FIGHT WILL GO ON.
Promoter Coffroth Now Holds the $40,
600 Side Bet Stakes.

San Francisco. Calf. oct. 13.-Tha
disquieting rumors that tomorrow's
championship fight between ia *
Johnson and Stanley Ketchel might
be declared off because of a dispute
over the $4,000 side bet agitated the
pugiliStic world today. but the official
announcement Of Promoter J. w. Coz
frOth tonight that he had taken pos
session of the $4,000 stake by the two
principals has allayed ali fears.
1t is believed that the trouble was
due to the refusal of the appointed
stakeholder to continue in that ca
pacty. This refusal is said to have
been caused by Il fear of legal compli-
cations. for by the terms of the new
antibetting law in this state it is
felony for anyone to act as a stake
holder. notwithstanding this Coffroth
took charge Of the money and gave
each of the fighters a receipt for his
share. There is now no doubt that the
side bet will stand as originally made.
