ve-rsary by the timely use of a snappy left jab, supplemented by a hard right counter at close quarters. Burns finished strong, but did not get going: soon enough to even up Goodman's early lead. Burns is the lad who gained fame by giving Parkey McFarland his first black eye. He failed to black Goodman's eye.

ALBERT PALZER VS. BOMBARDIERWELLS Pan Francisco. Feb. 21. Eddie Graney says he Is to stage Al Palzer and Bombardier Wells In a twenty-round fight on the 4th of July; that the bout will be held In an open-air arena with a seating capacity of 12,000. and that the arena will be within the city limits of San Francisco. Graney has been negotiating for the mill for the past month, and -when questioned admitted that the match was practically on and that he was merely waiting for , the signature of Wells. The Palzer end of it has already been secured.
BALL GAMES
There it is. The first Cub box score of the year. The game was played at Daytona, Fla" and the Daytona team with which the three Cubs Were playing, won a 7 to 6 victory over Ormond mainly through the efTorts of the Cub trio and Bill Hinchman. formerly with
Cleveland and now in the American WANT TWILIGHT
association. The battle was one of a series between the- teams of the neighboring towns. Sheckard, Richie and Archer are spending the winter at Ormond, but the latter club is pretty strong -without big league help, so, to make it a more even thing the three and Hinchman were loaned to Daytona. , Please take another look at that scora extract. .Sheckard 3b. That sounds funny, but it will be noticed that no errors are charged against James. It was Sheckard's triple in the
eighth, followed by Archer's sacrifice fly, that scored the winning run. Archer was in his own position and grabbed oft a double and a single besides his sacrifice. felchie, 2b. That's another queer one. but not a bit queerer than Rlchief 4 tits. One of these was a timely twobagger. Hinchman made only one home run and two doubles. " The three Cubs have cottages near (3rmond. They arise every morning at 5 and go fishing. They return for -breakfast about 8 and -then loaf through the forenoon. In the afternoon they play ball. Bedtime is 8 o'clock. Surely these Cubs won't have ?any trouble about getting in shape.
Xew Sork. Feb. 21. The financial district is doing what it can to check
mate the move to start local baseball
games at 3:30 o'clock Instead of 4. the hour that has prevailed for years. A
list, containing 400 names of members of the stock exchange, was posted to
day on the floor, opposing any change
in time. . - ' There are 1.100 operators in the exchange. , More than half, it is expected
will sign the -petition. Members of the other exchanges are said to support the
movement.
The brokers claim their patronagei will be largely lost by the clubs If the
time is advanced as their business pre
1 vents them starting on the forty-five
I minutes' trip to the grounds until after
the exchanges close at 3 o'clock. '

Chicago gets the Mahmount-Pederson
match. This was decided on yesterday when Emll Klank, acting for the Turk,
and John Moje. the Dane's manager, ac
cepted the terms of the Empire Ath
letic club, which offered a purse of $5,-
000 or a privilege of 50 per cent of the
receipts for the big mat struggle. Tt was also decided to stage the contest
at the Coliseum on the night of March
first. . Ever since the Dane signed articles for a finish match with Champion
Gotch's protege some time ago there
has been a doubt as to where the two grapplers would settje the question of supremacy. Other western cities were active bidders for the attraction, and for a while it seemed as if they might get the plum. After canvassing the situation, however, the managers of the respective wrestlers decided that, while the guarantees offered by other cities were .higher than the local one, the percent
age of the -Chicago offer was likely to return the bigger reward, and so accepted the terms of the local promoters. The match, which on paper promises to be the best event of the winter season, will be to a finish, best two falls out of three, with 75 per cent of the purse to the winner and 25 per cent to the loser. Mahmout's recent form has Impressed the critics as being far superior to any he has previously shown, and there Is every indication that he will enter the ring a favorite when the two meet.

SPORTING BRIEFS.
Both Winners, of Course. . After doing their last work In preparation for tonight's battle at Kenosha, Hugo Kelly and George "Knockout" Brown made the following statements: By lingo Kelly; . I am not going to come back tonight, for the simple reason that I haven't been away. Though I have not had a fight for some time, I never, really have been in retirement. I feel that I am as good as ever and that mean's that I'll beat Brown sure. I figure that I can outbox him, stay away from his swings and win on points. However, don't think' that I have no punch. If there is a knockout. It will be Brown who- is counted out. By George Brown. I am going up against the classiest middleweight in the country for a short bout tonight. The fact that
Kelly Is ai veteran of great skill
doesn't bother me.( I expect he'll outbox me early in the 'fight, but
watch for the flash "Brown wins" any time after the sixth round. I intend to force the fight all the way and I believe that I shall have Hugo
tired out after about fifteen minutes
of battling. After tonight's atrug-
gle is over Chicago fans will know
why I am called "Knockout."

Secrets of Good Advertising
Concentration All Important
An eight-inch advertisement in one newspaper will bring much bigger results than a two-inch advertisement in four newspapers. Don't skip around from one newspaper to another. Success in advertising comes from hammering away at the same crowd. Pick out the newspaper which has the kind of readers you want for customers, and then stick. If you want to make an advertisement hit all you need to do is to talk to the reader of the newspaper as you talk across the counter the counter to a customer. Simply talk. That's all. Be sincere about it. Let your words ring true. The people will listen. They like it. The fact that your advertisement appears continuously in a reputable newspaper stimulates public confidence. Your shop advances step by step in the estimation of thousands of people who may be months in getting around to make their first purchase. Originality may be good, but an advertisement that sells goods, even if copied, is better.

say that the constitution will revolutionize business methods in minor league baseball, as it will make viola
tions of salary limits so expensive that owners cannot afford to take chances. Rules have existed against this abuse heretofore, but the absence of penalties has made it Impossible to enforce
them. "Fines of $500 have been fixed for payments in excess of the salary limit, and each team has already deposited 12.000 as a guarantee that the fines
