JOHNSON PACKS AUTOS
AND PREPARES TO DEPART

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21.-Jack
Johnson has been the last to desert the
ship. Although there has been a gen.
eral exodus of newspaper men, pro-
moters and fighters the last few days
in the direction of Reno, Johnson has
remained on duty by the sad sea
waves. But the telegram that came
from Manager Tom Flanagan today
announcing that training quarters had
been secured at Reno and that every
thing would be in readiness in two
days caused the negro to issue march
ing orders. He will leave for Nevada
Thursday night at 8 o'clock.
tomobiles were prepared for shipment
and with less caution the gymnasium
apparatus was stored in crates and
marked in lamp black:
Jack Johnson, Reno, New, u. S. A. b"
John L. Sullivan was a visitor at
the camp Of the black man. He was
greeted cordially and posed with john
son for the photographers. Johnson's s
splendid condition impressed the for
mer champion and he congratulated
his host.
Although on the eve of breaking
camp Johnson put in a strenuous day
of training. He sauntered over the
beach roads for nine miles in the
morning and in the afternoon went
eight fast rounds in the gym. AL
Kaufman stood before him during four
of the rounds and George Cotton took
the rest of the pummeling. 1t was an
nounced today that Kaufman will be
in Johnson's camp at Reno.

announcement shortly after noon to-
day of the selection of the battle
ground for the Jeffries-Johnson con-
test was made in the form of written
statement, as follows:
REASONS FOR CHOICE
'I have decided to hold the Jeffries-
Johnson fight in Reno. In making the
selection, I wish to give my reasons
for doing so. Goldfield made an offer
which it was hard to turn down. They
are the gamest lot of men I ever saw.
This morning q committee of Gold
field business men offered to take me
to local bank and guarantee me a
gate of 100000. I decided on Reno,
however. for several reasons.
I'm the first place, 1 did not feel
that fight fans of the east and west
should be compelled to take the extra
twelve-hour ride across the hot desert
to Goldfield. Then, again, the people
from San Francisco can get here the
morning of July and leave the same
night In order to be back to their
business Tuesday morning. For this
reason I think probably one or two
thousand more will come from San
Francisco that would not go to Gold
field The Reno people have done all
they could. They will build a suitable
arena and buy the $1,000 license for
me (Signed) "TEX RICHARD"
The Goldfield delegation, which had
made determined effort to swing
the Battle of the Century for Rick
ards home town, received the an
nouncement with expressions of regret,
but with promises to boost TeXs
game" to the extent of their ability.
Reno's fans are wildly elated over
the outcome of the contest with Gold
field. The city's fight committee prom
ises to make the necessary prepara-
tions for the accommodation of all who
come for the big fight
Jeffries, and his trainers are ex-
nected to arrive here tomorrow, and
Manager Flanagan has sent tele-
gram to johnson advising the negro
champion to lose no time In reaching
Reno.
Another large delegation of newspa-
per correspondents arrived today from
San Francisco.
Promoter Hester has not yet sue
ceeded In securing permission from
Richard to stage the Ketchel-Langford
fight in the Jeffries-Johnson arena on
the morning of the Fourth.
Rickard was persuaded to look
over several locations with, a view TO
reconsidering his selection of the old
Hart-Root site for the big fight. Rick
ard, however refused to change MS
plans. He said that work on the arena
would be begun tomorrow.
Richards former partner, Ole Elliott,
received telegram this evening from
James d. Finch, secretary to Governor
Dickerson, stating the governor would
not interfere with the fight The tele-
gram stated the governor would be at
Ely tonight.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-22
FAssociated Pressl

RENO New, June 21.-With Reno
definitely selected as the battle-ground,
with positive assurance from the gov
ernor that no attempt to interfere Will
be made by the, authorities and with
preparations already under way for
building the arena, the Jeffries-John-
son fight tonight seems certain of full
fillment July 4. No further complica-
tions are anticipated, and Promoter
Tex Rickard is promised the first quiet
pillow that he has shad since Governor
Gillett issued his ultimatum that the
contest could not be held in Cali
fornia.
The selection of site for staging the
big fight was made this afternoon. 1t
is a rock-strewn field in East Reno,
about a mile and half from the heart
of the city, and is familiar in ring his
tory as the scene OF the Hart-Root con-
test July 4, 1906.
Ii is regarded as an ideal location, as
it affords plenty of ground for spa
cious structure and is within easy
walking distance of the city On one
side it is f1anked by the tracks of the
Southern Pacific railroad and on the
other by trolley known as the Reno
Sparks Interurban railway. Contractor
Mclaughlin went over the location to-
day with Rickard and the Reno fight
committee and Immediately began to
carry out plans already prepared lor
the construction of the arena. build
ing about 300 feet square, modelled
along the identical lines of the struc-
ture begun in San Francisco, will be
put up. 1t is hoped to have 1t COM
pleted by the first of the month. No
change will be made in the original ar
rangements of seats. Plenty of lumber
Is said to be available.
TRAINING QUARTERS CHOSEN
Another selection made this afternoon
was training quarters for Jack Johnson.
Tom Flanagan, the champions man
ager. after looking over several sites
finally settled on a road house three
miles southwest of Reno, known as
Rick's resort. According to Flanagan.
1t is an excellent place for a training
camp and affords all the necessary
facilities.
Jim Jeffries will be stationed at
Moana Springs, three miles south of
Reno. Nothing is lacking at this place,
according to Manager Bergers repre-
sentatives who have looked over the
resort, that could be desired in con-
nection with fighters camp. Natural
hot and cold water springs, an open air
pavilion already provided, comfortable
sleeping quarters and nearby fishing
streams and lakes, are among the in
ducements offered by this place.
A double fight bill will be Reno's

JEFFRIES AND PARTY ON
WAY TO RENO IN SPECIAL
Bio Boy Lucky at Cards and Cor
respondingIy EIated

OAKLAND, June 21.-James JEFF
fries, accompanied by his wife and his
entire staff of trainers, with the eX-
ception of Jim Corbett, arrived here
from the deserted Ben Lomond train
ing quarters shortly before o'clock
tonight. The party remained until 3
o. M, when Jeff and his party left on
special train for Reno. On the trip
from Ben Lomond the big fellow whiled
the hours away In heart game with
Joe Choynski, Dick Adams and Col.
Kowalski.
Contrary to his usual custom Jeir
nodded out the car window pleasantly
to those waiting at stations to see him
along the line, and to better his good
humor he was successful and won most
of the money In the card game.
Before leaving Ben Lomond jeff put
in a good mornings work. His labor
lasted over an hour and included
snappy punching of the bag. rope skip
ping. shadow boxing and exercise at
the pulley weights. 1t was by far the
most impressive workout INDUCED in
by Jeffries for the past two weeks.
Jeffries expects to be back at the
grind tomorrow afternoon in Moana
Springs, which resort has been decided
on as the place at which the finishing
touches will be put on.

NEW YORK TO SEND ONLY ONE
SPECIAL TRAIN TO BIG FIGHT

NEW YORK, June 21.-Since the an
nouncement was first made by Cover
nor Gillett that the Jeffries-J Johnson
fight could not take place in Califor-
MIA, many special trains planned for
the benefit of the New Workers have
been abandoned and the fragments of
all these abandoned specials will be
gathered together, making it probable
that only one special train will be sent
to the fight. According to plans given
out today, this train will go first to
San Francisco, leaving there for Reno
on the night of July 8, arriving early
on the morning of the Fourth. The
train will leave there Immediately af-
ter the fight.

to succeed the London prize ring rules
that governed all fights held previous
to 1892, gloves are substituted for bare
knuckles, rounds are limited to three
minutes, with one minute of rest be-
tween each round, instead of the
rounds being determined by knock
downs, as was the case under the Lon
don prize ring rules, and decisions are
rendered upon total points scored by
each man or by a knockout, instead
of forcing every fight TO a finish and
requiring a knockout or acknowledg-
ment of defeat to end the bout.
DECISION ON POINTS
The greatest difference between box
ing and prize fighting, as explained by
McCarey, is that under the Queens
berry rules these days all contests are
limited to a certain number of three
minute rounds and g decision is rem
dered on points scored by the boxers,
whereas, under the London prize ring
rules, which governed all prize fights,
every bout was a finish affair and
there was no limitation to the number
of rounds or their duration. as knock
downs constituted the length of the
rounds. In other words, under the
Queensberry rules boxing is a contest
OF skill alone, while a prize fight is a
contest of human endurance and bru-
tality.
Abe Attell, one of the principals in
the proposed bout Friday night, re-
ceived a telegram yesterday from
Louis Blot, one of the promoters of
boxing contests in San Francisco, in
which Attell and Moran were asked to
go to the northern city and box ten
rounds Saturday, Blot saying further
in the telegram that Governor Gillett
had said that the Attell-Moran bout
was solely a boxing exhibition by two
of the cleverest boxers in the world.
This is taken here to mean that the
governor will draw a distinction be-
tween boxing contests and prize fight
ing and that Blot will try to copy after
the Los Angeles methods in staging
ten-round no-decision bouts there.
1t is regarded as practically certain
now that unless some information of
a reliable nature is received by Fred
ericks in the meantime to prove that
the Attell-Moran bout is to be prize
fight the bout will be permitted and
that the future of the sport of boxing
here depends upon the result of the
investigation which Fredericks will
make.
