Jack johnson
Is Worried,

San Francisco, June Though Jack
JolInson's managerial situation is in a
chaotic state the champion seems to
be trying diligently to reassure his fol-
lowers that all is well. If Billy Nolan
was really hired as Johnson's manager
to succeed George Little. as ANNOUNCE
ed Sunday night. then Nolans tenure
of Office has established perhaps a rec
ord for brevity. Johnson stated en-
phatically last night that Nolan would
not be his pilot. Here is Johnson's lat
est word on the matter
Il am through with George Little,
and l don't need any one else. At that
I am friendly with Billy Nolan: but I
don't see where he could help me az
this stage of the game. My training is
going nicely and all my contracts IN
regard to the fight and the moving pic
lures have been signed. Eilly Delaney
will be with me in few days. but he
will only have to do with my training.
But it is easy to see that Johnson
has been worrying and he said yester-
day that since his trouble with Little.
he has lost more weight than he could
have taken off by doubling his road
work. Johnson says that few days
ago he weighed PIC pounds. Yesterday
he tipped the beam at 210.
II did not intend to be that low until
much nearer the fight. and ! will have

RumOrs of Trouble
In Jeff's Camp,

Ben Lomond Cal. June 1-Closely fol-
lowing the managerial break in Jack
Johnsons camp. there are indications to-
night of something brewing in Jeffries'
camp. Just what is in the air cannot be
learned. but the presence at Ben Lomond
of Eddie Graney, the San Francisco ref
cree, and Jack Gleason, one of the pro-
moters of the fight. gave rise to rumors
and speculation
Graney said he came to Ben Lomond
merely to see Jeffries and Corbett in &C
ton in their first sparring bout. but this
explanation is not generally accepted
around the camp. Graney and Sam Ber-
ger. Jeffries' manager, are said to be any
thing but friendly, and vague rumors
floating about camp have it that the
presence of the honest blacksmith" does
not augur we'll for Sam.
Gleason, like Graney. said he came to
see Jeffries and Gentleman Jim don
the gloves for the first time.
Jeffries' & cd humor seems to be the
best barometer of conditions in the camp
and if any disturbing winds are blow
ing as result of Geason's and Graney's
visit they have not yet ruffled the feelings
of Jeffries.
For the second time the first boxing
bout between Jeffries and Corbett suffer-
ed a postponement and caused keen dis
appointment to a large crowd of entrus-
lasts who came down from San Francis
co to see the former champion and the
undefeated one in action. At the last
moment Jeffries decided to await the
completion of the outdoor ring before
donning the gloves with COrbett Camn
visitors were entertained with warmly
contested game of handball between the
two former champions
