the governors instructions Attorney
General Webb has indicated that
steps will be taken at once to stop
the Langford-Ketchel go, scheduled
for Saturday Since this battle is
only two days away, whatever action
is taken must be taken with all pos
sible haste, and a decision in the
matte rof this fight will cover exactly
the same points as will be covered in
the proceedings against the Fourth
of July contest, the decision over the
Langford fight viii practically settle
the Jeffrie3 johnson case.
If tine fight is stopped attorneys
here today declare there is hardly a
possibility that the bigger battle can
be pulled off in California. Should
the fight 0e stopped and an appeal
taken, attorneys declare that it IS
extremely unlikely that any effort 10
stage the big battle could be made.
since there would be an added ele-
ment of uncertainty that would make
the risk of financial loss so great that
promoters and principals would not
care TO face the risk.
Since affairs have taken this turn
the eyes of the sporting world today
are TUNED on the Langford-Kaufman
battle and it is for the time being
overshadowing in Importance the
bigger fight.
If the courts refuse to grant an
injunction against the Langford fight
and the s:torney,general carries out
instructions to bring criminal pro-
ceedings against the fighters and pro-
moters it is expected this also will
influence the final decision regarding
the Jeffries show, according to at
torneys. The uncertainty that would
follow would have a dispiriting effect
on the promoters of the big fight, and
it is believed that it may hurt gate
receipts" Therefore, the moves Of
the officials against the Langford-
Kaufman show will hold the center
of the stage, attorneys say.
In the meantime Gleason and Rick
ard, who had a long conference with
their attorneys last night, are ready
to fight today They declare there
is absolutely nothing in the law TO
prevent such a contest as the one
they plan; that they are within the
law, and that the fight will be held
in the big arena at Eighth and Mar
ket streets.
Despite the threatened action
against the contest carpenters today
were merrily working away on the
arenas at Eighth and Howard and
Market and Eighth streets, Louis
Blot, promoter or the Langford-
Kaufman go, has only two days TO
finish his arena, and he ordered the
men to rush the work.
The arena for the Jeffries-J Johnson
fight is also being rushed to compile
tion. The big force that has been
working there we're on hand today
and nearly two dozen men are at
work.
1t was reported late yesterday that
the contractor had been asked to call
off his men keeping only a small force
on for show. Today however, the
full force was at work. 1t is UNDER
stood that the promoters decided to
go on with the work. after a long
consultation with their attorneys.
