SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 2-The news
from New York that the Jeffries-J ohm
con worlds championship fight would
be held in san Francisco, although not
unexpected, has caused keen satisfac-
ton among ring followers in this city.
Already speculation as to the loca-
tion of the battle ground is rife, and
the consensus of opinion is that the
contest will be held just outside the
city limits.
The laws Of California permit finish
fights, but contests in San Francisco
are so regulated by the municipal au-
thorities that only twenty-round exhi-
bitions can he given.
There Is ground for belief, however.
that owing 10 the tremendous i'm

to hold an unlimited contest in san
