ADVICE TO JEFF.
Now that It is demonstrated that
there is plenty of big money for attrac
tive boxing matches in Frisco there is
n chance that Jcl'riGs and Rubin may
be brought together there by the
Fourth of July, says Macon. Tho biz
camp seems 10 have been dnllylnt
with the tawny juice Of the wine, OF
perhaps | would be more historically
accurate il said the amber colored eX
tract Of malt At all events, DESPITE
his denial that he was hit with a bee
glass thrown by Congressman Butlc
IN Kansas city, he does appear to have
'rolllcked II mp II bit" there Jim Il
not half bad fellow, but young, biz
and strong as he is, If he takes my al
vice he win keep away from booz
hereafter. That way ruin lies. If H.
wants any confirmation Of this state
ment he can get 1t from John l.. Sulli
van. That big fellow was the mos
popular fighter that ever stepped in
ring, and at one time was regarded n
absolutely inyinClble. Had he quit tn
ring after he broke his arm on Pats,
Cardln''s head, as Pat Sheedy and ad
vised him to do, he would have gon
down In history rs the greatest iighte
that ever lived, and all his successor
would have been looked upon m smal
secondraters compared 10 him. lln,
II not been for his untiring devotion l.
John Barcycorn think he would hav
taken this advice, The sequel show
how foolish he was, Jen is ms stron
as an OK, but old King Alcohol is "A
strong as herd OF them.
PRESS AGENT WORK.
BY the way, Jolrles' press agent /
industriously circulating the repor
that he has a ranch IN Southern Cal
fornia, near Bakersfield, and that h
expects 10 find oil on II I'm quantities
which will make him rich beyond tn
dreams of ayarice. There are rumor
that no hopes next season to he mum
bered among the Standard OH mag
mates. II II viii do him any good
hope to see him sitting on Director
Board alongside of Rockefeller, but ''
hae me doots, hae me doots"
Only week or two ago one pres
agent had n notice that Jim Corbet
was about to retire from the vaudevlll
field, and that he would never agai
don glove even for exhibitory pm
poses.
Well, / met Jim the other day, an
when i inquired about this he sale
"Well, Macon, l did think about goin
into the mining business and spcr
some money engaging an expert I
look over the mine for me, but the
it's away out in Colorado, and IL
went into mining l would have TO Q
out there and rough il for couple ,
years In very unpleasant part ,
the country TO live in, so have col
cluded 10 chuck II mp and next week
am going to resume my monologu
appearing a the Orpheum Theater
Brooklyn" He also told me that
