Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-26

will clean up nearly a quarter of a
million dollars by coming out of re-
tirement, not to take into account what
he will win on the result and what he
will earn in theatrical engagements
afterward. A syndicate has offered him
$150000 to make tour of the world,
and Jeff probably will accept it If he
sees the money in the strong box to
make good such a proposition. This
will be his last fight, and it looks now
like he would die with the honors of
the only undefeated heavyweight cham
piOn of the world.
Frank Keller, brother-in-law to Hen
Berry. returned yesterday from an eX-
tended hunt in the mountains of Hum
boldt county and reports that he
brought back the scalps of two bear
and three panthers as trophies, while
a party of eastern friends did nearly as
well. He would not have returned home
but for his desire to get business af-
fairs arranged so he can be at ringside
July 4 and see his friend, the big boy,
win a few thousand dollars in bets for
him. Keller will go with the Berry
party on the Berry Hancock special,
and there will be quite q bunch of
them in the party.
Reservations are pouring in for ac-
commodations on the Berry Hancock
special at a rate that indicates about
300 passengers, and those who have
not made reservations yet should not
delay any longer, as the accommoda-
tions are going to be extremely hard
to get after Monday. George Hancock
is receiving reservations at his office
in the Wilson building, both phones,
and will be there during BUSINESS hours
every day until Saturday evening next.
The train leaves at o'clock next Sat-
urday night, arriving at Reno the fol-
lowing night. Sleeping and eating ac-
commodations are furnished going and
coming and while in Reno thus pro-
Viding the best and most certain
means of securing these luxuries
(Which they will be at Reno) without
the usual waiting line crush and the
prospect of going hungry and having
to sleep in your shoes. Meals are ex-
ira, but a diner has been arranged for
and will be used until the party re-
turns to Los Angeles.
AL Harder, otherwise and more IA
milarly known as Big Fat AL the Of
ficial timekeeper for years at the Pa
cific Athletic club boxing shows, will
be among those present when roll is
called at Reno He has treated him
holler for Jeff and be heard without
using a megaphone.
Next week should be much easier
pickings for Los Angeles than the one
Just passed, Sacramento being the vic
tim, while Oakland and Frisco hook
up for about a weeks standstill and
Vernon and Portland doing the same
sort of a stunt
Hen Berry was a little scared yester-
day before the game when he heard
that Nelson. the Oakland bear cat
was to pitch, fearing that he would he
too tough for the Angel swatters. He
said that if Nelson beat his Angels he
would raise the rate to Reno to get
even. so it was a lucky thing that Mel
son failed to accomplish his designs
upon the local outfit. Moser and Live
ly probably will give him a chance to
think it over while the double header
is on today.
Lack of Johnson money here is fore
ing local sportsmen to send their JEFF
fries commissions to Frisco and Jack
Kinper will carry several with him to-
night He says he is going to hire
Clarence Kolb and his auto and go on
a hunt for Johnson dough and dare
any of them to bet him that the coon
will win. Los Angeles sportsmen al
ready have Wagered several thousand
dollars and have several times that
amount in reserve If johnson money
can be run to earth. Lack of Johnson
money is apt to keep many thousands
of dollars in the bank,
