LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14.-Re-
plying to the statements of John
L. Sullivan and Abe Attell to the
effect that the big Reno fight was
to have been frame-up and that
Johnson on the last day refused
to lie down to Jeffries but de-
cided to go in and win, Big Jim
today made a statement in which
he nailed the assertions pure lies.
Still trim of girth, clear eyed,
and clean of jaw, the big boy is
putting in all of his time work
ing on his Cypress avenue prop
erty. Jim didn't mince his words.
He branded the Kansas City and
Denver stories as lies, plain, ev-
cry day lies.
TRAINED and Fought My Best"
Never from the moment
signed articles in New Yorn un-
til l went into the ring at Reno
was there any understanding be-
tween Johnson and myself that
the fight was to be decided in any
way except strictly upon its mer-
its. Any man who speaks to the
contrary tells lie, and 1 hereby
publicly challenge John L. Sulli-
van to prove his statements" said
Jeff.
Still Thinks He Was Doped.
81 trained the best l knew how
and l fought my best. was
beaten and I have kept pretty
quiet ever since. A great deal
has been said about my being
doped. You may now say for me
that l am positive that l was dop-
ed sometime during the last three
days that l spent at Moana
Springs. This is the talk of a
squealer. l have spent a lot of
money and am willing to spend
a lot more to land the guilty
party. Whoever he or they were
their tracks were covered UP so
thoroughly that it is the next
thing to impossible to prove auy-
thing"
Issue Statement.
Before talking further, Jefffies
held consultation with his
brother Jack, and his business
partner, Jack Ripper. The latter,
acting as spokesman, then. issued
the following statement:
John L. Sullivan, who poses
as the idol of the American sport
ing public has charged that the
Jeffries-Johnson bout was a
'frame-up.' He has stated that
the negro posted $4,000 with
| Tex Richard as an evidence Of
good faith that be would carry
out his part of the program and
flop to jim. He further says
that Billy Delaney tipped off to
Jeff the fact that Johnson intend
ed to go through and win if he
could and that Jim ran away from
his camp and refused to return
until assured that Johnson wolld
go throgh with the crooked pro-
gram.
Up to John Il. Now.
This brings us down 70 the
bone of the thing. Sullivan must
have some positive information in
his possession. This being the
case, he owes it to the public,

SPORT CHIPS

Coast base ball fans will
watch with keen interest the race
of the Chicago White Sox next
season. In fact, they will be more
interested in Komiskey's team
than in any other club of the ma
| jor leagues. Three stars who
| have been prominent in the Pa
! cific Northwestern leagues this
season will wear White Sox uni
forms on the spring training trip
and Coast fans are expecting the
entire trio to make good either as
regulars or as substitute players.
They are ping" Bodie of the San
Francisco team in the Coast
league and Jess Baker and Out
fielder Brinker of the Northwest
league, These players have been
stars of the first magnitude on
their respective teams, and natur-
ally the interest and we'll wishes
of the Coast fans will follow them
to the major leagues.
