BY BILL AK

Ben Lomond, Cal, June 12.-(Special.) Nat Goodwin came to Ben Lomorf the other day. and he accompanied me Governor Gillett.
 We were commissioned by the boiler maker to learn first hand just what Gillett did say. This we did not learn but found out to our satisfaction that Gillett does not believe Jeffries will wir the July battle for Anglo Saxon supremacy by the terms of a frame-u up Nat offered to buy the governor q drink, but the invitation WAS refused Instead, he invited us into his own wine cellar. and there between sips of the bottled laughter of the girls of France we talked of seas, of winds and whether whales have wings.
 Not at all, gentlemen" said Gillett Please convey to MT. Jeffries my com. pliments. my denial of the scandalons report, and my best wishes for butch cred Johnsing July A."
 Gillett and Ward The governor is all right He's d gooo fellow. When the reformers of the Stop the Fight" club got on his trail he backed into a corner defying. then all Do you remember when G. Waro has such an experience down in Bir- mingham? We'll, Gillett handled the people as easily as Birmingh am's Mayor did, and with as much credit to him. self. So pleased were we over the gov ernor's attitude in regard to the fight and other matters that Nat is seriously considering taking the stump for him when he runs for office next year, and l have agreed to write several tren- chant diatribes in his behalf
 Those Crying Fake When We returned bearing tiding oi great joy, Jeff was pleased-as much pleased in fact when he heard of the governors denial, as he was angry when the false doctrine was circulated The fight is to be won by Jeffries beyond all question. But the frame up story is an outrage. The man crying fake" was born with the world. He doubted the story of J. Caius Caesar He doubted the run of the original Marathon sprinter. He doubted the love lo of Cleopatra and Antony. He smiled derisively over the news of the fall ol Napoleon. He boisterously denied the good intention of Patrick Henry whe he uttered that liberty or death" senti. ment.
 What Famous Bobo Says It required four millions years t, construct the temple of Cheops. Ye ho ierip pile, Bobo, the ancient Egyptian phil osopher, inscribed a self-evident trutl concerning the crier of fake" So, il our own good time, that the man wh, believes everything crooked is abroad in the land, there should be no sur, prise. He is here today, and tomorrow | in our midst he will be.
 But the fight is to be on the level.
 Johnsing will go to any length t, retain that belt which stamps him tn, greatest boxer of the world, not onl, of his own race, but of all races.
 And Jeffries will go his length t, hammer the heart out of the smoke to re-establish himself as the greates man who ever stood in the ring, an, to retire with that rich content whicl can come alone through victory
 Jen Wants Fifteen Rounds
 I do regret that Tex Rickard Is t lreferee.
 He is promoting the fight, as yo, know, and the fact that he will boss tn ring during the strenuous battle give occasion for the crier of fake to get il his good work. There Is no doubt bu that some people, on this account hay become skeptical. But remember, lief fries stood for Eddie Smith, and John sing practically forced Sam Berger f, accept Tex.
 l venture the prediction that the figh will be the most strenuous ever fought i, America. l venture the assertion that th, coon will be knocked out within the if teenth round. And I venture the asser tion that thereafter the pugilistic gam will decay. And I hope it does
 BerEer's Pride Slashed ,
 The published report to the effect tha Jenries will decorate Samuel Berger witt the tin can degree was keen slash t. the family pride of the manager. I You know, he believes he Is the groun on which the fight will occur, the etherea sky above, the sea and all that is in and isn't.
 But the knockout was only monetary and within an hour after the origina publication Berger had written a dozel stories containing a denial by the boiler maker. and praising himself extravagant ly. Were the gallant Sir Nigel in Califor mia today, he would have good cause fo great pleasure and advancement, an, were his keen biting blade to pass witt a nicker-snack through the spulseles ribs of the disciple of managerial inabil ity, the world would roll along just as a present.
