Reno, Nev., June 25.-It would take a large can to hold all the oil alleged to have been poured upon the trobled waters, resulting in bringing Sullivan and Jeffries together. John l.. called and was met by COrbett with a hearty handshake, then to rubbing room where Jeff extended a cordial greet ing. Things had been plainly ar are claiming credit for the bringing about of the meeting. Among them are Corbett Rickard, and Choynski.
 It is believed though, that William Muldoon, Suliivans old trainer, was chiefly responsible Anyhow, peace prevails on the Jeffries side Suli- vans return visit to the Jeffries camp today and the friendly recep- tion given him both by Corbett and Jeffries was not unexpected.
 Gentleman Jim" was conveniently on hand when Sullivans automobile drew up. "I guess everything is all right now" said the old fighter. as he grasped Corbetts outstretched hand.
 Sure" was the reply.
 And as they stood chatting together a battery of cameras trained on the pair by the neWspaper photographers opened fire
 Muldoom, coming up accompanied Corbett and Sullivan into the rubbing room, where Jeffries was stretched on slab The big fellow held out the hand of welcome and John l.. shook it warmly. as he cried. Hello, young fellow. by heavens, you're look ing great"
 And I'm feeling great" Jeffries told him.
 Then for quarter of an hour they waXed reminiscent, and talked of bat ties in by-gone days. after which. with another handshake all around, Sullivan returned to Reno.
 Crowds thronged both training camps today. Jeffries after light work in the morning. called for his fishing rod and having secured a license. started forth to investigate the trout streams and lakes about Reno.
 Jack Johnson worked hard Several miles on the road, seven rounds of boxing in the broiling sun, not to speak of the big punching and medi- cine ball play, constituted the cham pions initial grind at the new camp He finished breathing easily and ap- parently in fine fettle The altitude did not seem to affect him in any way
