THE JEfFRIEs. RuRLIN FIGHT.
Only Question Now Is to When il Will Be De-
clared OH.

Cincinnati, Jan. 13.-The agitation
over the Jeffries- Rubin fight here,
next month, continued, today. together
with informal conferences. Mayor
Fleischmann left for New York to be
gone u week and he left his ultimatuH
with the Saengerfest Athletic Assoc
citation. The mayor said:
las the matter presented itself to
me at the Friday meeting the applca-
ton for the permit was for the purpose
of getting out of giving a sparring
contest. l SO told the gentlemen pre-
sent at the conference. l also called
their attention to the fact, well-known
and understood by them, that it had,
from the first, been well understood
that the permit was to be issued at the
proper time for the contest and l add
ed that | stood just where | had stood
at the beginning and that if they went
on with their arrangements the per
nit would be in their hands two days
in advance. 1t is well understood that
this permit will be for Il sparring con-
test and for nothing else"
1t is learned here that if Mayor
Fleischman had issued permit in ad-
vance it would have been stopped at
Columbus if it had not been declared
Illegal in the Cincinnati courts. The
only question here now about the fight
among the agitators is as to the time
when the Saengerfast Athletic Club
will declare ii off.
