GILLETTE GETS IN GAME
GOVERNOR STIRRED TO ACTION
BY INsISTENT PROTESTS.
SPORTING Men Cast Down-Death knell
Believed To Be Sounded for Fight
ing In California.

San Francisco.-Stirred to action by
insistnt protests from all parts OF
the state. Gov. James N. Gillette took
steps Wednesday to prevent the cham
pionship fight between James J. JET
fries and Jack Johnson, scheduled to
be held in this city July a.
In a letter to Attorney General U.
S. Webb, the governor expressed his
disapproYal of prize fighting IN un-
measured terms and directs that the
aid of the courts be invoked to pre-
vent the match, and concludes with a
positive order that in case the plea
for a restraining order is not granted
and the fight is held, the attorney gen.
eral proceed to gather evidence and
prosecute the principals and those In
terested In the fight for violation OF
the penal code Of the state.
The letter declares the supreme
court Of California has defined
a priz fight and suggests an opportu-
nifty to indicate the governors inten-
ton to press his opposition to the end,
and while the status Of the Jeffries-
johnson fight is in an unsettled condi-
ton tonight, the sporting fraternity
is much East dow and it is generally
believed the death knell of prize fight
ing in California has been sounded.
