FIGHT NOT FIXED, SAYS
SEN. BIG TIM SULLIVAN

NEW YORK. June 24.-State Senator
(Big Tim Sullivan, stakeholder for tho
Jeffries-J johnson fight says there is no
basis for the stories that the champion
ship fight is fixed. Senator Sullivan
has been in Europe for several weeks
and came home today on the Lusita-
mia. Speaking of the fight, Sullivan
said:
Reno is just as good a place for the
fight as san Francisco. I'm sorry to
hear all this talk about the fight being
fixed. From what investigation have
been able to make of the matter / am
of the opinion that the fight is abso-
lutely on the level. l am holding $71,-
600 of fight money now and $51 900 more
is to be placed in my hands twenty-four
hours before the fight"
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-25

home, is proving very popular. Those
who have not made reservations on the
special, should not delay, as they are
apt to find everything taken by Mon
day. Indications are good for a party
of not less than 800 on the special and
a merry old party it will be. How much
merrier it will be If jeff wins is hard
to say, but the merriment that will pre-
vail if the coon wins is apt to be of
the reverse English sort. If Jeff wins,
the returning special will be in the
nature of pay car, as those who go
to the fight will have some sort of a
wager on the big boy to win and If he
accommodates them, the gold pack on the
return special will be worth the atten-
tion of a Jesse James.
The colony of rooters at local league
games is a large one, and it is quite an
argument in favor of the greatest and
most popular pastime of the age when
business men are to be listed as regu
lars at games. John Brink, Clarence
Berry, Tom Stevens, Charlie Eyton,
Eddie Maier, Tom Carrigan and others
are among those who seldom miss a
game, and they get so interested that
they feel no bashfulness at all when it
comes to shouting advice to the play
ers to knock it over the fence, old
boy" and other encouraging remarks.
Jack Kipper will leave tomorrow af-
ternoon for Reno to pass the remaining
days intervening until the big fight
with his pal and business partner. Kip
has been chafng under the slothful-
ness of time in its passing, as he has
wanted to get away for several days.
Had the fight been staged in California
he would have been back to RoWarden-
nan a week ago.
The selection of Tex Rickard as ref
cree of the big fight looks like good
one with every succeeding day. Tex
may not be an expert as referee, but
he knows the game as we'll as any or
them; and now that the fight has been
removed to Nevada, his old stamping
ground, his selection will prove ex
tremely popular there, as well as with
the visiting fans.
Hen Berry has bought another play
er having closed with Second Baseman
Hallinan of the defunct Stockton team.
Hallinan is the chap that Frank Chance
tried so hard to get last winter, and is
said to be another Hal Chase on the
infield, with batting average that is
away up in the skies. He will report
for duty Monday next, after winding
up the State league season tomorrow.
Just where he will be placed is CO.
nundrum, but Hen says he is not let
ting any good things get by him any
more, so he signed him up.
Battling Nelson, the great Dane and
former lightweight champion, wires
from Tucumcari that he will arrive in
Los Angeles tomorrow morning for
very brief stay going on to Frisco and
Reno He will be at ringside when
Jeffries and Johnson tangle ten days
hence Afterward the Battler will re-
turn to his New Mexican ranch for a
long rest and then will try to get back
in condition to win back his champion
ship honors.

TENTS TO HOUSE FIGHT FANS

SACRAMENTO, June 24.-All the
visible supply of tents in Sacramento
has been bought up by merchants of
Reno, and will be used to house visit
ors at the Jeffries-Johnson fight.
Yesterday several Reno merchants
arrived in the city and toured the vari-
Gus tent stores, and bought up the en-
tire supply. At the present time it is
impossible to get accommodations in
in all of the various hotels and lodging
houses.
It is expected that with the supply of

NEVADA GOVERNORS WASTE
BASKET GETS FIGHT PROTEST

CARSON CITY, New, June 24.-Pro-
tests against the Johnson-Je Jeffries fight
both by mail and telegraph continue
to flood the office of Governor Dicker-
son, but so far as any effect they may
have, they are promptly relegated to
the waste basket.
The governor does not intend to in
terfere with the fight in any way. This
was the positive statement of his sec
retary today.
This matter is final so far as this
office is concerned" said Deputy At
torney General Fowler today. "The
law is clear on the statute books. 1t
provides that such fights as the JEFF
fries-J johnson contest can be held un-
der the protection of the law and such
protection will be guaranteed the fight
ers and promoters.

in Nevada is to pass legislation against
it, The present law is on the side of
those who favor prize fighting"

discussing with group of newspaper
men the alteration he had had ear
lier in the evening with Promoter Sid
Hester and which the Nevadan sum-
marily ended by thrusting Hester aside
so forcibly that Hester lost his hat
and glasses.

went on. Every way 1 turn l find

site and digging postholes. Rickard
apparently is not greatly concerned
over the lack of progress made in that
direction. He is resting on the assur-
ance of his contractor that IL necessary
the arena can be erected in four days.
1t Is reported that John L. Sullivan
will make another call at Jeffries' camp
tomorrow as a result of efforts now
making to bring the two famous fight
ers together
William Muldoon, at one time Sulli-
vans trainer and who has come to
Reno to see the big fight, had long
talk with Jeffries today, following
which he stated that Jeffries was not
entirely in sympathy with the rebuff
Sullivan received from Corbett at Mo-
ana Springs yesterday. According to
Muldoon, Jeff will accord John l.. u
friendly reception of the veteran calls
again.

RialtO Gossip

Base ball fans are very much graft
fled at the brace taken by the Angels
and the attendance is picking up as
result. Talk of strengthening a team
is no good without results, but already
the good effect of adding Castleton and
Klein, young southpaws, and WarinS,
catcher, to the lineup is apparent. War
ing is proving up to the claim made by
Hank Berry several days ago, that he
is the best catcher in the league, and
has proved to be a Gibraltar behind the
bat and a bear cat with the stick. In
addition, he shoots the ball to the bases
with the unerring accuracy of a TenneS-
see moonshiner after a deputy marshal,
and it is difficult to figure where he is
weak at any stage of the game. Cas-
Teton has won his first full game
since the return home and showed
flash of that good form expected of
him when he relieved Klein a few days
ago. Klein also is there with the
goods and as soon as his south
paw RECEIVERS from the soreness
caused by too strenuous pitching
in his opening engagement at home, he
will deliver his share of victories. OF
course, Klein is a bit green yet, but
with experience, he will improve and it
looks like Berry had picked up pair of
phenomS in these two. The Angels are
now moving toward the top of the heap
and it is to be a case of get-out- of-my
way from now on. The boys are clout-
ing the ball like major leaguers and
fielding their positions in grand style.
1t is a far different team to that which
went on the last northern trip. While
ernon, Frisco, Portland and Sacra-
mento are standing STILL the Angels are
moving down the Commuters and go
ing up the line. If the fans will turn
out and help some, it is all over but
the shouting.
Clarence Berry, the handsome brother
of Hank and the most ardent rooter in
the local colony of baseball cranks,
celebrated his forty-third birthday
Thursday in quiet manner, but he did
not get away with anything, as Hen
told the story all around and Clarence
had to hide out to keep from setting 'em
up. Clarence holds his age well, prob
ably because he has been living right
and enjoying life all the time. In a
few days, after he cashes several thou
sand dollars worth of bets on Jeff, he is
going to Alaska to tell the boys in the
frozen north how easy 1t was for the
big fellow and look after his gold
mines. He will be gone about three
months and says that when he returns,
