Crowd Training Camp,

Reno, New, June 25.-Who brought
John L. Sullivan and James j. JEFF
fries together?
A vociferous chorus Of Il did" from
perhaps a dozen lusty threats would
greet that query, were ii ~propounded
in the presence of all who tonight
are posing as the original peacemak-
ers, but John l.. S%ullivan's old trainar,
William Muldoon, is regarded as the
man chiefly responsible for reunirtng
the bonds of amity of the amous eX-
champions.
Sullivans' return visit to Jeffries
camp was made today and the friend
" reception given him both by Cor
bett and Jeffries was not unexpected.
"Gentleman' Jim was conveniently
on hand when Sullivan's automobile
drew up. Il guess everything is all
right now" said the old fighter as he
grasped Corbett's outstretched hand
Sure" was the quick reply. And as
they stood chatting together a Dat
terry of cameras trained upon the pair
by PHOTOGRAPHERS opened
fire.
Muldoon, coming up accompanied
Corbett and sullivan into the rubbing
room where Jeffries was stretched on
a slab. The big fellow held out his
hand in welcome II John l.. shook
it warmly, as he cried, Hello, young
fellow. By heavens, you're looking
great
And I'm feeling great" Jeffries
told him. Then for a quarter of an
hour they talked about battles OF IA
bygone day after which with another
handshake all around Sullivan return
ed to Reno.
Crowds thronged both training
camps today. Jeffries after light
work in the morning called for his
fishing rod and. having secured a IL
cense started forth to investigate rne
trout streams and lakes about Reno.
Jack johnson worked hard. Sew
eral miles on the road and nine
rounds of boxing in a b~roiling sun,
not to speak of bag punchin- and
medicine ball play, constituted the
champions initial grind in his new
camp. He finished, breathing easily
and apparently in fine fettle. The al
titude did not seem to affect HIM IN
any way.
An accident married his afternoon
program. Driven by a terrific blow
from the champion the punching bag
broke from its moOring II struck
Ben Benjamin. a San Francisco sport
ing writer full in the face breaking
his GLASSES anu Cullll6 liz 1850
slightly under his eye. Johnson ex-
pressed much regret over the mishap.
AL Kaufman, George Cotton ana
Dave Mills were Johnson's sparring
partners today and that trio is cX-
pected to work with the champion
daily until next Saturday when it is
said he will cease active training.
Preparations for the fight advanc-
ed steadily today. A large consign-
,,a,4 &c I,v,Ior ,a p,a in from the
mills at Verdi seven miles away, and
considerable progress was made on
the work of building the arena. There
is no dearth of either labor or mater
ial here and as many Workmen as
can be used will be kept on the Job
until the huge structure is completed
The contractors promised Richard 10
night to ave Che arena finlsheo IN
every detail and ready for use by July
2. They say that. if necessary, the
work probably could be accomplish
ed in q day less than the time limit.
Sheriff c. p. Terrell che
appointment of two local physicians
to act for the county in examining
the fight principals ten hours before
they enter the ring, a requirement
stipulated by the state law.
Ample police protection, 1t IS sald'
will be afforded by the authorities
from now until the fight is over ana
Reno recovers from its excitement.
Advices have been received that SIX
members of the state police, an or
ganization somewhat similar to the
Arizona rangers, will arrive from Car
son City tomorrow in charge of Lieu
tenant Cahlen. They will work in
conjunction with the sheriff's deputies
and the city's force of patrolmen in
preserving order until after the
fourth.
According to Tex Richard, seldom
in the history of big fights in Nevada
has adequate precautions been taHen
to provide relief to persons likely to
be injured or taken i'll at the ring
side. But Reno intends to make all
necessary provision for emergency
cases. A temporary receiving hospit-
al win be put up near the site of the
arena. and the sheriff states that re
Will appoint twelve Of the city's lead
ing physicians To serve under the BAN
ner of the Red Cross On the day OF
the battle. Three physicians will be
stationed in various parts OF the
arena. The city's patrol wagon VIII
be pressed into service as an ambu-
lance.
Jack G~leason's visit to Reno today
was for the purpose of conferrlns
with Richard regarding the pictures
and to inspect the work being done on
the arena. Following his
ment that no certificates for seats
would be redeemed after next We'd
nesday afternoon at 3 O'Clock Gleason
was besieged with a storm of queries
He explained that all who wished TO
ANGEL their certificates must notify
the promoters through the San Fran
cisco bank before the hour named
otherwise il would be inferred that
redemption was not intended
of certificates may exchange them for
