ROMANCE OF RING
Boiler Makers Pugiiism Is Like Hurting
Hay in Wagon
By FRED R. BEcHDoLT

10 them. You can't bear tales to JEFF
fries about any one whom he cares for.
He is true hearted TO a fault But
ne is as direct and as fond of fun as
= boy. His very face when he is loaf
ing is boyish at times.
But get him in the ring and how
that face changes. Ii grows impassive.
Tt grows so impassive that IL is like
stone. The eyelids droop a little, the
heavy. brows draw little closer than
their wont. And thus the face remains
so long as the other man batters it,
AS the body stays mistaken so the
face stays undisturbed. impassive. And
the man comes on. He keeps coming
on, stern, stubborn. but tremendously
Sndisturbed. He looks like a man do
ing hard work, accustomed to toll.
bent on finishing it steadily, until he
strikes; then the face wakens and
those heavy lines beside the mouth
deepen. while the scow1 becomes pair
Of crevices between the brows.
DEEP SEATED TRAITS
That is the way the man has looked
and acted in the past. Those are the
traits he has shown TO those about
him. Some Of them are but little
things. but they seem to me to show
things far beneath the skin. And it is
on those things deep beneath the skin
-on the very soul of the man-that
everything depends, all other things
being equal
1t will be the strangest combination
the most remarkable pair of opposites
in ring history. The sullen fighting
man, the marvellous fighting machine
the grim advance in spite of punish
ment, the lightning defense, the mind

Foreign Fight Fans Are
Divided in Opinions

Los ANGELES, July Several par
ties of foreign fight fans, representing
England. Spain, France, Germany, Ger
man New Guinea and Brazil, are here
today, en- route to Reno to see Jeffries
hurl himself against the dark bulk of
Johnson next Monday
Sir Conan Middleton of London is the
head of a party of British visitors. DR..

German New Guinea make UP another
party. They saw Johnson settle

fixed on a certain end, the senses act
ing instinctively to avoid that end.
Jeffries. so normal that he only appeals
through being splendid type of a
stubborn race; Johnson, uncanny in his
wonderful abnormality. The big man
with skin the color of dulled brass
against the black marvel.
ROMANCE KNOCKED OUT
There is no romance in such fight
ing as Jeffries does. IT is hard work
for wages. He killed the romance of
the heavy weight class; he made pugil-
ism like tossing hay into a wagon.
But there is something bigger than
glamour In his way of doing things.
1t is as different from Johnsons way
rs the cold north is from the breeze of
the flaming south. 1t is the stubborn
way of hairy breasted race, who
rudely did what they had set out to do.
Il may take the devil OF a licking.
but l will get him." he put it terseIy.
At his best Kipling wrote a poem,
the Ballad of the Camperdown." 1t
took him many stanZas to tell the
story OF the heavy battieship against
the swift armored cruiser; to describe
the massive hull shot through and
through by the evasive craft of lighter
tonnage. Then he described the drift
ing of the huge, battered hull down
on its enemy and told how the victory
was won primitively at the last.
All Of which-had those two era aft
been men-amounted to taking the
devil of a licking and getting him. I"
1t is within the range of possibility
that when James ]. Jeffries sets out
to do his heavy piece of work next
Monday afternoon he may produce Just
such parallel.

big TIM SULLIVAN ARRIVES
JEFF GOES 5 MILES ON ROAD
BY BATTLING NELSON

of eight miles on the road, of which
Pthe final 200 yards was a gay piece OF
sprinting, the champion running away
from all his partners He then
stripped for a shower and rundown
and his condition looked great, his
muscles standing out like whipcords
although he carried enough fat to be
able TO fight a long time and sweat
considerably without being weakened
from the effect.
Johnson was being kidded by stories
emanating from the Jeffries camp to
the effect that he would be lucky if
he lasted half dozen rounds. He
only smiled and replied: That's what
they all say
After his rundown he began shooting
craps with his trainers and several
of the bystanders. Hugh Mcintosh had
the gambling fever and said: .I'il shoot
you a dollar" johnson rolled over the
bones to the promoter. who first rolled
seven, then. eleven, and passed on tens
and fours and won $23 without losing
bet.
w. r. Corbett, the Australian an
thority, was little coy on yisiting
Johnson. thinking he would be an nm
welcome visitor. as he had SPOKEN
rather harshly of Jack while In the
antipodes, but to everybody's surprise
Johnson smiled and welcomed him with
extended hand and seemed rather glad
he called.
The arena will certainly be one
beauty and will be thrown open for
inspection of the visitors Sunday. The
seating capacity is $4,000, and the
arena is so arranged that if the pat
ronage warrants it it can easily be
enlarged to accommodate 5000 more.

Jeff strolled apart with Abe Attell' The
two were in conference for an hour
Jeff bent over the little fighter, listen
ing intently to every word he uttered
1t was an important talk for JEFF.
Abe Attell was in Jack O'Brien's cor
ner when the latter met Jack johnson
in Philadelphia less than a year ago.
The bantam weight told the undefeated
heavy weight today that O'Brien made
Johnson look foolish on many occa-
sions during that fight. He said that
Jen should use the same method
OBrien employed against the black
fighter Attell illustrated the blows he
would have jeff deliver with his own
fists, and JEFF watched with his atten-
tion concentrated.
After the talk Abe declared that he
was utterly taken by surprise at JEFF
tries appearance. He said that he had
been misled by pictures of the former
champion and before seeing that fighter
in the flesh had thought Johnson to
! favorite. Now Abe declared. Il
think there is nothing to 1T but JEFF. .

RENO. New, July 1.-The lsst spec
taele before the big battle will be COM

holder of the $1O1.eo0 purse for this
battle, arrived today with $4,000 jim

besides the $4,000 forfeit. $4,000 for

was posted to fulfill their part OF the
agreement.
There were so many notables arriy-
ing today that 1t would take up pages
by using their names; therefore, ! will
only mention a few OF the most prom
inent. There was the Australian con-
tinSent. headed by Tommy Burns;
Hugh Mcintosh, who pulled off the
fight between Tommy Burns and john

w. e. Corbett, Australia's premier

as Honolulu, but there he went sight

noon of the fight. Both Woodman and
Lsnsford are after Johnson, and the
pair Will camp upon the trail of the

provision is made for a contest
Jake kllrain has little or nothing to
say. He thinks that il is going to be
a great battle and all that sort Of
thing, but he does not feel Just liks
picking the winner at the present times
Old Jake also shook the hand OF the
big white man ana sized him up IN a
critical manner. OF course there was
another reunion between him and John
L. Sullivan. but this does not count for
much, because they have been doing a
stunt together practically ever since
John L. beat Jake down in Mississippi
away back in the seventies.
LANGFoRD FOR JEFF
As for Langford, he still believes that
Jefrries VIII win and he still believes
that he can beat Johnson. though he
modestIy admits that he has no chance
with the big fellow. Sam was Included
among the Jefrries inspection marty
TINS afternoon He and the former
champion are very friendly and each
mas a lot or regard for the other as a
fighter. Sam stirred up quite a lot OF
talk when he announced that he is
willing to jump into the ring in Jef's
place In the event that anything does
happen to the white man.
So far as anybody can figure ont tba
selection of Charley White as the any
tliary referee meets with general satis-
faction. Rickard says that he will ret
into the ring and that there is NO
chance to stop him unless he is taken
i'll in the meantime.

TO Hold WATCH
Veteran Time Keeper to OFF,
ciafe for Eleven Hundred
and First Time

RENO, New, July 1.-When Jeffries
and Johnson spring to their feet at the
tap of the first gong Monday afternoon
the watch that will tick off the fateful
seconds as the fight progresses will be
that of George F. Harting, whose his
tory as a time keeper dates back to
fights when Jeffries and Johnson had
never been heard of. For Harting 1t
will be the greatest battle with which
he has ever officiated, and its number
in his personal record book will be
1101.
To the sporting world at large the
announcement that George Harting
would hold the watch at any contest
has been almost bond that the fight
was fair and square. His name re-
calls to those associated with the fight
ing game the picture of quiet, mod
est, eminently businesslike official
against whose integrity as ring Of
fetal there has never been breath
of suspicion.
To Harting's appointment Jeffries
and Johnson gave the same reply: II
am satisfied
George Harting came to this country
from New Zealand. Peter jackson.
Johnson's forerunner for championships
honors among dusky fighters, came on
the same steamer. That was nearly o5
years ago, and Harting was even then
q time keeper. His experience besa nj
in New Zealand and since his. watch
measured the passing minutes at his
first fight he has not known a year In
which he was not called upon to act
in a similar capacity.
When Peter jackson and Joe God
dard clashed before the old California
athletic club % years ago it signal
ized Harting's appearance as time
keeper in this country. Since that
time he has offciated at fights, big
and little. 1t was he who held the
watch at the famous jackson -Corbett
61 round mo decision battle in 1891.
His record also includes the great
battle between Jim Corbett and Joe
Choynski, which was decided on a.
barge near Benicia, Cal, two decades
ago.
81 expect this to be my last appear
ance in timing championship fight"
said the veteran tonight.
Harting has no opinion to offer of
Mondays battle.
Il am an officia1.'' he said. "anJ
have no opinion, at least for the pub
lie.
II will say, however" he added.
that after seeing Jeffrtes this after
noon and looking him over in the
light of my knowledge of him in for
mer days, ! have never seen him look
so well prepared to fight as he does
fOday."

Tscharner for ASSEMBLY.

1t is with genuine pleasure that
we learn of the candidacy of
Peter j. Tscharner tor the South
Dakota assembly. There is but
little we could say that might
add to the high regard in which
the Perkins county public hold
Mr.. Tscharner. The gentleman
has as yet not published his an
nouncement, but on being inter
viewed he states that this will be
forthcoming next week, giving
us leave at the same time to con-
meet his name with the can
didacy.
Mr.. Tscharner was among the
earliset arrivals at Lennon,
! when the temporary town of
board shacks and tents had bare
ly come into being. Highly gift
ed, of trained and scholarly mind,
and lofty ideals, he hung GU
his humble single as a lawyer
for the struggling honyak folk.
That he served these well, was
shown plainly in the fine endorse
ment he received two years ago,
when running for the Office OF
sta tes attorney for Perkins
county.
| Mr.. Tscharner was a most pro.
minent factor in the efforts
which resulted in segregatine
Perkins county from the old bulk
of Butte. In other measures
looking to the betterment of the
social and political status of the
residents of this new region he
has likewise been a Jealous and
tireless worker. As states attor.

this.
In as much as the senatorial
office for the legislative district
is now held by a Harding county
man, Sen. O. 0. Stokes, who is
running to succeed himself it
would seem but meet, right and
proper, that the representative
be chosen from this part of the
district. AS to fitness for the
office, there is left no doubt but
what Mr.. Tscharner, by reason
of honesty of intent and direct
ness of purpose. gift of oratory,
the leagal mind and deep learn
ing, will easily stand foremost as
qualified for the trust.
We doubt not but what the
personal pride we feel in presen-
ting the name of Mr.. Tscharner
is but the echo of the solid regard
with which Mr.. Tscharner s
measured by his constituency,
and we prophesy for him an en-
dorsement at the polls, which
will equal the one that was just
ly awarded him two years ago.
