Big Advertising Bluff
In Offer to JetfrieS
Nobody Took 100000 Proposition Seriously.
Little Enthusiasm About Fitz-O'Brien Bout.
Three Important Matches Off,
BY CHIP.

CHICAGO, 1Pril 21.-It seems. as
forecast in this column last week.
that those magnificent offers and coun-
ter offers made TO Jim Jeffries 10 re-
enter the ring. made by Tom O'Rourke
and Jimmy Coffroth. respectively. were
never seriously intended and probably
seriously considered by either Jeffries
or the sporting public generally. They
were, however. pretty fair advertising
schemes for the pugilistic enterprises
OF the fight promoters mentioned. and,
as such. undoubtedly succeeded.
But. contrary to general expecta-
tiOn. IT has developed that Jeffries has
definitely decided to stick to the simple
life and never again TO don the
spangles. That is what he is reported
10 have told the aforesaid O'Rourke
when asked by the latter II he would
consider n good offer to return to the
ring and take on Jack O'Brien. Jeffries.
according to report replied that he was
out Of the fighting business once and
did not intend to go back to it. And
tlat seems to settle it Lucky Jack
O'Brien.
Still. fighters have been known to
change their minds-same as other
people Take Bob FItzsimmons, for in
stance. Old Bob has retired from the
ring several times. but he is coming
back for another try.
And he IS going TO take on Jack
OBrien again this time before Tom
O'ROurke's club. at Essington, Pa. on
Decoration Day.
Fitz can hardly be blamed however
He and O'Brien have been guaranteed
$4,000 a piece for their trouble and TO
the old I'm, just at present. that looks
: like a good deal of money. in all proba-
| bility.
| Just what the fight will amount to is
/ a rather uncertain quantity. The wise
acres are predicting that the veteran
will collapse quicker than he did when
the pair last met. May be- Bot there
have been some rather strange stories
whispered about as to that former
meeting between Fitz and Jack. which
may or may not be true. Meanwhile.
however. we will not become unduly
worked up as to the outcome of this
latest match.
Young Corbett is another once-great
who has acquired the reappearing habit.
He and Fighting Dick Hyiand will
mix 1t at Salt Lake City next Tuesday.
Young Hyland. who is best remembered
| for the awful fight he put up against
frankie Nell, for fifteen rounds. about a
year ago, is pretty hard customer.
and unless the Denver boy has re-
juvenated considerably. he is likely to
again hit the mat for the count

who easily put him out in the fifth
round, after having the best of the 20

ex-champion showed that he still re-

but apparently lacked the old-tIme
punch. IL is just possible. however.
that Corbett NAV have enough left 10

knowledge OF the finer points Of the

The feeblest attempt at reviving the
pugilistic game In Chicago is stepped on
about as quickly as the ruling powers
can put their fOot-or feet-doWr For
instance an insignificant little barn fight
was framed up for a secluded spot on
the North Side two or three nights ago
Before the proceedings had gotten fairly
under way some thirty-odd coppers
swooped down on the bunch, some of
whom are running yet.

and the church IN its length and

Il is better 20 accept a situation that

To understand the controversy be-
tween the state and church in France,
the following facts may be- recalled.
Until the first OF January. this year
the French state recognized the Catho-
lic church. The Reformed and The Lu-
theran churches. and the Jews but
after that date no official recognition
has been given 70 any religious de-
nomination With state recognition the

yentory Is taken. but there are certain
limitations a. 10 the houses OF bishops
and archbishops that indicate but little
generosity on the part OF the legisla-
tors.
The pope refuses TO approve the pro-
visions OF the law that require the
church members 10 form associations

churches. What he fears is that such /
associations would be at the mercy Of /
