COLMA CLUB WILL
GET THE BIG FIGHT

Chicago, February 5.-The Jeffries-
Johnson heavyweight championship fight
will be held before James w. Coffroth's
Colma club on July 4.
Coffroth. premier fight promoter of this
country, does not make this statement
direct, but reading between lines OF the
conversation James dropped here this
morning brings out the fact
Coffroth does not say that he is part
ner in the promotion of the big fight but
shows clearly why his club is the only
logical place to hold the contest, since
against the fight.
1.-The fight cannot be held in Salt Lake
City, for 1t would not draw $4,000 and
the purse alone is 100000 to begin with"
said Coffroth THE place is too small.
Secondly, the reports that the governor
will not permit it have killed all chances
for drawing a crowd. Frisco fans have
been educated to the fact that wherever
there is any interference from the author
tiles, danger of not holding the contest is
great. If Richard attempted to hold the
battle in Salt Lake, even should Governor
Spry come out with statement that he
would permit it, few people from Frisco
would take a chance to travel the thou
sand miles fearing that the eleventh hour
would bring the lid down on the game"
Conroth is on his way to Frisco over
the Overland Limited that will carry him
west and enable him to win his $1,000 bet

but the freshmen were game to the
last, and when the final whistle blew they
were fighting harder than ever before
against the heavy odds. In fact, 1t was
during the last three minutes of play
that they did one of the finest pieces
of defensive work seen on the local
gridiron in a long while. With the ball
on their one-foot line and first down for
their opponents, they met the three sue
cessive attacks, and when the last mass
of players was untagled the ball was
just little further away than at the
start.
The scores of the sophomores were
made by Gosa and Barnes the former

you pursue me in this way? Il am
