TIIE MORNING OREGONIANV TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1910. CLEVER JOHNSON DOWNS JEFFRIES Crushing Defeat Is Fate of Big Fellow Who Tried to : "Come Back." 15 ROUNDS ARE PATHETIC Black Man Clearly Proves HlsSu periority and He Is Proclaimed "World's Champion When He Knocks Out White Man. ( Continued Fi rfnl Fil St Page.) expected, and dramatic to the degree. The native sameness in Jeffries was what made the big fellow stand tip twice after he had been knocked down, only to fall the final time from a. well-directed left upper-cut that Johnson sent in with plenty of force, , but not viciously. Jeff Out at First Fall. As a matter of fact, Jeffries, by rights, should have been counted out the . first time he fell. Timekeeper George Harting tolled the count with uplifted finger, but Tex Rickard, un accustomed to his position and excited at the tenseness In the air, lost track of affairs. He permitted Jeffries to stand on his feet and, though the seconds jumped into the ring to assist the fallen man, he waved them back. Then came the second knockdown, as Jeffries fell sprajpiing through the ropes, with one eye closed and blood trickling from mouth and nose. Even then, the old-time vitality in the fighter forced him to a standing posi tion, but his strength was lacking and the big bulk of bone and muscle fell practically inert as "Johnson rained in the punches for the third and last time. There has already been discussion as to whether Jeffries was counted out before the gong sounded the end of the fateful 15th round, but there is no question but that it was properly ended, and no question but of the com plete triumph of the black. Jeff Carried Off, Helpless. Helpless and unconscious, Jeffries was carried to his corner by his seconds and intimate friends, Johnson waiting the while to give the final handshake that ring custom demands. Then the crowd, ever fickle, ever inclined to turn to the winner, showered its attention upon the negro and shouted his name as he turned his grinning face toward them to acknowledge the reception. Jeffriee, the defeated, was not the man who had been watched by thou sands, not the man whose presence in training quarters had Impelled hun tireds to lean against fence pickets In -order to have a glimpse of him. "The King is dead; long live the King." So it was with Jeffries. A new champion reigns. Not a new one. per haps, but a man who has now the clearest of all rights to his title and the homage was turned toward him. No Race Feeling Shown. Race feeling? There was none mani fested this afternoon. Jeff, as he half walked and was half carried from the ringside, was accorded the applause that is due a fallen monarch. But aside from the pity that comes to the loser, there was no thought given to the fact that he had been defeated by a colored man. There are many who argue that Johnson could have won in any of the early rounds and that he was fighting for his friends and the moving pictures. Be that as it may, it was after the sixth round, when he closed Jeffries' left eye and landed almost at will with vicious lefts and rights, that the white fighter showed an utter lack of stamina and fought after a fashion that stamped him as a loser, sooner or later. Only Desire Left. Youth had fled from the big frame and there was nothing but the desire to keepkhim going, no strength to punch or ability to fight aggressively. Noth ing more than a hollow shell, Jeffries put up a sorry fight, so sorry an affair that the crowd came away from the arena disappointed at the fight as a ngnt. and with the outcome. It waa the old mistake that so many in the history of athletics have made. The trainers, rubbed Jeffries Into shape, as one of the critics expressed the condition. They took the fat oft the outside of his person, -but- didn't tone him up inside. But with all the utter lack of fighting ability that was displayed by Jeffries, it Is due Jack Johnson to give him full credit for his remarkable battle -mapped out in rare form- by a general of the pugilistic game, and never departed from. Jack Fights in Own Style. From all he may have felt as he saw that he was master of Jeffries, from the moment they came together in a clinch Johnson fought his own contest and in his own style. It must have been after that sixth round that Johnson considered himself a sure winner, for it was then that he commenced to use a straight right, a dangerous punch when an oppo nent has anything of a wallop left. He laughed and Joked with the crowd, winked his eye at Corbett. who had been boisterously noisy during the opening stages, and time and again told Jeffries to try to land a body punch. His defense was the marvel that it has always been claimed for him. Jeffries brought first blood, more a scratch than anything else, in the first round with a left, but otherwise Johnson was untouched. He boxed in superb style, blocked the attempted lunges of Jeffries after a fashion that must have bewildered Jeffries, and contented himself for the most part wtth landing the effective up percuts that have won so many of his contests for him. Johnson Is Aggressive. And there was more to the Johnson fight. He was aggressive this afternoon as I have never seen him before. The confidence that has been imbued in him in the long years that he has been seek ing a match with the white man came to the front and once he was absolutely rrr. tain of his man, he came to the front In I a style tnai win win ror him many friends. He outboxed Jeffries, as it was natural to expect, and what is also to the point, he outfought him. There were man In the audience who 1 ' r;- " , K i . . t Vyf'" ?v $ ' "" " (' l 1 have not seen Johnson In his recent fights, who did not understand half he has improved. The work of the black opened their eyes this afternoon and they accorded him the cndit due for his fight ing. Little of the personal element that was expected and that has been written about was in evidence. Jack Xot to -Be Cheated. It is of small moment that Berger entered the ring to stop the fight. John son was not to be cheated out of his rightfully won knockout. It was hlsi by ail the rules of fistiana and to the credit of Tex Rickard be it said that he allowed no claims of disqualification of seconds stopping the fight, but rather gave to the victor the spoils. "May the best man win," was the motto of the promoters, of the Governor, and of that veteran announcer, Billy Jordan. The best man did win. No one of us can gainsay that, black man though he is. Aa has been said, the fight was a dis appointment. It did not have the ele ments of a contest and will go down In annals as the most one-sided big- fight that ever took place. Jack Munro was heralded as a Joke when he stayed lass than a round with Jeffries1 some six years ago, and now it happens that Jeffries will be referred to in history as the man that was. Some Features Surprising. Even with all that, there were some surprising features. We could not tell in that first round or even in the second, as we thought we would, what the end of the story was to be. Jeffries was less aggressive, less vicious in his work, but Johnson, sizing his opponent up as he always does, held back and did not strike until his time had- come. There was little in the first round save an exhibition of the wonderful defense of the negro. Johnson landed the first punch, a left to the tece, but Jeffries with a light left to the face brought the first blood, a slight cut on the under lip, which afterwards bled quite pro fusely. Honors were even In that round and but for the comedy between Corbett and Johnson, the spectators would have been restless. Johnson opened the second round with two left hook9 to the face and Corbett THREE MEN WHO hollered out from the corner, "He wants to fight. Jim; let. him." "You Bet," Says Jack. "You bet I do." said Johnson, with a wink at Corbett as he faced that corner, at the same time sending in a stiff left upper-cut. Jeffries started to hook his left and Johnson replied with several short-arm jolts. The second round was a very tame affair and the contest was Judged slow and uninteresting. The third round was likewise more a war of words between Corbett and Johnson than fighting be tween Jim and Jack. From the outside, ; Corbett shrieked some advice to the ; white. ' "Do as they told you, Jim," chuckled ' Johnson, who followed it up with a left to the stomach that plainly hurt Jef- fries. As the men fought their way across the ring with Johnson landing some hard i punches. Corbett hollered out encourag ingly, "Everybody's laughing at you, Johnson. You can't do any harm with those punches. I've been there myself and I know." In reply, Johnson hooked a couple of lefts to the face and the wordVduellst called out to the chap who was taking the beating, "Look out, Jim; It won't hurt if he" hits you, but it's just as well to watch yourself." From that stage on, It was alto- fcpt, - w . , J auaa -... , f i - x i : ' , I - ; I-. i ' it in LAST FIGHTING POSES OF WHITE CHAMPION WHO GOES DOWN TO JEFFRIES AND BERGER. gether a Johnson fight, although the tide did not turn until the sixth. John son tried his far-famed rushes many times, but discovered that he was not landing. The fourth and fifth rounds were much the same. Jeffries was trying to land but could not place a glove where it would do harm. Johnson was contenting himself with punches to the body that were weakening even if they did not show to much spectacular effect. The sixth was where the story was told. Jack opened the round by hook ing Jeffries repeatedly with lefts. As they broke after a clinch, Jeffries tried to rush his man, but missed fire and was once more in an embrace. There was a laugh from the Jeffries corner. The laugh told, for Johnson came back in faA shape with two lefts, and sent In as hard an upper-cut as had been landed at any stage of the proceed ings. Two more lefts closed Jeffries' right eye, and even the most ardent sup porters of the favorite were shaking their heads. . The eye bothered Jeffries considerably in the seventh. The de fense of the Calif ornian was. a minus quantity and his efforts to land a punch were not pleasant to watch for those of his friends who were spectators. Jeff Beaten Man. - "'He's a beaten man," was the re mark as he went to his corner, dis tressed of mind and of. body.' The re mark was true. Jeff had no further chance. The Jeffries supporters were trying to save their money before, the eighth and were trying to get their bets down at even money, an . offer that was scorned by the short-enders who had gambled on John Arthur. From that stage to the finish it was only a ques tion of when the end would come.

There was but one round, the 11th, in which the Jeffries crowd had a chance to cheer. Johnson had started the round in good shape and Jeffries SECONDED JEFFRIES. Joe Choynskl. Roger Cornell. Jbr A r- r had been subjected to some terrific right and left punches that were the hardest blows of the fight. Jack Seems Staggered. Jeffries was apparently In bad shape in the early part of the round, but he recuperated and landed a right to the face that apparently staggered Jack. At least the crowd thought so, but those in the press seats could see that Johnson was merely "stalling." It was a fast round and had the crowd on its toes. From the beginning of the 12th to Vie end of the 15th. there was only one story what Johnson did. He fought as he pleased and left wide openings, be cause he knew that Jeffries was a whipped man and had nothing left; he had lost his execution, his defense and his strength. After that it was a fore gone conclusion what was to happen. No IH-WiU Shown. Johnson's smile, that was glittering at all stages of the fight, showed no ill will toward Jeffries and the taps that he gave his huskier opponent as they came together frequently In the clinches were indicative of no desire to beat and pun ish the man he was facing. Nor was Jef fries ill-disposed toward the man he was later to face as the rightful champion. Even Johnson, in his statement, says that in the exchange of words between the heavyweights, there was nothing sug gestive of a quarrel or dispute. It was a cold business proposition, and as such Jeffries took his medicine, painful though it was. Body Blows Count. Unquestionably, the body blows, the short Jolts that Johnson sent to the body, did more to wear Jeffries down than any thing else. It is quite true that the white man was bothered when the clever negro ''vreu i B eje, uui .1. nos aim. Johnson changed tactics and directed his hlwa t ... tha . blows to the body that the keen students of form and condition noted that Jeffries was breathing heavily as he came to his corner, and that his legs were shaky as he faced the other man, who was always circling him in the center of the ring. Jeffries attributes his defeat to a weak stomach that was unable to stand the punishment, but he does not do justice to the blows that were rained in on him and the effect they had on the frame of a man in no condition to stand such pun ishment. He was Just as far from being the Jeffries of the days gone by as John son was different from the black man who fought Marvin Hart in San Fran cisco once upon a time, and who was roundly hissed and hooted for his Indif ferent work. The Jeffries of old had degenerated and tlie Johnson had become a wonderfully improved man, both in his defense and his aggressiveness, a style that is born only of confidence. The men in Jeffries' corner stuck to their forlorn hope long after parti san supporters of the white had acknowledged defeat. The first knock down that Jeffries had suffered should I have been enough. But there was Jim I Corbett. even then trying to taunt the black, and Jack Jeffries, brother of j the man who was beaten, stubbornly refusing to give up. "For God's sake, Jack," yelled Sam Berger, "throw in the towel and stop this fight." - And when Jack shook his head in refusal just as Jeff had dropped to the canvas for that third time, while the timekeeper was toning me seconds and Rickard following the ring. Ber- ger stepped through the ropes. He was too late to save the knockout, for it had been counted off -just as the gong was clanging. Jeffries was out for all time to come and a hush fell over the audience as his massive form was car ried to his corner, wljere he could better be revived. Both Look Determined. The. two men had come from their corners In that 15th round evidently In determined fashion. Johnson met ; Jeffries well in the center of the ring. ' The Californian looked a bit fresher, if anything, but as he led Johnson ; blocked as he had done so many times J before, and they came f to a clinch. , The clinch was a long one. Jeffries i was leaning heavily on the colored man ', and Jack was quite satisfied that It should be so. J As the tired Jeffries partially broke , away from the embrace, Johnson shot I in three wicked -lefts to the face. He j repeated with another and Jeffries siowiy pan k. iu me nour oi cne ring. Johnson stood off as Rickard rushed toward the fallen man. Twelve seconds were in reality counted by Harting, but Rickard did not hear the count and allowed Jeffries to stand on his feet. Jeff Arises Slowly. Jeffries arose more slowly than he had dropped, and as he partially stood and staggered around the ring, John son hit him first with a left upper-cut and then with a right. Jeffries had not the human endurance to stand the strain. For the second time he fell, and so helpless was he that- his huge body sprawled half out and half inside the ropes, with his face turned from the moving picture machines. There was a rush of his seconds to assist Jeffries to his feet as the count was being called, and there were DEFEAT enough of his advisers in the ring dur ing the round to have disqualified Jeff ries had the referee been so minded. Rickard merely pushed them back and as the retired champion once more faced his cunning opponent, there was a wave of pity as Johnson used the right to the jaw and then finished his work with a left upper-cut, a blow that sent James J. Jeffries down for all time to come. Jeffries Backers Lose $2 000. ROSEBURG, Or., July 4. (Special.) It is estimated that fully $2000 changed hands in Douglas County today, when it was announced that Jeffries, the white favorite, had gone down to defeat at the hands of Johnson. Roseburg citizens were almost- unanimous in their support of Jeffries, and the news of his defeat was received with regret. OARSMEN START NORTH PORTLAXD ClitTB WILL COM PETE AT 1XDIAX RIVER. Hard Work of Training Is Over, and Men Will Do Light Exer cise Until Friday. In the best of shape and confident of winning, members of the Portland Rowing Club's crews, accompanied by several officers of the club, left last night for Indian River, B. C, where the annual races will be held under the auspices of the Vancouver Boat Club. This will be the annual" regatta of the North Pacific International Asso ciation of Amateur Oarsmen. The Portland Rowing Club chartered a special car in which to carry the men and their shells. The Portland Row ing Club has the best collection of oarsmen this year than it has had for a number of years. All of. the boys feel confident of victory over the North ern crews. All of the hard training of the oars men was completed last week, and from now on until the races are held on Friday the boys will Indulge only in practicing, starting and doing a little sprinting and speed work. Aided by favorable weather, the athletes have been enabled to get into first-class shape early, and the hard work-was discon tinued early last week. The club is not represented this year by a senior four, but has a first-class junior -four. In all the other events, excepting the senior four, the Portland Rowing Club will have a full entry list. H. E. Judge, president; Fred Newell, secretary, and Richard Hart, who has been coaching the crews along with Captain Arthur Allen, accompanied the "I LOST BECAUSE THE OLD-TIME SNAP OF YOUTH WAS GONE." Jeffries. BT JAMES JEFFRIES. I lost my fight this afternoon because I did not have the snap of youth I used to have. I believed in my own heart that all the old-time dash was there, but when I started to execute, the speed and the youthful steam were lacking. The things I used to do were Impossible. For instance. I used to shoot in a right hand body punch, a sort of a short-range blow that never used to fail me. When I tried it today the snap wasn't there and it was only a love tap. I suppose most of my trainers and helpers will say that I did not box often enough. -It wouldn't have made any difference if I had sparred a dozen times more than I did. I simply was not there, and that's all there is to it. I guess it's all my own fault. I was getting along nicely and living peacefully on. my. alfalfa farm, but when they started calling for me and mentioning me as the "white man's hope,' I guess my pride got the better of my good Judgment. At that. . I worked long and hard to condition myself and I was fit, as far as strength goes, but the old necessary snap and dash, the willingness to tear in and crush were not with m. . , Six years ago the result might have been different. But now well, I guess the public will let me alone after this. boys. The Portland yarty will arrive in Vancouver tonight and will Immedi ately leave for the racing grounds, where they will stop at a new hotel. The scene of the regatta is Indian River, at the End of Bird Inlet, in the mountains, and Is said to be an ideal place for such an event. The members of the crews are: Junior four, I. J. Wait, stroke; W. Phillipbar, No. 3; J. Helwig, No. 2; A. Pfaener, bow. Senior doubles, J. R. A. Moore, stroke; Ed O. Gloss, bow. Junior doubles, Julius Gloss, stroke; W. Ball, bow. Senior single, Ed . O. Gloss. Inter mediate single, Arthur A. Allen. . Junior single, Julius Gloss. -The local oars men will compete against the Van couver Boat Club, Victoria Boat Club and the Nelson Boat Club.

Jeffries, .pugilist, left camp early this afternoon. Jim Jeffries, farmer, re turned. He will never enter the ring again. That was settled once and for all today. The big man with the bruised face and downcast spirit was carried swiftly back from the ringside to the cottage where the last days of his training were passed. He was still dazed and shaken when he climbed from the machine. He knew that he had been beaten, but of the way in which his defeat was accomplished he had no Idea. Oorbett Tells How It Happened. The story of the blows which sent him stumbling over the ropes, a beaten manv and brought the blood bubbling from his lips, as he sat stupifled, un able to locate his adversary in the glare of the sun, was told to him by Jim Corbett. Jeffries knew nothing beyond the fact that he was beaten, that tne ob ject for which he abandoned hip quiet life, the defeat of Jack Johnson, had not been accomplished. Mrs. Jeffries arrived at the camp half an hour before her husband. She was weeping, but endeavoring to re strain her sobs. When Jeffries' car stopped . in front of the cottage, she ruBhed out , to him and together they passed from sight "through the door. Few Greet Vanquished. There were few to witness the return of the vanquished. Two or three auto mobiles stood in the road where 50 had been crowded in the morning. Jeffries' personal friends were there eager to do something to aid him but unable to find words. Jeffries stepped from the house a few moments after he entered and went to the rubbing room. He walked a little unsteadily and seemed a bit dazed. His trainers accompanied him and after a bath he was rubbed down and drank a glass or two of wine. It was then, he made his" first statement, after leaving the ring, and said he was. sorry for his friends. Jeffries was puffed from the blows, but the flow of blood had been stopped. His right eye. to the blinding of which his trainers attribute his defeat in so few rounds, was swollen almost shut but not injured seriously. According to Dr. -Porter. Jeffries' phy sician, his injuries are not worthy of note. He suffered far more serious dam age in previous fights, the doctor said, notably that with Fltzslmmons, when his face-was cut and bruised almost beyond recognition. ' Cornell Blames Closed Eye. Roger Cornell, Jeffries' trainer. de- - clared that the blinded right eye was i the main cause of his man's defeat. The blow which swelled the lids until sight was all but gone, landed in the second round. "It was not bad enough to cut," said the trainer, "but Jeffries told me when I began rubbing it and working with it that he could see double as he looked around. He could not see a blow coming from that side. Johnson hammered him with the left almost at will and Jeffries could not block them.- He did not see them. There are four lumps along his right jaw bone where Johnson's fists landed. Those were the blows that beat him." ' Jeffries was . invisible ,to all comers throughout "the evening. ' He ordered that the friends be sup plied with champagne, but did not leave the house himself. There has been no change in Jeffries' plans. He proposes to return to his tiome in Los Angeles at once. He will leave with his wife and a few friends tomorrow, but the time at which his train will start has not been fixed. FIGHT FAN'S GO HUNGRY Reno Kcstaurants Unable, to Sup ply Food Demand. RENO, Nev., July 4. By 7 o'clock this morning the breakfast problem r.s sumed a phase that boded 111 for lunch and dinner. Throughout the night and the forenoon the special and regular trains had added their cargoes to the thousands already on the ground, and most of them had gone foodless for hours. As each train arrii ' its pas sengers made a dash for restaurant, luir'- stand or sandwich hawker, and Reno's food supply began to . :elt. When the l.-cky thousands vi hal places to sleep began to turn out by sunrise they found the homeless throng had been be fere them. At every restaurant and eating place the doors were locked and guards kept the waiting ones in line, letting them in only as a customer de parted. At 7 o'clock the word went out that the bacon and ham supply was exhausted. An hour later 1 was merely a q-iestion of taking v-'iat the red-eyed and worn waiters placed be fore one. Table linen has disappeared and dish-washing was a pretense. Reno has done its best, but with its population of 12,000 more than oubled ir 24 hours, with traffic conditions about normal and a ready spending crowd, the housing and feeding ques tion was beyond it. One thing that even the sorest and the hungriest will remember to the credit of the little city, however, is tlat with it all foo prices have not been appreciably raised. From dark last night until 8:30 this morning 12 trains arrived from the east and vest, with an average load of 500 passengers each. Seven more trains heavily loaded came before noon. Up to 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, 3500 excursion tickets to Reno had been sold In San Francisco. All the $10 fight tickets had been sold last night. Large blocks had been sold to speculators, who sold them at $17.50 today. The only seats cn sale at the ticket office this morning were the higher-priced places. By 10 o'clock the price of the cheap est tickets had advanced to $25, the speculators having been encouraged by the heavy arrivals. Wherever they were on sale a crowd fought to pur chase. The first serious accident that ho occurred In this great gathering of men was the accidental shooting of Tom Hefer, a Bodie, Cal.. miner, liefer was in "one of the saloons on the main street flourishing a wad of money. A friend advised him to put it away. Hefer. in attempting to stuff the money into his pocket, dropped his revolver to the floor. It was discharged and shot him through the back. "A mur der," was the cry that rang through the crowds, and the incident for a time destracted the mobs from the machine of Johnson as it pushed Its way through the streets. ALBANY SEES THREE GAMES League Team and Clieninwa Indians Divide Honors in Day. ALBANY. Or., July 4. (Special.) Three baseball games' were played in Albany today.
