is a part of what he said
II have given out no statement that
Johnson will be easy for me. He may
be easy and he may be tough. But will
be in good shape for him. I have been
training for year practically, looking
ahead to this fight. and l don't think,
but I know-that I will beat him. In
spite of the work that Il have done. I
am going to work hard for the sum-
mer 1 like my quarters and like my
work You can just say that I will be
fit when I step into the ring on the
Fourth of July
Summer Home Is Ideal.
And now, perhaps, you will like to
know just little about the place that
Jeffries will call home for the sum-
mer months Rowardennan is a hotel
property, comprising SO acres. 1t has
an office building and then come the
cottages scattered all around the
grounds. Hotel Rowardennan is near
the railroad station of Ben LOmond
and within eight miles from Santa
Cruz and just three hours travel from
San Francisco. It has an elevation of
1856 feet and the climate is ideal for
training camp.
The Jeffries party has a large cot
tage, with four big rooms. and during
the season will be provided with pri-
vate dining room. The place that was
formerly used as the dance-hall for the
guests has been converted into gym
nasium where will be found the ap-
paratus, the punching bag and also the
ring that will be used for sparring.
There is close at hand large hand
ball court.
The San Lorenzo river is close at
hand and will afford facilities for
swimming and rowing. OF course there
is mountain climbing in abundance and
at this time of year excellent trout
fishing. An Isaak Walton of the coun-
try, who knows every trout hole, has
promised to help Jeffries catch some
whoppers.
There are accommodation at Row.
ardennan for something like $50 guests
and it is no secret that the hotel man
agement expects to have lot of guests
all the time. 1t will be a popular place
for automobile parties and the like

Last week, Sam Fitzpatrick, former
for Johnson. was responsible
for a statement in which he said that
if Jeffries could get into condition he
would have no trouble beating the ne
gro. He explained as his reason for
such an argument that Johnson could
not hit. Johnson had GOMEZ back
the following day and said that the
reason Fitzpatrick made such a state
ment was because he was sore. OF
course there might have been some
truth in that, and consequently the
statement carries less
weight than it otherwise would
The advance sale of seats opened
this week in San Francisco According
to the announcement that has been is
sued, only seats ranging from SIS to
$50 will be sold at the present time.
will be gwen certificates
San Francisco bank that their money
will be refunded in case the fight does
not take place.
The lower-priced seats, those selling
for s. and SO, will not be placed on
sale before June 1. 1t is believed that
the fasteners who expect to see the
fight will be ready to pay the larger
sums, while Californians will look for
the lower priced chairs at the arena.
Advance Sale Is Heavy.
Tom Williams has decided to run the
races right up to the first of July. but
it is not expected that this will inter-
fere with the construction of the are
ma. Inasmuch as the fight Is to take
place within the inside enclosure, the
stands can be put up without fnterfer-
ing with the actual racing.

to Ely, New, on business, but Gleason
Is expected back from the east almost
