as they have promised there will he
many great ring matches during tba
next six months.
As for Jeffries. Coffroth is satisfied
that there is absolutely no chance ~
eiiliee the great retired champion into

message Coffroth says that Jeff will

~ at all 1t is evident that James

ins ne SAID that he did not have much
iai'h In jeff, and intimated that he
wouid work on johnson and Ketchei
nrsl or all just what inducements
cofroth viii offer them remains to
be seen.
Coftroth, like many others. is labor
ing under the belief that Jeffries would
IKE to sec Johnson in action before
oeclding upon going against the black
gan himself In the event that John
son beats ketchel and there is nobody
else in the field, Coffroth probably fig
ures that jeff will then step forward
and say the word which they have all
been waiting for
coffroth has great fight card com
pleted. The first one on the bill will
come off May 5, Wien Kelly and Papke
nook up for the third time. On top
OF TINS comes Nelson and IIyland Nav

good chance to land the winner for
PacNey Mcfarland July 4. And to
round 1t out. he viii have Ketch and
johnson for Portola week.
The Mission street promoter certainly
made good job out of it. faring bet
ter than his most intimate friends
hoped he would. He is off to a great
start, and he should get away with the
game very nicely. barring accidents and
upsefs in the meantime. Incidentally.
ne seems TO have taken up all the live
ones for himself and left his rivals in
the cold.
