the fight fans for bowling about the
Find of matches they pay out their

Coffroth has q license TO criticize

one of the most successful promoters
boxing ever had, and is perhaps more
directly responsible for california's
fame as q fistic center than any
other one man. He has staged some
Of the biggest affairs in the game, and

Like the clever business man that
he Is, Coffroth does not take all the
credit for his success. II had an or

how to do It," he said recently in
discussing the fight situation. "and
above everything else we always made
it a point to see that a patron got
the seat he paid for. Always tried to
pay the best money possible and in
return I expected the batters to give
me their best, and am convinced
it is the best system in the ong run"
Coffroth says he cannot find fault
with some of the eastern fans who
have paid out big sums for seats at
shese supposed-to-be high class mills,
only to find when they reached the
arena or auditorium that their seats

HAVE NEW, TRAFFIC PLAN.
Committee In Cincinnati Would Have
Nine Ons-Way Streets.

CINCINNATI. O.-May 1.-THE des-
ignation Of nine streets in the down.
town sections Of this city as one-way
thoroughfares is the outstanding
feature OF a tentative traffic code
which has been submitted to the city
council by special traffic COMMITTEE.
On these nine streets traffic would
proceed either west, east. north, or
south. On none would traffic be per-
mitted in the direction opposite to
that designated for the street.
The adoption Of this recommended
ton would mean the elimination Of
approximately two miles of street car
trackage. Instead of present double
track, single tracks would be utiliz-
ed.
Seven other streets in the congest-
ed district would continue two way
streets.
A special traffic committee bring
ing in the recommendations is COM
posed of city officials. automobile
owners, traction officials and others.
Considerable opposition is being ex-
pressed by. merchants anticipating
that the abandonment Of part of
the street car traffic would cut into
their business.
