Chickering's and
Holdups May Cost
Frisco Big Scrap,

The following from the Boston Post
seems to ring true:
The windup of all this scrapping of the
big fight promoters over the division of
the JeffriesJohnson spoils is likely to re-
suit in the bout being brought off at some
other place than San Francisco.
Tex Richard, who is the man who put
up the solid money to get the match, re-
mains |the real thing, i'll spite of the
mouthngs OF Gleason, Berger and the
rest.
One Jimmy" Griffin, whose incorporat-
ed name is the broadway Club has
taken time by tho foreiock and secured
the only fight permit that the San Fran
cisco supervisors can grant for July.
Griffin is a rank outsider, and the SUPER
visors are apparently at their old tricks
They gave Griffin that permit solely for
the purpose of a holdup.
When Richard went to see Chairman
| IIerget of the police commissioners he
| was referred to Griffin. Griffin was ready
to give up the permit to Richard. Yes.
| indeed. he was willing. All he wanted
was 5000
Now five thousand isn't much, one way
or another. to Richard. But Tex is a
| hshter with.a square jaw, apd he'd scrap
! long and hard before he'd give up $1,000
or five cents to a holdup man.
So Richard now says fatty that the bat
tie won't come off in San Francisco on
any such terms as that. He still insists
that the battle can be brought off at Salt
Lake, where $4,000 bonus is offered by
a number of business men. who are still
determined to have the fight in Mormon
town.
Dick Ferris of Los Angeles, who is
known to be "a reliable party since his
| successful promotion of the airship con-
sress, has offered Rickard and, GLEASON
Sl5e,ooefto sell out their interest rir the
battle The 100000 purse would, of course
have to come out of that, but if Ferris
| can come through s4s.O0e would be a neat
little profit for Rickard and Gleason for
