along the streets Cf sydney and the Australian public would forge all about the Reno affair. Give them Jim-Jaok return arrangement and watch the dollars pour into inc box office.
 B. Oldfeld may have figured this all out What do you think
 B. NJ Walker of the Los Angeles Examiner. says
 Publicity is coming Al kaufman's way in big noisy chunks. He is being boomed from A to / and back again, as the simon pure article-the best thing We have to show in the way of a hope There are several other heavyweigh's writing H. 0. T. W. R after their names. but the loud press notices.
 Such sterling judges of boxing and boxers as Jim CorhcJt and Eddie smith. the latter 'he sporting editor of the Chicago Amer ican. have expressed the belief that Kaufman is the logical oppo- nent for Johnson. the one standing the better chance of conquerin@ Jack.
 The best bet of the morning is that neither Corhctt nor Smith were at the Colma ringside on the af'er- noon that Johnson so dCcisivcly whip ped the big blacksmith. Had they witnessed the ridiculous ease win which Johnson handled Al they would have realized that never un'r the negro is in his do'aec will he be in any danger of being defeated by Kaufman.
 From the trend of the Corbett and Smith articles it is easy to see that these clever writers have been studying page 150 of the Andrews record book. the page that tells everything concerning Kaufman from the date of his birth 10 the color of his eyes. AIS fighting record is a stubborn thing 10 figure against. He has had 2 ring en- gagements in all, winning t2 of this total, boxing seven no decision bouts and losing once by knock out.
 These cold figures present Al in grand light. but they amount to row of ciphers when it comes to setting him up as q man 10 beat Johnson. In the CClma comedy the negro ribboned Al's fac" pulpod his body and could have stopped him easily under five rounds mad he so desired. All of this the black man accomplished without taking so much as one serious punch ill re turn.
 We don't begrudge Al the wei
 ,I ..r,-f1i,sIf what's the use of eold-bricking ti'h- CT him or ourselves? There k but one hope for Al should he court another beating al the hands Of the champion He may n pe' for inc short end of the money. and. whats more, he'll get it.

 LONDON, Jan. 2S. Advertising for fighters may strike Americans as odd but it is done frequently here. Below is a sample advertise ment clipped from a London news paper;
 "Wanted Sharp, tricky, heavy weight, rough boxer; one able to give and take a lot of punishment. Apply Jim Johnson. l-il!ie Arms, Fulham."
 CHICAGO, Jan. 2S. Rudolph Unholz the Boer fighter, has just returned from Australia. When asked what he thought of Dave Smith. the Australian who defeated Papke and Jimmy Clabby. unholz said:
 fellow about 9 years old. He is rugged fighter, not overburdened with cleverness. and weighs about ITO pounds. He is another of those heavy middle weights. Papke really was a sick man when he fought Smith and shouldn't have entered the ring Before the fight Billy was attacked by yellow jaundice and the contest was postponed month. Papke hadn't recovered sufficient to be strong enough to put up fight. As for Smiths fight with Clabby. it can be said that he outweighed the Milwaukee boy by 22 pounds, which was far too much for the American to cOncede.
 Smith has good prospects if he can keep around the middleweight notch, for the experience he will gain will improve his fighting abil- ity. But I don't think he ever will put on enough weight to have a chance with Jack JoAnson.'
 TOLEDO, Jan. 26. The Giants have signals of their own, and no team has ever even come near getting on to them" said "Rube" Marquard, Giant pitcher. we tell what's coming off in so many words, too.
 The old style of lifting caps, tugging at belts, standing on one foot, and then the other and grip ping the bat, is obsolete with Us, We use the mute language, which Dummy Taylor taught us when he was with the team.
 Manager McGraw has shortened the sign talk to letters for quick work. When he wants the hitand run played he flashes H-R from the coaching line. l. means delayed steal. and so on. The other teams know what we use, but the Giants are so speedy no other player can catch on.
