GLEASON SAYS FIGHT WILL
BE HELD IN SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.-Notwith-
standing the fact that Tex Rickard en-
phatically declares this evening that
the fight wifi go to Salt Lake City
Jack Gleason is out with the statement
that it will come to San Francisco.
Il have the power to name the battle
ground and l have named this city
said Gleason this evening. 1T makes
no difference what Rickard says. San
Francisco is the place, and this goes
I will bet $4,000 with anybody that the
fight is pulled off here. This bet can
be made at any time"
Though Gleason has not yet secured
a permit the general belief is that he
will land without much trouble. From
the present lay of the land, he is going
to get the March permit and ther
switch dates with one of the others SC
that he can pull the big fight off in
July.

| 1t is believed here that Hester is
stalling again, but as the san Mateo
county supervisors meet tomorrow and
! he will have an opportunity to present
his application for permit for Feb
ruary for a fight to be held outside
the city limits of Frisco he may be able
to make good. However, owing to the
fact that the board does not meet until
tomorrow it is believed that he is waite
ing to ascertain whether he will get
the permit before he posts the forfeit
that he would lose in the event he is
turned down by the county supervisors
If he does not have any more influence
in the county than he has in the city
he will pull up to the bad with his ap-
plication.
Monday, at the latest should tell the
tale without further delays and un-
certainties. Unless Hester gets the per-
nit then he will have to get out of
the running, as Jones and Wolgast are
weary of all the delay and pickering.
Nelson. too, will listen to the McCarey
proposition after Monday, unless Hester
is able to make some definite move.
The champion already is showing q dis
position to. talk business with McCarey
again and will not overlook such
juicy purse.
