JOHNSON PEEVES At
MENTION OF WORKING
Although His. Training Quarters
Are Ready He Contents Him
self with Leisure

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5,-Jack johnson Is
training on leisure. Since he has been in
San Francisco he has divided his time be-
tween bits of business and pleasure-mostly
pleasure.
He objects 10 the mention of any sort of
work, and peeves at slight disturbance of
the tranquil existence he Is enjoying in the
cool breezes that blow from the sea. His
gymnasium is ready for him, and he passes
by it without even peeking in.
All that he cares for by way of diversion
from the smooth paths of the simple life is
his automobile. When he is not sleeping or
walking along the Golden Cate park and
ocean beach highways he is at the steering
wheel and levers of his touring car.
His big Understanding racing car arrived
today and sent a thrill through the rather
apprehensive management of the big fight.
johnson has made all sorts Of promises that
he viii avoid the danger mark
Manager George Little stated today that
Monday had been chosen for the beginning of
the conditioning season. johnson will be put
on a routine schedule, and from then on
until the day of the fight he will be care
fully watched and handled by his trainers.

GOVERNOR UNABLE

Through His Secretary, MiniSte-

That He Is PoWerleSS
Associated Pressl

SACRAMENTO, May 5.--In response
to scores of letters received at the gov
ernor's office every day since the
death of Tommy Mccarthy, following
his fight with Owen Moran in San
Francisco last Friday, urging that
Governor Gillett stop the Jeffres-
Johnson fight on July 4. e. Forest
Mitchell, executive secretary to the
governor, sent out answers today, say
ing the governor is helpless to inter
fere. The letters were addressed to
religious organizations in Alameda
county, San Francisco, Santa Clara,
Los Angeles and Fresno. The copy
given out by Mitchell which officially
makes known the governors stand on
the matter. is as follows:
THE Ministerial union of Fresno, Rev.
Ray o. Miller, chairman, Fresno,
Cal.
"Gentlemen-Th office is in receipt
of your letter enclosing resolutions
passed by the Ministerial union of
Fresno relative to suppressing the JEFF

Governor GilIett is en- route east at
the present time and will probably not
return to Sacramento for at least a
month Lieutenant and Acting Cover
nor Porter win not be in this office
until a week or ten days from now.
Replying to your letter in their abb
sence, permit me to say that the gov
ernor is not in favor of prize fights;
that he has never attended one in his
life and says that he never will. How
ever, under the laws of California,
believe he is powerless to prevent or
suppress this so-called boxing contest
because the law allows such contests
if the necessary permit to be obtained
has been granted by the local author

this permit has been granted
Il would suggest that you file your
complaint with the district attorney OF
Alameda county, and if this is prize

the law in his hands to put stop to
it, In all probability, however, the To-
cal authorities will be seriously handi-
capped until such time as the law is
amended by the state Legislature Sc

NOODLES NAGLE
DEFEATS SEALS
Old Knowledge Has Visiting Bats
men on the Hip at All Times
During the Game

Noodles Nagle put the kibosh onto
the Seals yesterday and evened up
for the Angels on the two games of
the series. The visiting batsmen clouted
the ball rather hard at times, but were
unlucky in that they could not solve
the puzzling slants of the old brain
box when they had men waiting on the
bags for an invitation to run home.
Even the ninth inning bid for the
game went kafluey because Old
Knowledge was too wise to allow the
pair of singles secured by the Seals
to count for anything. The final count
showed the Angels on the long end of
a to 8 score.
Miller tried to pitch the game for
the Seals, but the Angelic swatters
kept landing on him so regularly that
Kiddo Mohler decided to give him a
vacation and he was shunted to the
bench, Ames taking his place at the
beginning of the fourth inning for the
Angels. Nagle was mot very parucu-
lar about being effective except When
the Seals showed threatening attl-
tude He allowed them to score one
RIM off two hits in the third another
off three hits in the sixth and another
off two bingles in the seventh. Then
he refused to do any more loosenlhg
I'D. Los Angeles started off, as usual,
in the lead, scoring once in the open
ing inning, a pair in the third another
in the sixth and still another in the
seventh. It was unnecessary to play
out their half of the ninth.
It was snappy exhibition, with
enough hitting and scoring to give
the fans full satisfaction for their TO
bits only three of the twenty-three
safeties registered were of the extra
base variety, Orendorff getting by with
a pair of doubles and Shaw coming
tbrnuph with one. The Angels gave
Nagle perfect fielding support, while
the Seals were guilty of pair of mis-
plays ., of

he will have some good news for local

who stuck with him, and every one OF
them not only made money, but near
