Hard 49,. $4,000, wl.t Ul.as to his
hand fund of experience with men
IN action. Trained as newspaper
man in the active school of the west
and northwest, Bechdolt has a famil-
iarity with men in the raw which no
other writer possesses He knows
OF the power of blow and the ten
sion of physical effort. He knows the
types OF men who will be at the ring
side-the sport, the near sport, the
fighter He can measure the swift
ness Of action and the mental proc
esses of the actors in the Reno con-
test
And all that he notes he can set
forth in rapid, running style, crowd
ed with picturesque idiom, simple and
yet full of experience and feeling.
In his frequent contributions to the
Saturday Evening Post of Philadel-
phia and other periodicals Bechdolt
has ever written OF men in the throes
OF emotion and of excitement. Lit
erature does not contain more COM
plete, intense tale of prison life than
~9009," the story upon which Bech-
dolt and James Hopper collaborated.
In It the writers expressed to the full
the horrors OF prison life and traced
with psychological accuracy the state
OF mind of the hunted fugitive Bech-
doit's later story, Tom Morton, the
Hard Rock Man" has wider, more
optimistic view OF life. In it the
writer's grasp of the fundamentals OF
life and human nature and sympathy
for struggling man is expressed with
rare skill in simple narrative. All OF
Bechdolt's tales and articles have that
same strong undercurrent of sympa-
thy and understanding. He is a man
who writes without condescension.
Those who through The Call will
follow Bechdolt to the ringside will
sit with him, by his vivid word, in the
zone of the tight He will lucidly
clearly, ably narrate the struggle thai
will go on before him. Bechdolt has
lived in the formative west and knows
the western idea-not as 1t is ex-
pressed in its more developed aspect
IN California, but as il still fingers or
the desert and in the mining camps
He will understand the elemental en-
ergy that impels the two big men il
the ring to strike and bruise one an
other.
And strongly, swiftly, lucidly ht
will write of their struggle for The
Call.
The San Francisco call., 1910-06-27
TO
DESCRIBE GO

If there is any man living who
knows more of the fighting game than
James w. Cofroth, the promoter, he
had better report himself to the CEN
sus enumerator at once and get
counted. There is no answer.
Coffroth sees the game from the in
side looking out He knows fighters
and he knows the prize ring. For
years the foremost fight promoter in
San Francisco and in the world, Cof-
froth has attended every fight of i'm
portance held in this country during
this generation.
Coffroth will be one of those who
will report the Jeffries-J ohfson fight
for The Call No man is better quail
flied to sit in Judgment on a pugil-
istic encounter. Combining rare
experience at the game with a quick
wit and a genuine ability to write, the
account which Coffroth will give of
the contest should be most interest
ing.
No sportsman in the English speak
/ ing world but has heard of Coffroth,
and none in San Francisco but knows
the famous promoter. His experience
with the fighting game has been most
intimate AS a promoter of boxing
contests Coffroth has had to study
the capabilities of fighters and learn
to know them personally and pro
fessionally" That he has done
He knows the art of boxing and he
knows all the tricks of the sport as
only a man can know the game who
has watched it closely and scientif-
ically. He has closely watched the
careers of both Jim Jeffries and Jack
Johnson since the time when they
first donned gloves, and no man can
tell better of their performances than
! Cofroth, nor make d better compari-
son of their conditions and develop
ment. For a promoter of boxing
matches must be man who can tell
if a fighter is at his best, if he is
capable of doing his best before the
public.
When the men enter the ring next
Monday Coffroth will be at the ring
side to report their performance ex-
clusively for the readers of The Call
From his store of experience with
fighters and with fights he can furnish
a keen account of the contest as il
appeals to him, man who knows
both fighting and fighters With ar
easy style, Coffroth will detail the
progress of the contest as the white
champion shows that he has recov-
cred his mettle or as the black man
demonstrates that youth is still the
stuff from which champions are made
| Coffroth it will be remembered by
readers of The Call, reported the Mel
son-Wolgast fight at Richmond Feb
ruary p last, and his account was
among the most interesting review:
of that bloody battle.
The San Francisco call., 1910-06-27

great fighter will write OF great
fight.
Fitzsinmons probably will be the
only man who will write of the fight
who has been in the ring with both
Jefries and Johnson. Other writer's
have seen the men at their training
stunts and in action in the ring. Other
men know the tactics of the two fight
ers, but no other man who will write
of the contest has ever been in the
same ring, exchanging deadly swats
with both the champions as Fitzsim-
mons has.
Fitz ought to know a lot about
Jeffries He met him twice.
On June 9, 1890, when Jeffries was
young 'un, coming along fast, Fitz-
simmons, then 81 years of age and
far past the time when most lighters
retire from the ring. went against
the Californian at Coney island. For
II hard rounds the light veteran and
the heavy youth battled over the
arena. Then Jeff's strength and
weight triumphed and gallant Bob
Fitzsimmons went to his first defeat.
1t was the year before that Fitz had
beaten Jim Corbett at Carson, near
the Reno arena of today, and had
succeeded to the title of champion of
the world. Prior to that time. Fitz-
simmons had lost contest to Tom
Sharkey in San Francisco on the
grounds of foul, but the decision was
disputed
Fitzsimmons met JefrieS later in
this city July 25, 1902. Again weight
and youth counted for Jeff against
the Cornishman.
Fitzsimmons, whose gallantry no
one could gainsay, went up against
jack Johnson when ne was 70 years
OF age. Johnson had the better of
him.
The sporting world does not hold
these defeats against Fitzsimmons.
He stayed by the game as long as
there was hair on his head. but
finally he had to give in. He has
come all the way from Australia to
see his old rivals fight it out among
themselves and to see if Jeff can re-
tain the championship he won from
Fitz years ago.
For Fitzsirnmons to review the
battle on next Monday is like an old
warrior reviewing the campaigns of
younger generals. 1t will be an ex-
| pert opinion.

thority on sporting events, and par
ticularly on matters
Equipped with sure, swift, NOV
ing style of narrative, Slatterys writ
ings are always most readable He
can follow fight and describe it
with an accuracy and vividness few
writers possess.
Slattery was one of the first to
go TO Reno when it was announced
that the contest would be held at
that place. From there his inde-
pendent reports of the development
of the fight situation in Nevada have
kept the sporting public informed
fully on the game. Enjoying the con-
fidence as he does of the promoters
and principals in the contest, Slattery
is always able to get at the news
more quickly than other writer's and
to be first in reporting important de-
velopments. Slattery will write the
story of the fight from technical
view, but his report will be SO clear
and interesting that to have read it
is to know just what happened

TOGIVE VIEWS

After all the contest on July 4 be-
tween Jeffries and Johnson will be
fight, and who better than fighter
can convey the idea of the intensity
OF the struggle, the courage that is
required, the force that will be ex-
erted; and who better than Bob Fitz-
simmons, retired and undefeated
middleweight and former heavy
weight champion OF the world, is bet
ter qualified to record the battle of
Jeffries and johnson? For Fitzsim-
mons met both men in the ring and
knows them as they can only be
known by person who has been in
actual conflict with them.
Robert Fitzsimmons will report the
contest for The Call He is now
bound to San Francisco from Aus

Every possible angle of vision is to

Johnson fight for the championship
of the world at Reno, New, on July
4 for the readers of The Call. The

YOUNG EXPERT
ON CALL STAFF

Among the younger newspapermen
and sporting writer's of the country
none has such wide familiarity with
the fighting game as Joseph Murphy,
assistant sporting editor of The Call,
who will be one of The Calls special
correspondents at Reno prior to and
at the time of the contest next Mon
day.
During the preparations made by
the fighters iii this state before their
banisllment to Nevada Murphy fol-
lowed closely the training of the two
contestants and was at Jeffries' camp
in the Santa Cruz mountains at the
time Governor Gillett decided to act.
No sporting writer is more familiar
with the condition of the two men
than is Murphy, and few can so clear
ly express their observations.
For II years Murphy has followed
pugilism in San Francisco, reporting
contests from the ringside. The first
big fight he attended was that be-
tween Jeffries and Tom Sharkey in
this city May 6, 1898. Since that time
he has been a consistent follower of
the game and few pugilists and sport
ing men have passed through San
Francisco with whom he did not be-
come acquainted. From Reno Muir
ply can be counted on to supply
readers of The Call with live infor-
nation concerning the fighters and
their doings.
The San Francisco call., 1910-06-27
TOMMY BURNS
TO BE AT RING

The man with whom Jack Johnson
fought his most famous battle will
be at the ringside at Reno for The
Call. That man is Tommy Burns,
the French Canadian heavy weight,
who on December 20, 1908, fought
with Jack Johnson at Sydney, N. S.
w. Johnson won the contest, out
weighing and outreaching his white
opponent, but the two men furnished
Sydney with fine day of sport.
Before that time Johnson was not
on top But there he acquired the
title to the heavy weight champion
ship of the world, which he is now
about to defend.
Tommy Burns will have some
bright ideas about Johnson, and none
will watch the contest more sharply
and shrewdly than the Canadian
boxer.
Burns will write those nneditations
for the readers of The Call. There
will be valuable contribution to the
story of the big contest. Burns is
we'll known here and had good
following among the sporting men
before he grew too rich to box and
retired from the ring to live in Aus
tralia. He now is on his way to
San Francisco with Fitzsimmons and
other sporting men of the south seas.
His story of the fight, which will
appear in The Call, should not be
missed.
The San Francisco call., 1910-06-27
TO
SHOW FIGHT

Another San Francisco sporting
authority and artist who has cap
tured New York is Reuben L. Gold
berg, whose cartoons and comments
on the fight situation have been most
amusing of all things drawn or writ
ten on the Jefries-J Johnson affair.
Goldberg is so we'll known in San
Francisco that it seems unnecessary
to tell of his success and his work.
The mere announcement that he is to
continue to contribute articles and
drawings on the subject of the fight
is enough to hold the attention of all
readers. of this paper The whimsical
nature of Goldberg's pictures appeal
not only to the follower of sporting
themes, but to all who have eyes and
sense of humor
The cartoonist is a graduate of the
University of California and trained
at college to become a mining engi-
neer. Had he put his college course
to practical use he might now be
drawing diamonds from the depth of
the Kimberley mines instead of on the
shirt front of affuent sporting men.
But when he left. college with a de-
gree of mining engineer and took a
look at the map, Goldberg decided
that all the mines were too far from
Market street and Broadway. So he
went into the city engineers Office
and drew pictures of street grades
and asphalt pavements, which were
converted into blueprints
But this form of art lacked excite
ment, and Goldberg sought job as
cartoonist on a morning newspaper.
He landed. Later he went on an aft
ernoon paper. Then he found San
Francisco too small for his talent and
started for New York with portfolio
filled with pictures of sporting celeb
rites under his arm. The first news
paper Office he struck grabbed him,
and since that time he has been a
New York institution
But when the center of the sport
ing universe came TO San Francisco
Goldberg came west again and since
his arrival has been daily drawing for
The Call. He is. now in Reno, and
his daily pictures and articles bring
the readers of The Call closer to the
atmosphere and humors of the fight
ing camp than any other medium
could do. Goldberg's drawing of the
fight and his lively comments on the
1 contest must be seen if one would
know the whole story of July 4.
