SOME INSIDE FACTS.
"Tex" Richard Tells How He Secured
Jeffries- johnson Fight.

San Francisco, July 8.-"Tex" Rick
ard has given some inside facts about
the deal by which he secured the JEFF
friesJohnson fight two days before
bids were opened in Jersey City.
The fighters were signed UP with
me two days before the opening OF
BIDS said yesterday When l went
to New York l saw joker in their
contract. 1t stated that best induce
ments' would be accepted l knew
that meant they could do as they
pleased.
Il worked on Johnson and also on
his wife. l offered Johnson a bonus
of $4,000 and told his wife l would
buy her a sealskln sack if her hus-
band would sign. The champion ac-
cepted and in addition l had to loan
him $500 when the articles We're sign
ed.
Most of the negotiations with JEFF
fries were worked through Berger.
Berger told me that he had promised
Gleason the fight and he said: You
can't get the fight without Gleason.
That was why | took Gleason into
the combine. My contract with Glea-
son called for me to furnish all the
money, while he was to have half the
profits.
1T was further stipulated that he
was not to have any partner and
whether Berger was in with him or
not l do not know"
Richard refused to state whether he
gave Sam Berger bonus, but on the
best of authority it may be stated
Berger received $500
Johnson signed his contract with
Richard two days before bids were
opened and Berger and Jeffries sign
ed the day before.
Richard says if he can sign up Sam
Langford and Tommy Burns for Sep
TENDER in Reno he may pull off this
bout. He thinks this is the only good
fight in sight. ga
