both casea MaCredt acored through the
overaigbt of bla rival bidders. ,
Ona young man that the Buccaneers
wanted mighty bad waa Dick Steen,

waa a little legerdemain on tha part of
somebody. Pittsburg wanted to put In
a draft for Steen from the Blooming

club claimed to have a prior right to tha
brilliant young slabatv. '.VhtU both

FRISCO IS BOUND TO BE SCENE
OF BIG JEFFRIES-JOHNSON FIGHT
By Will J. Slattery.
San Francisco, Dec. 11. It has been
definitely decided that the Jeffries
Johnson fight will come to California
and the chances are that it will be
fought-at Jim Coff roth's Mission street
arena. While promoter Tex Rlckard in
dignantly denies that Cof froth, the king
of all the prize fight manipulators, haa
a hand In the affair, the wise fans only
wink to themselves and wonder why
Coffroth Is going to allow Rlckard and
Gleason to use his arena for the pur
pose, especially as he ia planning to
hold many fights there himself during
me coming spring and summer.
The fans all over the country are very
suspicious over tha way the promoters i one of tha three clubs
ana the principals have acted. Those
mysterious conferences and agreements
have not done much to boost the bla-
Issue. Most everybody believes that
some sort of a scheme Is about to be
cooked up, but Just what It is nobody
San Francisco a bit more wide open
after the first of the year and the
fighters and managers are looking for
ward to a great game when the Mc
Carthy regime goes. Into power. This
Is one of tha reasons why Coffroth is
outlining hfs extensive plans for bring
ing on the British fighters. It Is un
derstood that he may break back Into
the game here. If he does, he is likely
to operate two clubs, as he is still the
master of the situation down In Ban
Mateo county.
Fisticuffs bost Money.
The game of fisticuffs was not
paying one last year so far as San
Francisco proper waa corncerned. Only
tha Mission
club, made any money. . Tha others
quit several thousand dollars In . the
hole.. The affairs of these clubs were
handled by -men who did not know
the boxing game, and they were held
ly he remained Idle moat of the time.
He would not turn professional.
Finally, he was Induced the other day
to go after tha money and he signed up
with Smith. If he knocks the sailor
out Schulken will be right In the lime
light. He Is a bigger man than Al
Kaufman, standing 6 feet 2 inches In
height and weighing 210 pounds when
stripped. He has beaten avery roan ha
ever met and most of them fell, from
his wallops In one, two and three rounds.
He's a great possibility, providing that
he ia there with the stamina and the
heart, and tho meeting with Smith
should prove this.

Where the money that Rlckard and
Gleason has guaranteed la coming from
Is a myetery. Neither of them are
wealthy. Three months ago, Rlckard
was broke around San Francisco. When
he first bid for the fight, he stated that
he was backed by Salt Lake- capitalists,
but this story haa fallen by the way Side
now that the fight is to. come to Cali
fornia. Gleason haa never even claimed
any backers. Ho merely posted his
5000 certified check and. assured the
flghtera that the balanoe of the money
would be posted.
England's three area teat little fight
ers. Freddie Welsh. Jem Driscolt and
Owen Moran, will shortly be brought

Coffroth is now on his way to London
to talk business to them and Incidentally
to get a Una on -the moving picture

Bxltoms Showed Class.
Coffroth hopes to sign Welsh with
Battling Nelson for the lightweight
championship. Drlsroll with Attell for
the featherweight crown and Moraa
with Wolgast for special 123 pound

boxing authorities recently provided for.
All these little Englishmen .have done
a deal of fighting In tha land ef th
Sura and Stripes, and they showed that
they are there with plenty of class and
ability.
