ing through the ropes; if you had seen that
great, rugged face yesterday then to-
day, bruised, cut, beaten. But that was not
the worst of it. Working with the enor-
nous bitterness of defeat as he left the
arena, there lay the brutality-in that bit
terness.
He stood forth in front of the roaring
multitude; he was stripped, his brazen skin
was clean, unmarked He faced johnson

shook from his steady face. The proud smile
of an unbeaten man, he walked out into the

And it was over.
OLD, OLD STORY
There's no use; it's the old, old story,

Before him, half supported by his train

the bitterness of many lifetimes showing
from his face. A proud man beaten, a
huge man knocked down and out, fighter
who could not fight as he had once fought.
And men and women were able to laugh
as they went home And / heard one man
say that he was glad it wasn't brutal.
And listening, / thought of the years to
come, when this hero of yesterday will try
to forget he is not of today.
JEFFRIES NEVER READY
Jeffries was not ready. At no stage of
the game was he ready. He was always
looking for something which was not there
for an opening. And he faced this Frank

machine Of flesh and blood and bone and
nerve. johnson had everything speed,

psEsL4TrrRY eraled and outgamed by the
black champion. The humane act Of his
manager, Sam Berger forestalled the punch
which johnson was ready to lay Jeff with.
Berger stepped into the ring and tossed in
the towel as the former undefeated heavy
weight Champion blind, bleeding, dazed and
defeated, was in the act of rising to his feet.
It was fortunate for him that he did not
complete the act.
Imagination can not picture the pitiful
spectacle which this man Jeffries, the hairy
monster, the hitherto undefeated gladiator
presented. For the first time in his life he
found himself upon his back with his oppo-
nent standing grining over him, grinning
the grins of the victor, a grin of hatred,
malice and revenge.
Jeffries was powerless to defend him
self Perhaps he knew after the first few
rounds that the bitter end must come soon,
but the expression on his face as he lay
helpless on the floor of the ring, under the
blazing rays Of a Nevada desert sun told
only too plainly that the full realization of
his worst fears had been realized.
TAKES COUNT OF NINE
Jeffries took the count of nine on three
occasions. The first time he went down he
rss[eas within few feet of his own corner. A
short left hook to the jaw and the "hope of
the white race" fell helpless, quivering
mass outside the ropes and all but into the
arms of jim Coffroth, the man for whom
Jeffries has fought more battles than any
other promoter.
The expression of defeat was visible on
the face Of Jeffries as he lay prone. At the
count of six he made weary motion as if
to rise, then he settled back again as he
caught a glimpse of the towering ebony
like statue glaring and grinning at him.
RASH FOUL COMMITTED
Jack Jeffries, the brother Of the van
quished heavy weight, madly dashed to the
side Of the fallen man, and, grabbing him
with both hands, frantically lifted Jeff to
his feet. 1t is question as to whether
jeff ever would have risen but for the as
sistance of his brother, but, anyhow, Jack
committed rash foul, and had Referee Tex
Rickard acted in accordance to the rules, he

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
 FOR DEMOCRACY

Washington, July 2.-(Special Jour committee will wage vigorous contest and expects to have It's labors rewarded by the election of a democratic House of Representatives in November'' said Chairman Lloyd of the democratic con gressional committee tonight.
 Conditions generally are very favor able to the democrats and contrary to the expression that has been given out by some newspapers recently we feel confident that the work of the adminis- tration and Congress during the last two months has had the effect of improving the democratic prospects and no one need think that because of some of the statements that have gone out to the contrary that there is any hope of unit Ing republican factions. The republican party is seriously divided and must re- main so until after the November elec- ton.
 'The issue will be sought out mainly upon the tariff and it's consequences. The extravagant expenditures, wrong doings of officials, the graft that is shown to exist in nearly every branch of the gov ernment, and the autocratic ruling of the majority will all be factors in bringing about a democratic victory in Novem- ber,"

Des Moines, Ia., July 2-Pleading for a united party and urging the elimina- ton of rancor and strife many county conventions in Iowa today adopted res olutions calling upon President Taft to remove from his cabinet those who have attempted to read the insurgents out of the party. The resolutions which we're adopted by large majority of the progressive counties rang with a hearty endorsement of Senators Deliver and Cummins and the Iowa congressman who fought the tariff bill.
 In the resolutions President Taft was endorsed only in so far as he has made effort to carry out the progressive principles he announced. Concerning the removal of the cabinet members the resolution says:
 We urge the President to remove from the cabinet those members who

Reno, New. July 2-(SpeciaD-Reno holds the distinction tonight of housing more prize ring celebrities and more pugilistic experts than any other city on the face of the planet Earth. Fol lowers of the noble sport of fisticuffs are gathered in this sagebrush metro- polls from all the far away sections of civilization. They have come from Eng land, Europe, Asia, and Australia, not to mention all parts of the United States and Canada.
 Reno Is the mecca, the lodestone the agnet which has drawn prize fighters, fight followers, sports, gentlemen ad-' venturers gamblers from everywhere.
 The general opinion is that Jeffries
 is going to whip Johnson Monday. Such men as Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Corbett. Tommy Murphy, Sam Langford. Bat Masterson, Bob Edgren. John L. Sullt- van. Tom Sharkey, Sam Fitzpatrick and others who have made a study of the two men. all are united in the opinion that Jeffries will have an easy time putting away the negro.
 On the other hand Billy Delany. Bat ting Nelson, Stanley Ketchell, Joe Cans, Tom Flanagan and others pick Johnson to win.
 Others, like Billy Muldoon, former manager of John L. Sullivan and Mike Murphy of the University of Pennsyl- vania are holding aloof.
 Expressions have been gathered by representatives of the Publishers Press from many of the best known sporting men now here. Their opinions follow: Jim Corbett's Opinion
 By Jim Corbett-There is no doubt in my mind that Jeffries will have an easy time defeating Johnson. As have always said, Johnson (and all ne- groes. in fact), are imbued with a tra- Iditional yellow streak. Jeffries will enter the ring as fit as he ever was. I expect him to knock out Johnson around the twelfth round. The change In training quarters has done Jeffries no harm. He Is ready to undertake any battle he ever fought.

 ze the good points of Johnson's ring work, but even those are offset by the fighting ability of James J. Jeffries. Jeffries is a fighting man, pure and simple. He is not a boxer. He's \ fighter. And yet, he has the most of the good points of a skilled boxer The battle here on Monday is going to be a great one In view of the fact that it may be the last big one in the United States, 1t has a peculiar interest.
 By Robert Fitzsimmons-I know some thing about the punching ability of James Jeffries and I believe he still retains all his old-time strength and craftiness am assured by men who have been with Jeffries since he started to train at 'Ro- wardennan that he is in just as good condition now as he ever was in his life.
