Jeffries' last day in Los Angeles was
a quiet one. There was a family reunion at which both of Jeffries' par
ents were present, at his mother's house
near his own residence, many of the champion's intimate friends calling to say goodby. ' ,
At 5:30 Jeffs automobile arrived at
the station with Jack Kipper, Jeffries'
partner; Mrs. Jeffries and Mrs. Kipper. It took some time for Jeffries to find out just how much of an excess bag
gage charge he would have to pay and
then the party went to the train, which was making up, followed by the crowd which quickly gathered on the arrival of the champion at the depot.
For fifteen minutes previous to the
departure of the train the big fellow held a reception on the station platform. Joe Woodman, manager of Sam Langford, was one of the many on hand to say goodby and wish good luck.
Jeffries is never very demonstrative
and adieus when the train finally drew out were brief, although he bowed to the crowd from the platform as he
stood between Mrs. Jeffries and his
nephews.
"I never felt better In my life," Jeff
said, and his- appearance bore out what
he said. "I certainly appreciate the
loyal support Angelenos are giving me.
I shall never forget it as long as I live.
"My nephews will accompany me to my training camp and remain with me until July. Everything will be in full swing there Inside of a week. Sam Berger has been preparing things at the camp for a long time, so I shall have little business to transact In San Francisco.
Jeff Backed for $2,000 to $1,400 to Beat Jack New York, April 4. Betting on the Jeffries-Johnson -fight started in earnest here last "night with the deposit of $2,000 against $1,400 that the former champion would defeat the negro on July 4. There had been some wagering before, but , the Posting of $3,400 was- the first re"al evidence that " odds
were going to, favor Jeffries for some
time to come.
i Clarence Berry of -Los Angeles, at one time a prominent Klondike miner
and now interested in the oil fields of
California, stated that he had $250,000
to bet on Jeffries at any price that was
reasonable. Charles Sutro, a stock broker of San Francisco, quickly took $2,000 of it at odds of 7 to 10 and then
announced that h would have as much
more to bet on the negro before the fight, , ' Jack Gleason one of the promoters of the fight, said that the odds of 7 to 10 in favor of Jeffries were first established in the San Francisco poolrooms about a fortnight ago. Gleason said that he looked for these odds to ' remain stationary for at least a month or more, with possibly a slight shortening when Johnson commenced active training on May 1. After that, he said, he would not be surprised if the figures showed Jeffries a favorite at H- to 10, with either 9 to 10 or even money preI vailing on the day of the fight.

A large crowd gathered at the north side "grounds yesterday afternoon to witness the first game of the season between the Hammond Grays and the St. Casmers, which ended in the defeat of the Hammond Grays by a score of 2 to 0. The two teams were in fine form for the game. Both pitchers hurled a good game and few hits were made by either team. The St. Casmers took advantage of two costly errors made by the Grays
and scored their only two counts on the fumbles, one coming in the first inning and the other In the second. The Grays settled down after they had given the Casmers the two counts which last the game for them, and the best they could do was to hold the Casmers from scoring again. An accident happened to DeRolf. one of the Grays' players, he getting spiked in the leg while sliding to third.
The injury was not a serious one and the player finished the game. Following is the lineup Hammond Grays, Tague, c; Freyman, p; White, ss; Glawe, lb; Keatchur, 2b; DeRof, 3b; Warner, If; Chandler, cf; Blake, rf. St. Casmers Gratwitc. c; Frisk, p; J. Gratwitc, ss; Prucliuicki, lb; Dubke,

Wichita, Kan., April 4. "Watch Wichita Win'.' was the big electric sign that faced the White Sox when they
landed from the special sleeping car yesterday morning, and that is just
what did happen, 5 to 4. Frank Isbell
former first baseman of the South Sld-
ers, but now owner, manager and first baseman of the Wichita Western league team, took much delight in dragging the colors of his former teammates in the dust, and there was plenty of dust,
too.
"Issy" unearthed a brand new find in Pitcher Dan Boone, who comes from the back lots of this same town. Dan
was a wonder up to the ninth inning, but was a little nervous in the final rounds. Walsh, Scott and Smith were floored by the local men during the
scrimmage. Three home runs were
made during the afternoon. Two of
them came In the ninth Inning by Smith
and Gandil of the Sox and the other
was made in the sixth inning by Petti-
grew with a man on base.
It was big league ball for the first five innings, for only one hot apiece was' made up to that time. Walsh
worked the. five rounds and was in splendid form. Not one of the local men reached second while he was on
the ground.
Louisville, April 4. Buckets of rain.
the first to report since March 10, yesterday put a financial and athletic crimp In the. Cub march toward home and the loved ones. All was serene on the outside until the chef cut loose with
the first call for beans. Then the weath
er man opened a few parched valveS and the stuff was off. And there was President Murphy, all primed for a
critical, 'exhaustive tfeek at the squad
of hopeuls' still clinging to the ship.
It was a harsh blow, that rain, and on
a Sabbath, Louisville's best baseball
day.
From the general tone of the down
pour It was one of those made-to-order affairs. , There- was nothing stirring un
til noon and after 2 o'clock the sun was
shining at the same old stand. But the
officials had scratched the combat and hundreds of the sportively Inclined
Louisvillans sought amusement at a lo
cal theater, where "Ad Wolgast, cham
pion of the world," Is "playing a one
week stand. That's the way the bill
posters advertise the Cadillac "knuckle
dustef."
A little thingr like rain didn't" damp

Murphy, however. The Cubs' boss was
here from early morning till late last night in star chamber session with
