Without a word she turned away from
him. Her only desire now was to
evade him, lest he should force her
out of her non-committal attitude. She
wanted to shield herself from further
pursuit.
She drew her glove over the ring.

come strictly within the provisions of
the state law
In statement issued today District
Attorney Fredericks said that he would
make the investigation, but indicated
his belief as previously expressed, that
the 10 round bouts brought off in this
city did not violate the law and that
there would be no ground for action to
prevent them.
Promoters of the Attell- Moran con-
test are going ahead with their plans
and are confident that there will be no
Interference. Manager T.sJ. McCarey
has invited Governor Gillett to have a
representative at the ringside to de-
termine for himself that the weekly
bouts witnessed here are boxing con-
tests purely and simply, with heavy
gloves and for "a brief number of rounds,
the referee being without authority to
render a decision and police at the
ringside indicating when bout should
be stopped to prevent possible injury
to a contestant.
Ring contests brought off at Vernon
Twenty rounds is usually the minimum
limit and occasionally As round affairs
are staged. No attempt will be made
to utilize the Vernon arena for some
time, and the first test of the states
right to interfere there will come next
September, when Tommy Burns and
Sam Langford are scheduled to clash
over the 25 round route.

and the way other fighters handle' it
are entirely different. jeff makes work
out of it. as he seems to fight the
sphere all the time. He kept up a
fusillade of blows on the bag for nine
minutes, when he complained of it be-
ing too low and had his trainers ad-
just it. Then he went at it again and
pelted away at it without stop for IL
minutes more
He then entered the gymnasium and
took up skipping the rope. He does
this exercise like a graceful schoolgirl
The big fellow is unusually light on
his feet and gets around like fast
lightweight. The wrist machine. pull
leys and chair exercise followed in
order. He was then rubbed for more
than half an hour.
Jeff declared that his wind was great
After he had finished his days stunts
he took one long breath and filled his
lungs with air, while his chest bu1ged
out several inches ''Ah, my wind is
great" he said as he released the air
from his lungs This satisfies me. The
old bellows are working in their old
form"
After he had finished his violent
work he never drew a long breath The
work seemed to be play to him and he
certainly looked ready.

Jeff does not look for an easy fight
nor do the majority of his trainers. but

up the colored fighter. The opinion
seems to be that the contest will go at

BUSINESSMEN JOIN IN
FINAL PLEA TO GILLETT

In a last mighty effort to have the
big Jeffries- Johnson ring battle take
place in the old Central park site, as
originally planned, the hotel and busi-
ness interests of the city, led by Kirk
Harris and Tom Dillon, are making a
last effo1 to have Mayor P. H. McCar-
thy agaS intercede and request Gov
ernor Gillett to recede from his position
in the matter.
a petition was started yesterday
among the merchants and businessmen
which is being signed by thousands
asking that Mayor Mccarthy represent
TO the governor that his action in stop
ping the fight is seriously hurting the
financial interests of the city, as well
as the state.
More than $500 names were secured
yesterday. It is generally understood
that the petitioners will seek to obtain
upward of 10000 names. E. c. Leffiing-
well, the mayors secretary, was notified
by the committee that as soon as a suf-
ficient number of names were obtained
the petition would be presented.
Kirk Harris states that no effort is
being made to obtain the names by the
work of professional petition circu-
lators. He says that the object of the
move is to indicate to Governor Gillett
that the substantial business interests
are opposed to his action, taken at a
time when the community had prepared
to care for thousands of visitors
In the petition it is pointed out that
through months of advertising the
world has been invited to come to this
coast and that thousands had made ar
rangements to visit other points of in
terest in California at the same time
The petition states that no matter
what action the governor might take
in regard to future contests, in fairness
to all the big fight should be allowed

CINDER TO settle
With GEO. LITTLE
Johnson Says That for Good of
Game He VIII Not Contest
the Suit

Johnson put in full day, and then
yesterday. The black champion was
! as eager for work as '.Murderous Doc
Furey is for watermelon, and his grin
was so eager to show his pleasure that
those golden 'tombstones" were scin-
tillating throughout the long, long day.
The champion was on the road with
the lark and a good IL miles were
reeled off before Jack came home again.
In order to consult with his attorneys
over the matter of settlement with
George Little, his deposed manager,
Johnson motored downtown and spent
the hour before lunch with the bar
risters Just what was the outcome
of the conference Johnson would not
say definitely. but he admitted that
they had finally arrived at a basis on
which settlement would be made.
Speaking of his trouble with Little,
and the. impending settlement, John
son said:
Under ordinary conditions I would
be inclined to go into the courts with
Little, as I am sure / could establish
my contentious and gain the verdict,
but I have decided that the quickest
way to get the whole matter out of
of the way is to settle and be done
with it. There has been so much talk
in connection with the big match that
1T gave the people opposed to boxing
contests chance to 'holler their heads
off. Some people have been trying
to make capital out of my trouble
with Little to injure the fight, so l
have decided, for the good of the game,
to bring the matter to a close at the
earliest possible date"
In the afternoon Johnson went
through the regular gymnasium stunts
and then donned the gloves for four
rounds each with Al Kaufman and
George Cotton. The bouts were both
fast and furnished plenty of action to
please the onlookers.
An interested spectator at the John
son quarters was John L. Sullivan, the
idol of fight followers of other days.
Sullivan and his old friend Billy De-
laney were close observers of the big
cinder's work and the two old cronies
regaled group of listeners with tales
of fights in the long ago when COVER
nors did not interfere and the idea of
100000 purse would have caused
any one mentioning it to be sent to a
haven for the feeble minded.
Johnson and his retainerS will do the
Arab stunt on Thursday when they
fold their tents, gather up their doll
clothes and beat it for the present hub
of the universe, Reno. The champion
will express his racing cars on the
same train. Tom Flanagan, the busi-
ness manager for black Jack, wired
secured fine training quarters for the
champion.
Johnson will put in his regular day
of labor today.
