July 5.-James J. leffries, whose great ring career caine to an end when he fell before Jack Johnson yesterday, left the scene of his defeat to-night for his alfalfa ranch in Southern California. There, in the quiet of his lields. he will try to forget. In the meantime he will spend a few days in San Francisco on the way, straightening out his business affairs. The Jeffries car was bitched to the regular evening train. He motored into Reno from his camp at Moana Springs with Sam Berger and other members of his party an hour he fore train time and hid himself a: soon as possible from the curious gaze of the crowd that stiil thronged the street, lu his stumbling move ments, his hewed head. in tin depths of his sombre eva's, the nerv ons ruhhing of his swollen face and bandaged jaw. in Iiis shrinking fr. the public, Jeffries showed that this ile;o.i' had dealt him a terrible blow. Silence ol' Pity. There was .-?lenee as he passed through the streets. Mon rushed from the gambling tables to gaze, bu: no word of taunt or derision was thrown at him.

As Jeffries'..: train started west, somewhere in the desert to the east tile hilarious band of negroes wai journeying to Chicago with Jae' Johnson, with the banner of tl. world's championship floating from the car window. Special irains left Reno all last night and all to-day, trying to get 10,000 visitors back home. Thou sands stood for hours, grips in hand, waiting to clamber into the li rs t available train. Thousands gave it ni? and decided to wait for lighter I rallie. As a consequence the gambling houses were running full blast to night and the main street presented the aspect of a frontier mining camp at Ihe height of a gold striki A determined effort was made by losers in the fight betting to re coup losses. A; last accounts there were many who will have to wire hom.- for money, 'tin- financial con dition of hundreds, hi' by the light and the gaines, is desperate.

The lack of Johnson money was a surprise. The larg.-st individual loss on record in tin- pool room was that suffered by Clarence Berry,-a California oil operator. He bet nun on Jeff ries. Among the sporting men left there is not a dissenting opinion as to the justice to the light's ending. Many have nothing hut their return tickets to show for their Judgment on the outcome, lott no one says that Jeffries ever bad a chance with the negro after the light began. "Ile was whipped hefore be left Moana Springs for the ringside," said one man. "He left that he was to fall before the negro, and it was too much for him to face. As the hour approached his nervous condi tion became such that his mind lost all control over his body. It began Saturday and indicated itself in vari ous ways. "Sunday night be did not sleep a i wink, but walked about his room and ?looked ont of the windows. Yester j day morning he ate a light break fast. When he sat in the corner in the ring, Choynski, as he wrapped his hards, exclaimed: " "WI . Jim. ymir hands are as cold as ice. and clammy.' His sec onds thought even then that "ne was only a little nervous and that he would get over it in the light. "When I asked him to-day what he remembered from the time he enter ed the ring, be replied: " 'Well, I remember sitting in the j corner, and getting up and not being able to get my arms up right. 1 really don't remember much about what I did.'
