made soon or some definite action is
taken there is a possibility that jeff
may not be in as good condition as if
nothing had come up.
jeff practically loafed again today.
He did nothing in the morning but
stroll about the grounds with rifle in
his hand shooting gophers. In a talk
with his friend, -Alvie King, jeff said
he would not be worried if the pro-
moters were forced to take the fight
into Nevada.
THAT high altitude will not affect
me as much as 1t will the other fell
low" declared jeff. "You know 1 have
been dwelling around these mountains
for a long time and 1 am right at home
in them"
jeff went on the road this afternoon.
He took another trip to Mount Ben
Lomond and was accompanied by his
brother Jack, Joe Choynski, Roger Cor
nell, Farmer Burns and David Levi
sohn.
Corbett left for the city this after
noon but said that he would return in
time to fill his sparring exhibition date
scheduled at the Santa Cruz casino on
Sunday.
jeff and all the trainers have packed
and are ready to move. Arrangements
are being made to secure a training
camp in or around Reno.
Manager Sam Berger phoned JEFF
fries a message tonight notifying him
to pack and be ready to start for
Reno on short notice. The game was
up, said Berger over the phone, and
there was no chance of the governor
changing his attitude.
Jeff said tonight that he would give
his sparrfng exhibition with Corbett
at Santa Cruz Sunday night and then
leave that evening for Reno, going by
way of Santa Cruz, Pajaro and Sacra-
mento. The other members of his
training staff probably will follow
early Monday

where he will go into training imme-
diately if a move is necessary.
Manager Sam Berger made a hasty
trip to the city last night and returned
early this morning.
Berger informed Jeff that it was
practically up with the fight so far as
San Francisco was concerned. They
are still hanging to a thread, hoping
against hope that something will
come up that will cause the governor
to recede from his present stand.
Jeffries' statement came when he
learned that Governor Gillett had or
dered the militia out to stop the Lang
ford Kaufman fight in San Francisco
tomorrow. He was very sorry at first,
and declared that the press could not
go too strong for him in criticism g
Governor Gillett. Afterward Jeff was
tempered down by his diplomatic wife,
who realized that a rash statement at
this time might be a bad move, took
the big fellow in hand and gave him
his cue.
Corbett still thinks that there is a
faint chance and does not want to do
or say anything that might interfere
with it.
BERGER STILL HOPES
Berger said that things looked bad
for the fight being held July 4. but he
maintained that if Governor Gillett al
lowed the case to be tried in court,
strictly on its merit, the battle would
come off as per schedule. But, on the
other hand, he maintained if the states
executive continues to use every tech
nical weapon then 1t will force the
promoters to take the fight to another
state.
Everybody connected with Jeffries'
camp is making guarded statements so
as not to say anything that might Of
fend Governor Gillett.
The troubles that the promoters are
having with the governor again upset
Jeffs training, and unless a change Is

Small Hope for Life of
State League

FRESNO, June 17.-Local baseball
men today express but little hope that
the California league will be in exist
ence after the present week. President
Frank Shuck makes no secret of the
fact that he is thoroughly discouraged
and that he is ready to give UP the
local franchise should any one be found
willing to take it.
The players, who on Monday last
served notice on Chuck that unless
their salaries were forthcoming on
Wednesday they would refuse to play
Fresno any longer, have as yet not re-
cefved their money, though they have
announced through Manager McDon-
ough that they will stretch a point and
play out the series which begins in
Fresno tomorrow against San Jose.
The Denver club, to which organtza-
tion McDonough belonged before he
came to Fresno, is after him.

TORRID DEDICATION IN
STORE FOR BLOTS ARENA

Louis Blot's colossal arena at Eighth
and Howard streets promises to be the
scene of a rather lively, torrid dedica-
tion this afternoon. The man whose
name it bears boldly shouted to the
world last night that he will dedicate 1t
with the 20 round boxing contest be-
tween Al Kaufman of San Francisco
and Sam Langford, colored, of Boston.
Governor Gillett promises to have the
state militia dedicate the place. Chief
of Police Martin believes that the dedi-
cation ceremonies will be conducted by
some of the members of his staff. Dis
trict Attorney Fickert lives in hopes
that he and few of his associates also
will figure prominently in the affair.
The general impression all over the
city is that neither of the principals
will step into the ring. Late last night
Kaufman announced that he would re-
port at the arena, but that he would
not climb within the ropes unless he
felt positively certain that there would
be no interference on the part of the
officers of the law. His manager, Bob
Deady, takes like view of it, =
So far as is known, the two prelim-
inary fights will be allowed to proceed
without interruption. These are both
six round affairs. The first is to be be-
tween Charles Rogers and Kid Quinn.
Steve Douglas will be the referee. He
announced last night that he would be
there to do his duty, even If he has to
go to jail. The fighters also declare
that they will go on, though there is a
chance that they will weaken at the
last minute.
Il have completed all my plans and
I will carry them through as far as
can" said Blot last evening. My at
torneys, Dorm, Dorm & Savage, have
been working on this case all day long
and / am acting under their instruc-
tions If the fight is interfered with,
then l will take the case to the courts
without further ceremony. l want
quick action in this case.
MY attorneys have promised me that
they will be able to get decision by
the court by next Tuesday afternoon
at the latest. This means that we will
then know whether or not boxing con-
tests will hereafter be permitted in the
state of California / believe that ]
will win my case. Anyhow, / will be
game to the finish and die with my
boots on
Neither Kaufman nor his manager,
BODY Deady, take such a cheerful view
of the situation as does Blot Both
of them looked rather sullen and sad
last night, and they have good reason.
There will be no fat purse in sight. 1t
goes without saying that this contest
does not figure to draw out record
breaking crowd, for nobody knows what
is going to happen.
Joe Woodman, Langford's manager
takes practically the same view of the
situation as does Kaufman. He an
nounced last night that he will have

Jeff Thinks Politics Is Mixed Up With Governor GiletS
Orders Forbiddng Promoters to Hold Fight Here

JEFFRIES' TRAINING CAMP, ROW
ARDENNAN, June HIT really looks
as If it's all off with the fight so far
as San Francisco is concerned, SAID
Jim Jeffries at noon today, as he was
loking out of the window of the hotel
dining room and talking to the mem
bers of the press. Il never dreamed
of such thing happening and can not
account for the governor taking this
late stand after all the trouble and ex-
pense we have gone, thinking that the
governor was sincere when he said he
would not interfere.
II think there is dirty lot of poll
itics mixed up in this affair. What
would start the governor making this
move at this late date? Do church
people think they are pursuing a re-
ligious course in starting this agita-
tion after man like Rickard has in
vested most of his fortune, and stands
a chance of going broke? If they do,
L don't want to speak to many church
people.
Il really don't think the governor
has acted fairly in this matter. l trust
and hope the fight will stay in San
Francisco. 1 will stick by Rickard
and Gleason at any cost"
Jeffries expressed his sincere SYM
pathy for Rickard, whom he called a
game and honest man. He appre-
ciates what a loss the change means
to the Nevadan and feels keenly the
injury done to the promoter.
1t is expected that the camp will be
broken up tomorrow, and this will
practically end Jeffries' training here.
He has an engagement to do a sparring
turn at the casino at Santa Cruz sun
day. and according to the present plans
this will be the last seen of Jefries
in training in California for all time.
READY FOR DEPARTURE

ments, Jeffries will leave either late
on Sunday or early Monday for Reno,

JOHNSON ASKS WARRANT
FOR FORMER MANAGER

Life was one long golden dream for
}. Arthur Johnson yesterday, as he
spent his time just as he liked without
disturbance of any kind.
Probably the most delightful part of
the days doings for the big cinder was
when he appeared at the office of the
bond and warrant clerk in the tempo
rary hall of Justice and asked for a
felony warrant for the arrest of George
Little, his former manager, on the
charge of passing a fictitious check for
$500. While the warrant was not
granted a citation was issued against
Little, ordering him to appear this
rant should not be allowed.
Next to the warrant incident John
sons cup of joy was still further filed,
when he appeared at the office of the
sheriff and gave a $4,000 cash bond for
the release of the attachments on his
automobiles. Little caused the attach
ments to be placed on the machines on
Thursday as security for suit over
some $4,000, which the former manager
of the champion claims is due him.
Later in the day Johnson said:
L hear the call of the wild. Me for
a little spin in the auto
Here. here" shouted several of his
training crew, you promised Rickard
you would not do that"
With great mock dignity Jack drew
himself to full height and answered:
L am a man of my word, sub. 1t is
not for the pleasure of driving that I
Will take my car on the road, but for
the express purpose of seeing If that
pesky deputy who guarded the car last
night got away with any of the gears
or cylinders"
With sly wink Johnson raced up
the beach to the garage and in min
ute had his old roadster splitting and
roaring like cannonade. Dexterously
backing the machine from the garage
Johnson turned into the boulevard and
a minute later was lost in cloud of
dust mile away. But, though he was
tempted and fell, Johnson showed that
ne was partially inclined to keep from
worrying Rickard too much, as the big
black was gone less than five minutes,
when he returned to the hotel and
stabbed his car.
After ALL" remarked Johnson, with
one of his most expansive smiles,
don't think he took thing off the car
