PRACTICAL SUGGESTION
FOR ANDREW CARNEGIE

Employees to Use Their Fists = Bill Rapp
Explains Things
BY THOMAS S. RICE.

The only surprising feature about the
injection Of himself into the Jeffries-
Johnson fight proposition by Andrew
Carnegie is that the champion library
builder has not seized the opportunity
long ere this to break into the news
papers by MAXIM a few derogatory re-
marks.
The plea that the boxing game has
hurt San Francisco has been advanced
before, and IS wearisome. Wherein does
it hurt the city? How will the cham
pionship bout degrade the city or make
it less desirable as a place for the in

citizens OF San Francisco need offend

taminated by a fair and manly contest

among the thousands Of foreigners who

A much more sensible and practical
thing for Mr.. Carnegie to do would be
for him to employ boxing Instructors 10

fists instead OF deadly weapons when
they get into a fighting argument The

view, 1t IS better not 20 fight at all. but
