with the cooa was trag-
edy that all self-respecting
sportsmen prefer to forget. No
greater wrong ever was done the
white man than was perpetrated in
the interest Of the gambler on that
fateful day. Big Jim never had
hand i'm It, He was in good condi-
ton physically. but those who put
the dollar above sentiment and
common honesty put over a coup"
there that has left the sporting
world in mourning ever since. A
record that was a proud possession
and a priceless pride was sacri-
feed to the dollar mark, Jim JEFF
fries was doped that day and white
men performed the deed I watch
ed him walk into the ring, dazed
and practically unconscious, and
realized what was coming before
he had DOTTED his cap.
IT HOUSANDS Of others, like my
self went to Reno in confidence
that it would he a fair fight, and
dreaming Of nothing less than an
easy victory for the better man in
that ring. Those same thousands
who returned from Reno have the
same conviction as myself-that
Jeffries was "hopped" and sent into
the ring in a helpless state. Every
body who saw that fight knows
that it was a hollow moCkery to
transfer the undisputed worlds
championship from a white man, to
a despised and inferior negro who
since has justified every predic-
ton Of his enemies in his unnat-
ural and iuhuman conduct. Nobody
who saw that fight win admit that

Fight Expert Still Insists BoIermaker Was Dopd Johnson Fight
LITTLE CHANCE OF JEFF RETURNING TO RING

I'm FLYNN could have whipped

not even hit the big boy today. II
took fifteen rounds for the craven
hearted yellow streak to win that
battle that Flynn could have won,
and would have won, in one or two
rounds 1t was the general ac-
ceptation of the fact that Jeffries
was drugged and made to lose for
the gamblers that has aroused
practically all Of the sentiment
against the fight game. This same
public would bet on JEFF to whip
the dinge today without mo-
ment's training if they we're to
meet on the street or in the ring.
THERE are many who will boot
the announcement that Jeff may
try to get back IN the harness, but
there are many others who would
pat him on the back and believe in
him if he should seriously announce
that he meant business. No friend
Of his would ask him to take a
second beating. but no friend Of his
would decide to try 1t again, be-
cause sentiment is overwhelming in
the belief that he is still the mas
ter of the coon. Many good friends
have tried to get him to consent
to return to the game in the
event that he could get a match

DILL BAILEY, Chicago American
II baseball expert, travelling with
the White Sox, who are now in San
Francisco, has the following, to say
about Jimmy Johnston, former
Baron. being tried out by Jimmy
Callahan:
The work Of the smuggling re-
cruit. Jimmy Johnston. who comes
from the Birmingham team of the
Southern league, is what Callahan
is talking about most today.
It's true he got but four hits.
But the time ne didn't he hit the
ball harder than upon any other
occasion. And managers are i'm the
habit of Judging recruits by the
way in which they hit the ball
rather than by the number OF hits
they get. If they didn't a man who
had luck on his pop flies would
have many a Texas Lacquer regis
tered to his credit.
The big question I'm the mind Of
Manager Callahan was as 20 the
ability of Johnston to hit He
knew he could run the bases.
The recruit stole 81 I'm the
Southern league last year. That
fact. along with what he had al
ready displayed. showed Cal that
Johnston was anything but slow.
He also knew that he could field.
The big question was whether he
could hit
nINCIDENTALLY that is still the
big question Because "A re
Crult isn't made into a regular in
one game and that regardless Of
how hard he slugs the ball.
But Callahan today had Consid-
erably more faith in JohnStOn's
ability to hit You know. four safe
ones in one game is what you call
hitting the ball
Three of Johnstou's drives were
Of the one base variety. while the
fourth was two Dagger. And the
extra base hit was nearer A tluke
than any of the others Ii was a
fly. which fell safe just inside the
right foul line Being a right hand
hitter the fielder naturally was
playing nearer center All the 9TH
ers were low smashes that no field
er could have grabbed
Johnston hit TO an parts Of the
field and gave the impression that
he would be "a mighty hard man 10
play for.
His tNo-bagger. made the first
time ne came To bat. was In right
His next hir fell i'm center The
third safe one was over i'm right,
and the fourth was in left"

Revival at M. E. Church South.

The revival services which began
at the M. e. Church South on Sun
day last are in progress and are OF
a most interesting and hopeful char
acter. The pastor. the Rev. ]. w.
Critics. is preaching good sermons,
full Of earnestness and spiritual up
lift and which are listened to with
marked attention. On Monday night
the Rev. w. B. Corder, evangelistic
singer, arrived and took the lead
ership of the song service. In this
line of work Mr.. Corder is evident
ly at home. He has a strong, mu-
sical voice and knack of inspir-
ing others to sing. He makes good
conductor. Mr.. Corder is not only
effective as chorus leader but Is
able along the line of appeal. He
has been for years a preacher of
prominence in his church, and this,
with his vocal work, makes him
power for good in a revival.
The meeting is being attended and
greatly helped by M mbers and pas
tors of the other Louisa churches.
Many of these take active part in
every service In this connection it
may not be out of place that never.
in the recollection Of our people,
have the various denominations in
this city been as close together, e.
as now. They assist
each others meetings heartily, even
going TO the extent of closing their
churches in order that all could
meet in one body and work for the
good OF all. This is most desi-
rable sort of christian unity.
Services will be held every day
pit 2 and p. m. until further mo-
tice.
