ring career came to a pitiful ending when he fell before Johnson in the arena yesterday, left the scene of his defeat at 7:3O tonight He is headed toward his alfalfa ranch in southern California, and there in the quiet of his fields, surrounded by the hills that he loves, he will try to forget. In the meantime he will spend a few days in san Francisco strengthening up his business affairs
 Jeffries' car was hitched to the regular evening train. He motored in To the city from the camp at Moana Springs with Berger and other mem bers of the party an hour before train tline' and hid himself as soon as pos sible from the curious crowd that still throngs the streets of the worlds fight capital
 In every stumbling movement, in his bowed head. in the depths of his som bre eyes, in the nervous, rubbing of his swollen face, in his blackened eyes and Tn the almost timid shrinking from the public. the great Jeffries showed that defeat had dealt him a vital blow and that he never again would be the man ne was few hours ago There was silence as he passed through the streets. Men rushed forth from the gambling tables to gaze, but no word or taunt or derision was thrown at him. Those who saw that fight and that includes everybody in Reno. know that Jeffries did his best.
 The EmPtyins of Reno.
 Special trains have been pulling out of Reno all last night and an day trying to get the 10000 visitors back home. Thousands stood for hours. grips in hand, at the railroad station, waiting to be the first to chamber into the next train. Other thousands gave it up and decided to wait over for lighter traffic. AS a consequence, the gambling houses were running full blast, and the main street presented the aspect of a iron tier mining camp at the height of a gold strike.
 A determined effort was made by the losers fin the fight betting to recOup their losses and at last ac- counts there were many who will have to wire home for more money. The financial condition of hund- reds hit by the fight and the games is desperate.
 The betting at Tom Corbett's offi- cial pool room was not as heavy as had been expected. Corbett, how ever. declared himself satisfied. The lack of Johnson money was sur prise. The largest individual loss on in, hha fered by Clarence Berry, the Cali fornia oil operator. He bet $35,OOO on Jeffries Among the sporting men left here there is not a dissenting opinion as to the justice of the fights end. Many have nothing but their return tickets to show for their juddg- ment on the outcome.
 A Fighter and a Wit
 Johnson's coolness, his repartee in the ring, the terrible power of his punches, his marvellous judgment of distance, and his almost uncanny quickness and boxing skill, is the talk of the town Men are living the fight over round by round. As long as they live they never will for get the pitiful spectacle of Jeffries at the mercy of the black panther in the fifteenth round.
 What was the matter with Jeff ries, some asked. A we'll known sporting authority who talked with Jeffries this morning answered this question. He was whipped before he left Moana Springs for the ring side" said this man. He felt that he was to fall before the colored fel- low. and 1t was too much for him to face As the hour approached his nervous condition became such that his mind lost all control over his body"
 It began on Saturday and showed itself in various way. On Sunday night he did not sleep a wink but walked about his room and looked from the window Yesterday morn ing he ate little breakfast. When he sat in the corner in the ring. Choyn- ski. as he wrapped his hands, ex- claimed, Why, Jim, your hands are as cold as ice and clammy." His sec onds thought even that he was a lit- tie nervous and that he would get over it in the fight.
