Tex. Kicknrd, the man behind tho Into un pleasantness nt Reno, reached San Francisco today and opened up on the insido workings of the JcffricB Johnson fight deal in n way that wjll teach Rickard and Gleason's op posing bidders for the big scrap some new things about tho game. According to Rickard, tho opening of tho bids in New York was a more formality. Two days before, tho fighters, their mahagors and the moneyed gentlemen who had ambi tious to stage tho fight gathered ia New York to outbid each other, Rickard and Glcason had the' matter cinched and signed contracts in their, inner pockets. If their rivals had put up a million thoy couldn't have handled tho "battle of tho century." "I had both fighters signed up two days before Uncle Tom Mc Carey and tho others put in their bids," said Rickard today, grinning broadly. "There wore no other bids considered. The other promoters were, double-crossed; they didn't have n look-in. I signed both John son nnd Jeffries to fight for me. I dcalth with Johnson personally and with Bergor for Jeffries. Each fight er thought the other was being double-crossed. First I gave- Jef fries a bonus of $10,000 nnd he thought Johnson was getting tho worst of tho deal. Then I gave the same amount to Johnson." Rickard scouted the idea that Jimmy Coffroth was in for one cont of the profits. Glcason, he said, was in on tho donl with him only be cause Bcrgcr and Jeffries insisted. Beforo ho could sign the fighters- Rickard said ho had to put up $22, 000 with the stake holder, who was then ngrced upon. Ho also lent Johnson $10,000. "It was at first decidod to out the purse 75 and 25," said Rickard. "This agreement held until three days beforo tho fight when I asked John sou if ho wouldn't agree to cut the purso differently. Ho ugrecd to cut it oven but Jeffries would not agreo to this. lie finally agreed to cut it 40 nnd CO." Rickard was jubilnnt ovor tho fi nancial outcomo of tho fight. He exhibited checks for $00,000 nnd de clnrcd ho would bot tho whole sum thnt his estimnto of tho gate re ceipts was accurate. Ho dcclarod tho fight drew $270,775, of which Glonson nnd ho will got $120,000 in addition to one-sixth of the pietura receipts. WALLA WALLA GETS A TASTE OF THE I. W.W. WALLA WALLA.
