Day Bids Fair to Be
One Scorcher

This last day before the fight will
be remembered in Reno for many a
long year. At break of day the sky
was gray and all during the morning
black storm clouds were adrift in the
hills, but as the day wore on the wind
cleared the sky and the foothills were
motled with the gold of the sunlight
and the blue-black of the cloud
shadows.
will it rain7 Will il be cold to-
morrow" asked the strangers. And
the natives answered that In all prob
ability the arena would be so hot that
the melting pitch would glue the spec
tators to their seats.
Despite the threatening weather. the
roads to the lighters camps were dot
ted with vehicles OF every description.
Buses carried scores of the humble
out to the Johnson Headquarters,
struggling for right of way with auto
mobiles filed with gay groups OF
sporting men and others bearing the
stamp OF wealth in their clothes.
The San Francisco call., 1910-07-04

an abnormal to beat. Besides, the
black man does not usually win in a
hurry. He is the greatest defensive
fighter now in the ring. And he never
forgets to utilize every particle of his
cleverness in his fighting. This would
necessarily indicate a long, careful bat
tie if Johnson wins.
JOHNSON'S YELLOW STREAK.
One other point. Has Johnson a yell
low streak and is he the dog that some
people insist upon saying he is?
True enough he has loafed a good
deal during his checkered fighting ca
reer but when has he ever quit cold?
He has never been hit hard enough to
demonstrate that his anatomy har-
bored q dash of orange color. He has
never bled lemonade. Those who ad-
vance the yellow streak theory used
negative arguments. They say John
son would lay down If he were hit
hard enough, but he has never been
hit in the right place yet. This is like
telling a man who has no sister that his
sister would like gumdrops If he had a
sister.
Again they say Johnson must be a
dog because he's colored. Did George
Dixon or Joe Cans ever dog It? Why
can't they be taken as examples of
fighting men as well as other black
lighters of a lower order. No man
should be branded with the failings of
his race until he has exhibited these
fAilngs himself. There is no trait that
is absolutely universal in any one race.
MERE OPINION ADVANCED
These arguments, although logical,
may prove to be wrong. l have writ
ten them because believe in them, and
no more can be expected I am not
asking anybody to bet any money on
my word. You can do as you choose
about that. The sporting editor has
asked me to tell you what was on my
mind. and this I have tried to do with
my meager supply of rhetorical genius.
feel that 1 will not have to put on a
beard If Jeff wins. Slate reading is
not my business.
It was learned from good authority
that Governor Gillett of California will
make a definite statement after the
fight. 1t is expected that there will be
a startling revelation when he gives
his reason for stopping the fight
The odds still remain at the distorted
price of 10 to 615. On account of the
fact that many of the wise ones are
getting down on Jeff at this price, the
skeptics think they must have an ace
in the hole Apparently, everything
looks square and above board

.KETCHEL OUSTED
FROM JEFF CAMP
Michigan Lions Presence Re-
senfed and Farmer Burns
Orders Stanley Out
Especial Dispatch to The Call

RENO. New. July 3.-StanIey Ketchel.
the middle weight champion. was eject
ed from Jeff's camp today by the big
fellow, and the move on the part of the
alfalfa king was not approved by those
who witnessed the election.
JEFF was probably spurred on to oust
ketchel by suggestions of a number OF
leeches who have been around him
since he went into training Ketchel
was about the cottage with a camera
in his arms taking pictures OF the sur
roundings when he was espied by some
of Jeff's friends. who got the big fel-
lows ear and then poured some talk
into it. JEFF called his man. Farmer
Burns. to oust Ketchel and his friends.
The Farmer acted according TO the in
structionS OF his chief and endaavored
to GUST Ketchel by force.
Burns tried to bully KetcheI but the
latter was cool and demonstrated with
the Farmer to be careful.
See here" said Ketchel "if Mr.. JEFF
fries wants me TO leave these grounds
will do so, but I will warn you not to
put your hands on me-"
The Farmer cooled down a bit and
Ketchel walked from the inclosure.
Burns then ordered two of Ketchers
friends who were with him out of the
place. B. +. Dickinson, a stockman from
missouri, who came all the way here to
see the battle, and Walter Levy. a San
Francisco travelling man, were the two
elected.
Il know that l would not treat Mr..
Jeffries that way If he ever visited my
training resort while I was preparing
for battle" said Ketchel after the af-
fair was over. II have never done any
thing to JEFF. 1 picked Johnson to win,
and that is my honest Judgment, and
can not see how a man can be so mar
row minded as TO allow it to make him
sore IL seems 10 me that this can be
the only reason for JEFF acting like he
did today. IL had known that my pres
ence annoyed him 1 would have kept
