, he has
avoided the pitfalls. He has, indeed,
made short talk but It has always
been on foreign subject and with
not the slightest reference to whethe-
or no he would come back and fight
Can 1t be, as one writer has said
that Jeffries may have absolutely no
Intention of fighting again, but that he
= is allowing the rumors to gain circu-
lation for the sake of advertising his
theatrical tour? II so, Jeffries is play
ing deeper game than many give
linn credit foI.
1t will be recalled that at no time
has Jeffries said that he would fight.
In fact until his arrival In San Fran
cisco he positively said no" when
the question was put to him Once
IN San Francisco. the inferences came
First OF all, when asked about his re.
turn. he said there was nothing TO 1t.

Is JeffrieS Afraid of

but winked to friend as II to say that
possibly he didn't mean all he said
Later too, he changed his positive
denial to conditional statement. In
which he declared, Il don't think
Will ever fight again, but II l should"
etc.
Then JenrieS stepped aside and let
the newspapers men and the world at
large draw their own differences. With
one accord 1t was proclaimed that JEFF
fries would doubtless be induced to
get after Jack johnson. So far he has
not seen fit TO deny these statements.

He has certainly left himself a pret-
ty loophole ont OF which he can es.
cape, should he so desire, and leave
the other fellow holding the bag.
That there are many who believe
that Jeffrics Will never come back Is
evidenced by the following letter,
which is only one OF many:
Il believe yoa fellows who are pre-.
dieting that Jeff will fight again are all
wrong. Why should he? He has all
the money he needs he has a good
business. and he takes life easy. He
is not overfond OF the limelight. On
the contrary, he is honestly bored by
peoples attempt to iionize him. He is
the undiSputed worlds champion
What the dickens could he gain by
fighting again2 have heard him de-
clare so earnestly and so emphatically
against re-entering the ring that can
not doubt he meant 1t, and still means
It, Personally hope he will not fight
again. If he does. he is very likely to
get licking, which would be a great
pity"
The hope that Jeffrios would declare
himself in San Francisco before leay-
ing to complete his theatrical tour,
has apparently died away. A major
ity of his fr!onds have come to the
conclusion that If Jeffries Is disposed
TO return to the arena, that he is sim
cere when he gays he wants to find
out his exact condition before making
any announcements. That will take
time, and 1t may be that he plans to

MET
IN HONOR OF THEIR BELOVED
POET, "eOesY" BURNS.
Hon. B. II. Roberts Delivers Grafton
That Calls Forth Applause
Other Numbers Given.

The Scottish Cronies and their
many friends of Ogden last evening
most elegantly ana interestingly cele-
brated the one hundred and fiftieth
anniversary of the birth of the world
famed poet of Scotland, Robert Burns.
The celebration was held at the Con-
gress Dancing academy, which was
we'll filled with Cronies and invited
guests.
The evenings entertainment con-
sisted OF program of singing. speech
making recitations and dancing.
Chairman Robert II. Moyes acted as
master Of ceremonies and /. f. Film
ders acted as floor manager The ora
tion Of the evening was delivered by
the Hon. B. H Roberts of Salt Lake.
The subject of the oration was Robert
Burns. and well did the speaker treat
the subject. He spoke of Robert Burns
as the poet of the common people and
one who had done much to inspire the
hopes and frame the impulses OF man
kind to higher and better life. Mr.
Roberts stated that Robert Burns did
not belong to the Scottish people, but
that he had grown into an internation4
al character until today he Is claimed
by the entire Anglo-Saxon world.
The remarks of the speaker were
confined principally to the character"
of the much beloved poet, depicting In
him the man of high and most prais-
worthy ideals In religious, political
and civic life. He pronounced Burns
the man of integrity. honesty. un-
swervingly against aristocracy, speak
ing at all times for the masses Of the
people. Scotland was congratulated
In the production of Burns. Roberts
forcefully conveyed the idea that all
the world has great reason to share
In the honor. Mr.. Roberts oration
was masterpiece and 1t touched a
responsive chord with the large gath
ering Of people who listened to It.
The Grafton was applauded at frequent
intervals during Its rendition.
After the regular program of exer-
cises had been given the happy gath
ering of people indulged in the dance
and the small hours of the morning
had dawned before the dancing was
over.
The program given was as follows:

es, chairman.

wait until his twenty weeks on the
stage are complete before he declares
definitely.
In the meantime, what about Jack
Johnson? This is one of the few In
stances in the pugilistic game where
the champion has been given no con-
slderation. Apparently no one has con-
sidered Johnson and his demands. IL
has been taken for granted that John
son Is so anxious for q fight with
Jeffries that he would accept any fin
ancial proposition that was offered to
him. He has been passed byi unnot-
Iced while the $4,000 guarantees
have been flung at the Southern Cali
fornian, Possibly the promoters have
figured that johnson would be glad of
$4,000 for his cnd
II the writer mistakes not, Sam FitZ-
patrick viii nave word to say before

Texas champion knows by actual eS-
perience the worth OF q champion and
how difficult 1t Is TO land one. Nor
Will he be inclined to throw away that
title or take u chance with 1t for Il
mere song.
Suppose that Johnson should win
from Jeffries. Save for theatrical en-
Gagements, he would be In no better
position than he stands today. In fact,
his chances of getting matches where
comes the big money would be meas
urably less.
Defeated, he would lose his pres
ent drawing value on the vaudeville
stage and would not be sought by fight
promoters who are after matches.
Fitzpatrick Is shrewd enough to say
little or nothing at the present. but
when 1t comes time to talk, he will be
on hand with his demands, and If JEFF
fries should agree to match. the col
ored boy will be getting his share, or
there will be no fight.
