at 1917 From Jeffries
Camp.

San Francisco, June Ex-Governor
Gillett's condemnatory utterances anent
the Jeffries-Johnson fight fell like a
bombshell here. Sporting men and
business men of San Francisco are all
discussing it in all the cafes and while
the consensus of opinion Is that the
governor will not really prevent the
fight, all hands admit that it will have
tendency to keep many visitors out
of the city.
The disturbing news did not interfere
with Johnson's work yesterday, and the
negro put in the hardest ticks of his
present training seige He SPARED
four rounds with Kaufman, who. meets
Langford Saturday, and big Jack sim
ply played with the local heavy.
After the Kaufman bout Johnson
donned the gloves with George Cotton
and he sailed into him without reserve
On one occasion he landed right
hand uppercut on Cottons chin, and
had not Johnson caught him the
chances are that his sparring partner
would have dropped to the mat.
Betting on the fight remained sta
| tionary today. Jeffries is still 10 to
over the champion. Recently San
Berger commissioned Tom Corbett, th'
| local betting man, to bet 81 900 at odd
/ Of 10 to on Jeffries. Johnson had on
! of his camp followers take up the wa

Berger had any more money at sucl

|BARGER SPILLS CUBS
IN FOURTEEN INNINGS
Brooklyn Pitcher Wins His
Game With Double, Down
ing King Cole by 8 to 2.

New York, June 1e.-After winning
three. straight games from the giants,
the cubs went over to Brooklyn yes
terday, naturally feeling a trifie chesty
and took a fearful fall in the first game
of the series. The contest was one OF
the kind that fills the rooters with ex-
element that has a fringe of nervous
prostration. So enthusiastic did the
crowd become that after Barger made
a two base hit in the fourteenth in
ming. winning the gabe, the throng
rushed on the field and carried the
champion off on its shoulders. The
score was 8 to 2. and incidentally 1t
was the first defeat for Cole this year.
Barger, the Brooklyn pitcher, was
the hero of the game. He made four
hits, two two baggers, and each OF the
doubles substantially Jared the cubs
chances of victory. Cole pitched well.
but the cubs found themselves up
against an adamant proposition in Bar
ger and could do little to help Cole
along when it came to scoring. Time
and again, however. their fielding
STAYED off what looked like sure de-
feat, Evers and Tinker being particu-
| larly adept at staving off the end.

PIRATE STARS

Pittsburg, June 16.-Although the
management of the Pittsburg baseball
club is quoted as saying that all diff

adjusted, that harmony is the watch
word, that the boys are all playing to-
gether again and the slump thing of
the past now comes the word from
authoritative sources that financial diff
ferences between Honus Wagner and
Tommy Leach and President Dreyfuss
is the real cause of discussions among
the members. Wagner and Leach ac-
companied Dreyfuss to Pittsburg when
he assumed control OF the club. 1t

bother the oarsmen Both crews were
taken to the starting point, but the
freshies merely padded back to the
boathouse. The seniors got fixed and
at the word Ego" from the coach,
started down the course at rapid clip,
beating into the water with their oars
at a thirty-six- -the-minute clip at
the start. Then they settled down to
a hard and powerful stroke of thirty
two and went clean to the finish in a
most satisfactory manner. At the end
of the four miles they were in the best
of condition.
Last evening both crews again took
to the water, but were given no hard
work. pulling at an easy clip for a six
or eight mile stretch.
