Although James j. Jeffries and Bob
Fitzsimmons were unable to agree upon
terms when they had their little chat
in New York Saturday evening, sport
ing men believe that they will eventually
sign articles.
The matter now rests on ten per cent
dispute. and a word from either fighter
would clinch the matter at once. Jeffries
and his friends believe that he has been
very generous in the offer he has already
made to Fitzsimmons OF 90 per cent 10
the winner and 40 10 the loser. and say
that il there Is any further concession
IL should come from the former champion.
The best terms Jeffries intended 10
make were g. and 80, but he was so inn
pressed with the Cornishman's request
for better inducements that he finally
consented 10 ~ and 40.
Jeffries said today that there was no
doubt in his mind but that Fitzsimmons
would get more money on a 90 and 10
basis than by splitting the money equally.
