Contrary to the belief of many
poultry raisers, the possibility of
trouble is not entirely passed when
the pullet chicks no longer need
brooder heat and the cockerels have
been disposed of since growth must
be continued through the hot weather

production, according to w. H. Rice,
poultry specialist for the University
of Maryland Extension service.
This growth and vigor can be main
tanned through the hot days Of late
summer and early fall by providing a
proper supply of water and food for
the pullets on range, and culling of
the flock on the basis of growth de-
velopment and health, and good hous-

- Jim Jeffries was not actually
knocked down and out by Jack John
son. In fact, as referee l did not
count h m out-made no count ar
all.
This statement is made in answer
to several requests have had to
tell just how Jack Johnson knocked
out Jeffries on that memorable
Fourth of July in Reno. =, q.
The end came after it was very
apparent that Jim Jeffr.es was
beaten. Johnson was entirely too
clever for him and seemed to have
more physical strength. Jack was
gradually wearing the big fellow
down and had him webbing about
the ring. In the twelfth round, after
Jeffries had been knocked down and
laid up against the ropes and had
showed that he had no more chance
Of winning Sam Berger jumped In
the ring. -.
That's enough" he said to me
TEX CATCHES JoHNsoN's ARM.
Just as he said it Johnson had
drawn back for final blow and l
caught his arm. That was the end
of the fight. Jeffries was on his
feet. . It was scored. technical
knockout. Of course. In few min
utes Johnson would have had him
out. Sam Berger was very wise and
sensible in stopping it when he did.
For~me the end of that famous
fight was great relief. My job Of
refereeing had. been no trouble at
all. The men fought Clearly. and
there was little for me to do except
keep them at it. -.
The greatest relief, though, was
that the fight, at last, had been
successfully pulled off. I knew it
was a financial success before we
entered the ring. Hundreds Of those
holding tickets for the fight in San
Francisco had exchanged their tick
cts for seats at Reno. The arena
was full. .. :.
JEFFRIES MAKES MISTAKE.
At the very start of the fight,
Jeffrics made the mistake Of trying

that he had the best of me, but it
was not Jeff's tap which caused the
flow of blood. A dispute over a
poker hand and disagreement over
a play in baseball game were
trivial causes of the breach in as
ISOLATION between George Little and
myself. Never once did we have any
misunderstanding over the fight, its
terms, or any other business affair,
as many supposed. 1t was an un-
fortunate circumstance, arising as it
did in the midst of my training and
preceding my meeting with Jetfrles
in fight that was to be significant
in ring annals.

A Governors Friendship


However, l offered to bet HIM
$4,000 that l would win, to indicate
to him my certainty of the outcome
of the battle. Governor DlcKersoI
visited my training camp often ana
we came to be excellent frlenos'
Our friendship, it proved, was one
that was to endure many years. he
has always been staunch and loyal
and was one of my closest advisers
when was in prison, where ne was
superintendent. Ho took great de,
light in watching me train. ! shall
never forget a remark he made one
day after watching me spar with Kid
Cotton. He said, 81 have never seen
a man who can whip Jack Johnson
as he stands today, and l am forced
to bet on him."

to box with Johnson. The darby
was entirely too clever for him. In
the first round however, Johnson
was extremely cautious. He tented
around to be sure Of his ground.
For three minutes. he took. no
chances whatever. Johnson was
very clever ring general. He was
trying to see how far he could go.
When Jeffr.es tried to box him, Jack
began to grin. :.
AS the fight progressed Johnson
knew he was going to win. Then
his boyishness came to the surface.
He could not resist making Jokes.
In one mixup Jeffries missed and
Johnson soaked him a good one.
"Mr. Jeffries," said the darby, his
lips parting in big grin, "ain't no
use in talking, dis Is one time youse
met yo' Waterloo! Jes' go an tell
'em 1 sad SO. Vas, sir-Waterloo is
right"
JOHNSON kids" coRBETT.
The Jeffries crowd still had hopes
and were yelling encouragement
from all parts Of the arena. Jim
Corbett, second to Jeffries, was fol
lowing every move and making
occasional comment. Finally John
son caught his eye. Again he smiled
showed those gold teeth. ..
H. or1yn
ing over the edge Of the ring, you
better come up here and help out
Mr.. Jeffries." :. :.
A few minutes later he spoke to
Corbett again.
CANT do no good out there, Mr..
Jim" said the grinning darky. "This
Mr.. Jeffr:es needs somebody up
here. and right now!" :.
There was never a gamer fighter
than Jim Jeffries. He gave all he
had, but he was up against 1t.
don't know If anything could have
saved him there is no doubt in my
mind that. the. stomach. trouble
weakened him He appeared heavy
and slow moving from the start.
When it was all over 1 hurried
to find out Just how We stood imam
cially.
The receipts for that fight were

have been as golden as that Of Jack
Johnson il I had had the gold
teeth ;, After all the troubles and
irritations I was a big winner.

tory to my training. There were
three of us in the game, Little, Sig
hart and myself. Little did not like
Sighart and often criticised him. 1
liked both of them and had conf
dence in each, and often found it
necessary to adjust their differences.
In the game Little sat between Sig
hart and me. During one game Lit
tie obtained a straight. My hand
was no good and l had laid it down.
Had Better Hand
Sighart had a better hand than
Little, but the latter having more
money was able to bet so strong
that Sighart was forced to quit. The
situation nettled him and he was
not in a good mood, feeling as ne
did that Little was deliberately try
ing to make things unpleasant for
him. I dealt the following hand and
Sighart opened the pot; Little
raised and l stayed; Sighart raised

An Impressive Bout

This observation by the governor
followed a bout which l had just
finished with Kid Cotton, two days
before the fight. l did not wish to
box Cotton on that occasion, pre-
ferring to polish up with Kaufman,
who was more of Jeffries' style and
manner. Cotton, however, was anX-
ious to be seen in action that day,
because a notable crowd was watch
ing US. The kid was unusually &C,
tive and aggressive, and he buttedi
me on the lower lip with his head
which caused me to bleed-some-
thing that had never happened to
me in boxing. Cotton seemed to
be trying to make grandstand
showing, so l gave him his chance.

Separated Him

They had come to blows when I
stepped in and separated them. At
ter that Little declared that Sighart
would have to go. l told him that
he would -not-that / would keep
him. For a week or more we wran-
gled over Sighart. Things were in
a turmoil and, added to the Difficult
ties occasioned by the Governors
action in preventing the fight, my
training was not proceeding pleas
antly or satisfactorily. I told Little
that if any one went it would be
he and not Sighart. This was like
throwing kerosene on a blaze. Lit
tie became vicious and accused me
of intending to lie down to Jeffries.
