his career where retrogression sets in.
II Corbett should be knocked out by
Sharkey ne would be useless as a mon
ey maker. He never enjoyed the idol
atrous worship showered upon Sullivan
when that giant was in his prime, yet
when the Boston man met his defeat
his popularity faded away like smoke
AS defeated man Corbett would not
have the drawing power of fifth-rate
actor.
In considering the chances Of the
two men Corbett should be returned a
winner, provided he has not gene back.
If he is as good today as he was when
he faced the mighty Sullivan, or the
crafty Mitchell, he should. according
10 all the ring precepts, vanquish the
former sailor in Uncle Sans navy. All
ring experts claim. as they have for a
century or more. that science is superb
o. to strength Corbett has pounds of
science to Sharkey's ounces, and in
strength the sailor man could lose Cor
bett
So on paper it looks as if Corbett
should do the trick But there are two
potent and unusual factors which must
he considered in this battle. One Is
the won ierful ability Of Sharkey to
stand punishment, and he is physically
fortified 10 stand a blow which would
kill an ordinary man. Corbett may hit
him tweu@v times without PLEASING him,
but he will weaken his own hands, and
perhaps ,;iiye the knuckles up into the
back of the hands.
Sharkey has peculiar neck. 1t is
seventeen inches around and is TRAN
gular in shape, that is, it is very broad
at the back and tapers almost to a
POINT in front It is covered with tiny
muscles, which are as hard as the
amor of warship. Corbett will have
stiff work to get around this neck and
krock Sharkey out by jolting him on
the point of the jaw. Not only does
his neck protect him, but the set Of
his head which is sunk low between
the masses of muscles on the tops Of
his shoulders, makes very small tar
get.
To pound Sharkey in the chest, in
the region Of the heart, would not be

1 frutfti policy. His body muscles
are wonderful comparing favorably
with those Of Sandow. Sharkey's
friends say that man could hit him
on the chest with a sledge hammer
without iolting him. The waist Of the
sailor is not so well developed as the
rest of lis body, but Corbett would
have some difficulty in playing for his
opponents wind. owing to Sharkey's
low stature. Corbet is the taller by
four and three-quarter inches, and
while he has the better reach by two
inches, he could not safely play for
the sailors wind.
Sharkey has been described as a
rough fighter This is not true. The
seeming roughness is simply the result
of his prodigious strength. After a
elinch he pushes his opponent away
from him with terrific force, and is
after him again before he has fully re-
covered from the force or the shove
In mixing 1t up the strength Of his legs
and arms gives him the advantage, but

allow sharksy to come to close quar-
tiers.

two men can lie seen from these meas
urements. Corbett's in inches are as

THE CoRBETT-sHARKEY BAT
TIE TO BE A TEST.
CHANCES OF THE BIG 'UNS
Without Brady as Manager 1t Is
Thought That Corbett VIII Probab-

ing-His Popularit~ in Need of Re
suscitation.

New York, Sept 13.--To the metro
politan sports it really looks as if
there would be a fight between Cor
bett ard Snarkey. There is not the
shadow Of doubt but that Sharkey
wants to fight. If the matter should
end in a fiasco the blame will rest upon
the shoulders Of Corbett, and all the
talking and blufIing in the world win
not clear him Of the charge.
The issue Is clearly and sharply de-
fined and Corbett is too shrewd a man
to attempt any tricks under these con-
ditions. He has already suffered Sc
verely in the opinion of the public, and
his powers as stage attraction
have sadly diminished, he finds it nee
essary to do something to revive popu-
lar interest in himself
There is another reason that makes
the sports believe that Corbett will not
shirk the issue This is the resigna-
nation of Billy Brady as the manager
of the big Californian. Brady was a
shrew manager, but he did more to
est, blish and push along the game of
pugilistic talk than any man in the
business. He was forever quibbling
end raising petty obstacles which were
all right from money making stand
point, but from sporting view they
were all wrong. Brady insisted upon
having the big end of everything, and

LEGEND OF soLoMoN,s RING

solomon was put to II to regain 8
power but he raised such a tirst-e1ass

threw the ring into the sea. and a fish
swallowed it, and a fisherman caught
the fish and found the ring. It was re
stored to solomon. and with II he re-

BY reference to our announce.
ment column the card of S. B. White
as candidate for Assessor of Jeffer-
son county will be found. therein.
Mr.. White is an old, highly esteemed
and well known citizen of this
county and requires no elaborate in
PRODUCTION at our hands. For sew
eral years he has been engaged in
the real estate and abstract bust
ness in this city and is therefore
well known to the voters of this
county.
That he is qualified goes without
saying, for his experience and
knowledge in all matters pertaining
to real estate values will be at once
acknowledged.
Mr.. White is in every way quail
fed for the position to which he as
pires, and should he be nominated
and elected he would make capa-
bic aud competent officer.

tered to him by his opponent, Hon.

oefaey OF Arkansas almost to a man

very correct sentiment also prevails
that fealty is a necessary and abso-
lutely Indispensable qualification in
every man who aspires to their suf-
frage. No man In Arkansas is
bigger than his party; and when one
who feels that he is, and announces
that he will stay with the party
only so long as It's platform declar-
ations meet with his approval, de-
clares his candidacy for Demo-
cratic nomination, he will, we pre-
dict, find but few votes and a very
cold reception from the voters. The
leaders of the Peoples Party all

ton behind them: Good Democrats

A Talk on Advertising.
tBy Charles Austin Bates.)

| tBy GhafleS AUSTIN BateS.l
| talked the other day with a mar
who had failed in the drug business
He said that he didn't believe that
advertising drug store paid, and
that it was so different from other
business that advertising could not
possibly help it.
He said that his store had been an
exceptionally good one, that tho
location was very fair. and that the
stock was above reproaeh, but there
were two stores near by. which had
been there some time before he came.
The people round about were ae-
fiiiaintea with them, and to some,
they were little bit more conve-
niently situated than The new
store.
My friend, the druggist, didn try
advertising. That is the way he
knows it does not pay. lie said:
People do not realize that there is
a difference in drugs-.that the pare
goric they get in enc drug store
is better than thai they get in
another"
Advertising would have saved this
mans business. BY advertising, he
would have introduced himself to
the people and they would have
become acquainted with him and
his store in that way. BY adver-
Using he could tell them that there
We're different grades of paregoric,
and that he kept the best grade,
but he didn't try it, and he knows
positively that advertising doesn't
pay.
Maybe he would have to advertise
for three or six months, or possibly
a year before he would find that he
was gaining actual profits on his ad-
vertising expenditure.
Advertising new business is. to a
certain extent, like advertising in n
dull season. 1t is the after effect
that must be looked at. and not the
returns.
