JEFF AND JACK
ASSOCIATED Press)


In the long list of decisive ring
battles through which the mantle worn
by Sullivan has passed down TIE
years to the bronzed shoulders of Jack
Dempsey, there is no page to compare
with that recounting the clash be-
tween Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries
in sun-scorched arena 1t Feno on
July 4, 1910.
Tex Rickard reared a great wooden
saucer out on the plains of New Ida to
accommodate the thousands who
gathered from all over the country to
see the tilt. He hung up a purse of
S101 900, an unprecedented prize in
those days.
Jeffries had not fought in more than
five years. In the days of his reign
in the ring. none had been his master
and he had retired voluntarily with
no defeats recorded against him. He
was 35 years old, an age on his part
to restore the championship to the
white race was an effort to which he
had been induced by constant elamor
from those who despaired of johnson
ever being beaten by the crop Of white
hopes then seeking matches with him.
1t was a great throng that assem-
bled for the battle. Fringed around
the great arena packed were rows of
4 ~ 80 uA be
sweet sisterhood from the Reno d.
vorce colony. To them the fight was
a charming break in the monotony Of
serving times Jeffries trained down
to 225 pounds to meet the sleep oppo-
nent three years his junior and then
in magnificent physical trim. There
was vigorous fighting at the start,
with Jeffries crouched into serious
mein and his opponent erect. grinning
and talking as usual.
In the fifth round Jeffries sent a
sray left that rocked johnson and
momentarily wiped away his smile.
But the worried look on the black
face passed, big white teeth again
cleaned and through them came the
admonition "Don't rush, Mistah JEFF,
doncha heah what ann tellin' you?"
"Come on, JEFF, it's easy" he re-
peated often through the bitter
rounds.
Age and FIVE years of freedom from
the rigors of training told on Jeffries
and the power of his blows grew less
strong as the battle went on. In the
fifteenth round-the last one-John-
son sent him to the ropes with saw
age uppercut. against the dropping
head of the weary white man the
black fighter pounded away with one
uppercut after another.
The challenger had tried and failed
and he fell taking punishment. His
manager hoped into the ring 70 stop
the slaughter whereupon Rickard held
up Johnson's hand in signal of We
tory.

PRIZE FIGHT WILL DRAW
LARGEST GATE RECEIPTS

New York, June 22.-The Dempsey
Carpenter boxing bout for the worlds
championship at Jersey City, July 2,
will draw the greatest gate" in the
history of sport.
A month before the fight, Promoter
"Tex" Rickard announced that the
seat sale totalled S650.0OO. Since that
day, the sale of all seats has gone on
briskly except for the $50 paste
boards, which are exhausted, and the
general admission tickets, to be plac-
ed on sale the day of the fight. Rick
ard estimates that approximately
5000 persons will pay 81 100000 to
view the ring action at Boyle's Thirty
Acres.
Those figures will eclipse by far al
previous records for ring contests OF
any other sport in this country. The
Willard Dempsey battle at Toleda. G..
which established the previous record
drew s451 900 at the box Office, puny
figure as compared with what the
coming spectacle will attract.
The Harvard Yale football game
and the indianapolis Speedway Race
are annually reckoned among the
largest and most widely patronized
sporting events in this country. Last
fall, 10000 persons were jammed into
the Yale bowl when Harvard met the
bulldog and the total receipts were
approximately s250,OOO, about one
quarter of the amount which will be
paid for the coming fight.
