SEATS At FIGHT HIGH
Admissions to Cost From $40
to $10O at the Jeffries-
johnson Battle.
TO ACCOMMODATE $4,000
Plans On to Build Monster Arena
Inside the Emeryville
Track.

San Francisco, March 10.-All local
fight fans were delighted today when
they heard Emeryville race track had
been chosen as the place for holding
the Jeffries- johnson fight, but the
prices of admission staggered most of
them It was announced, although not
officially that seats would range from
$40, in the bleachers, to 500 at the
ringside.
The space is so large that the outside
bleacher seats will command as good
a view those near the ring, 1t is
claimed Every seat will be number
ed. so that a man who buys a cheap
bleacher seat need not come any earlier
than the sport" who has a box seat
by the ringside. Seats will range in
price from $40 to 500 and anyone who
has a check for seat will get his
particular seat.
Gleason also plans to place blocks Of
seats with leading railroads in east
ern cities and have reserved seats for
the fight sold with railroad fare. In
this way any one in Chicago or st.
Louis may travel in peace and com
fort knowing that II he is late in ar
irving here that his seat is all right.
It has not been decided whether or
not the big grand stand, which was
accustomed to hold IL 900 to Is 900 peo-
pie at time, will be used for part OF
the arena. but 1t Is almost sure that q
