I'm going to Chicago on the next

Chicago, where he will report his res
ignation to Ban Johnson, president of

Jeffries' encounters with Corbett
Berger. Choynski and Bob Armstrong
early today were his first boxing bouts
since coming to Reno. He was out of
sparring partners orders to prepare for
the workout Choynski, Berger and
Armstrong faced him for three rounds
each, and Corbett took a turn for two
sessions The bout with Berger was
an interesting one. Jeffries slashed at
his manager with an assortment of
smashing blows. and in the second
round placed a right hook that bent
the San Franciscan and robbed him or
his wind Jeffries asked Berger If he
had had enough after the second, and
laughed when the business agent came
back for more
Armstrong was dropped to his knees
during one onslaught when he was
dancing before the master. The big
sparrfng partner was just breaking
from a clinch when a right body punch
took the fight out of him and ended
hostilfties for several seconds. Arm
strong had a hard time taking care of
himself for the remainder Of the round.
When the two rounds with Burns
we're over Jeffries was rubbed and then

madnder of the day lettering about the
grounds of his cottage, and early in

CATALINA WILL HAVE
SPORT EVENTS ON 4TH
Naval Fireworks Battle Schedule
for I'd and Water Races
on the Holiday

Sports will be the principal feature
of the independence day program at
Catalina island and everything in the
athletic line will be included. On the
evening of July 2 in Avalon harbor
there will be a grand naval battle and
display of fireworks and on the morn
ing of the big day there will be an
athletic program consisting of races
for boys, men and women; a fat mans
race, a potato and egg race and
three-legged contest Suitable prizes
will be awarded the lucky contestants
and there will be no entry fees for
those who are desirous of entering.
The afternoons program will be in
the water. F'ree-for-all swimming
races for amateurs and professionals,
a boys race, a girls race and Wo-
mems race will start the afternoons
entertainment. One of the features or
the program will be the duck race. A
flock of the water fowl will be turned
loose with their wings clipped to keep
them from awaiting and prizes will be
tied to the legs. Al given signal
when the ducks have been given suf-
fcient handicap to make 1t interest
ing, the contestants will be started
from the shore to capture the ducks
The duck race last year was the big
feature for the enjoyment of the shore
crowds and it will be even a greater
attraction this season on account of
the larger number of entries and the
increasing of the value of the prizes
attached to the legs of the ducks.
Water fencing and tug of war will
enliVen the afternoons sport and the
speed and fishing launches will be
lined up for short races across the har-
Dor and from Avalon to the isthmus.

Coast league candidates for the 1910
pennant will resume the fight this aft
ernoon in Los Angeles, Frisco and
Portland. The Angels will have much
easier game this week than last, as
the Sacramentans will be the victims
of a nine-game series, and the Senators
are gracing the cellar championship
seat without opposition or competition.
Charlie Graham, one of the best liked
magnates in the Coast league, will get
a lot of sympathy from the fans while
the slaughter proceeds day by day, but
the Angels will not be in on this sorry
-you-old-chap business. The rest of
forty-eight hours should put the Angel
tribe in the game fresh and full of life
and with a pitching staff that can be
depended upon at all times the ffelders
should play up to the standard of ex-
eellence that featured their games last
week. 1t would be little short of a dis
graceful humiliation for our boys If
they should accidentally lose a game
during the series, while, on the other
hand, nine straight victories will ad-
vance them awfully close to the top
rung. Portland and Vernon cannot ex-
pect to have much more than a see
saw fight for the two weeks they play
will hardly do any better The fans
are showing a commendable interest in
the game now and the daily attendance
has been getting better right along. In
terest, especially of the enthusiastic
sort that causes the fan to sit in the
grandstand and bleachers and make a
big noise all the time encourages the
players and helps to win games There
should be an old-time crowd of not less
than 1000 on duty this afternoon.
George Hancock, who is looking after
the affairs of the Berry Hancock fight
special enterprise, said last night that
the train of six Pullmans had been sold
out and that he had asked for more
cars. He will get an answer from the
railroad company this morning and
hopes to have a favorable one, as ap-
plications for accommodations are
pouring in to his office in steady
stream, and unless the additional
coaches can be had there will be quite
a bunch of disappointed, but dilatory
fans. They have nobody but them
selves to blame, however as they have
been urged every day to get move on
and make reservations. The special,
as now made up will carry 162 fans TO
Reno. If the two extra sleepers can be
obtained just fifty-four more can be
accommodated. 1t looks like there
would be 800 sportsmen from here at
ringside if arrangements for handling
them could be made. Realizing that
one diner will be insufficient to feed
such a bunch of daily boarders, Han
cock has made requisition for another
dining car and says that he has prac-
tical assurances that he will get it.
This special offers the most satisfac-
tory arrangement for fans who intend
going from here to the fight, as it will
be a complete European hotel on
wheels, furnishing bed and board all
the time while away. There will be no
scramble or waiting line at bed time or
lunch time, and that should make the
round trip to the fight as highly enjoy
able as human ingenuity could bring
