ENGLAND As LAST RESORT.
Jefries and Rubin May Attempt to
Fight in London.


New York, Feb. 19.-According to a
well known sporting man. an effort will
be made to pun off the battle between
Jeffries and Rubin In England next
summer. in case the pugiI1sts fail to find
a place in this country. When Brady
was abroad last year he opened negptI-
ations for club at London, which, he
thinks, if properly managed, Will be-
come a formidable rival to the Ma
tionaI Sporting club.
The house which Brady has is wen
adapted for holding championship bat
ties. Charley Mitchell says the English
public is anxious for battle between
big men, and he thinks there will not
be the least trouble in holding the en-
counter, despite the facts that both pug
lists are Americans Rubin never has
been abroad, and Billy Madden has been
longing for a chance to take the trip
with his big protege.
Manager Mooser, the eastern agent Of
the San Francisco Athletic club, had a
talk with Manager Brady today.
7 think the club will do everything
Brady requests, and feel confident the
fight will be held at Frisco on May T. 4
dent think there viii be any objection
on the part Of the governor. Boxing is
legalized in California, and SO long as
Rubin and Jeffries live up to the re-
quirements of the law don't see how
there can be any interference"
