Through some peculiar twist of fate many Of tho greatest fighters that pugu- ism has known have failed to make an impressive showing upon their first ap- pearanco in New York city.

 Even Jim Jeffries was classed as a
 false alarm when he made his New York ring debut
 Jeff had been my sparring partner for my fight with Bob Fitzsimmons. After losing the championship, dismissed ray trainer and sparring partners and they shifted for themselves. Billy Delaney who had been my trainer. saw in Jeffries the mal1ings of a champion. So he made a deal with Jeff whereby he would ham, dle his interests. Jeffries and Delaney went back to San Francisco and in less than . year and half Jeff had made a gerat reputation along the Pacific coast
 But Jeff had ambitions to display hIs prowess before New York audience. For some months Delaney angled for match. The best he could get was handicap affair. Jeffries had to agree to knock out Steve O'Donnel and Billy Armstrong in less than 10 rounds eacn, in the same ring on the same night.
 O'Donneli was little more than third rater and Armstrong was only so-so fighter Stories that had come from the coast concerning Jeffries had caused the New York fans to believe that he was a man killer" and almost everyone in the big crowd that turned out to see Jef- fries anticipated that he would stop both fighters without much trouble.
 But Jeffries failed in nis effort, and in- mediately the Gothamites pronounced him greatly overrated. But in little more than a year they changed theiI views because Jeffries. in an almost ne teoric fashion, rose to the absolute crest of the pugilistic world.
 The big Californian took on Armstrong as the first foe in the handicap match on August g. 1898, and that is as far as he got Armstrong proved so tough for Jeffries that all that Jim could do was to earn the decision after the scheduled 10 rounds of battling. At the end of that contest Jeffries exhibited damaged thum on his left hand which was used as the expiaation for calling off his match with ODonneM hsi I

SWIFT COMMENTS

Chicago, August S.-(Special. )-Refer-

So far as Swift & Co. is concerned. we are perfectly willing to let the rail road administration decide whether u shall take over our live stock and refrig- erating cars. The principal thing to be considered is whether the present service could be improved. The only reason we | ever built our own refrigerator car& was
 that the railroads did not furnish the equipment The stock cars are already being regulated by the United States de-

 We wish to point out. however. that our company has become interested Tn stock yards only for the purpose of pro. viding proper market facilities that did not otherwlse exist, ard that in such stock yards there are open competitive
