 The taking of moving pictures in this camp resolved itself into howl ing farce. It looked more like a wine show than a heavyweight train ing for championship bout with Jeff, the hope of the white race" being pictured with friends, celebrities or we'll known sports, so that those not fortunate enough to be on the ground may know what things and being looked like at Moana a few hours before the fight.
 At every opportunity two contest ants for the championship honors hurled their combined six hundred pounds of avoirdupois into the very teeth of the camera, waving stand Why Jeff stood for it is more than any level headed person could under stand. They even went so far as to nail over the entrance to Jeffs cot tage an illuminating sign bearing the name of the wine. While the moving squad only were being taken the wine sign hung over Jeff's head. It is only fair to Jeff, however, to say that he refused to be photographed standing on the veranda of his cottage with this banner over his head.

 Johnson's Training Camp, Kicks Re- sort, Reno, New, July 2.-Betting on Mondays fight, which has been tight up to the present time despite the contrary reports, began to get brisk today Some indication of what the Johnson followers will do and where they stand on the betting was given out last night when crowd of Jacks admirers tried to bluff Bob Armstrong, Jeffries' duSky sparring partner, by offering to bet $1,000 on Johnson at 6 1-2 to 10.

 Things are pretty dull these days being enlivened only by strong un- dercurrent of excitement. Both men have knocked off work and Johnson does nothing but loaf and play the bass viol while Jeff fishes.
 Frank Gotch arrived at Jeffries' training camp last night but it is doubtful if he will assist the boiler maker in any way except by one or two short wrestling bouts.

 Jeffries' Training Camp, Reno, Nev., July 2.-Contrary to the popular be- lief there is nothing incongruous in the statement that James J. Jeffries will be in the best condition of his career when he enters the ring next Monday There is nothing miraculous about it and this trite expression has become an actual fact.
 The reason for any incongruity lies in the fact that retirement is com monly associated with old age. Jef- fries retirement came before he was 35 years old, before he reached the height of physical perfection to which some men come late. This is proved by the fact that Jeff is larger boned now than he was then and that he has developed in every manner.
 Jeff has not had to "come back' in the sense that he was a ''has been, but as a precution he has devoted a year and a half to preparation for a fight for which training would usually last only six weeks.
 Jeff will be faster Monday than in any previous fight. His whole system
