because of the terms of the con-
tract they were entitled to at least
$4,000. They argued that since by
the contract Jeffries and his partner
in the deal, Rickard, would get
$66,OO0 as soon as the first gong
was tapped Monday, and that even
if no blow was struck in the fight,
that the money belonged to Tex and

ginning of the year, was willing
to grant forty-five round permit,
breaking the twenty-round limit,
but tsill there was friction at some
points, and it was finally decided
to take the fight across the bay.
Emeryville is the site of the new
California Jockey Club race track.
1t is convenient to all railroads,
street cars and ferry boats, and
when the sporting world heard that
President Williams of the Jockey
club had consented to the use Of
the grounds for the fight arena,
they breathed sigh of relief. 1t
looked as though the way was
cleared at last. The men were in
training, plans for the arena were
drawn, the agreed portions of the
gigantic purse were deposited, and
everything looked smooth.
Right in the midst of this, how
ever, the church opposition came.
The people of the east bay shore
where Emeryville is located brought
great pressure to bear upon the
county officials. 1t was announced
that the fight would be stopped at
the first indication that it was any
thing but the sparring contest ii
was purported to be. This state
ment created alarm. and when ii
was followed by request from
Williams that the promoters find
some other place, sportdom suf-
fered a decided blue spell. Will
liams said he would keep his bar
gain with Rickard but it was evil
dent that he did not desire to do
so.
The promoters then began to
gather their forces in San Fran
cisco again. A storm of objection
and protest was raised by the
church federations and like or.
ganizations, but the police COM
mittee of the supervisors recon-
mended that the forty-five round
permit be granted. Attorneys were

RENO, July with the last
plank in place, the canvas covering
of the ring stretched until it can
not slip or rumple beneath the
feet of the fighters, the arena in
which James j. Jeffries and John
Arthur Johnson will settle the
worlds heavyweight championship
on Monday is ready for the throng-
ing thousands who will see the
history making battle fought out.
And the thousands are coming.
They are pouring into this little
city by every available means of
conveyance. Some of them have
come from the other side of the
Atlantic ocean. Some have voy-
aged across the. Pacific, travelling
nearly 10000 miles to witness the
fight, and probably there would
have been many more from great
distances had it not been for the
strong opposition to the match and
the widespread agitation to pre-
vent it which finally resulted in
the transfer to the far less accessi-
BILE Reno.
The widespread opposition to the
fight in California which finally re-
suited in Governor Gillett's dras-
tic action, barring the event from
the state, and the shifting of the
scene to Reno, was headed by the
churches of the country, and found
a place in the resolutions adopted
by several of the church confer
ences and conventions. The COVER
nor, the mayor and even the pres
ident were appealed to, and the
story of the governors final inter-
ference is now history.
The first problem encountered by
the promoters after the men had
signed articles was that of select
ing site. Rickard declared him
self in favor of Salt Lake City.
Utah, and it looked for a time as
though the match would be staged
there. Jack Gleason, Richards as
sociate. is a San Franciscan. how
ever, and he was equally determ-
ined that the fight should be held
in his home city. The difference
between Rickard and Gleason con-
tinued until the governor of Utah
plainly intimated that his stand
would be against the fight. and
Rickard yielded the point.
When Rickard and Gleason final
ly decided upon holding the fight
on the coast. the question of the
exact place was still In doubt for

greeting and to each he accorded
his rare smile.
After the picture taking was
over, Jeffries strolled apart with
Abe Attell. Jeffries bent over the
little fighter and listening intent
ly to every word uttered. 1t was
an important talk for Jeffries.
Attell was in Jack O.Brien's cor
ner when the latter met Johnson
in Philadelphia less than year
ago. The bantamweight told the
undefeated heavyweight today how
O'Brien made Johnson look foolish
ON many occasions during the fight.
He said Jeff should use the same
method O'Brien employed against
the negro. Attell illustrated a blow
he would have Jeff deliver with his
own fists.

RENO, July With the ap-
pointment today of a timekeeper
and announcer, the circle of ring
side officialdom for the Fourth of
July battle between Jeffries and
Johnson, upon which rests the un-
disputed heavyweight champion
ship of the world, is completed.
The officials are: Tex Rickard, of
Nevada, referee; Charles White, OF
New York, alternate referee;
George F. Harting of San Fran
cisco, timekeeper; Billy Jordan, of
San Francisco, announcer; Tim"
Sullivan, of New York, stakehold-
er; Tom Corbett of San Francisco,
betting commissioner.
Reno was much perturbed today
by rumors. They were flying ev-
erywhere. Rumors about Jeffries,
rumors about Johnson, rumors
about Rickard and the referee job,
rumors about everything and ev-
erybody directly or indirectly con-
nected with the fight. Taking the
Jeffries rumors in chronological or
der, this morning he broke his left
forearm; at noon he ruptured a
blood vessel in the elbow; at
O'Clock this afternoon he under
went an operation for appendicitis.
In spite of all this hard luck JEFF
fries was sufficiently recovered at
3 O'Clock to look up from game
of cards and drawbridge.
The only real affliction that has
come upon Jeffries during the day
was one which threatened his pock-
etbook. A suit for $4,000 attor-
neys' fees was filed against him
in the district court by local law
