that Langford would challenge Johnson,

There was a yell away back in the
north of the arena. and the egg head OF
Jack Johnson bobbed over the shoulders
OF the crowd. It was just 2:So.
Johnson wore long silk robe. black
and white striped. As he took the middle
Of the ring. he showed every gold tooth in
his expansive row OF incisors
Then came Jeffries, and the arena was

JOHNSON HACKERS GRAB
JEFFRIES MONEY RIGHT
AND LEFT At RINGSIDE

Reno, July 4-Some brisk betting was
begun about the arena after the seats
had filed up. The sudden dumping Of a
lot Of Jeffries money into Corbetts pool
room at noontjme had pushed the odds
up to a fat to 1. Betting agents or
Corbett passed around the arena hawking
the new odds vociferously.
i've got $500 says Jenries wins-whose
got $50 to talk with me-"
The invitation was not unheeded. A
large number Of the sports liked this
2-to-I proposition, and about all the offers
made within earshot Of the reporters
benches at the ringside were snapped up.
Then the odds dropped back to their old
figure Of to TO-
BY 1870 the arena was packed. Rick
ards hope that every seat would be filed
seemed to have been realized. There was
not a break in the solid tiers of black
forms, topped with straw hats. that were
piled up in a broad receding plane to the
/ jagged blue sky line.
/ The sun dropped heat that was as pom
I derable as rain. The broad dish of the
/ arena caught and held the heat until ii
/ seemed 20 curdle What wind there was
came in little puffs, and IL only lifted the
wells of the Divorces in the swallows
nest high up on the sky line
/ Gov. Dickerson of Nevada, who had
/ announced that he would not be at the
fight. dropped into his seat in the second
row from the ringside at / 80. He looked
stern but pleased.
! Just about this time Richard came "a
where the reporters Of the Press Associa-
/ ton were broiling by their wires. and
/ said that ii had been agreed between
| the fighters that the purse would be split
| so and 40 per cent, instead of 70 TO the

Alta O'Clock. Announcer Billy Jordan. OF

Then William Muldoon climbed into tht
ring to say that every man present mus

Gov. DiskersOn Abashed.
A roar followed Muldoon's below. ant

Of thousands of swaying bodies. Gov

characteristic fighting crouch and ad-

his right shoulder where the vulnerable
chin could be protected His huge left
arm he held out. and 10 one side. as one
would hold a club ready 10 swing in a
short. sharp arc 10 his opponents body
He dropped the weight Of his body in an
easy crook at the knees, at Just such an
angle that would enable them to fiex sud
denly into a backward or forward spring
Johnson stood with his back bent at
an angle away from the perpendicular
His long left arm he extended far be-
yond him, the glove opened so that he
could grasp at a forearm or ward of
a swift blow by turning II with the
fingers. Negro like, he stood fiat-foOted,
but even though the heel and toe were
soldly on the floor OF the ring, there
seemed TO be some unusual magic In the
instinct of his feet.
He was here one second and there an
other. His feet would cautiously carry
him tvo inches nearer the club-like left
that swung before him, and then when
Jeffries' muscles could be seen to tense
for a blow, they would shift in the
twinkling Of an eye. and the elusive
black man would be out of arms reach.
The Two spared for several seconds,
cautiously. then lively. Neither seemed
inclined TO lay himself open TO a crush
ing blow at the outset.
Each kept an eve on the eve of the
other. watching for the first flicker of a
thought telegraph.
Johnson caught an instants opportun-
ity- He shot out his left arm with a
rapidly that made the travelling glove
only a blur. and the blow smacked on
the white mans face. 1t was not a hard
blow. for Jeffries had forestailed it in
a measure by g backward jerk of his
head. But it was the first blow, and a
yell swept through the arena
When the two men locked in their first
clincb the spectators saw how It was
that the negro was going TO fight. There
seemed to be a detached consciousness
in the mans arms. Though he had his
head on Jeffries' shoulder and was smil-
ing with all his golden teeth at Corbett
the black mans hands worked as II
under the command of his eyes.
