MOANA SPRINGS TRAINING
CAMP, RENO. Nevada, July 4. An
unusual calm prevailed over Jeffries'
camp this morning. Tho big follow
slept a llttlo later than was his wont
and after a short stroll about the
grounds ate n hearty breakfast. Only
members of bis training squad wore
with him, Cornell, Armstrong and
Hums remaining, tho balance of the
crowd being In the city.
A llttlo stir wob created by an ob
jection being entored by Joffries to
tho canvas covering of the ring, It
being too slippery. Borger and Cor-
bott wore called up, and Instructed
to see that a new covering was pro
vided. They woro skirmishing around
town as early as 7 o'clock but woro
not as successful as they had hoped,
tho quality of canvas In tho fow
supply houses being very llttlo dif
ferent from that In tho ring. It Is
probable that tho canvas used at ono
or tho othor of tho training camps
will bo substituted.
Joffries Plays Cards,
Joffries Is oither tho best actor In
tho country or ho was tho least con
cerned man In Reno yestorday. Ho
put In nearly all of Sunday playing
cards with a small party of closo
friends, Including Kddlo Leonard, Abo
Attell, Harry Monnhan and Jack
Wooly and worked as dosporately to
win a few cents from his cronies us
ho will today to annex tho winner's
ond of that 1101,000 purso. Tho big
fellow was In a playful mood, de
spite his grouch of tho day boforo,
which had disappeared. When Jof-
frless won ho kidded his opponents
unmercifully nnd whon ho lost ho
"rough housed" tho party In a good
nut u rod way. No ono mentioned the
fight nnd If any thought of tho
struggle passed through tho mind of
tho big follow ho gavo no Intimation
of It.

(By Max Dalthasar.)
RINGSIDE, Reno, July 4. Now
for tho answer:
For several months sovoral million
persons, men, women and children
scattered at odd spots over the face
if the earth, have been speculating
in the outcome of a little meeting
to be held this afternoon In this
arena.
For several weeks past several doz
en wise men of sportdom have bees
giving inside Information to the pub
lic on what the result would be. The
Information has been tho beat in the
world and probably the most scho
lastic and expert that has ever been
served to fight fans but owing to the
disagreement of the doctors of pug
ology the .public hasjiad to wait far
this day and Hour?'' As a resulf'of
tho interest In the controversy, about
twenty thousand people turned out
this afternoon, paying $10 to $50
each for the privilege of occupying
18 Inches of sun-kissed pine board.
Crowds Come Early.
Beforo 10 o'clock tho crowds be
gan storming tho entrance to the
arena and by 11:55, the hour at
which tho gates were thrown open
to tho crowd, the crowd composed of
leaders of the $10 seats, tho cheapest,
numbered several thousand.
The first ticket taken at the gate
was held by T. C. Murphy, a Phlla
lelphla hotel keeper.
As the crowd came pouring
through thh narrow chutes loading
'o tho octagonal arena, carponters
wore busy at a score of places erect
ing protecting railings and rein
forcing vital places In the structure.
High about tho tier of seats compos
ing tho arena propor woro tho olghht
boxes reserved for women.
Women Pack Arena.
Threo minutes after tho opening
of the gates there was a rush, a
chords of feminine shleks and
laughter and tho entire section -was,
packed tho gorgeous mlllnery and
dainty gowns of tho women stand
ing out In marked contrast to the
black and white of tho tier upon tier
of coatloss men.
Dr. Morrison and Dr. Aschor
earlier In the day visited tho camps
of Jeffries and Johnson at "Moana
Springs and Rick's training quarter,
respectively, and made the physical
examinations required by tho state
law of Nevada. Both physicians pro
nounced both fighters perfect speci
mens of physical manhood, trained
to the hour and fit for a battle to
meet tho expectations aroused by
their most wldoly preBS-agented ad
vertising In sporting history.
Although tho majority of the
women spectators took advantage
of tho boxes, many woro scattered
throughout tho arena.
Jeff Prt(Mires llnuquet.
By noon lines of ticket-holdors two
blocks long wero stretched out be
yond tho entrance It was a good
naturod crowd, niado doubly so by
tho presonco of scores of deputy
ahorlffs, determined Novadans, whose
very appearance without display of
arms, was autucioiu to insure peace.
