the importance of the strength of charac-

Richard Tells of Incidents in Con.
nection With Fight.

RENO. New. July 6.-"WelI, it's all
over and feel happy today said Tex
Richard. ut went through without a
hitch and We hold the worlds record for
attendance, purse and receipts.
II don't know how much money we
took in. The bank has not finished
counting it, but I figure we will clear
100000 on the gate receipts besides our
interest in the pictures. There were 20,0c0
people in the arena. The seating capac city
was a little over 1900. All the seats
were sold except three or four hundred,
possibly more, of the thirty and forty
dollar places. But there were couple
of thousand standing around the upper
rim of the arena, SO / am confident We
hold the record for prize fight crowd In

If6re the fight for $685." and Richard
took check for the amount from his
coat pocket and handed it around.
LAS 1t stands now. neither Johnson nor
Jeffries has any interest in the pictures.
Jeffries sold his third for $4,000, and
johnson got $4,000 for his.
II don't want to look back over the
past few weeks. 1t is too painful to
think of. I can forget it now that we
came through in such fine shape. 1t was
a wonderful crowd in many ways. No
one ever saw a more orderly one. There
was practically no police protection. but
in spite Of this 10000 men came here,
went through every sort Of discomfort in
the way of travel, loss of sleep and meals,
sat in q broiling sun for two hours. and
yet there wasn't the least sign Of dis
order.
THE only time that there was anything
like disorder was when the crowd at the
gates, cIamoring for tickets, became SO
large that it threatened to wreck the box
office. Then I got up on the ticket booth
and handed down tickets as fast as /
could and Gleason knocked a hole in the
fence and took cash from all corners for
admission without tickets. We must have
collected three or four thousand in cash
at this hole. I took in several thousand,
accepting whatever was handed me. A
lot Of the fellows handed two and five
dollar bills. but l let it go at that and
they saw the fight mighty cheap.
las to the fight itself, you all saw it
and can judge of Jeffries chances as we'll
as l did I saw after Jeffries got that
Jolt that closed his eye that Johnson had
it on him in every way. He did not have
the steam. There was no snap and his
footwork was slow.
while Jeffries was not counted out
Berger getting into the ring before the
count of ten he could not, believe, have
gotten up again. If he had he would
have been such a defenseless mark
don't think would have allowed johnson
to hit him, but would have given the de-
cision then and there"

About the prettiest play OF the season
was pulled off by Fenton Of Post Office
in the third inning. 1t was after the
Commissioners had scored their first tally
and it was thought that more were bound
to come in. Hurley and Hessler were on
second and first, respectively, when Hard

breaker-up. But Fenton put an end to
its well intentioned look by stabbing 1t
with one hand while on the run and by
throwing to first completed double play.
1t was the slickest piece of work pulled
off on the lot this season.
Catcher Kraft was in the game up to
his neck. He complained of an injured
wrist all through the game. but this can
hardly be believed in view of the fact
that he threw to the bases in such good
form. He put down a rally in the fourth
inning, when the Commissioners had a

nobody down, by throwing to second and

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 19. -
With estimates that from 25 to 20
girls were killed or burned to death,
fire which destroyed the Ellis
building today, trapping at least 500
young women, was the worst dis
aster this city has known in years.
Eight girls are known to have
been killed by jumping from the
windows of the second and third
floors.
"The number of the dead must be
more than forty" declared Fire
Chief Naxter this afternoon after
making as thorough an investigation
as was possible at the time.
The origin OF the fire is unknown,
but it spread with great rapidity,
cutting off those who were on the
upper floors of the four story struc-
ture. 1t later spread to three other
buildings.
All four buildings were occupied

large numbers of girl operatives.
The scenes this afternoon about
the death trap where many girls are
known to have been roasted alive
are horrible, and the terrible an
guish of frantic friends and relatives
is such that the police cannot con-
troll it without the most violent
measures.
Many girls were trapped and lost
their lives because they ran to the
front of the building instead of the
rear, where the single fire escape
was located.
1t is believed that at least 20
young women lost their lives on the
second floor. When the fire was at
it's height the hundreds of girls
were making their way down the
fire escapes, out of windows, and
leaping to death or fatal injuries
from the easements, the excitement
was such as Philadelphia seldom
sees.
The other firms in the Ellis build
ing, where the main damage was
done, were engaged in similar lines
of business.
