San Francisco. Sept. THE ques-
ton OF referee for the Britt-Nelson
fight is still In the air. Coffroth not
having made reply to Nolan's offer
froth deposits a $4,000 bond guaran-
teeing fair deal. Nolan declared
this morning this is the last PROPOSE
ton he will make. and II not accept
ed there will be no fight.
A majority of the fight fans are
Inow inclined to believe Nolan is
merely bluffing and when It comes to
a showdown he will withdraw his
objections to Jeffries. At the same
time Nelson reiterates the statement
that any man but Billy Roche will
do. and insists there will be a fight.
Some are inclined to believe Nolan
Is making play to affect the odds.
Il Is argued II Nolan can create the
Impression Nelson is getting cold feet
tho odds will fall down to as good as
$50 3.
tJeffries left Los Angeles this morn
ing and will arrive late tonight. II Is
not believed the ex-champion will re-
fuse to referee in the face OF Nolan's
objections. Despite the efforts OF the
boiermaker's friends to have him step
out and permit an adjustment of the
question. no satisfactory settlement is
apparent. II is likely conference
between Coffroth. Willie. Britt. Nolan
and Jeffrles will be held Immediately
after the latter's arrival
In Perfect Condition.
Britt and Nelson are taking things
easy today. Both are In perfect con-
dition and within u pound of weight
Practically all hard work IL cut out
Neither man is doing much boxing
not caring to take chances in injur-
OF light nature and only enough
gymnasium stunts to keep the muscles
from stiffening. Is about all the fight
crs are indulging In.
The betting continues 10 to 7.
Billy Nolan made the statement
this afternoon that unless Coffroth
places $4,000 as forfeit that JEFF
fries will give fair decisions. some
other referee must be chosen. Nolan
is strong In the demand for George
Siler, of Chicago. and still believes ST.
Ter will he the third man in the ring.
VIII Put Up S25,OOO.
Coffroth came back this afternoon
with the announcement he will put up
$4,000 forfeit If necessary that JEFF
fries will give fair decisions, and II
NOT, he stands by the statement re-
garding a forfeit fight.
