FRIENDS OF JEFFRIEs SORE
No Yellow Streak in johnson
Is Opinion of Fight
Fans.


Reno, July Reno is busy dis
gorging the fighting crowds today.
The getaway began 40 minutes after
Jeffries went through the ropes yes
terday and trains in quick succession
followed one another out of the city
with every car packed to capacity. All
evening and into the early hours, au-
tomobiles swept out bound for the
coast and California valley cities. for
mining camps far out in the Nevada
desert and places more remote. The
fight OF course, was still the one sub
Ject of conversation. Jeffries deci-
siVe, unqualified and thoroughly whip
ped, seems the personal sorrow to the
men of the sporting world. The ring
followers agree that no man now in
the game is up to the job of whipping
Johnson. Little attention is paid
LangfOrd's challenge and the black
champion himself regards it as a joke
The estimates of attendance at the
fight and reports are mere guesses,
but the gate receipts must be betweeS
$250,000 and $270,000 Between 49,
600 and 10000 persons saw the fight.
In all the fight talk, one thing
stands out sharply; there is no more
mention of Johnsons yellow streak.
Experts at the ringside agree in say
ing that not once did he give any in
dication Of fear His statement given
out last night had been well thought
out, but his remarks as he stepped
back to the corner after Jeffries was
battered down were spontaneous, and
show his state of mind when the heat
of battle was upon him. "Jeffries
never could hit me- Johnson said.
He couldn't penetrate my defense,
have always known this and he has
just found it out. When he crouched
| made him straighten up, and then |
pecked him TO pieces I used every
thing there is in pugilism on Jeffries
and he couldn't stand the strain
Jeffries people had little to say. They
are too sore, hurt and disappointed
1T was simply the cd story of the
pitcher and the well--Once too often,
said jim Corbett. AS soon as Jeffries
had boxed two rounds today, | knew
he had nothing. 1t was only his cOur
age and condition that kept him there
so long" True to his character. the

today from the gaze of visitors. A
few of his old friends faithful in the
hour of defeat, remained around him
but interest in him is gone in the
main. Johnson's departure from Reno
was delayed until almost 10 oclocR
this morning by tieup of railroad
trains. The party was due to arrive
in Chicago on Thursday afternoon
Jeffries reiterated his purpose of de
parting for his home in California as
soon as arrangements are perfected
