Jack FriendsSpend A Share of The Money They
 Won
Champion Will Open in A Vaudeville Show In New York
 July II
By Associated Press.


 JoHNSON'S CAMP, RENO, New, July 4.-There is great hilarity to- night. Crowds came out from the city to see the champion and they spent money freely. The jollifea- ton was given impetus by the win ming of about s1O,OOO by the var ious members of the camp and the games of chance did good business. Also, there was dancing, singing, and more dancing.
 Johnson was the main attraction when he was in evidence. As he had planned to go to Chicago on the train. which left at 9:45 p. m., much of his time was taken up in pack ing up his goods.
 Some Domestic Scenes. /
 Loud cheers greeted the negro when he returned from the fight. His wife was one of the first to reach him. She mad been at the fight, but reached the resort before her hus- band arrived. "Oh, Jack; I'm so glad you won,' she said. ~
 Jeff knew nothing beyond the fact that he was beaten, and that object for which he had abandoned a quiet life, to defeat Jack Johnson, had not been accomplished. Mrs. lief fries arrived at the camp half an hour before her husband. She was weeping, but endeavored to restrain her sObs.
 When Jeffries' ear stopped in front of the cottage, she rushed out to him, and together they passed from sight through the door.
 "Don t think I was scared at any time," he said. CT knew how 1t was coming out
 Johnson's Engagements.
 The negro's engagement in vaude- vile will open in New York on July 11th. He will go to Chicago from here and then to New York Already he has accepted theaterieal engage ments for five weeks in advance. He has offers of others, but he says he is tired and wants to go home. ''I want to be with my Nanny" said Johnson.
 At his order a message was sent to his mother, immediately after the fight, telling her of the result"

JOHNSON SAYS HE NEVER WAS
 HURT
By Associated Press.
 By Jack Johnson.

RENO, New, July 4.-''I won from MT. Jeffries because I out classed him in every department of the fighting game. Before I entered the ring I was certain I would win. I never changed my mind at any time. Jeffries' blows had no steam behind them, so how could he hope to defeat me! With the exception of a slight cut on the lower lip, which was really caused by an old wound being struck, I am unmsrk- ed. I heard people at the ringside remark about the body blows being inflicted upon me. do not recall a single body punch that caused me any discomfort. I am in shape to battle again tomorrow if it were necessary. One thing I must give MT. Jeffries credit for, and that is the game battle he made. He came back at me with the heart of a true fighter. No man can say he did not do his best.
 fI believe we both fought fair ly. There was nothing said be- tween us which was rough. He joked me and I joked him. tolu him I knew he was a bear, but I was a gorilla, and would defeat him.
 "For the next few weeks I shall play vaudeville. Then I will go to my home in Chicago to rest. I do not think l shall fight for several months, because I do not know a man now who could give me a good battle. No attention will be paid by me to Sam Langford's challenge. do not consider ne could give me a fight that would draw"
Weekly journal-miner., 1910-07-06

these facts have been agreed upon. The fight was "on the square.' Of that there was no doubt after the first round There was no evidence or hint of the much-mOoted "yellow streak' in Johnson.
 Johnson proved himself so abso- lutely Jeffries' master that experts such as W. Corbett, the Australian writer and sporting expert, declared that Tommy Burns put up a better fight against Johnson and that the black man was only playing with his opponent.
 Jeffries Disconsolate.
 As soon as Jeffries regained his sense and poise after the rapid fire of events that had pushed him into oblivion, ne took his head in his hands and groaned, "I was too old to come back"
 Corbett and Choynski and Brother Jack were ready to cry, but they united in trying to cheer up the de- feated man.
 "It's all off with you,' Jim," said Corbett. "But you did the best you could"
 "Cheer up; we'll all go fishing to- morrow" said Frank Gotch, the champion.
 A Fallen Idol.
 In an instant after the crowd re- alized the fight was over, the ring was stampeded by the wild throng. The short-end bettors were hilarious but in the great mass of spectators, there was a feeling of personal loss. Hope had lived in thousands of breasts until the last minute, and now their idol had erumbled, and this black man stood peerless. They could not help but admire him, and there was little animosity shown to- ward him. For the most part the people were silent, and were read iusting things in their minds. Hun dreds swallowed the bitter pill and a heavy financial loss.
 Little enthusiasm was shown from anything until Jack Johnson and his crew were seen stringing down the aisle. Then the crowd stood up and cheered. as much from pent-up ex- as anything else.
 Men breathed deep and lifted their eyes in thankfulness to the amphi- theater of brown hills that surround ed this pit in the desert and the blue bowl of sky shutting out the rest of the world.
Weekly journal-miner., 1910-07-06

the big white giant went down, fol the first time in his ring career. He fell under the top rope, over the lower end, and onto the Overhanging plat form. Resting on his launches and right elbow, Jeffries looked around in dazed way, and got up at the count of nine.
 Is Again Floored.
 While he was down, Johnson stood almost over him, until Riekard waved him back. He stood ready to strike, and when Jeffries arose from his knees, dashed in again. Jeffries reeled about and tried to clinch, but Johnson eluded him, and as the old champion swung around to the south side of the ring, he jolted him twice on the jaw. Jeffries sank to his knees, weak and tired, but got up again at the count of nine. Then Jeffries' friends began to call Rick ard to stop the fight.
 "Stop it, stop it," they shouted from all sides. "Don't let him be knocked out
 Riekard gave no heed to these ap- peals.
 Jeffries was helpless now, and staggered to a standing position, but the negro was waiting for him. A left, right, and another left-short, snappy, powerful blows, found their mark on Jeffries' chin, and down he went, down for the third time.
 Third Time and oout.
 Again be sprawled over the lower ropes, hanging half outside the ring. The timekeeper raised and lowered his arms, tOlling off the seconds. He had reached the count of seven when some of Jeffries' seconds put a foot inside the ropes, and Riekard walked between the fallen man and the negro champion. Placing his hand on Johnson's shoulder, he de- clared nim a winner. While Jeffries was not counted out, this was mere ly a technical evasion. It was evi- dent he could never have gotten up inside of ten seconds.

JEFF ADMITSHIS STEAM IS
 GONE
By Associated Press.
 By James J. Jeffries.

By James J. Jeffries.
 RENO, New, July 4.-''I lost my fight because I did not have the snap of youth I used to have. I be- lieved in my heart that all the old time dash was there, but when I started to execute, the speed and the youthful steam was lacking. Things used to do were impossible. For instance, when I used to shoot in a right hand body punch, it was a sort of a short range blow that never used to fail me. When I tried it today the snap was not there and it was only a love tap.
 "I suppose most of my trainers and helpers will say that I did not box often enough. It would not have made any difference if I had spared a dozen more times than I did. I simply was not there, and that's all there is to it. I guess
