RENO. New. June 27.-One week from
today( the greatest big white man the
world lever saw will face the greatest
back man in pugiIistiC annals
II will be a great day, a great crowd,
and, from what we see here, a great
fight There is no love lost between the
pair, and if ever two men were sore at

the pair. Jeffries is sore at the men
who favor Johnson, and Johnson is just
