You read some days ago where Jin
 Jcffries had been signed for s75,o0f 10 teach Luis Firpo how 10 use his 1 left hand.
 1 Later the story was denied. It wa. all news 10 Firpo. Not out of m, money will Senor Jeffries get s75,000,' exclaimed the eXtremerely frugal Mir Firpo. Jefries expressed n willing. ness to accept the assignment at the terms quoted but confessed no ono had consulted him.
 The insiders were not surprised that the idea had failed 10 materiali2e. Then Sensed in the beginning that it was the bunk All major flstie nt- fractions must porforce be subjected to Il certain smoking up" process. And the best way to "smokc-up" q return Dempsey l'irpo light Is to em- rhasize the strengthening Of inc sunor's lcit.
 Corbett smoked It Ip
 f'irpo'S right speaks for itself His left. though. k as useless as sponge ina sun bath. If he is to perform with greater credit against Dempsey when they meet again he must de- velop at least elementary skin with his left Whether Jcifries. as toach- CT would do him any good is qucs- ton. Jclf's presence in the training camp. however. would stir the fans imagination.
 Jim Corbttt was the instrument through which interest was smoked up" 10 fever heat in Jenries' fight against Jack Johnson. Tex Riekard. the promoter. had Corbett come ont to Reno to teach Jcffries foot work. and speed him mp. Corbctt was all in himself at the time and tho boiler maker. awkward as be was. easily outstepped him. However the mere fact that Cofbett was in the old champions camp was an added touch and heightened the excitement.
 IT F1rpo had Jenrics' loft hand he would be an odds-on favoritc to beat Dempsey next summer No heavy weight ever had a better left hand than the Californian. If wasn't nat urally his own. either Tommy Ryan. the great little middle weight, taught him how to shoot the left to the body and inc head.
 Ryan Won For Jcfi
 Through I,yan's teachings Jcff ac- quired the skill with which he knock ad out Bib Fitzsimmons and won the title. Jeff hit Fitz on the jaw with s left in the second round and knock ad him fat. l'itz managed 10 get bark ou his feet but was all at Foa and Jcf finally brought him down for keeps in inc eleventh
 This suggests that Ryan would mak' a better teacher for Firp0 than fhc 1ociie. uninspired Jchffes-a better no doubt but not more ,tvid theatrical poster.
 And it so happens that the thratfi- rai posters are what ihr promoters want.

ACCUSES LAFOLLETTE
Tennessee Railroad Man Says He and Friends Are Trying to Bankrupt the American Railroads.

Atlantic City, N. J., June l4.- Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin and his associates in congress are cndeavoring not only to bankrupt the railroads of this country, in line with the Russian soviet regime, have as their objective the standardization or all forms of private property" This warning is contained in an open let ter to the convention of the American Railway association from w. E. Cole. president of the Nashville. Chatta- nooga and St. Louis railway. It crit icises efforts on the part of national legislators, Apparently aimed at the utter destruction of the railroads"
 Senator La Toilette is accused of attempting by legislation 10 pass the railroads of the country through the La Toilette wringer squeezing out all necessary profits and forcing the railways into government ownership, with all of it's deadening. paralyzing effect accompanied by the inevitable political intrigue.
 "The railroads. hoHeVer." declare MT. Cole, "are merely the front line trenches. since these people are really aiming at public ownership Of all private property" a purpose which, if successful would bG tantamount to the overthrow of all present prin- cfplcs of American government.
 "Conceding that private ownerphip and operation of the railroads is de- sirable." declares Mir. Cole. and upon this point the American people have spoken in no uncertain terms, the only ground for difference which may exist is the extent which goNern- mental regulation should proceed"
