SAN FRANCISCO, July 7. 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.
