Estimate of Loss Incurred
Through Storm Reaches
Big Figures.

Approximately $4,000 worth of rain
was spilled on the Cub park Saturday
night and early yesterday morning,
basing the estimate on the probable at
tendance at the scheduled third game
of the Cubs-Giant series. This ex-
pensive fertilizer effectively prevented
all chance of the contest being played.
and the game was postponed until July
3. when 1t will become part of a double
header.
President Murphy visited the west
side grounds yesterday morning and
about noon telephoned Manager Nc
Graw OF the Giants that a contest was
out of the question. The visitors did

Considering the miserable weather
conditions prevailing on Saturday
which reduced the attendance to ap-
parently less than 1000 spectators. II
Is figured the financial loss to the tive
clubs from the two days of rain was
in the neighborhood of $4,000.

He behaved himself splendidly while
here and l am only sorry that he was
obliged to go out of his class to get
matches. His first match. and defeat
at the hands of Bansman Rice, was his
own fault, as he held Rice too cheap.
Johnny did not seem to strike his form

fighter and his game efforts endeared
him to the sporting public here. We

K|LBANE TRAINS FOR
FIGHT WITH BURNS

New York, May 13.-Johnny Kill
bane, featherweight champion and
champion home man" among fighters,
is a notable dissenter from the theory
held by Packey Mcfarland and other
ring lights that a few good punches are
all that a boxer need master in his
climb up the pugilistic ladder.
Ki1bane is training at Rye Beach for
his New York debut this week with
frankie Burns.
My belief" said the little champion,
lis that a boxer can know too many
kinds of punches OF course / like the
left jab best--it Is the greatest blow
in the world, but l do not neglect any
of the others in perfecting myself in it.
During my training ] devote a certain
amount of my time to improving all
the punches I use--and / use most OF
them-so there will be no emergency
for which I am not prepared I can
not believe that it Is possible for any
fighter to reach the top unless he uses
every kind of punch he can think of.
Kilbane viii receive $500 for box
ing ten rounds with Burns. and he is
determined to give the fans a run foi
their money.

Los Angeles. CAL. May 13.-What

placed the Chicagoan stronger than ev-

punishment administered by White was
more than the game little Kenosha

ers and Kilbane. As result of Whites
achievement there is a popular demand
for another match between Rivers and
White. This match cannot be consider
ed at the present time, owing to the

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 an
other. Success in advertising comes from hammer
ing away at the crowd
Pick out the newspaper which has the kind Of
readers you want for customers, and then stick. II
you want to make advertisement hit all you need
to do is to talk to the reader of the newspaper you
talk the counter the counter to a customer.
Simply talk. That's all. Be sincere about it.
Let your words ring true The people will listen.
They like it.
The fact that your advertisement appears con-
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, even If copied, il better.
