Johnson on Time.
True to his promise, Jack Johnson
appeared for his regular workout
shortly after 8 o'clock. He covered
nine miles of road early in tho day,
but did not do any other work until
afternoon. Johnson believes In re-
taxation between his working spells,
and to this plan the camp owes much
OF Its amusement, After he returned
from the sprint today he plunged
into the fun around the resort and
became the leading spirit wherever
there was something doing"
1t Is his way OF resting. and he
plays around the place like a frolic-
some schoolboy intent on mischief.
Not one sign does he show that he
ever thinks OF the near approach Of
the Fourth OF July with all that the
day means to him. The negro is as
happy as a lark and seems the least
interested person in the camp In the
"Before-th Battle Mother" talk Kauf-
man Monahan and Mills were the
champions victims today. The bouts
lacked the excitement OF those
staged Yesterday In honor Of Cover
nor Dickenson's presence. Johnson

playing with his partners. Four
rounds with Kaufman were much like
they have been on every day except
yesterday. Al did all the leading and
Johnson contented himself with
blocking the blows. Monnhan followed

Jacks left brought blood from the
Irishman's nose and lips, That seems
to be one of the things that Jack aims
for from the start, and as soon as It
is accomplished he reduces his speed
Dave Mills was subjected to Jacks
love taps for two rounds. and this
closed the days workout. Johnson
appeared well satisfied with every
thing and ambled off to his rubbing
room smiling cheerfully.
Many Women Present
The crowd which witnessed the
workout was about the same as yes
terday. perhaps 200 people. a larger
percentage OF women were present to-
day than on any previous occasion.
In a conference with Tex Richard,
referee and promoter OF the fight.
Johnson today agreed to fight In a
ring twenty-five feet square This
suits Jeffries. and the matter Of ring
dimensions. mover before given deep
consideration by the principals. has
been settled
The question Of the thickness of
the padding to be stretched over the
floor of the ring is still open The
prize fight law OF Nevada contains
nothing bearing upon the matter. and
JeffTles and Johnson have not yet
agreed as to how much canvas and
felt must be under thoir feet when
they face each other. They will state
their requirements tomorrow.

compares Jim JefGries and Jack John. !
son after seeing both fighters work |
out:
Jack Johnson, In my opinion. is
faster man than Jim Jeffrles. but | |
don't think there is the power behind |
his blows that lies behind Jenries' !
punches. He is cleyerer than Jeffries. |
apparently. and | think that his de-
tense is harder to penetrate than !
that OF the former champion. II is |
safe to say. / think, that Johnson
Will hit Jeffries moro times than JET

about the result OF the fight, as l
