THE BIG FIGHT
Comment on the Condition of
; : Fitz and Jeff.
Corbett Wants to Fight the Winner in
August. ; : "
AN frRIANCISCJ). Julyii.-A party
who has seen Jeffries work, at Harbin
and at Oakland and who la familiar
with the game thinks that the cham
pjon Is working faster than Bob, but he
to unable to judge ,a to his effectiveness,
s neither Jack Jeffries nor Joe ilCennedy
tamt as Hank Griffin, who has
set the warmest pace for Bob. By what
fee has seen, toe thinks that Jeffries will
set a' hot paoe from the call of time. '
From this t ; is thought that a -swift
a. win tire Bob on account of his age.
It is impossible tor any one, to make It ;
too fast for Bob. for SO rounds, as ha
goes more than that distance now without-
"turning a hair. , .,
, The only thing that can keep Flttslm
nna fnm i tnn nr of the ladder
, Will be a hard rap, put tn at the proper
time. 10 other words, a sclentlno punch
driven by tha proper force. '
1 In discussing his present condition with
Viot a (ti ' tint whan ha met Jeffries
before, xitsaimmons sua;
in just as good condition as I am now,
but Z was doped, for after the third round
' X did not aee Jeffries. I could not tell
v Where he was. .
I "Tee,, yott may look and think t arn"
'offering this as an excuse for my defeat;
at that time, as most fighter Bo when!
they ar Up against it, but th result of
be Kth will tell how near the truth I
am ta maikng this statement"

than a street dodger, and that is about
all. The fighters know this and are dis
gruntled., If there Is a measley crowd In
attendance the fault will be placed at the
r ( thrclub. and the Ban Francisco
Club will not And it an easy matter to
secure another big fight.
"X never saw such bad management be
fore," remarked Clark Bali last night,
nhn la ntsalmmons' secretary. "It looks
Uto me as if the San Franctoco Club bad
tackled something that It was not compe
tent to handle. Did you ever see such
rotten posters as have been put out,
nd did you -ever hear of so little adver
tising in the papersT It is bad. The club
agreed ..to boom .the fight for all It was
worth, but up 4' dale it has not Jkept its
word by any mean. .1 hope to see it do
better next week. Why. it was not long
ago' that people were asking the date of
the, fight and if the men were in training.
Both Jeffries .and Fltssimmons are
working hard and the club ought to do
its share. It won't lose anything If It
spends a little money to advertising."

Does Jim Corbett want to take on Jef

asked seven , months ago for a" match
This Question is suggested by Jin Inter
view with Hany ttorbett, $ -
received a telegram from Jim," said
the brotherof thai ex-champlon. "and he
says that the operation was performed;
but that he is all right now, and that by
no means, were things as serious as the
press dispatches indicated. Jim Is not
coming out to attend the fight, as he In
tended,, but on tha night of the coming
battle, in his behalf, I will challenge the
winner of the contest, and post a forfeit
of flOOO to bind It.
"Jim wants -the fight to come off some
time in the latter part of August, and I
shall ask for a date for that time."

FAIR DEALING
IN BUSINESS
It Is much easier for a firm In any llnr
of business to establish a trad than It is
to establish a reputation for fair deal
ing. To establish a firm fully in ths con
fidence of the people is a- task that can
be accomplished tn only one way. Shifty
methods will never attain the Tesult
Mere promises, big' announcements,
special sales for "today only" will not
avail. Advertising of merchandise at Im
possibly low prices that Is always lust
out when a customer calls for same,
does not tend to strengthen confidence.
Blow anA bluster may attract for a time
but the attraction is transient
Tha vrand secret of calning a name for
fair dealing-is in keeping a strict Wch
that no article, no matter wnai tne vaiue.
larga or small, ever leaves, the. atore ,un
defr misrepresentation to. a ; customer.
People expect something more than' a
inere promise of value done In printer's
In With fancy- borders and attractive
cols. They want promises made good,
and the store that maker its promises
gboa.is the store that stands "first, riot
perhaps in the number of customers,' but
In the esteem of its patrons. "Eighteen
years in our line of business,'.' says Dan
McAllen, of McAllen & McDonald, corner
Third and Morrison, "has taught us some
very worthy lessons In serving the pub
lic. We have learned that it pays a
store with a well defined principle of
handling trade to educate the people to
th&r maji. to let them know the treaty
ment they may expect from you and then J
make it your care, aany ana noun, w
see tnat for no reason are their expec
tations defeated. We have many custo
mers who would not hesitate to send their
youngest child, that could speak plainly,
to bur a bill of goods from us because
they have learned our method of doing
business, and have never had occasion
to mistrust us. We deliver the goods and
they know it..
