there are higher and the men are cer-
tain Of a big attendance. L favor their
fighting in this city, and if they do l think
they Will draw a big crowd. I would like
to witness the mill and hope it is pulled
off here.
Billy Jordan. famous master of cere-
monles-Will they fight here? That is
hard question to answer. There are more
people in New York, but l don't think
they are as great lovers of the sport
our own Californians. If the heavy
weights could be got to fight in this
city people would travel miles to see the
go" 1t is beyond my expectation to see
the championship battle decided in San
Francisco. but l would be delighted to
see 1t brought about.
Harry Corbett-Hold the championship
battle here by all means. l do not make
this statement for selfish motives l sim
cerely believe that it will be beneficial TO
the city and State at large 1t will at
tract thousands of Eastern people here,
and in my judgment act as stimulus TO
every business in town.
Billy Nolan-There is no reason why
Sharkey and Jeffries can't meet in this
city. San Francisco has possibly more
ardent boxing enthusiasts than any other
city in the Union. It would be a good
thing for the city and 1 hope the project
will be realized.
Colonel Brady-Both men got their start
in this city, and they should overlook
whole lot in order to bring off their cham
pionship battle among the people who
started them on the road to fame and
fortune.
Billy Carkeek-San Francisco should bid
as high for the fight as any city in the
world.
Charlie Long-I am glad that there is a
possibility of bringing off the big go in
this city. Sharl1ey and Jeffries should
both warm to the proposition.
Sam Dannenbaum-I would like to see
the big fellows get together in this city.
Both are better known here than any
place else on the continent, and l believe
the people out here are more interested
in them than any other place in the world
Billy Pratt-Best thing ever happened
the town Get Jeff and the sailor to-
gether in this city by all means.
Jimmie Lawlor-I think the big fight
should be pulled off here. There is no
reason why Sharkey and Jeffries can't get
as much money here as any place else.
Tom Tracy-San Francisco should get
The San Francisco call., 1899-07-07

Nothing in the world would please Jeffries
and myself more than to have California
the scene of our next fight. JEFF Is es-
sentialy q Californian. Unlike other men
who have made their regulations here ne
has no desire to live elsewhere. He fought
with gloves made here and all MS
thoughts are of California. We are not
tied up to any club and if equal induce
ments are offered here we will use all
our influence for the local club. We are
not convinced yet that Sharkey will enter
the ring 1t seems appropriate that these
two men, both claiming California as
their place of residence, should be brought
together here.
Young Mitchell-A meeting in this city
between Sharkey and Jeffries for the box
ing championship of the world would at
tract unusual attention toward this city.
Snorting men from all over America
would come here and spend their money
freely. The men of this city are the most
liberal patrons of sport in the world.
which in itself guarantees the success OF
the project.
Eugene Van Court-The boxers should,
if possible fight here, where both are
we'll known and where they received their
first start up the championship ladder
know it would please Jeffries to fight
here. more especially if he had Sharkey
for an opponent. EVERY eIIoFI ShouIu pe
made to bring the men together here
Bert Nason-Quote me as being strongly
in favor OF the big mill being held in this
city We have a great sporting element
on this coast and the bout were TO take
place in San Francisco, the lovers OF the
snort would flow in from all quarters. II
would be to the advantage of both Shar-
key and Jeffries to fight on this coast,
as they could train with more comfort.
Again there is every indication that the
sporting people of the entire country
would come to the coast and witness the
fight This would mean the spending of
lots Of money and would be a big thing
to the merchants. l am afraid that the
Eastern clubs will offer a much larger
purse, but I for one hope that the heavy
weights will settle their differences right
here.
Joseph Kennedy would like to see the
men fight in San Francisco. They might
draw much better in the East, but this
being their home town, with good man
agement, they could easily equal their
money making chances. I hope they will
meet in this city.
The San Francisco call., 1899-07-07

the winner.
Frank McCOnnell-It's just the thing. 1t
would be a big card for this town, and do
a great deal toward giving the sport an
impetus. In my opinion the men them
selves would be benefited if they fought
here, as the climatic conditions are more
favorable for training. 1t will be excess
lively hot in the East about the time they
begin training for their contest and this
will surely affect their condition. No mat
ter where the men fight a crowd VIII
travel to see 1t. I think more people would
come West to see the go pulled off than
those who would travel to a hot center
like New York. 1t would be a splendid
thing If the big ones would settle matters
in California and l wish they would agree
to do so. Both are Californians and if they
fought here every one with any sporting
blood in his veins would save his dollars
to see the fight oil the century pulled off.
I want it here and hope the purse is large
enough to tempt them.
The San Francisco call., 1899-07-07

Aleck Greggains referee and fight man
ager-If Jefries and Sharkey were to
fight here it would be the best thing that
ever struck the town. They can make
as much money right here as they can
in the East. No matter where they fight
people will travel to see the mill, and II
the match were TO be pulled off here the
city would be thronged with people and
business would boom. l heard that
purse has been offered the men by re-
liable people, and l only hope they VIII
be tempted to accept it 1 am heartily
in favor of the big go being pulled off
here
De Witt Van Court don't see why the
fight cart be pulled off here. This is
one Of the best sporting towns of its size
in the world The people have shown by
their attendance a the various fights
that they love the sport, and it is there
fore my opinion that if the bout were to
be pulled off in San Francisco they could
do nearly as well as in the East. L heard
they were offered a big purse by the Glen
Park PEOPLE l hope both Sharkey and
Jeffries will look favorably upon their
offer as it is made by reliable people. 1t
is my opinion that the Glen Park people
would even offer more to get the big
fight, and 1 for one wish them the best
of success. Such a battle in San Fran
cisco would be a splendid thing for the
sport.
Al Smith, manager of Tom Tracey-I am
afraid the men will go East as the offers

The San Francisco call., 1899-07-07

the big fight, and if there is the slightest
chance to bring it off here everybody
in town should boost it along.
Jack Stelzner-Sharkey and Jeffries
ought to draw better here than in New
York. OF course the Eastern city has the
advantage of population and wealth, but
the people out here like the game better
than they do in the East.
Phil Wand-Sharkey and Jeffries should
do better here than any place else on the
continent. They ought to be able to put
up a better fight here, too, both being
thoroughly acclimated.
J. ]. Groom-Let them fight here They
both made their regulations in this State
and why should they not settle their dis
pute to the title in our midst? 1t would
be a great thing for the town, and l hope
they fight here. People would put up big
money to see Sharkey and Jeffries in the
ring and 1 therefore think the men would
do as we'll in this city as they would in
the East There are q hundred and one
reasons why the battle should take place
here, and l hope the fighters themselves
will bear a few of them in mind.
Gus Ruhlin-San francisco is great
sporting town for its size, but l don t
think it is big enough TO make 1t worth
the while of Jeffries and Sharkey to fight
here In New York they would be sure
of big attendance. Again, this is lit
tie too far out for people to come. L don
care where the men fight. I'll be there to
witness the bout and possibly challenge

..NIanager GIen Park Company.'

Manager Glen Eark Company.
This offer differs from that of New
man in no essential. The Glen Park
Company provides for a contest of
thirty rounds, while Newman is re
stricted TO the limit fixed by the local
authorities The only important Ques-
ton involved is locality, ana the fight
ers and their managers have only to de-
eide between a central accessible city
location and Glen Park. The question
of rounds will without doubt be salts
factOrily answered.
The Glen Park Company will also de-
posit with The Call this morning a GER
titled check for $4,000 as guarantee Of
it's good faith in the matter. This
would have been done last night, but
the offer of the company was made
after banking hours. The manager of
the company declares that his people
are enthusiastically in earnest over the
project and believe that no better scene
for the battle could be found than at
Glen Park This rivalry of bidders for
the great fight, taken into consideration
with the enormous amount of the
purses offered, gives promise that San
Francisco or it's vicinity Will win the
prize that is being sought. Nothing like
these offers has yet been made from
any other part of the country, and
what the big fighters say indicates that
at least one battle for the pugiliStic
championship of the world Will receive
its local coloring from San francisco.
The San Francisco call., 1899-07-07

pledge of my sincerity in this matter.
! viii leave this check with The Call
for thirty days. which, I think, is suf-
fcient time for the managers of Shar-
key and Jefflies to consider the matter
ard reach decision. I believe that
this contest would be a success but
that is my gamble and l am willing to
make it. / know that in many ways
there would be a benefit to the city tC
hold the fight here. 1t would attract
widespread interest and would draw to
the city the better class Of sports in
the United States.
The FeIodrome is the best place in
San Francisco TO hold such a contest.
ard l have already obtained a right to
it in the event Of the fight taking place
here. There are many reasons why
the fight should take place in the day
time and ! have no fear that the at
tendance would be limited on that ac-
count. I have every encouragement
ard confidence in the project and / ex-
pect to hear soon if not at once from
Jeffres and Sharkey or their represen-
tGtives'
Quick upon the heels Of Newmans
offer came another from the Glen Park
Company. which sees the advantage Of
having the fight held in San Francisco
or It's vicinity, and particularly at Glen
Park.
This second offer is identical with
that made by Newman. The Glen Park
Company offers purse of $4,000 and
Cxacts in the offer the same conditions
asked by Newman, that is to have the
fight take place some day in September
and in the daytime between the hours
of Q o'clock II The morning and
O'clock in the afternoon.
The authorized offer in full is as fol-
lows:
SAN FRANCISCO, July g. 1899.
To Messrs. james J. JeffTies ard
Thomas J. ShaI key--D Dear Sirs: The
Glen Park Company offers you purse
OF forty Thousand C$l0,00Q dollars for
a thirty-round contest. Marquis of
Queensberry rules. for the worlds
championship, to he held at Glen Park,
between September I and october l,
1899. ard between the hours of am.
and pm.
LAS a further guarantee the Glen
Park Company is willing TO make a de-
posit with some responsible party TO
be mutually agreed upon for any sum
to the full amount Of the purse as soon
as all the conditions are satisfactorily
arranged. Yours truly,
