PLANS FOR BIG FIGHT Immense Stadium of Steel Will Seat at the Least
 3O,OO0.
AN ENDURING STRUCTURE
How and Where Jeffries Will Train Those Who Will
 Help.

Judging from the present outlook the staging of the Jeffries-Johnson l battle and the building of the arena will be conducted with/many novel in- novations and features never before seen at a prize fight As explained by Promoter Gleason the arena will be unlike any that has ever been erected for a pugiIistic encounter.
 It is the intention of Messrs. Me Laughlin and Walsh. the architects to build a circular structure of steel and timber capable of seating at least 30,- 900 spectators, each one of whom will have an equal and unobstructed view of the doings within the ring The structure will be built to a height which will bring the topnost tier of seats at least sixty feet from the ground and the floor of the arena will slope at such an angle that each row of chairs will give, a clear range of vision over the heads of the spectators in the next lower rows.
 An interesting item in connection with the seating of the spectators is the announcement that each section of the bow1-shaped structure will be divided into 1ettered and numbered dl- visions and that elaborate system of dividing the various compartments will be used Beginning at the ring side, the box seats. which will be sold at $50 and $50 each, will be divided from the next tiers by heavy barbed wire fencing. There will be but one entrance through this baricade and no one will be permitted to pass through unless he holds a coupon calling for a. seat within.
 The second section of seats which will surround the boxes will sell for $25 and $15 and will also be reserved by letter and numbers as the case with the ordinary theatre seat coupon An other cordon of barbed wire will di- vide this section from the $1O seats df- rectly above. These two will be re- served and will be overlooked by the upper tiers, which will be sold at price of g each.
 At a. recent meeting of the town trustees of Emeryville it was agreed that ordinance should be passed boxing entertainment to be held within the township each year. For this privilege the promoters of this enter tainnent must pay a license fee of $2, ZOO.
 Gleason has been trying to hit up- on a scheme whereby special railroad ed upon one piece of cardboard. It is his idea to have a complicated ith- ograph scheme embossed upon each card in order to do away with the possibility of counterfefting by ticket spectators. If he succeeds in arrang- ing with the railroad company for a combination ticket each will be print ed in a different color and will be ex- changed for seat reservations within a day or two before the fight.
 The fight promoters are not the
  sam Berger, who is travelling with is engaging additional train CTS and helpers for Jeffries and the plans for his training camp at Row ardennan. in the Santa Cruz Noun tains. are rapidly being completed. The camps will form part of the small hotel at Rowardennan and will include in addition to the usual training ap- pliances a handball court where Jef- fries can work up speed.
 The hotel will be enlarged in order fn a others who will make their headquar- ters there once the training routine is started The San Lorenzo River will be damned at a point near the camp in order to afford bathing and boat ing facilities for Jeffries and his train CTS.
 = The supervisors are planning to inn prove the condition of the roads from Santa Cruz to Rowardennan in order to accommodate the increased auto mobile and stage traffic which it is will be necessary to handle the host of visitors who will visit Jef- fries's camp. The Southern Pacific railroad expects to run weekend ex- cursions from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Santa Cruz in order that portunities to see Jeffries and his trainers at work. It is not unlikely that in order to keep the prospective crowds within reasonable limits an admission fee will be charged Twen- ty-five cents on week days and soc tariff. and if Jeffries's helpers include as has been suggested, Jim Corbett, Frank Gotch, Farmer Burns, Sam Langford, Joe Choynski, Jim Barry and few others, the show ought to be worth the price.
