Trouble Over Forfeit Money.

San Francisco, Oct li-As a result
OF disagreement between the prin-
cipais over the status of the forfeit
money of $4,000. it looked for q time
tonight as though the Ketchel-J John
son fisht would not take place. Willis
6fltt. ketchefs manager, stated later
that an agreement had been reached.
however. and declared that the battle
would be fought on Saturday accord
ing to schedule. The first word of
the controversy came from Promoter
Coffroth. who announced that unless
he brought johnson to terms there
was little prospect that the fight
would take place. He hastened to the
negro's training quarters on the ocean
beach in an automobile Immediately
afterward.
Ihe forfeit money was posted sew
eral months ago, one man placing his
$4,000 i'm the hands of an eastern
stakeholder and the other entrusting
his to William Naughton. the local
sporting writer. 1t was understood
that this money was to be placed as
a side bet. johnson demanded today
that the money be gathered i'm one
mans hands. Britt and ketchel de-
INJURED to this. as the odds are three
to one against them today and they
disiiked to place money at even odds.
Johnson insisted and coffroth dashed
To the front to patch up an under
standing.
1t is said that Naughton has trans
ferred the money in his hands but it
~ not possible to learn who the new
stakeholder is. In view of Britt's dec
laration this is room to believe that
ketehel has acceded to Johnson's de-
mands, but there is still feeling of
in local sporting circles.
