Suit Against

There was rumor to the effect

Fourth. According to the yarn, a
bunch Of transbay magnates club

of suburban lots in Ocean View and
sent Gleason back East to get the
big fight. Gleason fell down" on
the Ocean View proposition, when
Richard showed where he could
command enough money to offer
the $101, 900 purse and offered to
declare Gleason in, the Genial One
decided to toss in with the Nevadan
and give up the idea of swinging
the deal himself. Now his Ocean
View associates want share Of
Gleason's bit" arguing that he
was representing them in every
thing that he did. Jack, however,
simply laughs at the charge, de-
claring that he is not in position
to part with any share Of the Rick
ard Gleason profits or deficits; for
the reason that the Rickard-Glea-
son combination is entirely sepa-
rate and distinct from the Gleason
Ocean View club combination. The
matter may be brought to court be-
fore the big fight comes off.
