LOOKS FOR A
BIC FAKE
The Governor of California
Says that Jeffries John
son Will Be a False
Alarm.

Chicago. June An prize fights
are fakes. | don't want to have any
thing To do with them or with anybody
who has any interest in them"
Governor j. y. Gillette. of Cali
fornia. thus expressed his opinion OF
ring contests today when questioned
about an interview in which he had
declared the Jenries johnson fight
is "frame-up
The Governor said he would gladly
stop the coming battle for the worlds =
championship If he could. but that "all
iorts OF frauds are allowed and no.
body has the power to stop them
Sometimes mans public views do
not agree with his private attitude. 4"
added the Governor. Now that my
private views have become public. I
don't care a continental what anybody
thinks of them. ] know what think.
think that every prize fight is a
fake. This Jeffries-Johnson fight Is
simply a scheme to make lot of
money out of the credulity of the peo,
pie. JW,uEWy
Anybody with the least sense
knows the whites of this country
won't allow Johnson or any other mig.
ger win the world championship from
Jeffries. They simply won't stand for
it. Johnson knows that. He's no fool.
He knows that to win the fight he
would have to whip every white man
at the ringside He knows he would
not only have to whip Jeffries, but the
spectators, the police and every white
man that could get at him. When the
big Championship battle is ended on
July 4 every white man in the coun-
try will be told that a white has dem.
ontsrated the physical superiority of
his race over that of rival race. and
every one who has no sense will re-
Joice in the victory. After vindicatinp
the confidence in him, Jeffries will
retire, and Johnson will make more
money out Of the credulous fools OF the
country.
There was no chance to get JEFF.
fries back into the ring until he was
assured that he would win. Jeffries
doesn't need the money, and while he
may be patriotic and willing to bear
the white mans burden. there were too
many chances for him. He had moth
ing to gain. johnson, on the other
hand has little to lose, and prospect
Ct getting a lot of money.
Suppose the whole affair were not
frame-up? What chance has John.
son to get away with a victory? None
At all He would knock himself 1,i. I;
he had to avoid winning. This JEFF
fries-Johnson fight is what a race tout
calls 'lead-pipe cinch.' It will no
doubt be a fine sparring exhibition. as
that is needed for the motion pictures.
but when the time comes, Johnson will
lose
Il would like to interfere if could.
II had the power, I'd quickly stop the
fake but all kinds OF frauds are per.
mltted by law, and nobody can stop
them Foot races and prize fights
are two Of the worst of these frauds.
The only thing that will Justify ms
interference would be a riot and
don't think that viii occur"
