RENO, New, June 30.--The Info
workers are getting busy on the big
fight. AS result the odds have
frightened up, regaining the half point
they lost Tuesday night, when they
dropped from 10 10 s, to 10 to 8, and
then again to 10 to IL. Last night
the Johnson money loosened up lit
tie, a fair-sized commission coming IN
from San Francisco, and the price
bounded up to 10 to z.
There were few takers at this figure,
because there is feeling. based on
something really inscrutable, that
there should be a drop to at least
to /, or even as low as 10 to 4. 1t
has been no secret that the Johnson
camp is holding out for the latter
odds. but undoubtedly there is dis

out his jaw for them to slam at, tell

and they never rocked his head. He
gave a fine exhibition, when he held
out his chin and drew back just as
the punch struck where the jaw had
been, and then, like a flash, stepped
in and hooked his right or left to
jaw or body.

there are times when Street seems
to show signs OF weakness as a result
OF overwork. His throwing, while
still marvellous, appears TO be mort
laborious than formerly. nor does the
ball leave his hands with that saHl
snap that once characterized his peg

There ere those who believe thrt
Street should get an occasional rest,
IL be Is to retain his best form.
Hughey Jennings Is one or those to
hold this opinion. Street has no
greater admirer than the Tigers lead

man behind the bat. II was during
the stay Of the Nationals remarked
to flew ritter: Street should not
throw more than four or five balls In
practice. He works too hard, and

seems to me that his throws lack the
snap they formerly possessed, and
this is clearly the result of too mucn
throwing"
