BLACK JACK LOSES
FROM BLACK JACK
Champion Plays Better With His Fists
Closed Than With En- Open
By A. B. SIMPSON
ISneciaI Dispoieh 10 The Call

RENO, New, June 24.-From the time
Jack Johnson pulled up on the ferry
boat in an automobile at o'clock last
night until he became comfortably en-
sconsed in his training quarters at
Ricks resort this afternoon there was
an unending chorus of Il see you,
Jack" 20 you big smoke" and many
other calls from the prying, pressing,
curious throngs that gathered. On the
ferry Johnson remained In his machine
with Sig. Hart, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs
Hart AS soon as the boat arrived at
the Oakland mole the Johnson party
pressed quickly through the crowd to
the train, where special Pullman was
waiting. With Al Kaufman. George
Cotton, Frank Sutton. Professor Burns,
Doc" Furey and others the party num-
bered 16.
The first reception that Johnson re-
ceived was at the Sixteenth street sta
tion in. Oakland, where 200 or more
people clustered about in excitement,
cheering wildly when the black cham
pion was finally pointed out to them.
The curious on the train would have
kept a constant procession going
through the Johnson car had they been
permitted.
LOSES AT BLACKJACK
During the evening Johnson amused
himself by playing blackjack, and de-
spite his loss of $3.50 he went TO bed
contented about 1880 o'clock. Sutton
was even more content. He cleared
$500 from the play
There was no nistaking the John
son car. Scarcely had the party set
tied when a big talking machine was
started in the smoking room. At all
times there was jollity and laughter
in the car. and 1t seemed as if every
porter on the train found some pressing

they were denied admittance. many of
the travellers found it necessary to take
frequent walks through the train in
the direction of the lighting aggrega-
ton. The timorous were content to
stand just outside the door OF the car
and ask in hushed tones, rs he in
there?
Johnson, seemingly unaffected by the
tiresome ride. arose in good season this
morning and had breakfast in the car
with Hart. A game of cards was
started. but the champion derived more
sport from playing an accompaniment
to musical numbers on the phonograph
with his big bass viol. Shortly before
the state line was reached the train
was delayed by freightcar that had
jumped the track several hundred yards
ahead. During the wait Johnson left
the car and strolled a bit where the
limited space of a break in the snow
sheds gave a chance for enjoyment of q
view of the country.
At Truckee the entire populace, in
cluding two guests and the village

SIX SPECIALS TO
ROLL ON TO RENO
Southern Pacific Gets Orders
for Trains From All Parts
of Country

Up to o'clock yesterday afternoon
arrangements had been concluded by
the transportation, department of the
Southern Pacific for six special trains
between this city and Reno. Each spe-
cial will be made up of five cars. Be
sides these special trains several re-
quests for special cars will be filled
within the next day or SO.
Arrangements are being made by
the superintendent OF transportation
for one special from Salt Lake City.
one from Denver one from Birming-
ham and one from New Orleans. Two
Louis, one car from Ogden and prob
ably two special trains from Chicago.
According to the latest advices, the
special trains that were to have come
to this city from New York will not
come to Reno. Nearly all of the spe-
ciais will come on to San Francisco.
There will also be a large number
of fans from Seattle, Portland and
other northern cities.
The ST. Francis special will have
seven cars instead of five as originally
intended. The demand for reservations
has been SO heavy that 1t was found
necessary to add two more Pullmans to
the train
The Olympic club is likely to hook
up with the Family club and prob
ably some of the other fashionable
clubs of the city. The matter is un-
der consideration by the clubmen.

and over the fact that she had taken
the train particularly that mamma and
grandma might catch their only
glimpse of LIT Arthur" Grandma
saw him all right.
Although there was some talk ON the
train of Johnson's doing road work or
boxing here at Reno this afternoon.
the program was changed and the
chafpion spent his time In amusing
himself. He hit the big fiddle again
while Percy Wilson reeled off popular
ballads on the piano. Later he went to
his room.
All during the afternoon automobile
parties kept the dust busy between
Reno and the camp. Rick's resort in a.
short space of time became one of the
liveliest places this side of the blk
hills. Supplies of all sorts were rushed
to the camp and arrangements were
made for tomorrOw's work.
Before dinner Johnson spent con-
siderable time inspecting the nearly
completed open air platform back OF
the hotel. While the carpenters worked
he played craps with his trainers The
change in altitude and climate seemed
to invigorate the champion. mad II is
expected that he will put away a good
days work tomorrow. According to
the schedule he will do road work In
the morning and in the afternoon he
will try few rounds on the new
planks.
sig Hart and others of the training
party seem more than satisfied with
the new camp. which is about two
miles from the town. in which is in the
heart of the alfalfa fields and running
water.
The resort is crowded to the limit
and it is possible that some of the par
ty will have TO seek accommodations
in Reno.

After delivering himself of this.
Johnson lined everybody up at the bar
and ordered drink. He slowed a

his belt. and then he smiled some more
and licked his chops.
Sig Hart acted as the guide and
showed Johnson around the place He
inspected it all thoroughly and then he
asked them about the garage This is

If Jack can get away with 1t he will

admits that he and Little settled their
financial differences. but he denies en-

There was a quiet tip passed along
the lines tonight that Little will be on

-Four Fights Are Barred
By Police

The police department. acting under
instructions from the district attor-
neys office, put the crusher on four
bouts of the Hawthorn clubs card last
night in which the contestants were
stained by professionalism.
1t was evidently the result of the
crusade which was started by Governor
Gillett against prize fighting when he
chased the Jeffries- johnson fight out
of the state. AS consequence it looks
as if all the boys are going to fare in
a similar manner, and from the atti-
tude of the local officials 1t looks as if
the knights of the paded mitts are
doomed here.
The bouts were called off and the
fact was known around town early in
the evening and as consequence a
poor crowd was in attendance. The
bouts which were blacklisted were the
Al Neal-George Green fight, .Rufe Tur-
ner-Johnny Ryan go, Billy Snailham-
Tom Mcfarland bout and the George
Murray-Kid George contest.
Match Maker Young filled his card
with a bunch of substitutes.
In the opening contest George Gree
ly knocked out Harry West in three
rounds Tony Baroni knocked out
Willie Thomas in two rounds. Jim
Fox was given four round decision
over Jack Douglas. Willie Meehan
and Joe Rosconi boxed draw. Tom
Craig outboxed Bert Andrews in four
rounds. Walter Scott won four round
