views taken on the occasion when he
was compelled TO mount table draped
with the flag In order to get above a
crowd that he was addressing, the mat
ter is of no Importance, and the attempt
to arouse prejudice against Mr.. Gompers
by their circulation is discreditable to
those who indulge in it. Large questions
concerning Mr.. Gompers's aims and con-
duct are at issue Silly abuse and petty
misconstruction Of him will not promote

criticised Mr.. Gomperss course in the

inculcate respect for the flag. But II
sees no reason for fuss about the table

pened while speaking from table top

Olympic team arrived yesterday with
all members In their best condition.
Coach Mike Murphy started the pro-
gram of the day leading the boys for
a stroll in a local race track where.

were able to get limbered up.
The sprinters were in fine fettle.
Craig and Drew leading neck and neck
in a dash of about 100 meters. but the
Marathon men were found to be in
need of hard work.
The sprinters are doing well and are
all getting away from the mark in
fast style, as that was one of the
things which was insisted upon while
on shipboard.
Mel Shepard and the rest of the dis
tafice runners went at a good clip and
will do splendid from now on. they
are in the best of shape and only need
more speed.
Conditions today were not the best
for work. as the track Is slow and
rain interfered with the work, but ev-
erybody enjoyed it and all are enthus-
siastic over prospects of a cleanup.
Weight throwers had a good practice
and look good enough to win all the
points in their events. A large crowd

Carpenter. the middleweight cham
pion of France and England, and
Frank Klaus. the Pittsburg middle
weight. met IN a twenty-round match
here yesterday. Carpenter was dis
qualified in the nineteenth round.
Both men used rough tactics, and
Klaus worked his elbows into the
Frenchman's face and body In the
clinches. In the nineteenth Carpen-
tiers manager, believing that Klaus
had struck the Frenchman a foul
blow on the chin with his elbow
jumped into the ring and threw UP
the sponge
Carpenter protested that he was
able and willing to finish. but owing
to the interference of his manager the
referee disqualified Carpenter.

the Reds. Therefore they were the
victors by a count of / to o.

were In tiptop form. Ed gave the
risky Reds only three hits, but one
of them was most timely, coming IN
the same round with base on balls
to drive home the one tally of the
game.
In the eighth round Ed gave his
place at bat to a pinch hitter with
the hope a rally might be started. but
none resulted. Jimmy Lavender then
went to the mound for one inning and
allowed the Reds one more hit.
The Cubs made total of six hits

inning, but failure to produce a sacri-

Elk Feather Champ in Last
Training for Debut in
New Division.

San Francisco. June 25.-Abe Attell
expects to-weigh close to 100 pounds
when he steps into the ring with
Harlem Tommy" Murphy on July 4.
Today the former featherweight cham
pion jumped on the scales in the pres
ence of a number of newspaper men,
and the beam, which was set for 133
pounds, balanced perfectly.
II will probably take off little
weight between now and fight time,
said he, but it will only be three or
four pounds at the most. This means
that / will only be four or five pounds
lighter than Murphy

shape He has been training faith
fully since his arrival from Billy No

reverse the former verdict, when Muir

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 newspaper to
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. IT
you want to make advertisement hit all you need
to do is talk to the reader Of the newspaper you
talk across the counter the counter to a customer.
Simply talk. That's all. Be sincere about it.
Let your words ring true The people viii listen.
They like it.
The fact that your advertisement appears
tinuously 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 an advertisement
that sells goods, If copied, is better.
