effect that the fight had been fixed. That is all foolishness. Often I am asked about it to this day.
 Jeffires had no idea that Johnson would win that fight. If anything, 1t was Johnson who lacked the confi- dence He wasn't so sure. A proof of this is that Jeffries felt so sure of win ming he insisted on 60 per cent of the purse going to the winner. Johnson felt the same way about 1t. If there had been any thought of Johnson lay ing down they would have split the that Jim Jeffries thought himself sure of winning.
 Sse,ooe Jefrs Film Profit
 In justice to Jeffries, by the way, 1t is a fact that the sudden change of climate from San Francisco to Reno affected him very seriously. He con- tracted stomach trouble and diarrhoea. That made him slow and logy and he could not entirely eradicate it by train ing.
 A big item In that fight, apparently overlooked by many at the start, was the moving picture rights. Johnson and Jeffries were to divide their share mistake of selling out his entire pic ture interest for $5o,o00. Jeffries held on to his and 1t netted him S6G, 900.
 Plenty of Fun
 At Reno the preliminary arrange ments took on different air. There was all sorts of fun. The newspaper men really had more to write about than if we had stayed in San Francis co. There was more of the romance of the Goidfield fight about it.
 Johnson kept his admirers and others constantly amused with racing auto mobile and his big bull fiddle. Some have an idea that Jack was not serious hof l. lieve it. He thought himself the great est racing driver in the world and would take any sort of chances.
 And That Hull Fiddle
 Jonnson also knew how to play that big bull fiddle. It was his delight to get crowd of white folks at night or afternoon and make the old bull fiddle snort. He could actually do tricks with that big fiddle.
 Another of his favorite pastimes was to have chicken dinners Always he had "a smile for everybody. It was golden smile, too. It always looked to me as IT Jack Johnson had more gold teeth than anybody in the world.
 There were frequent reports that lief fries was acting ugly and surly while friendly.
 AS matter of fact Jetfries is a big, friendly fellow. He was suffering from that stomach trouble. Try as he would he could not entirely get over 1t. That made him worry. He was not surly or sullen.
 l watched these fellows train be- cause T wanted to learn as much as possible about my job of referee. As the Fourth of July approached that refereeing business made me sit up and think.

The Stubbornness of Style

Many style, like the fabled cat, has nine lives. Shoot it; drown it; hang it; quarter it; smother it, yet up it bobs, meowing insistently and ire pressibly Take turn-ups on trousers, for example. Not so far back, the fashion arbiters in London resolved that so-called "cuffs" on trousers for town and business wear must go. They have been going to go for some time, but they haven't gone yet. Indeed, the full 2-inch fold has supplanted the 3-4 turn-up in the preference of many young men. As q matter of fact, perm anent "cuffs" will probably never be dropped from favor, no matter what self-appointed stylists may decree.
 Then, again, take the single-breasted suit with the double breasted waistcoat, as pictured in the accompanying sketch. This fashion is not new. In q way, it has run it's course. Yet, youngsters are still partial to it, because it looks smart and becoming on the slender, we'll set-up figure, the short, square waist coat conveying the impression of greater height and length of limb. The pleats at the tops of the trousers are also a long familiar style. Nevertheless, you see them here; there; everywhere. Which goes to show, as the village octo- genarian would say, shifting his quid from the right to the left cheek, that you cant kill a fashion people like merely by declaring it official dead. The man-in- -the-street has something to say about it.
