Last News From Camps Of Fighters Before
The Great Battle for Worlds Championship
with his attention concentrated.

After the talk Arten said he was
surprised at Jeffries' appearance. He
said that he had been misled by pic
lures of the former champion, and be-
fore seeing that fighter in the flesh
had thought Johnson to 1 favorite.
Now" Abe asserted, 81 think there
is nothing to 1t except Jeffries."
Tommy Burns, from whom Johnson
took the championship, expressed as
constituent at Jeffries' appearance.
Take it from me- he said, John
son has not got a. chance" - '.. ..
Sam Langford had few words to
say on the subject. ~ e..
"Jeffries is the greatest of them ALL"
he said. He's the only man l don't
want to fight. I'd think it a cinch
to get into the ring with Johnson
tomorrow, but it would take a heap of
| money to get me up in front of JEFF
fries.'
Aside from his early morning fish
| ing trip and the levee, Jeffries did
nothing today. He slept for some time
after his return to camp and arose
only when the picture men were ready.
From that time on he chatted with
his friends and greeted new arriv-
ais.
| Beyond four miles of road work with
half dozen Of his followers trail
ing at his heels, Jack johnson did not
work yesterday. The champion has
prepared to little sprinting for the
picture men, but they did not call on
him and he decided to do it in his own
hook. The trip was made late in the
afternoon and Johnson walked most of
the way, which proved a boon to his
followers.
| There were few visitors at the camp.
1t was known in the city that the dusky
fighter did not intend to do any work
except at the dictation of the picture
men, and when the later left for Camp
Jeffries the crowd tagged along.
Johnson arose before 8 o'clock, but
he spent the day either in his rooms
or lolling around the grounds with his
trainers. A number of distinguished
sporting men who reached town today
called on him, but there was little
doing to repay the ever vigilant cor
respondents who travelled out to his
camp. s... ..
The champion plans light road work
and little fmbering up in the GYM
nasiun for tomorrow and Sunday
What he will do Monday morning he
has not said. None of his trainers
Icould give any outline of his pro-
gramme as Johnson acts, as a rule, on
the spur of the moment Before the
| battle tension is noticeable about the
camp--that is, among the followers;
but Johnson displays no sign of con-
seriousness of the near approach of the
Tight, except when some questionel
compelled him to turn his mind to it.,

Reno, New, July 2.-Jeffries held
levee yesterday. He shook hands with
some 200 men and nearly every one
of the lot bears a name known to the
sporting world from one end Of the
country to the other.
The thronging adherents of the white
champion passed before him as he
stood in front of the moving picture
machine and every. smile or change of
expression that crossed the big fell
lows face recorded on the film that
will tell the introduction to the bat
tie of July A.
There were fighters, promoters,
sporting writers and just mere men in
the procession that streamed between
the eye of the camera and the pugilfst.
Among them John L. Sullivan, George
Harting, Tommy Burns, Abe Attell,
sam Langford, Battling. Nelson, Bill
LANCE and Hugh Mcintosh figured. To
each Jeffries extended his hand and to
each he accorded a snatie.f
After the picture taking was over
Jeffries strolled apart with Abe Attell.
The two We're in conference for nearly
an hour. Jeffries bent over the little
fighter, listening intently to every word
he uttered. 1t was an important talk
for Jeffries.
Abe Attell was in Jack O'Brien's
corner when the latter met Jack john
son in Philadelphia less than year
ago. The bantamweight told the I'M
defeated heavyweight that O'Brien
made Johnson 'look foolish" on many
occasions during that fight. He said
that Jeffries should use the same
method that O'Brien employed against
the black fighter. He Illustrated the

Leon KetcheI, brother of Stanley
champion n1ddIeweiqht boxer.

Grand Rapids, Mich, July 2.-The
kid brother of Stanley Ketchel, middle
weight leader, a lad only Is years old,
has pugilistic ambitions. While he
thinks pretty we'll of the game and
wants to break in, brother Stanley
has serious objections. He wants Leon
to go to college and roars every time
the youngster talks of the ring. At
present Leon is in high school.
That he has. the ability to handle the
gloves has been demonstrated locally.
He has taken part in many boxing
bouts in the west side clubs, but as yet
has not gone into the ring strongly
enough to draw any coin. He is a
slugger Of the Stanley Ketchel type.
His right will hurt any boy of his size,
while on cleverness he bids fair to sur
pass his older brother when he reaches
the stage that the champion has.

BIG GAMES JULY 8 AND4
Saint Paul coIored Gephers Here For
a Series of Three Games With
Athletics.

The Athletics will contest Sunday
and Monday for honors with what is
recognized to be the best semiprofes-

the Sunday game. He has won eight
cen straight games.
In the three seasons that this team
has played they have made the envia-
BILE record of winning 311 games out
of 1856. They play CLASSY. ball and con-
duct themselves as gentlemen both on
and off the field. Fargo fans felt sat-
isfied with them last season and the se-
ries this year is looked forward to.
For the Athletics BUSINESS will pitch
the first game and he will be reinforced
by the pick of the men that have play
ed this season. A battery will be fir-
ed to help out in the games on the
Fourth. Richardson, who pitched for
the Athletics against Chaffee will pitch
one of the games.
The game Sunday will be called at
3 D. m. The games on Monday will
be called at 10 a. m. and the afternoon
game at p. m. Umps'' Betinger
