New Tork, Nov. 3. Jack Gleason of i

California will get the Jeffries-Johnson

world's championship fight If they

leave it to Jack Gleason. He will go as high as S0,000 in his bid. Gleason simply bubbled over with enthusiasm

when he talked of the great fistic attraction at the Knickerbocker hotel laet night. "They'll have to bid over the moon If they beat me to this fight," he said. "CofTroth is mistaken if he believes there Is any chance of my friendship for Berger influencing Jeffries in

favor of my enterprise. My proposition

is a question of merit, not of friend

ship.

"Before I tell you of my proposed

arena let me say that I was knocked from under my hat at the great change in Jeff's condition. You fellows here hardly realize the great work he has accomplished. I boxed and played hand ball with Jim in Los Angeles the week before he decided to break the ice and

come out of retirement. I honestly thought it impossible for him to shape

up for a fight, even though I knew him

to be a wonderful fellow.

'Now about my club. It's near Berke

ley, In Alameda county, and situated in

a new town. Ocean View, an Incorporated burg Just starting out In life. I own the ground on which the arena will be built.

"The arena will be the largest In the

world, exceeding In seating capacity the great coliseum built by Hugh Mcintosh in Australia for Barns and Johnson. The cost we estimate at $30,000. I intend to build a roof over it and make it a permanent affair. The roof,

however, will not go on until after the Jeffries-Johnson fight is settled. If we get it we want to take sunlight

pictures. . 'Don't think they are going to keep Sid Hester out of the running because of the twenty round bugaboo. Heater has been in touch with the San Mateo authorities, Coftroth's standbys, and they have given their consent to his building a plaoe in the same locality with CofTroth If he sends in the lucky bid. Hester will flgre in the finale, mind you. "I have had plans of the arena drawn up and I have them with me to show the managers and fighters. We figure to seat 25,000 people. The transportation couldn't be better. Friendship won't count in this matter. It is a case of going after a great attraction and using honorable business means to secure it, and In view of the fact that $75,000 has been offered by Sid Hester, I wouldn't be a bit backward about offering them $80,000. But what's the use of stiplating a figure. Til be there with one and I'll be bumping the fellow who outbids me."

GUI'S CANCELLATION

Naval Academy Accedes to

Request of West Point Authorities.

Washington, Nov. 3. The great annual football contest between the West Point cadets and Annapolis midshipmen which was to have taken place at Philadelphia Nov. 27, will not be played this year, final decision having been reached

yesterday by the athletic authorities of the naval academy to grant the request of the superintendent of the military academy to cancel the game, owing to the death of Cadet Eugene A. Byrne as a result of injuries received Saturday in the game with Harvard. The decision, which was made known at the navy department today and had been postponed In hope that some way might be found to play the game, which is looked forward to by the entire service of both army and navy. West Point, N. T.. Nov. 3. Cadet Eugene A. Byrne, who died on Sunday as the result of injuries received in the second half of the Harvard-West Point football game, was given a military burial in the Academy cemetery here yesterday. The funeral was attended by the entire body of cadets, the officers of the academy and the army post and by scores of friends of the young soldier. The parents of Cadet Byrne stood beside the grave when the coffin was lowered into it. Preceding the interment the cadet battalion marched, to the beat of muffled drums, to the Roman atholio chapel of the reservation, where the religious ceremonies were held. There were many floral pieces, sent by the representatives of educational institutions, and by personal friends. The post will be in mourning for thirty days.
