FORT WORT It. Teiaa. July 1.—Endowed with
the Idea that It pay* to be a sport If only for
ten minute*. the Panther* stepped Into the
double header with Hoiwton Friday afternoon and
lost no time In administering a 7 to 0 shutout
to the visitor* This victory placed the homs
talent on top of the ladder, where the plorloua
life was crowded Into the time It took the two
clttba to prepare for the second jrnme. The aay-
Ing foes that an hour of this kind of existence
Is worth an age without a name, and It la not
our Intention to question the learned ipiy who
Was the first to look at It that way.
If Morris had used the name tact In conduct-
ing the second g;ime from tike aide lines the
I'anthen might (till he enjoying an unques-
tioned lead He failed, though, and the club
was shut oat, rt to o It was the first l<>Aa
in many a day, hut that had nothing to do
with the case in hand. Morris sent Deardorff,
the club's proverbial hard luck alahman, in to
fact the foe and Dearie lost two spotted. smoky
rounds When they finally hauled hlin away
th* crowd saw through the hate to rend upon
the acore board the glad tiding depicting four
runs for Houston.
Bill I.attlmore waa by far the best firing
llna choice for the second game, a* Weatherford
made It quite plain In the first that Houston had
to eat fV«m the bands of a southpaw.
Roy Mitchell had two lumpy Innings In the
first gam«. the first and the third Fort Worth
connected with hlta, together with an error and
a hit batter At no time did the visitors come,
close to scoring outside of the first. They
opened with a single, and a wulk to Hill put
two on and no one out Weatherford fanned
two of the next three and the third oat was
easy.
Watson ontpltched the local men In the sec-
ond game and was given good support.

T0RREY ALLOWED TWO HITS
Sandcrabs Fielded Well, but Could
Not Touch Giants.
(Houston Post Special.)
DALLAS, Texas, July 1.—The home team gave
Galveston another whitewashing today. This
mskes ten games won by Dallas out of the last
eleven played. Inability to hit Torrey was the
cause of Galveston's defeat. The visitors sup-
ported Garber almost perfcctlv. but only man-
aged to get two hits off of Torrey.

The Crabs have forgotten bow to hit or Dal-
las has the hoodoo on the bats. Two little bin-
glee was all Mr. Torrey let them have.
Chellette also pitched the second game, mak-
ing thirteen and two-thlrds innings he worked
In. He pitched great ball at that.
Coyle and Rlggs got four safeties each and
Jolly three. Mitchell contributed the large
majority of these rationings to the Panthers.
nilsy made both of Galveston's hits. Thebo
found for two of the six Garber allowed. F.very
Glnnt registered a put out. Braun made ths
Crabs' only error.
Only fifty one points between the leaders and
No. 7 this morning. Something's bound to break
—the tension Is getting too strained. Here's
hoping It's Fort Worth.
In the first game Knaupp of the Ends and
Sweet of Bay City each aecured three hits. In
the second, which lasted but five Innings, only
five blngles were made by the two teams.
Doc Andrews has let Perrlne go to Omalia In
the Wsstern league and has secured a new first
Backer In Kemmer of the Western association.
Red Casey is covering the second cushion.
Ths Galveston fans are coming to Honston
Sunday and the Fort Worth rooters will move
on to Dallas. Why not send a San Antonio
crowd to the declslvn battls at Electric park?
Billiard only lasted two Innings, when Frants
replaced him on the mound. The Broncos fonnd
CrowBon in the fifth and fell oirVhlm with a
vengeance. Chelletto was sent in I to stay the
slaughter and held them down. '
For ten fllxzy minutes Fort Worth led ths
Texas league. All alone on the heights of the
mountain Waa to much for the Panthers, bow-
ever, and Deardorff lent a helping hand to the
Buffaloes, who climbed back beside them.
The scores were practically the ssme. and It
was a pitcher's victory in each case. Houston
failed to bit Weatherford and the Panthers
could not find Watson. On the other hand,
Mitchell was easy in the first game and Dear-
dorff In the second.
Heavy hitting featured the two games and a
batter was not in the running unless he made
two blngles. The phenoiuenons were Hohn-
horst with five, Mciver and Yantz with four
and Schan with three for the Nags; Downey
with four and Niagle with three for the Broncos.
Joe Mowrv officiated at second base when
Charlie Mlddleton retired and playeit an er-
rorless game lie was the big batter of the
day, too, with four blngles out of nine trips.
Hub Northen was next with three good ones, all
doubles. Corkhill also made three hits, includ-
ing one for half the circuit.
If Houston wins tomorrow, the club will have
proved Its superiority over Fort Worth. For
winning two games from a home club with a
crlpjiled team, while said home ciub is going
at Its fastest pu-e. Is certainly proof conclu-
sive. As It Is. Houston has shown that the
Panthers lisve got nothing on the team.
There were few changes In the race yesterday.
Fort Worth spilt the double header with Hons
ton. leaving the leadership tied again. San An-
tonio retained its place by winning one out of
the two with Oklahoma. Shreveport passed the
Crabs by simply standing still while the latter
were losing to Dallas.
Jerry Kane Is on his old familiar stamping
ground at first in Salrn's absence. As a mat-
ter of fact, the big fellow from I-ouIsville lias
so far failed to play the classy sack that Jerry
did. He Is uot hitting and his Injured knee
necessarily makes him slower In covering ground.
His magnificent reach is about all he has on
Kane.
And now HubbarC late of Shreveport. Is at
short for San Antonio. Changes in that short
field have been so frequent of late that Scott
Israel Is kept busy writing obituary notices for
one and welcome to our city editorials for an
other. In two short weeks, five—count 'em-
Ore! I.arsen, Kipp. Knaupp, Pendry, Ilubbart.
Next!
If there was ever a doubt as to the relative
strength of Abies and Billiard, it is now ,Hs
peiled, Bince the latter has never been in form
sluce lie took the brunt of the work for the
club when his arm alone was used to keep the
Nags in the race. Big Hal has never been called
on to keep up such gruelling work and Is winning
straight.
While the sale of Knaupp to the Cleveland
Americans will come as n surprise, the Rosebud
shortstop deserves his promotion. He is a fast
Inflehler and a g*«»l hitter. Whether he Is fast
enough to no:he -rood on tile change from class
D to the majors rcuia'.:- to be seen. But those
that have seen him plnyin Texas have full cou-
, fidence iu his ability to make good.
I'ndoubtedly the Giants have a good team.
It Is plnyim.' together nor. and winning. But
let them strike a lrrjlug streak and tliev will
go to pieces. That Is what put them to the

I CAN GET JOHNSON IN ONE OF
THE EARLY ROUNDS, SAYS JEFFRIES
The Sooner I See the Opportunity the Quicker I Am Going to Take It, Declares Boiler-
maker—Neither Fighter Will Be Able to Do as He Has Planned, Says John L.
Sullivan—johnson's Stock Going Up in Betting, Negro Being
Quoted at 7 to 10 at Reno.
BY JOHN L. SULLIVAN.
RENO, Xev.. July 1.—Reno is playing to ca-
pacity and sn.v more urrivais here will crowd
the town uncomfortably. We are going to be
uncomfortable, all right, for there are plenty
more coming. They are on the way from dis-
tant points and great many are ready to
start from nearby places.
The general interest has shifted from the
fighters who will go in the ring Monday, to the
celebrities with each additional trainload pull-
ing into Heno. Big Tim Sullivan. Frank Gotch,
Abe Atte'.l, my old opponent and now my spar-
ring partner. Jake Kilraln. the Mistralian party,
comprising Tommy Burns. Hugh Mcintosh, Bill
Lang and W. Corbett, an authority on sports
In Australia, were the principal arrivals up to
the early morning today.
The two fighters have taken things easy all
day as they promised they would. Jeff's
hardest work was a fishing trip that he got up
at 3 o'clock this morning to take. Ho was
back at Moana. however, by 10 o'clock, and dur-
ing the rest of the day sat around the lawn,
played cards and posed a little for the moving
pictures. This latter feature was a new Idea
of the moving picture people. They stood Cor-
bett, Jeffries and Sam Berger in a row facing
the camera and then had everybody who is of
any prominence at all here, pass the focus
shaking hands with the three men, mean-
while.
The only satisfaction we are getting out of
our time Just at present, is to account to our
newly arrived friends what we know about Jef-
fries and Johnson, and the fight situation in
general.
SULLIVAN ACTING WISE.
We are the wise ones, you understand, be-
cause we have been on the ground first. They,
In turn, will be the wise ones to additional ar-
rivals between now and Monday morning. As
time goes along and the fight Is approaching.
It Is Interesting to note the shifting of opinion.
By this method Johnson is gaining every hour.
The fight conditions has been like a certain
stock lately, with no chance to change the po-
sition on the list, but within the last twenty-
four hours Johnson has taken a turn for the
better in the opinion of the guessers and he is
now quoted in some of the poolrooms at 7 to
10. However, there is little real money being
put up. but the players are very hopeful, for
to them the betting on the fight Is only de-
layed until the last hour. This is actually so,
and. as it should be.
With only two more days before the big
eveut, the Interim will be filled no doubt with
more talk because there will be nothing to
see. Jeffries and Johnson will not perform
for tho populace any more until Monday.
Johnson told me this morning that he in-
tended to keep up his road v.ork in a mild
sort of wav tomorrow and Sunday. I asked
Jeff what lie was going to do. and he said:
"Oh, I guess I will go flshiug from now until
the fight;" but probably will do the same as
Johnson.
NEW IDEA IN TRAINING.
Personally, I think he should do more work
becauso his training has been on a different
plan than Johnson's. If Jeffries wins, his train-
ers will have lutroduced a brand new Idea in
training pugilists. Roger Cornell, Farmer Burns
and Dewitt Van Cort, the savants of the camp,
outlined from tho start a scheme of training
which had for Its object the natural condition-
ing feature, but with the change in the treat-
ment In the muscles departing from all the old
known ideas. They have from the first devel-
oped Jeff In every way possible with particular
attention being paid to keeping the muscles soft,
Instead of hard.
Heretofore. It has always been a fighter's
pride and glorv to show how hard his muscles
wore, but In Jeff's ease it is Just the reverse.
Naturally muscular, it was a task to revolu-
tionize the muscular scheme of Jeff's body, but
the fact remains that today Jeff's muscles are
as soft and as pliable as a lad's.
If this scheme works out well and good, the
trainers will get all the credit that is due them,
for In this particular feature of Jeff's training
he has been overruled. His actual" exercises,
the time and the place he has abrogated ab-
solutely to himself. If he loses he will have
nobody but himself to blame.
I know for a fact that Corbett. Berger and
Choynskl have all along urged him to box trnre.
They being his personal friends, and knowing
him probably better than anvone else, may have
thought he needed more boxing, but in my case
I never laid much stress on this training fea
ture, probably because boxing came more nat-
ural to me than it does to Jeff. I rould hold
my hands up and strike a professional attitude
when I was a very small youngster, but you
know Jeff's Idea in early life was about as far
from the boxing game as the moon is from
Reno. He always wanted to be a farmer.
JEFF WANTS QUICK ACTION.
Both of the principals have outlined a plan
of procedure for the big event Monday. John-
son I told you about the other day; now comes
what Jeffries says:
"I have trained for a long fight, but Just
the same I am going to try and finish it up
quickly. I think I can get Johnson In one of
the very early rounds and the sooner I see
the opportunity the quicker I am going to
take It."
This is a lot coming from Jeffries and thor-
oughly unlike him. As a matter of fact. It is
my opinion that neither fighter will be able
to do as iie has planned. There are so many
things that are calculated to change the trend
of actual happenings. An athlete, if he is any
flood at all. never felt cool and calm and col-
ected when the time arrived for his supreme
effort. I make oue exception and that was
young Griffo. I don't think he ever bad a seri-
ous fnought In his life, nor a full realization of
anything he ever engaged* In. In bis case,
though, his mind was abnormal, and so was bis
prowess.
. BOTH WILL BE NEjtVOUS.
You have read columns about Jeff's coolness
and stolid demeanor, and Johnson's good nature
and refusal to rrgard the coming contest seri-
ously, but just the «ame about 1:30 Monday
afternoon these two fighters will simply be boil-
ing within from sheer nervousness. They may
not show the slightest indication of it, but it is
ffoing to be there, nevertheless. They could not
tave raised the furors that the fight lias done
had not they been .eal human beings, and both
are^ that to a moral certainty. Johnson is far
above the average negro, both mentally and
physically, and Jeffries' past and present speak
for themselves.
Agnin 1 must say that it will be a great fight.
Not because the tw« meji are the greatest two
men that ever disputed the championship, but
because 1 don't think they are, all tilings con-
sidered. but for inanv other reasons. Some day
I am going to write just what' 1 think and
know at>out this coming fight, not that I wish
to convey the idea that there is anything under-
hand going on betweon the two fighters, or
that I havo the slightest thought of such a
thin?, but the peculiar and brand new conditions
which have surrounded the preliminaries of this
great contest should be recorded.
Tills is not the time to do it. Subsequent
events must transpire so that one who has all
these id**as in mind can draw conclusions and
comparisons. It will make a very interesting
story and will do no harm to either J. J. Jef-
fries or Jack Johnson.
MANY KTJMOItS AT RENO.
Jeffries Did Not Break His Arm, but
lawyers Sue Him.
(Associated Press Report.)
RENO, Nev., July 1.—Keno was much per-
turbed by rumors today. They were tlying every-
where, rumors about Jeffries, rumors aDout John-
son, rumors about Ui^kard and the referee: ru-
mors about everything and everybody directly or
indirectly connected with the fight.
Taking the Jeffries rumors in chronological or-
der. this morning he broke his left forearm; at
noon he ruptured a blood vessel in his elbow,
and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon he underwent
an operation for appendicitis. Despite all these
hard luck stories, Jeffries was sufficiently re-
covered at 5 o'clock to look up from a game of
cards Hnd drawl:
"Well, as long as I am all right Monday
afteriK»od, it doesn't cut much figure what hap-
pens to me now. does it?"
The only real affliction to come to JeffrieR dur-
ing the day was one rliat threatened his pocket-
1mm,k. A suit for fcr attorney's fees was
filed against him in the district court by the
local lawyers who drew up the contract con-
veying the fl/liter's share in the moving pictures
to an Kasteru syndicate.
The lawyers a'lege that because of th* terms
of the contract, with tho syndicate's ivpres<*nta-
ti' --. they w»re entitle ! to jit least $5000. They
argue that since, by the contract. Jeffries anil
Tex Rickard. his partner in the deal, would get
£i>»;.i;oo in good hard money as soon as the first
g«»ng tapped on Monday and that even il* not
a blow was struck, that $<W,000 belonged to
Tex Rickard and Jeffries absolutely and they
could throw it to the birds if they liked.

$1500 BET ON JEFFRIES •
Against $1000 on Negro at ©
Reno. »
(Associated, Press Report.)
RENO. Nev.. July 1.—By twos and
threes and tens the visitors surged up
and down the streets of Reno tonight.
In one gambling hall door and out at
th" next the procession wound along.
Everybody halted before the pool room
boarls. but few seemed Inclined to bet.
The wagering remained light. The odds
had dropped from 10 to 7^ two days ago
to 10 to 61*. There seemed little pros-
pect of change.
In the afternoon a wager of $1000 to
9 $1500 on Johnson was recorded.

yer's offices during the day and Rickard did
not appear worried in the least, as it >s supposed
it was all settled to his satisfaction.
Another of the tlock of rumors that gavanlzed
into the life of the corps of newspaper men and
sports that dotted the shady side of Center
street was one to the effect that Sam Lang-
ford would box with Jim Jeffries before day-
light faded. That particular rumor kept the war
correspondents hopping around in circles.
About 5 o'clock it became known that Lang-
ford had come in from the camp to his hotel,
secured a large, fine and iVisplclous looking grip
that fairly bulged with suggestions of boxing
gloves and hastened to Moana. Everybody was
on the Jump again in a moment. The road
was almost destroyed by the bffrrying up of
wheels and the blinding, stifling cloud of dust
did not get a chance to settle for hours.
When the war correspondents arrived at .Jef-
fries* quarters there was no sign of Langford.
He had not ben there, it was declared. The
scribes, greatly disappointed, waited to watch
Jeffries do his last work, a few short sprints,
then abandoned him for the night. Jeffries'
home spurt from his road work was made under
the eye of the moving picture camera.
This probably is the last time the machine
will be trained on him until he enters the ring.
JEFFRIES HELD LEVEE.
Among His Guests Were Several
Fistic Celebrities.
(Associated Pirns Report.)
JEFFRIES TRAINING CAMP, Moana Springs,
NeY.. Joly 1.—Jeffries held a levee toda.y. lie
shook hands with some 200 men and nearly every
one of the lot beari* a niyne known to the sport-
ing world from one end of the country to the
other.
The throng of adherents while shaking hands
with Jeff passed before him a he stood in
front of the moving piotijre machine, and every
Fmile or change of expression that crossed the
big fellow's face was recorded on the film that
will tell the introduction to the "Battle of
July 4."
There were fighters, promoters, sporting writ-
ers and others in the procession that streamed
between the eey of the camera and the pugilist.

After the picture taking was over Jeffries
strolled apart with Abe Attell. The two were
in conference for nearly an hour. Jeffries bent
over the little fighter, listening intently to every
word he Tittered. It was important taik for Jef-
fries. Abe Attell was in Jack O'Brien's
corner when the latter met Jack Johnson, less
than, a year ago. The featherweight told Jef-
fries today that O'Brien made Johnson "look
foolish" on many occasions during the fight.
He said that Jeffries should use the same meth-
od that O'Brien employed against the black
fighter.
Attell joined Tommy Burns and Sam Lang-
ford In declaring Jeffries would win. Aside
from an early morning fishing trip and the levee
today, Jeffries did nothing.
RICKARD WILL REFEREE.

That He Does.
{Associated Press Report.)
RENO. Nev., July 1.—Despite the persistence
of rumors that Rickard does not intend to actual-
ly referee the contest, no tangible ground for
the report could be discovered. Kickard him-
self denied emphatically that he had any in-
tention of stepping down at the last minute in
favor of the New Yorker.
"I am the referee," he reiterated, "and I am
going to do the refereeing."
Here Rickard reached Into his pocket and pro-
duced a roll of bills.
"Here. Just bet that SoO'^ for me that I
referee the fight. That's how 1 feel about it."
Of the officers named, alJ except Jordan are

Ilickard was at the depot to meet Sullivan.
After a brief conference the pair climbed into
an automobile and set out for Jeffries' camp.
Five members of Sullivan's party accompanied
them. When the machine drew up in front of
Jeffries' cottage the fighter came forward.
"Hello. Tim," lie said, extending his hand.
"Hello, .Jeff." replied Sullivan. "I wish you
all kinds of luck, boy.'*
After a few moments of talk with the bio:
man. Rickard and Sullivan whirled to Johnson's
quarters. They arrive*! .lust after the champion
returned from his afternoon road work. The
greeting between Sullivan and Johnson was
cordial and after an interchange of remarks
the two hastened back to the city.

Says It Would Hurt Him to Feel
Any Better.

JOHNSON TRAINING CAMP, Reno.. July 1.
Beyond twelve miles of light road work, with
half a dozen of his followers trailing at his
heels. Jack Johnson did not work today. The

He was repeatedly attacked by liis sparring
partners and trainers in the playful mock as-
saults popular at the resort aud uever lost an
opportunity to set things going on his own
account.
When asked, as he is about every hour of the

BETTING IS NOW BRISK.
Prevailing Odds Are Now 6 1-2 to
10 With Jeff Favorite.
CAssociated Press Report.) s
RENO. Nev.. July 1.—Late tonight when the
day's arrivals had taken their last look at the
fighters and compared notes, the betting aspect of
the situation began to liven up.
Tom Corbett. the betting commissioner, re^*
ceived $5000 from his brother Jim to place on
Jeffries and later In the night received $10,000
from a New Yorker to bet against $Go00 or
better against Johnson. The only other $10,000
bet thus far recorded was made by Andy Craig
of Chicago some weeks ago.
The trainers, rubbers and other camp attend-
ants out at Johnson's camp tonight raised a
purse said to be $5000, which they desire to
bet at 6 to 10. At a late hour tonight this
money had not been placed.
John Bush of Ely came in with $3500. which
he placed against $5000, taking the Johnson
end.
(Associated Press Reports
SAN FRANCISCO. July 1.—Betting on the big
fight was lively here today with the odds re-
maining all day at 10 to 7 with Jeffries on the
long end. Much Johnson money was offered
that the champion would stay fifteen rounds,
but there was no Jeffries coin to cover this.
So anxious were the fight followers to wager
on the probable duration of the contest that the
pool rooms here have announced that tomorrow
they will begin to take money at even that
Johnson will last twenty rounds.
RENO IS A LIVE TOWN.
The Gambling' Halls Are Running
Very Wide Open.
(Associated Press Report.)
RENO. Nev., July 1.—The depot at Reno
was a scene of excitement all day. Every train
from the coast unloaded fighters and fight en
thusiasts at every gangway. So many notables
arrived that the correspondents looked almost
hopeless. It was impossible to talk to them
all, and some escaped bei^ig interviewed.
Later in the day Tim Sullivan, the stake-
holder. took the spotlight, but Frank Gotch, the
wrestler, and a few lesser lights, some of them
from across the Atlantic, came in for a share
of public tent ion.
When the evening shades allowed the visitors
to go out and circulate without discomfort the
sidewalks were solidly blocked with people. All
were talking tight. From a door of a pool
loom a hoarse voiced individual roared offers
of wagers through a megaphone. ^
"Who wants $10 to $6.50? Take a chance,
boys: it's going on inside now. They are betting
real monev. Ten to six and one-half. Who
wants it?
From the gambling halls that lurk behind no
closed doors in this land of license the click of
roulette wheels, the droning calls of the crap
dealers and the clink of coin floated out into
the summer evening.
As the evening drew on and the air cooled
the visitors began to move about the city, eyeing
everything that suggested the big West.
WOULDN'T TOSS FOR CORNER,
Johnson Is Suspicious of Electrical
Apparatus.
(Associated Press Report.)
RENO. Nev.. July 1.—Johnson tonight refused
to permit his manager to toss for corners. At
least that was the excuse made by Tom Flana-
gan when Sam Berger asked him to make the
trial ahead of time- Berger wanted to toss to-
night. but Flanagan insisted tney wait until the
men entered the ring.
"You know." said Flanagan, after the con-
ference with Berger. "w»* may use electric fans (
in the ring; it is not decided yet. We think it
possible that the other fellows may put in
some apparatus that we do not know about and
we are not taking any chances.0
SQUABBLE WITH CONTRACTORS.
Rickard Was Refused Admittance to
the Arena.
(Associated Press Report.)
RENO, Nev.. July 1.—Late tonight there was
a difference of opinion between the supervising
contractors and the local builders and this Is

ing If. Yost, Michigan university's coach, yes-
terday. "Trainers try to keep them clear-skinned,

THE VICTORIA VERSION.
(Houston Post Special.)
VICTORIA. Texas, July 1.—A mob of Bay
City fans, led by Manager Haralson of the
Bice Eaters, drove Umpire Deskin from the
grounds In the first game of a double-header
played there today. Haralson also attacked
Manager Burke of the Victoria club with a knife
and was only prevented from doing him serious
bodily injury by a few cool heads. A peace
officer offered to head molt to ride Deskin ami
Burke out of town on a rail and it is dangerous
for Victoria players to leave their hotel to-
night. This news was phoned to President Ma-
lone of the local association hy a responsible
party in Bay City tonight and Malone has wired
information to President Dickinson, asking for
protection for Victoria team.
BAY CITY VERSION.
(Houston Post Spccial.)
BAY CITY. Texas. July 1.—-The feature of
today's performance at the ball park was a near
riot in which Umpire Deskin was the centril
figure. Deskin has stood for all manner of bull-
ragging from Burke and his Rosebuds during
their four days' stay here, even to permitting
three of them to pull off a tough and tumble
fight duriug the progress of Wednesday's game
without so much as reprimanding them. Burke
and his batteries made a practice of protesting
every decision that went against them and fre
quently indulged in abusive language without
suffering penalty. Therefore today when Plat
zer questioned a decision and Deskin promptly
ordered him to the bench, the best efforts of
half a dozen officers were all that saved the' um-
pire from harm. During the excitement he es-
caped from the park and play was finally re-
sumed with Payne and Vogel umpiring.
