STAGE MONEY IN
The SIDE BET
Frisco Newspaper Says Fighters
Are to Divide the Gate
Money.

San Francisco, Sept. S.-The Chronicle says
today: From information that Was authorita-
lively given out late last night, 1T appears that
ever since three days after the articles for
the Britt-Nelson fight were signed, instead Of
the contest being a winner-take-aH proposition,
there has been agreement that the fighters
share should be divided on basis of 90 per
cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser.
Moreover, there is no side bet Of $4,000
In answer to the statements that have been
made to the effect that Nolan and Nelson were
objecting to the referee as an excuse for 'run-
ming OUT of the match because there no
losers end, 1t is said behalf of the Nelson
party that three days after the articles were
signed Nolan was approached in behalf of the
Britts, who claimed that the winner-take-all
proposition not satisfactory to Britt and
that the fighters share would have to be d.
vided on 60 and 40 per cent basis or there
would be no fight.
The demand was further made that the side
bet of $4,000 be declared off. Nolan argued
the matter, according to the statement, and
finally said his only desire to get Britt
in the ring, and that he would, In order to
secure the match agree to anything that was
fair In the matter. AS result second agree
ment was signed bearing the date of the fight,
that the fighters share of G5 per cent of the
gross receipts should be divided 80 per cent to
the winner and 40 per cent to the loser. The
So, 800 deposited by Nolan forfeit on the
side bet returned to Nolan and the check
for the same amount deposited by Britt was
returned to the maker.

WHOLE AFFAIR IS

Fight Followers Cannot Under
slant Britt Nelson Row
Over Referee.
New York Sun Special Service.

new 4OrK gun special SERVICE
San Francisco, Sept. S.-Billy Nolan has re-
ceded slightly from his position Of opposition
to Jefries as referee in tomorrows fight, by
deciding that if Promoter Coffroth would post
bond OF $4,000 that Jeffries would act the
level he would be accepted.
Nolan asserts that Coffroth, in endeavor to
get Britt to accept Graneyr said that he (Cof-
frOth) would post $4,000 more that Graney
would give Britt square deal. Now Nolan asks
Tor the same proposition with Jeffries in place
OF Graney. 1t Is almost certain that the fight
will come off as per schedule, and that Jeffries
Will be the third man in the ring. ~.
Jerries is due here today, and on his arrival
the question as to who will referee the battle
will be settled Urged by wires from Manager
Coffroth and Willie Britt, Jeffries left his home
at Los Angeles yesterday morning. Immediate
| ly on his arrival here he will meet Coffroth,
Britt and Nelson Corroth believes that when
| the fighters agreed on Jeffries some time ago
and posted forfeits they had their last say
! on the matter. and that it is up to them
to keep quiet and when the time comes to get
| into the ring and fight. -
Why Nolan has strenuously objected to Jim
Jeffries is mystery to every sporting man
in this city. That he can have no more honest
referee is certain. Some hint that jeff is too
! honest to suit Nelson's manager.
| The fighters have practically finished their
work for the battle. While both did some hard
time they crawl thru the ropes they will take
| things easy. Each claims to be at weight,
meaning that there is no more need for siren
nous training. Nelson looks trife heavy, but
| it is thought he will be able to dry out to
the required weight whenever he wants to do SO.
Britt's condition is perfect.
Betting records will go by the board on this
battle. So great Is the interest and so positive
are the admirers Of each scrapper that they have
| the right end of the argument that as
it Is known positively who is to referee there
will be rush to get the money down. AT
Harry Corbett's already there has been a LOT
of money put up, but the big gamblers are
holding off until they know who will interpret
the rules. 1t is expected that $3.50, 900 will
hang the result of the mill.
Britt was made 10 to favorite in the
betting done. A popular bet, and one which
is that the bout will go a certain distance
Even money that it will or will not 60 thirty
rounds Is a much-liked proposition upon which
a lot Of coin will hang when the fight day comes
along.
