After the wedding Mrs. Mcvickar-

There is really not so much dis

am younger than mine.

LACKED OLD-TIME
SNAP SAYS JEFF
Thinks Public VIII Be Content
Now to Let Him Alone
by JAMES J. JErFRIEs

RENO, July Al lost my fight this
afternoon because I did not have the
snap of youth 1 used to have. 1 be-
lieved in my own heart that all the
oldtime dash was there, but when 1
started to execute the speed and the
youthful steam were lacking. The
things l used to do were impossible.
For instance. l used to shoot in a right
hand body punch, sort Of a short
range blow that never failed me. When
tried it today the snap was not there
and it was only a love tap.
II suppose most of my trainers and
helpers will say that | did not box
enough. 1t wouldn't have made any
difference If l had SPARED a dozen
times more than / did. l simply was
not there, and that's all there is to 1t.
IT guess it's all my own fault. 1 was
getting along nicely and living peace
fully on my alfalfa farm, but when
they started calling for me and men
tioning me as the white mans hope"
l guess my pride got the better of my
Judgment. At that | worked long and
hard to condition myself, and l was
fit, as far as strength goes, but the
old necessary snap and dash, the will
ingness to tear in and crush were not
with me.
"Six years ago the result might have
been different. But now well,
guess the public will let me alone after

and Johnson fairly beamed commence.
The thirteenth showed rapid weaken
ing on Jeffries' part. Following Cor
belts advice, he stuck to the clinch
until he was forced away. Then he
received two lefts and a right upper
cut to the face.
After that johnson played with him.
Holding Jeffries with his right on the
shoulder, johnson fairly rained blows
to the face, and Jeffries wilted. He
continued to come on, however, with
his eye almost closed and his legs yield
ing. The crowd waited silently for the
fourteenth and watched hopelessly
when Jeffries walked into a left and
then failed to get his own lefts home.
The wonderful work of the negro never
was in better evidence than here. he
was simply unhittable.
How do you like 'em, Jim?" he
asked Of the sober and silent Jeffrtes
To the end of the round he conttn-
ued to deliver many of them.
johnson opened up his heavy battery
at the opening of the fatal round. 1t
seemed no great effort for him to finish
1t all.
There was only one side to it. Less
than an hour of fighting had served to
bring to an end the career Of the man
hitherto believed invincible and had
solved the thousand questions that
have been agitating the sporting world
since Johnson won the championship
belt from Tommy Burns.

BETTING ON BATTLE IN
LOS ANGELES Is LIGHT

Ten thousand dollars of the "stay-
at-home" money passed from the JEFF
fries to the johnson followers when
the black was declared the victor.
Despite the fact that the battle car
ried with it the undisputed title Of
champion the betting in Los Angeles
was very light and was not half the
total of the wagers made on several
less important mills.
Men who handle wagers here de-
clared that all of the big bettors were
at the ringside and that they had
taken their coin with them. The es-
innate of the totals in the betting
boxes after the winner was announced
is fixed at $4,000 or $4,000, and this
was all placed with Jeffries on the
long end at 10 to or 10 to Z, or at
even money that Johnson would an
swer the gong for the twentieth round.
The straight bet and this twenty
round wager were the principal
chances of the day and very little
money went into the mutual box on
the number of rounds.
Practically all Of the coin came in
small wagers and the average amount
of the individual bets was $40 to Sc or
81. The largest bet made during the
day was $1,000 to $500, with Jeffries to
win at the long price. This wager
was made with q Spring street tobac-
conist, who declared that it was the
biggest bet he had received.
The absence of the men who usually
place large wagers was not apparent
in the crowds which thronged about
the cigar stands at which bets were
made and where the returns were re-
ceived. All of them were packed and
the interest was SO general that 1t
seemed that there should have been
more wagering.
Several tobacco dealers in the south
eastern part of the city and the sa-
loon men in Vernon handled lot of
coin for colored men and woman who
were interested even more than the
men. Money was taken from the
Spring street betting stands to these
places to cover Johnson money at 10
to when the rush of colored coin
swamped the Caucasian contributions.

NIGHT IS HILARIOUS
At NEGRO'S CAMP
Champion Opens Wine for Crowd.
Wants to Go Back to His
Nanny

JOHNSON'S TRAINING CAMP,
RENO, July 4.-This was hilarious
night at the roadhouse where Jack
Johnson trained for his fight with
Jeffries. Business at the bar started
with a rush when Johnson, returning
from the arena with his newly ac-
quired fortune and laurels, ordered
wine for everybody in the resort.
johnson himself drank beer. Crowds
came out from the city to see the
champion, and they, too, spent freely.
Given an impetus by the winning of
about $4,000 by various members or the
camp, the games of chance did good
business.
There were also dancing and singing
and more dancing.
Johnson was the main attraction
when he was in evidence. AS he
planned to go to Chicago on a train
that left at 9:45 p. M, however, much
of his time was taken up in packing
up his goods.
Loud cheers greeted the negro when
he returned from the fight. He went
from the arena to his camp in an auto
mobile with Billy Delaney, his chief
adviser. The camp rushed out en-
masse to greet him. His wife was one
of the first to reach him. She had been
at the fight but had reached the resort
before her husband arrived.
WHITE WIFE Is JOYFUL
"Oh, Jack, I'm so glad you won,
she said.
Friends shouted, clapped their hands
and whistled. johnson grinned broad
ly, but said nothing to the throng on
the outside of the house. He walked
into the parlor, where another party
awaited him, and sitting down chatted
a few moments. Everybody wanted to
hear about the fight. Johnson refused
to take it seriously. He said he was
not hurt and there was nothing for
him to tell. When they asked him
questions he answered them, but al
together said very little regarding the
contest. Don't think I was scared at
any time" he said. II knew how it
was coming OUT
The negro's engagement in vaudeville
will open in New York on July II. He
will go to Chicago from here, and then
to New York. Already he has ac-
cepted theatrical engagements for five
weeks in advance, and has offers of
others. But he says he Is tired and
wants to go home.
II want to be with my NANNY, ="
said Johnson.
At his order a message was sent his
mother Immediately after the fight,
telling her the result.

JEFFRIES' PHYSICIAN SAYS
FORMER CHAM PIoN NOT HURT

RENO, July 4.-By DR.. w. S. Porter,
Jeffries physician:
aside from a badly bruised face
there is nothing seriously wrong with
Jeffries' condition after his bout of
today. The little cuts on his lip and
forehead will heal in a few days and
as soon as his discolored right eye
sheds the black and blue he will never
know he had been in a fight.
There is not mark on his body, his
heart action is not affected in the least
and except for the soreness in his face
he will feel just as good as ever to-
morrow"
