Sports Facts Regarding Jim Coffroth's Past and Present Connection With the Fight Game in This City JIM COFFROTH Several of the assistant conspirators in 'Coffroth's continuous performance game ;of befooling the public, among the sporting writers of San Francisco, have persistently belittled , the legitimate Britt-Xelson match scheduled for San Francisco for fear it would injure the Colma hippodrome.- One of these writers, who has posed as a dictator'in San Francisco sporting circles, has an interest in the success of the fourth of July fight as the press agent of the Australian mystery, and\ also -is the vic tim of an unreasonable chagrin because this newspaper, which stands out for square sport and the public's end of the game, was chosen in recognition of this fact bojth as the stakeholder for -the $30,000 Nelsori-Gar.s fight at Goldfield, and as the forfeit holder of the present Britt-Nelson; match.;,, Another^ to whose flaunted motto, *\ No axes to grind, no fighters to boost,'' might be added in completion of the trinity, "Xo news^to give," is said to have been offered the honor of being made the stake holdenof one of the Colma preliminaries, and in gratitude fdeclaresj. over ; his ."Not^because^Uis'fGofi roth, but because he showed his good intentions, and because the public can look more to him than to Nolan to build up the boxing game, he is deserving of success and encouragement." : «'/ \u25a0. ; ' . \u25a0 And so these writers of the Coftroth household joined hands to boost the game inGolma fora man who, "because of his crooked dealings in the fight game in this city cannot get a 'permit in r San Francisco, . against the interest of clean sport within the county where they get their main-support. They "stand in" on a public-cinching enterprise of a discredited promoter, who is -withal a "good fellow" and generous, because of dislike for a manager the Coffroth coterie cannot use to their own advantage. This manager's great crime is that he gets the best he can -for the fighter who employs him and that he plays the game openly and above-board with the public. > . . T 1 Some specious " argument in Coffroth's behalf has been made to the effect that Nolan should not have attempted to hold a match in San Francisco on the eve \of a fight already arranged by Cof-j froth in Colma. Why not? It might hurt a crooked game in Colma, but wherein could it injure clean sport in San Francisco? The public could take its choice of the two matches or try both. They, were not to be held at the same hour or even on the same day. Who cares about the • promoters, , any, way? They are entitled to support only when they play the game according "to the rules arid give matches that are Worth patronizing. Thereis nothing in the rules that, requires San- Francisco to yield to Colma or vice versa, and if a promoter loses money through a bad match or a poor date; that's his affair, except so far as his sporting writer assistants choose to make it theirs., . C ' And what, in the name of square sport, does Nolan or the prizefight public, either,igfqr; that matter," owe Coffroth? Goffroth "welched" openly with regard to the $5,000 he agreed to pay>N6lan arid Nel son for their interest in the Britt-Nelson pictures; he combined to keep Nolan and Nelson outofthe fight game in San Francisco, and he formed a trust for the purpose of controlling all the prizefight per mits in San Francisco. Now that he is forced to go outside^ the county because of the unpopularity! of the grafting and "cinching" business in" San Francisco, he is entitled to mighty little consideration either from Nolan or the public that has been his meal ticket Driven out of the city so far as the boxing business is concerned, Coffroth - had : a poolroom opened in the ; back room of his saloon at 1517 Ellis street for the purpose of selling pools on the Colma fight. Coffroth is believed to have been the backer and real owner. In a fake fight arir individual bet tor may win by guessing correctly.which fighter is scheduled for the decision, but the backers of '.the.' fake take no chances. The bulk of the public money gets into the backers' pockets.?: What chance ;has the public in a poolroom backed by the promoter of a match one of the principals in which Has a faking record as long as Abe Ruef's reach?- , , *"It will hurt the game" is the cry that goes up from a certain bunch of sporting \u25a0\u25a0writers; when aiiy one starts to tell the truth about Coffroth's attempted domination of prize ; fighting irr Sari r^Flrancisco ." Hurting the game with them means keeping the public from being "cinched." WhenVthe game gets into the hands of a band of buccaneers masquerading under the name of sports it needs a few; jolts.

The figures given out .by -Coffroth's ;\u25a0 principal ; booster among the San Francisco sporting writers intended to prove that the promoter would lose a big wad of money in case Squires" sfiould win, coupled wi^h a previous statement credited to the Colma camp that the moving pictures contracted: for would be a financial, failure unless the Australian should be declared the victor, has- had a far "different from that intended. -- • The fact that, Coffroth is not in .the business for. his health is \u25a0well known, and it is also pretty generally understood that his present financial condition is not such as to warrant him' toying.; with an uncertainty in the prize fight line. The character of; the men sigaed vp c for the mateh — one fresh from his participation in the rankest kind of a fake at Los Angeles, and the other an .unknown, touted as a world beater because of jhis victories over a. lot of third raters or worse, lends additional color to the general beliefthat the affair is merely intended as a medium to" place and; a .few. of his friends on financial easy street at the expense of the public. Some of Coffroth's. adherents have inquired who was the "tall guy" :n: n the Britt-Nelson postponement. The Cqlma' affair leaves no op portunity for questioning in this regard.
