Bob Armstrong was the first to go on

Ed Stuart, Robert Lyon, James Du-

nine local clubs and expects to land
as many more before many moons.
There will be no game at Westgate

SAN FRANCISCO, May 20.-The at
titude of the law officers of this city
toward the Jeffries-J Johnson fight was
definitely settled this afternoon by Dis
trict Attorney Fickert, who declared
that there were no legal grounds for In
terference.
IF the contestants comply with the
provision of the code and the ordin-
ance," he said, lit is not within my
power, the power of the police depart
ment or the sheriff to prohibit the fight
| have read the articles of agreement
between Jeffries and Johnson, and they
are in all respects within the statute.
1T is impossible for me to pre-
determine whether there will be vio-
lation of the statute or not. If during
the fight the principals or their repre-
sentatives violate the law they will be
punished AS has been stated by the
courts, both in this country and Eng
land, 1T is a question for a jury to
determine whether such a contest is a
sparring match or prize fight
"If a majority of the people of the
state of California are against profess
tional sparring exhibitions, their REM
edy lies with the legislature to prohibit
the same"
While in consultation with Chief of
Police Martin regarding the policing OF
the big fight, Tex Ricard was informed
of the decision of the district attorney.
He expressed himself as delighted with
the news, and said the promoters would
proceed at once with the detailed prep
arations for the contest.
The decision of the district attorney
was given in reply to a formal request
from the local Church Federation that
he should take steps to prohibit the
fight.
