Attell to do his best to defeat him.
The spectacle of two worlds cham
pions engaged in a battle for cham
pionship has never before been pre-
sented and as both boys are at the tor
rung in their divisions and acknowl.
edged as the best little fellows at theil
weight the argument will be worth
witnessing.
McCarey Buys Stamps
Manager McCarey has entered upon
an advertising campaign of no mean
proportions, as is attested by his stamp
bill, which now amounts to $500. This
means that he has sent out and will
send out altogether $4,000 letters ad-
vertising the fact that three of the
greatest ring battles in the history of
the game will be pulled off in Los An
geles in the next thirty days.
Nearly two hundred newspapers
throughout the United States, repre-
senting every section, and going into
the homes of millions of readers, have
been sent complete particulars of all
these battles in an attempt at arous-
ing an interest throughout the coun-
try.
While McCarey is not counting upon
attracting many train loads of sport
ing men from the east further than
those who are coming on business and
pleasure at that time, he is taking a
long shot at adding a few hundred
fight fans to the Fiesta week crowds
by this plan of advertising.
Incidentally, while the advertising Is
calculated to benefit the club and the
battlers directly, it will also bring the
name of the Angel City before the
entire country, and the. enterprise of
the club promoter will rebound to
some benefit, at least, in an indirect
manner.
From now until the last week pre-
ceding the fights the country will be
flooded with letters containing up-to-
date information relating to the battles
and inasmuch as the eastern press is
literally clipping from the Los An
geles newspapers and commenting at
length upon the enterprise of McCarey
in securing these battles in bidding
against Philadelphia and Frisco pro-
moters. it Is assured that the informa-
tion he Is sending out will be used by
the sporting writer's to whom 1t Is sent
Jeffries has given no heed to the
telegraphic offers of huge sums for
his temperance in the ring, but this
is not necessarily an indication that
he proposes to pass them up.
Commenting upon the offers made
him by Philadelphia and Frisco pro-
moters, Jeffries said yesterday that
there anight be some chance of his
fighting again if he received an offer
that was genuine and not intended for
advertising purposes.
Jeff has not lost his desire to battle.
but will not solicit offers to return
to the ring. No offer within reason
would tempt him to leave his ranch
until he has attended to the unfinished
business before him, that of harvest
ing his crops and arranging his affairs
so that he could get into training with
out worrying about business affairs at
home.
In other words, taking Jeffries' ut
and analyzing them, he wants
to fight again and would be tempted
to enter the ring once more If he could
be assured Of a dignified sum and be
against some battler who has
any chance of winning or right to dis
pute his claim upon the championship.
No one realizes any more than Jeff
that there are not enough switch en-
gines in the world to pull Fitzsimmons
Hart, Burns, Rubin or Kaufman in
the ring with him. one at a time or
all in a bunch. hence he refuses to
consider the offers OF O'Rourke and
the fight trust.
The only inducement lacking is some
worthy opponent for him to batter
INTO obscurity and pugilistic oblivion
and that one seems to be away out
IN the future for quite a distance, so
much so that he is at present indis-
,ernible
