Jim Griffin, matchmaker of the Broadway Athletic Club, announced to night that he will make another strong bid for a Langford-Ketchel match to take place in San Francisco on Saturday, July 2. He intimates that his people are willing to guarantee from J25.000 to J30.000 to get the fight, and that the two middlewoights can split the money as it suits them. "We will make our best offer." said Griffin tonight. "It will probably be $30,000 for a 20 or 25-round fight. I have not heard a word from Ketchel, but do not think there will be any trouble with Langford, for one of our represent atives has been talking to Joe Woodman, and If we can't land the fight it will eimply be because Ketchel will absolutely refuse to fight the Boston colored man." Griffin also announces that the 20 round fight between Owen Moran and Tommy McCarthy will take place in San Francisco on April 29. f, 1 ,v i i I !

LOS ANGELES. Cal., March 27. (Spe cial.) James J. Jeffries is suffering the first agonies of having his "copy chopped" and his anguish Is excruciating. Some time ago the ."champ" seized a onA n writing- thfv sad storv of his young life. Its publication began serially last nun day. Jeff had waited for the first in ptallment with the anxiety of a young bud waiting for her first hall. He arose at dawn, grabbed the paper and turned feverishly to the page. One glance was enough. A representative of Jeffs Eastern pub- lishers, who called yesterday, got the full effect of the budding young author's wrath through his wife. "It was not what Jim wrote at all," she cried. "They changed it all. It wasn't what he said at all." Almost every budding ' young writer who has sent manuscripts to their doom will Join in fcoplng that the Eastern editors, are to "get theirs- at 'last. It Is said that Jeff has never hit as bard as he can, but the authors hope that he will let himself loons "for once" when he falls upon the editor who had the audacity to change the story of Jeffs life as it left his own fair hand. i' . i " WkryptokF Preserve Your Sight Olasnea may srtve Rood present vtlon. yet wnut r the reserve power of the eyes In doing mo.
