Temples Of Chance in
Every Half Block

RENO, July 2.-High noon and four
deep around the roulette and faro
tables--that is the situation in Reno
today. 1t is impossible for the visitor
from reform ridden cities where gam
bling is kept under a discreet cover to
venture half a block from his room
without stumbling across a green table
and pretty checker board and a
gentleman in shirt sleeves raking in all
the money in the crowd.
Drifting in and out of the temples
of chance there are quietly dressed
sporting men. businessmen on vaca-
tion, pale rat faced men from the
under world and the men that belong
to the hills and the desert-auiet and
keen, something of the mystery of the
sagebrush distances in their eyes, skin
of leather and broad hats covered with
white dust.
These are the contrasts of the new
metropolis, the mecca of sportdom and
the place of play interest to the
average man in every town from coast
to coast today.

few ARRESTS ARE
MADE in RENO
Despite the Crowds and Much
Drinking Police Keep Sifu-
alton Well i'm Hand

RENO, July Though hampered by
lack of experienced detectives famil-
lar with the faces and operating meth
ods of the crooks and criminals always
drawn to the scene of a big fight, the
officials In charge of the policing of
Reno said tonight they have the situa-
ton we'll in hand.
The normal strength of the local
force is only Is, but % specially de-
tailed men will have been added by to-
morrow night, and these. in addition
to 10 members of the state police, who
are here under the command of Cap
tain Cox, are expected to furnish ample
protection to residents and visitors un-
til the fight is over.
DETECTIVES WANTED
In discussing the situation tonight
Captain Cox expressed regret that de-
tectives had not been sent here from
San Francisco, other coast cities and
from Chicago.
I'VE know" he said, ''the class of
crooks who operate exclusively in this
territory and We can keep them under
strict surveillance. But it is the pick
pockets, stickup men, etc, from the
cities that we are especially concerned
about and we would be in a much. bet
ter position to cope with their activi-
ties if detectives from Chicago, San
Francisco, Portland and other large
places were here to cooperate with
US.
However, we are doing very well
and despite the nature of the crowds
and large amount of drinking there
has been surprisingly little trouble and
very few arrests. In five nights not
one case of burglary has been re-
ported"
POLICE CONFIDENT
The 10 men here with Captain Cox
are squad leaders who have been called
in from all parts of the state. It is
said of the Nevada state police, as Of
the celebrated Arizona rangers, that
every member is equal to 10 ordinary
officers of the law, and so, though lin
tied in numbers the Reno authorities
are fully confident that the states
guardsmen will be able to cope with
any emergency that may arise.
To guard the Pullman sleeping cars
parked In the railroad yards here and
in which a large number of fight fans
and tourists, who failed to find accom-
modations in the city, are sleeping, the
Southern Pacific railway has brought a
large force of special men. Each train
entering the city either from east or
west carries one or more railroad de-
tectives.

JEFF FASTER Than

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
RENO. New, July 2-The question
has often been asked me why I think
that JEFF is faster than ever, for If
you say he is you must give some good
reasons to convince your hearers. Now.
it is true that Jeff has been out of the
and this period of idleness figures to
have some i'll effects. However. 1
maintain that Jeff Is an exception for
these reasons First, he never reached
the height of his career when he re-
tired, and second, he was never trained
In his career as he-h been for this
fight.
You take his training. for instance
1t has been done on scientific prin-
ciples. No fighter ever received the
massaging and rubbing which JEFF has
undergone. 1t has been different from
the treatment most fighters receive.
The usual custom employed by rubbers
when they are handling a fighter is
TO work for the purpose of hardening
his muscles. Frequently a fighter be-
comes hide bound from rubbing. Al
cohol and arnica are used under this
system. 1 have employed a different
method In massaging Jeff. have
worked to make his muscles soft and
flexible. | have aroused those tissues
which have been dormant for years
They are soft and ready for action.
Oil has been used throughout. and
this has had a tendency to soften his
muscles and make him free and timber.
! am not saying that JEFF will be
soft. On the contrary. his flesh and
skin will be tough. Jeff's muscles have
been loosened UP in a manner which
will give him more freedom than he
ever possessed before. He will be
flexible and will prove that he is faster
than ever.

Brooks today. Where there were for

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
RENO July 2.-With Dick
Shevlin, millionaire graduate of
Yale, champion Jack johnson left
his training quarters at Rick,s
resort this morning and made a
visit TO the great arena.
After a thorough inspection. the
champion objected to the size of
the platform, which, according to
his idea, did not extend far
enough beyond the ropes. He
suggested that one or two feet
be added all around and talked
over the matter with Tex Rick
ard, who Immediately made ar
rangemenfs for the addition.
johnson said that the change
would be made for safety's sake
alone, and pointed out the danger
I'm the event of rushing against
the ropes. He expressed his
satisfaction with the arena out
side of this correction.
Work on the platform was be-
gun at once and by nightfaII the
addition of two feet outside of
the ropes WIS completed.

champion as fast as they could before
ne disappeared into the guarded re-
gions above for his rub down.
SMOKE IN HIGH SPIRITS
The champion never showed to better
advantage than today. He was all
smiles and fun every moment, and
seemed not the least bit affected by
the thought that the supreme struggle
OF his life was only a few hours away
He has. as he stated in his interview
an absolute confidence that knows no
fear, and as far as appearances go there
is not doubt in the world but that he
will step into the ring Monday after
noon in the sam spirit
1t is the opinion Of the majority Of
the fighters who have inspected the
champion closely that his condition
could not be improved upon, and tbat
If ever there was a man able TO lick
the great undefeated idol of the prize
ring he is the one. The members OF
Johnson's training squad have little to
say and that little is merely the cor
roboration of the champions state
ments concerning himself. Every man
has done his best to put the champion
at the top once and for all and there is
over the whole camp an air of calnness

most effort viii bring the desired re-
suit. From the champion down the
sentiment is the same. II have done my

QUESTIONS TO SOLVE
To those who have watched and
worked beside the big smoke with crit
ical eyes during all of his workouts
there are number of questions upon
which the outcome depends, and these
questions, despite the most expert opin-
ions, remain unanswered and will re-
main SO until theyi are decided by the
actual contest AS for johnson. the
problem Sits down to this: Is he pos
sessed of a strength, hitting power
equal to that of his rival? TO what
disadvantage is his lack of footwork? i?

To the sporting men who made the
trip to Moana Springs in the early
afternoon a restfuI scene was pre-
sented. On the lawn at the side Of
his white cottage sat Jeffries and his
cronies around a small table. The
fighter had on a, soft shirt and soft
cap rested carelessIy on the back of
his head. He was leaning over a hand
of cards. figuring how to win a few
cents from his opponents. When he
succeeded he was happy, and his laugh
rang cut so that the crowds hanging
over the fence marked private" smiled
in sympathy.
SCENE OF RESTFULNEss

spread its restful branches. From a
branch hung a cage with two pigeons.

To those who braved the sunshins
and the dust and the bumps in the road
and made their way to Rick's roadhouss
on the other side of town, another
scene of rest was shown, but it was
rest of a different kind. There was
much hilarfty and loud merriment here
and the sound of singing and tnstru-
mental music breaking out at odd times
proved that the black champion and his
crew were amusing themselves as
though the fight was year or and
they were away down south In Dixie
