Mr. Fisher:
•
After. considerable negotiat:ian,, the following is the result of n' efforts re-
garding the getting of young Stribling here:
Ed Douglas can got him any 2ionCay JuTi: g, any, or all, nonths of January, Feb-
ruary, March and
Ed Douglas, Pa Stribling and iia Stribling were here and looked over the Audi-
torium. They figure that the following is a fair estimate of' the seating ca- ;j
pacity, and the prices that could be charged for the first Stribling bout:
300 Box Seats 0 7.00 each - *5800.00
1500 ming-side Seats 0 5.00 each - 7500.00
2000 :orval Soots n 4.00 " - 8000.00
1500 Genii Adnissions 0 2.00 " -- 3000,00 4
Total -- 100.00
The following is aa estimate by Ed Douglas of the expenses figured on above:
Rent - - - - ..- x;2400.00
Young Stribling - 07 `a of gross - 9000.00
Opponent for young Stribl1ng( ocsibly

Expenses for preliminaries - 750.00 •
Advertising - - -- - 300.00
Transportations - - - 000.00
Incidental expenses - - w 100.00
$158 -50.00
NOTE:
The above amounts for rent, young Stribling, and opponent, are based upon
the idea that a capacity house would be played to. Young Stribling and his
opponent would want 50,E of the gross. Ed Douglas states that if a capacity
house is played to at the above prices, there Wilk be a profit in the match
of about .,,8000.00 over and above ;;2400.00 alloweVfor rent of the Auditorium.'
Ed Douglas says he is open to any proposition you care to make him tha your
think will be fair to him in stag this match. lie says he made *5000.OQ
on the Stribling Match last year - but I am inclined somewhat to doubt it.
Douglas is quite anxious to know what kind of a proposition 70 Wish to make
him. He states that he believes a second Stribling Bout with a stronger op-
ponent could be pub on later in the season, and slightly higher prices coup
be obtained.

Not ?snowing what Mr. Gayness had in mind when he telee aphod me to get the
above information for you, I have riot committee myself to on proposition �-
or anything definite in this matter.
