The central and Business high school
teams engaged in a warm contest yes
terday afternoon. and at the finish the
score stood to > in favor of the former
outfit.
Both teams carried a large crowd of
rooters to Union League Park, and they
urged on their respective favorites from
the opening to the close of the struggle.
By winning the Central lads clinch the
championship for this year. The Bust
ness team is a good aggregation. but
couldn't win.
BOteler pitched sensational game,
striking out nineteen batsmen, and in
only one inning could the Business lads
hit the ball safely with runners on the
sacks.
Burley also pitched a good game for
the Business boys. but he was unfor-
tunate in letting the Centralites get to
him in punches.
Neither side scored in the first five in
nlngs. and the spectators were wild with
glee over the good showing of both
teams. In the sixth the Centralites broke
the ice, scoring a run, and their rooters
ait 1t up for fair. Then came the I'M
lucky seventh, when Central chased three
runs over the plate and practically
cllnched the game, as we'll as the cham
pionship.
Not until the ninth inning did the
BUSINESS boys get a runner over the
rubber. when they punched two singles
and double and scored two runs.

I'm going to do most of my boxing with

SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-The JEFF
fries-Johnson battle is absolutely safe in
San Francisco, so far as official action
is concerned. This was the statement
issued yesterday afternoon by District
Attorney Charles NJ. Fickert. 1t came in
the form of an answer to the members
of the Church Federation, which body
is doing all in its power to prevent the
great battle.
Fickert announced that he could see
nothing wrong with the plans of the
fighters or the promoters SO long as the
state laws license boxing contests. The
district attorney has no power to inter
fere, is Fickerts opinion, SO he practi-
cally dismissed the church delegation
with this answer.
Tex Richard and Jack Gleason held a

learned Of Fickert's favorable report. 1t
swept away the last possible obstacle
in the way Of the championship contest
in San Francisco, and from now on it
looks like smooth sailing for everybody
concerned.

nance he said, lit is not within my
power, the power of the police depart
ment or Of the sheriff to prohibit the

ment between Jeffries and Johnson, and
they are in all respects within the stat

mine whether there will be violation
of the statute. If during the fight the

late the law they will be punished. AS
has been stated by the courts, both in
this country and in England, it Is a ques
ton for a jury to determine whether
such a contest is sparring match or a
prize fight.
If majority of the people of the
state Of California are against profess
sional sparring exhibitions the remedy
lies with the legislature"
Site for Arena Chosen.
The fight will take place in an arena
to be built especially for the purpose at
Sth and Market streets, close to the heart
of San Francisco. A years lease of the
property has been secured and the build
ing to be erected will be constructed
along the identical lines proposed for the
Emeryville structure. Thus no change in
the seating of spectators will be entailed
"a fact that is giving much satisfaction
to the early purchasers Of tickets.
1t is estimated that a million feet of
lumber will be used in the construction
of the gigantic structure. The arena is

necessary seating capacity of 5000 can
