FRISCO WILL GET FIGHT.
A Close Friend of Jeffries Makes
Statement.

NEW YORK, February s.-One of
Jeffries' closest friends in this city de-
clared last night that the fight with Jack
Johnson would surely take place in San
Francisco July il for only one reason.
Jeff, he said. was opposed to the climate
of Salt Lake City and Nevada, and had
made up his mind long ago that California
was the best place for him to train and
meet the negro.
The boiermaker had some experience
in Nevada when ne helped to train Cor
bett to fight Fitzsimmons at Carson CITY,
and ever since he has favored California,
where he won battles with Corbett, Run
lin F'itZsmmons and others. Further
more, Jeff wants to fight Johnson where
he is sure of big crowd, for he doesn I
care to run the risk of losing the winner
share of the purse by default caused Dy
a lack of gate money. The big 1elioW
knows that Frisco can provide crowd
able to pay high rate of admission,
and that the promoters will be able TO
meet all obligations.
Jeff's friend stated that the boilermaker
notified Promoter Gleason last November
that he would not agree to meet John-
son outside of California, no matter what
might be the inducements. On the
strength of this information, therefore, II
looks very much as If Gleason, who Is
comforting with Tex Richard, has an ace
up his sleeve.

match, which was played at Noble last
year. will show that Philadelphia beat
Boston, and although New York gave
Philadelphia a bad beating in the singles
New York had to suffer a big defeat In
the afternoon, when the foursomeS were
played. / am sure that If ten of our
twenty best players instead of two would
venture into more of the national COM
petitions their names would figure more
often. AS for the golf courses In Phila-
delphia, l must say they were easy. But
the improvements of late years have put
Philadelphia In line with other cities.
Our courses. therefore, are no excuse for
not having better players"
Campbell spoke as follows:
Il have been around Philadelphia seven
years and l think can give you fairly
good opinion of the amateur golfers In
this section of the country. I consider
them equal to those in New York, Massa-
chusetts or any other state, and l think
if about ten or twelve OF our best play
ers would go in for amateur and national
championships every year and not stop at
one year they would figure more among
the first flight They should keep going
every year, and | think then that you
would find more Phiiadeiphians at the
top and winner, too, in short time.
