company was to neet wIth tr RIckard later the next day As the news that Salt Lake could at ast count on the big contest became noised about the streets It was with a L hurrah that the word was wa receIved Some were still skeptical but till Lii hoped It it was true In the business district there was a general and a rush was made to corner omer the pro promoter moter who had stood b by Salt Lake ke keTo To Jack Curley and a group ot of friends RIckard saId From the very first I was In favor tavor of at Salt Lake as the scene for the contest between JE and Johnson In naming Salt Lake I Iam nm am not overstepping myself My agree agreement meat ment with my partner Jack Gleason Is givIng me the prIvilege ot of naming the place to be the scene of at the event By this power I am naming Salt Lake or ora ora a spot in its Immediate vicinity I came over from Ely to be present at conference with your Salt Lake boosters The representative bankers business men and professional men at the meeting assured me of a positive guarantee to hold the meeting Sn n Utah Their word is good enough for me Not Alfter Aft r Any Money My announcement brands as lies libelous and malicious stories sent out lately tram from the coast saying that Iwas I was holding a big stick BUck over San Francisco to 10 offer me a bonus In order to hold the Uie bout there and further stating that Salt Lake was vas out of the Question as the meeting place between JeffrIes and Johnson Right here I wish to state that I am amnot amnot not In this game to make any money Contrary to 10 libelous reports I am amnot amnot not broke still stUl I would much prefer preter to be broke to telling the lies that are be beng Ing ng circulated about this contest Salt I Lake City fa the place and you can bank on that Until the final agreement is reached with the parties partis who are to stage the bout the details of the great affair cannot be learned Rickard however Is known as a man of his word He has made it as good as gold In mall all his bush busi business bushness ness and sport ventures thus far and even his enemies say that his record Is a clean one One of 01 the features o the announce announcement announcement ment of the success of Salt Lake was the glee of the hundreds Interested in inthe Inthe the sour faces that will be seen in San Francisco when the word reached that city Repeatedly have the coast writers took occasion to put obstacles les In the way of both Rickard and Salt Lake Their unfair attitude has made them no friends in Salt Lake and the fact that Salt Lake won out from San Fran FranIsco Francisco cisco Isco adds to the welcome extended announcement Tex Tax Rickard will remain in Salt Lake until the first of at the week when his business calls him to Ely He returns to Salt Lake to meet Jeffries Saturday and Berger are due to arrive early Saturday morning with Gotch Dr Roller and the other members of the big athletic show which will be seen In the evening Rickard says he hopes to m make ke the definitE announcement of the place ot of the battle before he leaves Salt Lake for tor Ely This will be either today or Monday a That M Missing Article A report came Caine late last night from New York that the missing ar tide of the Gleason agreement had been Jt It was to be a picture fIght and that the battle was to go to San Francisco When shown the above dispatch Mr Rickard turned over his original articles and the agreement made between the parties which substituted the seventh clause In the tho original agreement I 1 have to sa say that there Is no agreement between Jeffries Johnson and Gleason and myself other than the two I 1 have handed to you he said I also have the same amount to say that the contest will be held In Utah 1 am tired of making this offer to all the knockers It has stood long enough W t be taken could anyone dispute my word The agreement substituted for the soy sev seventh clause In the original reads This agreement made this day of December 1909 as an addendum to the main con contract contract tract between the undersigned parties hereto Is to the effect that article seven seen be and the same Is hereby nulland null and void and of no no binding effect on any of the parties thereto That a corporation be formed and that Jeffries and Johnson are to divide all the stock Issued In equal parts and It Is

L RIckard James JamesS S 1 Jeffries John J 1 Gleason Mr Richard Rickard explained that the tho second agreement was asked because both Jet Jef Jeffries fries and Johnson thought that were the promoters to side with one or the other of them In handling the pictures the theother theother other would lose his voice In the mat matter matter ter As It stands now JeffrIes and Johnson wilt will handle the pictures and while the promoters get the same one third per cent they have no voice In the management of the pictures |
