SAN FRANCISCO, sept 2s.-super-
visor Thomas Mcgee made a statement
this week which may modify, to some
extent, the attitude Of the board toward
prize fighting. lie said that permits
might be issued iJ-Ser for bouts known
TO be clean and on the level but that

by The supervisors to issue a permit
however, and as some of his colleagues
are known to be strongly opposed to
the game In any form, the promoters
do not seem to have rosy path before
