Concerning Him in the Last Issue of the Jeffersonian.
Hon. Jos. S. Reynolds, candidate for

had gone to Mr. Watsons home.
"Hickory Hill,” on several occasions
and that Mr. Vinson had not gone
there, leaving the inference that Mr.
•Reynolds sought Mr. Watson’s sup

newspapers during the week,” laid

The most recent reply to this invita

Slaton, of Georgia, saying that while
it may be impossible for him to come
down during July and a part of Au

soon as this body adjourns.
It is hoped that the governors of ail
four states will be here while their
troops are encamped here, which will
be at separate times, and it is very
likely that they will, unless unavoid

Are the Moving Picture People to Decide
Just How Long the Moran-Johnson
Fight's To Go ?
New York—Here are a few views that
have trickled in from Europe concern
ing: the Jack Johnson-Frank Moran
“championship fight” that is scheduled
to he staged in Paris on June 27th.
They are printed for the guidance of
those who have been thinking of wager
ing a little lucre on the outcome of the
"battle.”
The fight will he a fake.
The fight will he on the level and
promises to be the greatest heavyweight
tight in history.
'Pile tight is a tYameup.
It inis been framed so that Johnson
will win.
It Jins been framed so that Moran will
win.
Johnson is in file condition, has train
ed faithfully, and is now down to
weight, and a’ le to put up tin* greatest
battle of his life.
Johnson hasn’t trained more, than three
or four hours a week in the last six
weeks, and before then la* didn’t do any
training at all. lie is 50 pounds over
weight. ids wind Is bad, and lie is so
flabby and out of rendition that he will
collapse after six rounds.
Moran lias not been training hut has
been spending most of his time. da\ and
night, in t.v around the gilded Paris
cases. In the last few weeks he has
become a familiar figure in the Paris
night life.
Moran has trained earnestly at his
quarters in the little village just out
side of Paris sind is in wonderful condi
tion. Seemingly without effort, he inis
been giving some terrible beatings to
ids sparring partners, and they are pre
dicting a speedy knockout victory for
him.
The moving picture people are tho
ones who are to decide jUHt how long
Hie fight is to last. It Is reported that
they have cautioned Johnson that lie
must not knock out the white man be
fore the 10th round, at least, as a film
showing a shorter fight, would not make
money.
Johnson feels very bitter toward Mo
ran because of his slightning remarks,
while in New York about six weeks ago,
relative to Johnson's condition, and
threatens to smash him to a pulp the
very first time they meet.
They're Talking of the Frame Up
in the “Fight" Between Johnson
and Moran in Paris on the 21th
New York.—This is to remind those
who care to be reminded Unit .1.
Johnson, an ebony hued punching
pu'sson, formerly of tihe U. S. A.,
and Francis Moran, who comes from
Pittsburg, and who 13 as nearly white
as any oe can be who comes from
there, are scheduled to stage a fight
on June 27tli in that gay and giddy
Paree.
it will be noted that we sai l sched
uled to stage a fight. That let’s us
out. Some souls are brave enough
to come right out and say that the
two persons above mentioned will
light. But such a statement in our
opinion, exceeds the extreme limit of
poetic license, or whatever license it
is that one exceeds when one makes
a positive statement with nothing
positive to back it up.
Many things may happen during
the next eleven dayß to bring about
a cancellation of this much talked of
bout. Who can say that Johnson,
during that period, will not be pinch
ed for auto speeding, smoking in the
subway, treason, arson, piracy, or
sneezing into the face oT a Paris po
liceman? And if one or several of
these little thing should lttppen to
him “i’ll Ahthuh” probably won't get
out in time to be among those pres
ent on the night of the fight.
And Francis, too, must lie consid
ered as a |K)ssible even probable
cause —of calling off the match at
the eleventh hour. The Pittsburg
gladiator may experience a sudden#
Change of heart and also of foot, ten*
perature before tlie p. in. of June 27.
Wouldn’t lie surprising. Francis may
be a brave soul and all that, but
brave as he is, he must feel some
qualm as the hour approaches when
he must dure what so few have dare!
-—get himself shoved into a ring
with this fighting black man.
If Francis’ pedals become icy and
his courage oozes forth, and the
match is called off .on that account
the real facts will not be given out.
We will be told that Francis, during
training, busted his left band, his
right, elbow, nine ribs and Ills wish
bone, and that he suddenly bail be
come possessed of appendicitis, bar
ber’s itch and suspended animation.
But even if Francis doesn’t get
cold feet and Ahthuh doesn’t get him
self pinched and thpy meet in the
-ring, it doesn't necessarily follow that
a fight will take place. Of course,
there may be a real fight, hut. only
about twe per cent of the general pub
lic seems to feel that wuy. Forty
nine per cent of the remaining ninety
eight think the bout will he a frame
up, while the other forty-nine think
Elaborate Preparations Being Made Since
Completion of the Davis Cup Inter

New York. With the Davis flup Inter
national tennis schedule completed both
tin* National Association and the clubs

of spectators expected to witness Iho

teams reach the final round, as Is gen
erally predicted, there will he almost a*

these two nations, to he played at the

winners of the trophy emblematic: of the
world s teams tennis championship.
Interest In the International play will
not cease with the Davis Cup matches,
however, for the* members of the Lng-
Ush, Australasian and Orman teams. If
the latter come to America at all, will

tournament at Newport fluring the week

Reservation*.
That this will he the case Is clesrly In
dicated by the demand for reservations
even at this surly date. Despite too
Johnson and Moran often meet in the
office that serves aw the headquarters
for the managers of both fighters, and
are on the ve.Vy best of terms.
A check for SIIO,OOO as Johnson's share
of the fight lias been placed in a safety
deposit vault.
The check for SIIO,OOO that has been
placed in the bank to Johnson’s credit
Isn't worth tin* paper it. is written on.
Johnson is willing to bet SIO,OOO, at big
odds, that he will defeat Moran in 10
rounds or less.
Moran is willing to wager a huge
amount that he will kuock out the ne
gro in 12 rounds.
Those who are in on the alleged frame
up. It is said, have pooled a big hunch of
money and are Just waiting foV ‘‘suck
ers’’ so that the\ can Viet It. at big odds,
and make a “killing.”
Outside of these few conflicting de
tails we have, up to the present writing,
heard nothing that would cast e'en the
shade of suspicion on this scheduled
fight.
Willie Ritchie, light weight champion,
has been libeled by all persona who claim
that he has mixed up in only about six
fights since lie became champion. Wil
lie has mingled in at least 20 bouts—
six of them staged in a ring and tho
other 14 staged in different places where
persons meet to sign up articles for
fights.
Taking It from Willie who expressed
himself before his departure for dear, old
lam non, those fights over terms and
conditions are harder than a real scrap.
In a scrap, Willie points out, one has but
one opponent and when one gets soak
ed one usually gets soaked from only
one direction, but in battling over terms
willle lias found that lie’s had to fight
nearly an army of managers, assistant
managers, stake holders, lawyers, and
promoters, who can soak from any angle.
"And you have to be mighty darned
careful” remarks Willie "because if you
ain’t those fellows arc going to hand you
a knock out punch when you aren’t look
ing. When I sign up for a fight I’m
mighty particular about each condition
and term of the fight. I’m out to pro
tect my own interests—and you can bet
that l do.”
it will be a slaughter with Johnson
doing the butchering.
This proposed Johnson Moran af
fair lias caused about as much discus
sion as any fight since the big black
man gntibbed the crown from Jef
feries. So many things are to be
considered in an attempt to “dope”
out the result that the belting fra
ternity is baffled and up to tuo pres
ent moment we have not heard of any
real lief being placed on the outcome
of the fight.
Some of tlie best little ring experls
in the country seem to feel flint John
son ought to be at 5 to 1 to 10 to 1
favorite In the belting. Some of Mo
ran’s supporters are so confident that
ho will beat "Smoke” that it Is said
they will he willing to lake all the
3 to 1 and evn 2 to 1 money that will
be offerd at the last minute. Tha
general public, howovr, iH keeping Us
money in Its jeans and no doubt will
keep It there.
The possibility of the fight being a
frame-up is one that is to be consid
ered. And then the question arises,
How far has tlie negro gone back?
Is he out. of condition and totally un
fit to put up a championship fight, as
lias been reported a half dozen times?
Has there been any real Improvement
in the Inst year in the ability of Mo
ran, w'tio only a year ago was a sec
ond rale “white hope’’? Certain It Is
that if Moran hasn't Improved much
over what he was a year ago he will
have a mighty slim chance against
Johnson, even if Johnson has reced
ed a considerable distance from
where he was when lie fought Jef
feries.
Considerable stress Is heing laid on
the fact that Johnson has led a fast
and giddy life since he became a
champion Yet be was quite ns ghl
dy a young blade before he won the
championship as he has been since.
The fact that It is not generally
known Is simply because in the days
before he became a champion he was
given scarce notice in the newspa
pers and his personal doings weren't
chronicled as far and as wide as they
have been since. Of course, Johnson
Is a hit older than he was In 1910.
And age hasn’t helped him, nor has
ills dV.sipfttlon helped him. Hut the
main question is:
Has Johnson gone so far back in
four years and Moran come so far
forward in one year that the on
time second rate white fighter has a
chance against tlie black man who,
less than four years ago, was called
the greatest human fighting machine
of the age?
fact that the seating capacity at the
Newport courts will he greatly Increased
It is apparent that the demand for tick
ets will exceed the supply. The boxes
surrounding the grandstand court
completely sold out a mouth ugo and
additional stands are being built to pro
vide for the thousands who are expected
to witness the all-star mutches to he
played cm this court.
Additional rows of temporary s**ats
will be placed In front of the grandstand
and two new stands will he erected, one:]
at each end of the- championship play
ing turf. The east stand will also be
widened by the addition of rows of seats
at top and bottom and when the: altera
tions are completed It Is expected that
ignore than H.OOO spectators can be ac- ]
commodated around the star court of the
Casino grounds. During th<J e airly
rounds many of the other courts will be
occupied by prominent American and
foreign players and it Is not unlikely
that should the draw dlftrlbuts th*
leading players evenly, an attendance
fully equal to that at the Davis Cup
challenge round will be present on cer
tain days.
Rapid Progress.
While rapid progress Is being made In
the matter of accommodating spectators
lit these matches the same fanned he
said of the assembling of the players
who will form the teams of the leading
entrants, considered as nations. Aus*
tralasia Is to date the only competitor
with Its team formed ami practicing n*
a whole. In view of the formidable
hSegregation of players that the Anti
podes possess in Brooks. Wilding, Doust
and Dunlop, this advantage is not one
to ho dlsi cgurdod. iisfors tbs Auslra-
lasians sail for America early in July
both the United States and English ten
uis’ authorities will have begun the as
sembling of their teams, hut at the
present time there is little definite idea
of the strength or arrangement of these
teams.
The American cup defenders will be
called upon to face a heavier attack this
summer than in any Davis Cup match
in years and the expert tennis authori
ties are emphatic In their declarations
that at best the -United States team will
not have better than an even chance of
retaining the trophy regained at Wim
bledon last summer. It is certain that
Champion Maurice MoT.oughlin will form
the foundation of the team, but beyona
that all is speculation. The California
delegation, including McLoughlln. Wi
liam Johnston, t lurence (Jriffin, Thomas
Bundy, and possibly Elia Fottrell and
Roland Roberts, has been requested to
come east early in July. Here they will

Hahn who have been playing brilliant y
in the east for some weeks. The east
ern contingent including Williams. Wal
lace Johnson, Touchard, Bell Dabney.
Niles, Alexander, Leroy, Church, Hackett
and others have been playing for some
weeks and when the two squads Join
forces the U. S. L T. A. officials will
immediately begin the work of trying
out the players- in various tournaments
in order to gftuge their present ability
for the cup defense purposes.
Similar Condition.
Somewhat similar conditions prevail in
England with the first rounds but a
few weeks away. According to the
draw tlie English team must meet Bel
gium at Folkstone July 7-8-9 and win
ning ploy l-Yance at Wimbledon July 10-13-14.
13-14. England should survive these
rounds even though the team selected
for the matches did not represent Elritisii
topnotch tennis strength. For the play
in this country, however. England must
have the best combination possible in
order to have n fair chance against the
Australasians and toward this end lit
tle has been done. Beyond appointing
a sub-coimnittee of three to organise *
series of doubles trials at Wimbledon,
the International committee has taken
no definite action in regard to the in
international team. One or two players
have been unofficially advised that they
maj be selected, but that is as far ns
the comndttee has gone. What is need
ed, according to English writers, is that
the committee should concentrate a team
which Is physically sound; a team which
is young enough to stand the searching
strain of five sets in the hottest weath
er, and yet old enough to have had ade
quate match play experience; above all,
a team which is versed in modern meth
ods of attack and lias some of tho
strokes necessary to combat them. J.
C. Parks on his form of last year merits
instant selection; F. Q. I/Owe on his form
of this year deserves the same tribute,

coln's. and the hack shows a harvest
ing machine and allegorical figures
typical of farming. The $lO note bears
a portrait of Cleveland and is a manu
facturing scene. Tlie S2O hears Jack
son’s portrait and is typical of com
merce, having a steamship, train and
other mediums of trade on the back.
Grant’s picture is shown on the SSO
note, and Franklln'R portrait adorns
the SIOO bill. Both of these larger
hills are typical of the arts. All the
