sion prevails in sporting circles that
Joe Rivers will have his hands full
when he stacks up against clever Jack
White of Chicago next Saturday after
noon in their scheduled twenty-round
fight at Vernon. So general has this
feeling become that a number of local
admirers of the Chicagoan have placed
their money on him. Whites fine ap-
pearance and showing in training
bouts have won him many admirers.
but still 1t is difficult to convince the
average bettor here that the Mexican
can be defeated by White. and he is
held strong favorfte at 10 to 7.
The heavy rain of this morning in
terfered with Whites road work. Sc
the Chicago slugger hiked to the base

miles under the seats, where the go

two city detectives went into his gym
nasum at 500 South State street and
arrested Tommy Gary. lightweight, and
Vincent Ketchel. featherweight, who
were indulging in a friendly training

cided to make his home in Lake coun-
ty and in the future will reside in In
diana Harbor, where he has a large
following. His name Is Bill Currier
and he halls from Newport, VT. where
he has made good in the east in the
graphing game. His first appearance
in this vicinity was two weeks ago
when he defeated Kid Bloomson of
Grasselli in two falls in ten minutes.
Bill now issues a challenge through
the sporting columns of this paper that
he will take on any one of his weight
at $50 pounds. To back this up he
says he has $50 to defend his title. and
any one wanting to talk with Bill can
do so by calling Gibson so.

THIRTY PLANS MODEL
FIGHT SPEAC|AL

Those promoting the Burns-McFar-
land eye-decoraIing contest at Kenosha
Friday night are taking the right
course to keep the boxing game open
near Chicago. Emil Thirty, who was
one of those who helped keep the Chi
cago fans who attended the Mcfarland
Murphy fight at South Bend out all
night, says there is going to be no de-
lay when Packey and the Gothamite
mix. He has promised that the last
fight will be over at II o'clock, which
will make 1t possible for the special
train to get back to Chicago before /
o'clock.
This promise, If kept, will make a
big hit with local fans and will entiee
many who otherwise would not make
the trip. Thirty has even gone furth-
er. He will not permit gambling on
the train, nor will any Intoxicating
drinks be sold on the special, which
will leave the Northwestern depot at
Z o'clock.

rs HURT AGAIN

San Antonio. Tex, March 13.-Beat-
en-, 10 to 9. by San Antonio, the Ath-
letics regulars suffered their first re-
verse of the season. The defeat did not
compare with the accident that hap
pened to McInnis in the sixth inning
The little first baseman turned his right
ankle in sliding into second base and
was carried TO the clubhouse. An ex-
animation of the injury did not show
the extent of the hurt. The ankle ap-
pears badly strained and 1t probably
will be a week before McInnis cal

Emil believes that he win draw a
better element to the fight by barring@a
few of the disorders. which have pre-
vailed on fight trains in the past. His
plans are good ones, and If others will
follow the lead of Packey's manager
the lid may be left eff IL nearby cities
longer this time than in the past.
Both the artistic Mr.. Burns and his
model put in a rather strenuous day
yesterday. Packey stepped FIVE rounds
with Hugo Kelly at local gymnasium
and sailed into the middleweight as II
he meant to stop him. The milling
was good while it lasted, both Packey
and Hugo displaying cleverness in the
extreme. Veteran ring followers who
saw the session stated that Packey at
present is boxing better than at any
other time in his career. Packey also
went two rounds with Johnny Con-
nors.
Burns who has been lodging box
ing, had a couple of short sessions
with AL Goodale and Jack Roberts at
the Monroe baths, where he is work
ing now. Those who saw him work
declared that he looked like a. tough
boxer, but the lack of the Mcfarland
T, skill was noticeable.

Secrets Of Good Advertising
Concentration All Important

An eight-inch advertisement in one newspaper
will bring much bigger results than two-inch ad-
vertisement in four newspapers.
Don't skip around from one newspaper to an
other. Success in advertising comes from hammer
ing away at the same crowd.
Pick out the newspaper which has the kind Of
readers you want for customers, and then stick If
you want to make advertisement hit all you need
to do talk to the reader of the newspaper you
talk across the counter the counter to customer.
Simply talk That's all. Be sincere about it.
Let your words ring true. The people win listen.
They like it.
The fact that your advertisement appears con-
tnnously In reputable newspaper stimulates pub
lie confidence. Your shop advances step by step in
the estimation of thousands of people who may be
months in getting around to make their first pur
chase.
Originality may be good, but advertisement
that sells goods, even if copied, Is better.
