Big FIGHT RESULT
BATTLES JOE CANS
Former Lightweight Cham
piOn Unable to Pick Victor.

Prescott, Ariz.. June 30.-In an interview
about the big night. Joe Cans said:
think the fight VIII be a tough one, and
III is a question who will be the victor.
l have been in the game for many years.
yet I do not feel that I can name the
winner. Many experts have visited both
camps and reported the condition of
both excellent. In fact. it is claimed by
them that they are perfect. Both men
have gone through arduous training and
have made ring history
Jefries, while in the ring. was one of
the greatest fighters that ever performed
in the squared circle. None can tell
whether he has retrogTaded or whether
he is the Jeffries of old Without a
doubt, Johnson, holding the heavyweight
title. must naturally be recognized as a
fighter of no small caliber. He is one
of the cleverest boxers in the ring to-day,
as fast and shifty as was Corbett, and
that he has a punch is shown by the
fact ne has gradually worked his way
10 the top and won universal recommen-
dalton from the fight fans.
The battle may end in a punch OF 1t
may be a grueling contest covering
many rounds. AS for myself, I have
known of great many heavyweight
contests, namely. Corbett and Sullivan,
Fitzsimmons and Corbett, Jeffries and
Fitzsimmons. Rubin and Jeffries, and
others. Many of these contests I have
seen and been able to pick my man, but
not so with this one. Jeffries has been
out of the ring nearly six years. and the
foremost question is Has he that same
stamina YETI" That is the big question
in the minds of all sporting men of
to-day.

johnson Gets Angry.
Those who court hysteria from the incl
dent OF a pugilists wrath rolled a choice
morsel under their tongues this morning
when the negro champion ordered Joe
Woodman. manager for sam Langford
to leave the training quarters at Kicks
Road House.
The fact that for two days a private
detective, who had secured a deputy
marshals badge from the sheriff OF
Washoe County, has sat near the gate at
Johnsons quarters with a six-shooter
in melodramatic fashion about
his waist, added jest 10 the Punishment
Of WoOdman. For. so the sObbing broth
erhood telegraphed to its editors. there
was every chance that the election OF
WOodman might not have been accom-
plished without some shooting
WOodman is not personally appreciated
by Johnson because he has the habit OF
about the country and saving
that his man Langford can lick Johnson,
If the latter would only dare to try him.
Therefore, when Woodman appeared at
the colored fighters training quarters this
morning Johnson sent word to his pic
turesquely- armed detective to hand Wood
man the bounce.
The manager refused 20 believe that
any private detective who wore a gun
outside of his shirt was competent to
put him off Of any particular piece of
territory. The detective so reported TO
the champion. and he straightaway arose
from his couch, where he was getting
rubbed down. put on a bathrobe, and
went down to interview Woodman.
He told WOOdman TO get away. and
Woodman went, but not before he had
been photographed, Johnson had been
photographed, and the detective with
the iron scenery had posed In three differ
ent positions. Afterward one more zeal
Gus photographer took a photograph of
the lower step of the clubhouse porch
upon which Woodman had stood.

GOVERNOR OF NEVADA
IS TO MAKE A SPEECH
Will Be an Added Attraction to the Big Battle at
Reno on July l.

Reno, June 30.-Promoters Richard and
Gleason have altered their determination
not to have any preliminary attraction
to hold the arena In patience pending the
appearance of Jeffries and johnson on the
day Of the fight,
Gov. DickeTsOn, of Nevada, yielding 10
the request OF Richard, will be the pre-
liminary all by himself.
No official word OF this establishment
OF the July 4 programme has been al
lowed to escape from the lips of either
Richard or Gleason. who dropped into
town from San Francisco to-day.
This is because the twin fnanciers are
holding a pleasant attraction in surprise
for the thousands who will sit on the
pine next Monday.
Governor to IndOrse.
But one of the underground pipe lines
which lead from Richard through all the
sporting territory about the Golden Hotel
sprung a leak this morning, and here is
the arrangement by which the apogee
OF pugilism is to be given the official in
dorsement of the governor of the SOW
ereign State Of Nevada.
When all the thousands ara seated and
the tension of expectancy is greatest,
Richard will escort Gov. Dickerson to
the roped square in the center of the
tremendous coliseum, and will introduce
him TO the assembled multitude as the
governor who has had the courage to see
that the law of Nevada does not bend
before protests from other States Rick
ard viii then invite the spectators TO
contemplate a square man and good fell
low, who knows the law as 1t is written
and who has done his duty as he saw it.
The private source of information which
vouched for this interesting piece of Cos
sip to-day has il that thereupon Gov.
Dickerson will deliver a brief speech. in
which he will tell about the glorious
freedom that is enjoyed In the State Of
Nevada, how people IN Nevada consider
the question Of individual liberty. and
how he thinks that an exhibition such
as that which is about 10 follow does
not in any way transcend the bounds Of
morality and should not shock the deli
cate sensibilities Of people who live in
a more effete section of the country east
of the glorious Washoe range.
It viii be great speech, says this con-
hdant OF Richards. Gov. Dickerson was

in the thrilling event of July could
be obtained from him.
White on the Scene.
The heaviest breeze that blew through
the corridors of Golden Hotel this morn
ing was that which bore Deputy Referee
Charlie White. Of New York. on its
wings
Mr.. White arrived on the 9.55 train
from the East. and he was met at the
station by Richard, who told him OF his
selection as deputy referee for the fight,
as it had been agreed at last nights con-
ference between Rickard and the JEFF
fries-Johnson managers.
When White had heard of the honor
thus bestowed upon him he said for pub
lcation:
Il am pleased to have been accepted
by both Jeffries and Johnson. their
managers. and Mr. Richard to fiji the
position Of assistant referee. I consider
