NO EQUAL DIVISION FOR JEFF
FRIES.
.ln every fight where the purse has
been split, there has always pcrn n
LOT of talk To the effect that the bout
was not on the square" said Jim JEFF
fries. regarding his fight with Fitz-
simmons. "If the terms and condi-
tions were left TO me, the winner would
take the whole purse or at least 70
per cent of II. If the loser receives
20 per cent of the purse mt big fight
he is certain TO have very much more
than his training expenses, and ! for
one think that the winner IL entitled
to II larger share Of the proceeds than
the loser"
On the other hand, FitZsimmons Is
stubborn, hanging out for an equal
division OF the money. Jcffrics Is care
ful OF his reputation. in this way, and
besides. the fact that he wishes the
division made on the plans he sug.
gcsts, is proof that he expects to win
the battle without fail.
