CHAMP
' TO DEFEND TITLE
Jack Brltton says he will be the
lightweight champion of the world within a year. He makes this state-
xetiaQuJe..QaJttfCpj.fact way, and
it is evident mat ne is convinced tnai
he will wear the crown some day. Jack Is in town, buzzing around with his old friends and visiting his folks, lie
has a host cf acquaintances here, and all of them are listening intently to his accounts of ring victories on both coasts. Brltton does not hesitate to tell each One of them to get a bet down on him when he makes his championship fight, and that fight he believes is
not far distant.
"I don't care whom I fight for the
championship when I get my chance,"
says Jack. "It makes no difference to
, me whether it is Willie Ritchie, the
new champion. Ad Wolgast, Packey McFarland or Joe Rivers. I am some fighter now, If I say It myself, and I
think I can beat any one of those I
have named. I deserve the opportuni
ty, too, and I am going to get It.
"In the past year I have whlpjf d
Eddie Murphy,' Leach Cross, Pal Moore
Young Saylor and a bunch of others In fact, everybody I have been asked to meet. My ' record Is such that
Ritchie cannot, rail to recognize my
claim. I boxed Ritchie once and
know I can trim him. It was only a four-round affair on the coast, when I was a bit green. But I learned what Ritchie had then, and I have seen him in action since. I am positive I am his
superior.
"Of course, I want to fight Packey McFarland, and I guess he wants to
fight me. The way I understand it,
Manager Danny Morgan and Emi
Thiry are simply waiting for a time
when the fight will draw the best gate
I expect to meet Packey eome time In
January or February at Madison Square Garden. And when I do Just watch this Brltton boy figrht. Packey was In good trim when I drew with him at Memphis, and I really won that fight, despite the referee's decision.

As a team Chicago's Cubs were ex
celled in fielding by two National
league aggregations, according to the official averages for the season of 1912 promulgated yesterday by Secretary John A. Heydler of the veteran organi

team work on the field with a mark ot
.960 each. New Y'crk's champions stood
seventh in line at the finish and were
exceeded In the number of errors made
only by the tail end Bostonians.

games. Saier was second with .932 for
120 games. Fred Luderus. once a Cub, leads the whole leapue In the total
number of individual chances, having
had 1,540, of which he accepted 1,525.
Egan of Cincinnati would be the best
second baseman In trte National league If fielding averages Indicated a player's
value to a team, but Manager Evers of the Cubs stands well up with a mark of .959, against Egan's .973. Lobert of the Phillies was the best fielding third baseman of those who played in fifty or more games. Heine Zimmerman, who led the league in batting, was last among the regular third basemen in fielding. Hans Wagner topped all shortstops with a fielding mark of .962. Tinker was fourth of the regulars with an average of .043. Williams, the Notre Dame, outfielder, emerged with an ave-

Secrets of Good Advertising
Concentration All Important
An eight-inch advertisement in one newspaper will bring ruuch 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 H. 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.
