-There will be a fight between Jef- j fries and Johnson July 4. There will be no hirpodroming, and the purse of $101,000 offered will be paid, and it will be taken in at the gate,-too. The picture privileges do not control either the promoters or the fighters. There are only wo places where the champicnship tilt can take place Salt Lake City, and San Francisco, with the odds all' in favor of the latter place. There will be no splitting of the purse and no $10,000 was given to Jeffries to sign the articles. There you have everything in a nutshell." j The above was the summing up of the most salient points in the great fistic encounter between the present and the retired heavyweight pugilistic eham- . pion by J. J. Gleason of San Francisco, who;' in partnership with "Tex" Rickard, will stage the battle. Gleason stopped off in Chicago yesterday between trains and was the "busy bee" j while here. He came in at 4:30 and left for Frisco at 7 o'clock last night. His hurried departure was brought about

by the news of the death of his mother in San Francisco. The man who enginered the deal in

raising the purse of tne century asserted that there was nothing to con

ceal in regard to the details of the j fight. "Everything is above board and the i

question of a deal came about through

and he made me such an attractive offer to go in with him that when I put it up to Coffroth he advised me to go with Rickard as he could not meet the Ne-

vadan's offer. So it was that we secured the fight because we gave more than any one else when you come to figure it up. "As for the pictures. Rickard and I have nothing to do with them. All we get, if there are any pictures. Is one-

third of the profits. The fighters themselves will handle that end of it. As for the purse itself. We expect to take in enough at the gate to make the $101,000 purse a good business proposition. I expect to build an arena at Ocean View or else In San Francisco itself that will take care of all who want to see the battle. Now, as to prices. We haven't settled on that yet, but I expect something like $5 to $100 a ticket will be about right. "As to any other place than San Francisco, I do not think it would be wise to try it. Salt Lake is anxious to have the fight, but the only way they can get it there Is to put up the size of the purse before the battle." Gleason said he beleved that Jeffries would be back in Los Angeles about Jan. 1 and begin training right away. Johnson will train near San Francisco and will start work early In the spring.

Before Gleason left he held a conference' with Lou Houseman and Jim-

WITH THE FIGHTERS Being unable to get on a match with Jack Johnson, Sam Langford has decided to go to Paris and fight Joe Jeannette. From all accounts the recent Mike (Twin) Sullivan-Jimmy Gardner bout at New Haven was a morning glory. "Harlem Tommy" Murphy wants a bout with Ad Wolgast, but Ad Is busy trying to sign up with Abe Attell or Battling Nelson. G. W.

the murky atmosphere of the big structure.

The arena had been packed with the

champion stogie smokers of the world j since early Sunday evening and the poor

riders had to put an ounce of additional pressure in each limb to cut through the peculiar brand of air. For several hours in the morning the cyclists "fell behind the record mark, but they recovered the distance around

noon and then, by constantly digging away and changing partners more frequently than usual, they managed to stay in front of the relentless spirit. t midnight the leaders w-ere still a trifle over two miles ahead of Demara snd Hill's record of last year. It was the terrific half hour sprint shortly after midnight this morning that took the starch out of the men. Despite their ambition to do something, they were too exhausted to think of starting another tear. They loafed along and at 7 o'clock this morning they fell behind the old figures. Old Floyd McFarland was always out in front of the bunch, keeping them going at the same steady pace. McFarland" a partner, Jackie Clark, was a bit livelier than "Big Mac," for he al-

club for use next year In the promotion of the western stock chassis race. The field was given a substantial boost yesterday with the announcement that President M. C. Moore of the Wisconsin Automobile association had selected two sped routes in the southern part of Walworth county, Wis. Those badger state motorists are keen for the Cobe and Indiana trophy contests. President Moore has been hard at work for several weeks gathering data and the two courses submitted are said to be the finest in the middle west. The first couse is square, four and one-half miles to the lap, with a roadbed almost six rods wide the entire

distance. This course will need but little improvement aside frcm labor on the turns. It is situated three-quarters of a mile south of Whitewater and not far from Elkhorn. The other course is six miles around, of triangular construction, and- part of the stretch runs parallel with the Milwaukee road. At the automobile club it was announced that the officials had arrived at no decision as regards the future scene of the speed classic. The races will be held, however, according .to present plans. While the clubmen are in favor of selecting a course nearer Chicago than the Crown Point speed

way used last summer, chances are no decision wll be gven out for at least two months. One course in Indiana seems to be the favoite, although nothing will be announced until after the officials have traveled over those suggested by President Moore of the Wisconsin body.

Ebbets of Brooklyn Comes Out for 168 Games.

New York, Dec. S. John Heydler Is beaten for the presidency of the National league, according to Charles Ebbets, president of the Brooklyn club. Ebbets returned today from a canvass of the league and announced that Mur

phy, Brush, Herrmann, Fogle and himself will vote to depose the present head of the league. Ebbets comes straight from a conference with Garry Herrmann. If Herrmann throws Heydler down and abandons Dreyfuss he will probably' start a baseball war. It Is believed that the Ebbeta-Brush-Murphy combination will vote for John M. "U'ard. "I would like to see Heydler secretary, but he is not strong enough to be president," said Ebbets. "I am also for a season of 168 games and would like to see the season begin April 14 and end Oct. 16. Cincinnati, Dec. S.

the next best man sooner than cause a row, but that man will not be John M. Ward."
