JEFFRIES TRAINING CAMP. MO-
ANA STRINGS, RENO, Nev-- July -
While few students OF form expect
the Jenries-JohnsOn fight 20 go forty
i've rounds, many have begun to fig
IRE on the things that may happen IL
the battle goes the fun limit with
nothing 20 choose between the fight
ers.
JefTries. Il has been asserted within
the past few days, with more conf
,lence than at any time since he de-
cIared ne had come back can go the
full route with ease The same claim
is made for Johnson, But what If
they go fOrty-ive rounds without
either having a sufficient shade upon
which 10 base a verdict VIII Jenries|
stand for a draw after all the Clamor|
about the restoration Of the heavy
weight crown to the white race
On behalf OF Johnson. Tom FIaua-

scribed limit without the referee be-

Johnson viii fight until either he OF
Jenries Is knocked out
Jedries' camp mates treat with scor1
the suggestion that Johnson viii IaSt
fOrty-fivc rounds The most peSsimiStIc
man at MOana does not coucede that the
negro viii be on his feet more than
thirty rounds, and the possibility of 4
draw has never entered their heads

Berger Sidesteps-
What's the use Of crossing a bridge
before You reach III The fight isn't
going forty-five rounds. and Johnson
need not figure that II VIII be necessary
for Jefrics TO so into extra rounds TO
reach a decision
Would Jefries go beyond forty-five

Whatever BeTgeT'S feelings may be

greater confidence IN JeTITleS ability

preparations that are being made.
