only a small crowd saw the contest. The general opinion was that Packey

ATTELL SUES FOR $20,000 DAMAGES

San Francisco, March 18. Abe Attell today brought suit for $20,000 against James Buckley, manager for "Harlem Tommy" Murphy, for alleged defamation of character. The suit is the outgrowth of charges made by Buckley that Attell had approached him with a proposition to "fake" the recent AttellMurphy fight. Attell, according to Buckley, wanted to enter an agree

Socrots of Good Advertising

j Concentration HI! 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.

EXPECT LARGE

CROWD AT FIGHTS

What promises to be the best-boxing debt, card that has ever been seen in this Manager D. X

neck of the woods will be staged at the Coliseum rink at East Chicago by Manager Joe Simpson tonight, and from the reports of the large Beat sale preparations have been made to take care of a large crowd. So the mill men will have an opportunity of seeing these fast bouts the card has been postponed until this evening and Hammond as well as Gary. Whiting and Indiana Harbor have set aside blocks of seats for their delegations. Chicago fans are also preparing to send out a crowd and the management Is looking for a packed house.

The fighters are said to be in excell

ent shape and when the gong brings them to action tonight the fans are looking for some fast bouts. Much interest is being taken in the outcome of

the Zanders-Singer go, as both men will make their maiden appearance in Lake county tonight and will attempt to make a good showing. So far the odds are running in favor of Zanders, who Is picked to gain the popular decision. The others bouts will be: Jack McKenna vs. McWebber, curtain raiser; Doig vs. Tommy Murphy, second preliminary: Young Christie vs. Kid Krug, semi-wlndup.

Tortorlch says the

building probably will be sold. The West Side is the arena in which most of the big local fights of recent years have been staged. An added blow is the announcement credited to Sheriff Marrero of Jefferson parish, in which the arena is situated, that he will allow no more bouts exceeding ten rounds.
