BURNS WANTS
BIG STAKES
That Guaranteed He Will
Fight Squires In Aus
traIia

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-The
very newest thing in the pugilistic
game is that there is more than q
likelihood of Tommy Burns making q
trip to Australia to fight Bill Squires
on the Antepodeans native heath.
Many people believe with Barney Rey-
nolds that overconfidence on Squires'
part lost him the battle. Reynolds and
Burns met in Jimmy Coffroths office
this afternoon and during the discus
sion Reynolds said to Burns: "You
won squarely, but it might have been
different if Squires had got set"
I'll give him chance" said
Burns. I'll go over to Australia If
the proper inducements are offered.
What do you think we could draw
over there?"
You would do very we'll in Aus
tralia," said Reynolds. 81 mean by that
that you would draw as much there
as you did at Colma. We would have
a much larger crowd, but the prices
we get in our country are smaller, but
l should judge the aggregate would be
about the same as we had here''
Il believe in knowing what 1 am
doing answered Burns. IF your
Australian promoters will give me a
guarantee of $4,000 and pay the ex-
penses for myself and Prof. Lewis, my
trainer, 1 will go over to Australia and
fight Squires, instead of going to Eng
land. as had planned"
Reynolds then wanted to know IL
these were Burns final terms, and
Tommy replied that they were. Rey-
nolds has already cabled to Wren,
Squires hacker in Australia, and IL.
a favorable reply is received, Burns
Will probably go to Australia. He ex-
pressed himself as prepared to go at
short notice, but intimated that he
would like to have the fight brought
off in the spring, which, in Australia.
Is the reverse of the seasons on this
side of the globe. This would bring
the fight early in November, during
the race week for the Melbourne Gun,
which is the biggest turf event in the
Antipodes.

JAP ATHLETE
COMING OVER

Minoru Fulfil, a phenomenty Japa-
nese athlete, who has pole vaulted 70
feet 9h inches, will soon visit Homo
lulu and the United States. After COM
peting in California he will go to Lon
don. Fujii is a student in the JJniyer-
sity of Toxic. His records are youch-
ed for by DR., Tanadakate, professor of
physics in that institution. FuiiPs
press agent describes his feats as fol-
lows:
Fujii first vaulted 1866 meters in the
university games, which is equivalent
to II feet Is inch. This, while remark
able, did not equal the worlds record
held by LIE Roy Samse, the wonderful
NauIter of Indiana university. But In
the university games on November 10,
last, Fulfil not only cleared 3.9 meters
In the pole vault, but ran 100 meters by
electrical timing in 1924 seconds. This
not only surpasses the 9 3-5 made by
Dan Kelly recently, but beats 1t nearly
3-S second. and so narrowly APP
proaches 9 1-5 as to be regarded as
marvellous
Fulfil is only 81, and has not reach
ed his development. He is built on the
long angular plan, with muscles that
are splendidly adapted to sprinting.
The combination of agility which en-
ables him to pole vault as we'll as
sprint is most unusual.

AN Roads 10 Success Lead to the Euening Democrat
From Printers Ink"

4 newsletter was asked by rep resentative of Printers Ink what pa pers sold the largest number of copies in Waterbury and answered., without hesitation, the New York Journal. Confining his answer to the city alone, he said the Democrat. This appears to be the general opin- ion.
 Continuing his investigation this Printers Ink representative says he found q clothing dealer who said his best returns came from the Demo- Crat; a shoe dealer who patroniZes the three papers, but ranks the Dem- ocrat first; a policeman and a post man who said the Democrat was the leading paper. The total of the rep resentativc's gathered opinions shows the three daily papers close together, but with the Democrat leading in the matter of conformity to local politics and popularity.

Same 0ld Story.

The Democrat brings results to the advertisers. and this is fully proved daily. Read what advertisers say.
 A short time ago a man came hur- riedIy into the Democrat office and requested that a rent ad which ap- peared for the first time the evening before be taken out. ''The place is rented and we want to stop the crowd of people from calling on us," he said. Be sure and take it out Don't let it appear again" It is the same story with other advertisers. Recently a man who had lost some thing put his head inside the door. A broad smile covered his counte- nance. That little ad did the busi- ness. gentlemen. and your paper is all right, and from this incident and others that have come to my notice. l am convinced that the Democrat is read by almost every person in Wa terbury."

 "Well, I had an experience last evening that convinces me that ev- erybody reads the Democrat. l put little For Rent 'ad' in the Demo- crat and to see the people crowding in here ona me one would think something was up." "Here" meant Mir Cassidy's office. "I had no idea I would have so many people call to see me about it. did think that in the course of few days half dozen perhaps would call, but there was quite an avalanche of them. l have put For Rent ads in many papers from time to time, but the number of answers to the one I put in the Democrat the evening of the same day it was published surprised me. You must have quite a number of readers" :..3 ]

Passes For Lawyers.

When the new railroad law was
made by the recent legislature there
we're enough lawyers around so that
the law expressly provides for passes
for lawyers, but out In Kansas where
a similar bill is pending II Is proposed
to cut out the passes for lawyers. The
following Is from Topeka paper:
"If passes are to be prohibited the
legislature is wise 10 barring local at
torneys. They compose an army that
enables railroads TO control political
conventions when they see 6t. Attor.
reys naturally run to politics The
best ones In nearly every community
are attorneys for railroads, who have
their pockets full Of passes. IL makes
other citizens tired to pay their fares
aad have these local attorneys fash a
pasteboard. When q railroad has q
case the big attorneys show up and
the assistant attorney takes q seat be
hind him. They never try cases them
selves; that isn't what they get passes
for. II passes are to be denied people
TO insure elimination OF railroad In.
auence, take IL away from the assistant
attorney first. The agitation for 2
cents passenger rate Is not warranted
by population or travel In the state Of
Kansas, but we can cut out these local
attorneys"
