SPORT AMONG THE REAsERs
Handball and Cock Fighting Popular
i'm he SDut In west

in the Southwest
Ell Paso, Feb. 2I.-The good o.d Irish
game of handball is a popular pastime
among MeNicans. There are two haBdball
courts in Ell Paso, or, to be more accurate
in Little chihuahua, as the Mexican quar-
ter of this little Texan town is known.
The inhabitants of that section are every
bit as dirty and greasy-looking as their
brothers over the river in Juarez, and they
live in the same make of oue-story fiat
rooted adobe houses, except where they
are too poor to afford such luxuries.
The more poverty stricken of this beg
carly race live in houses made from sticks
plastcred over with mud, in the construc-
ton of which not nail or board is used.
The roof timbers and door posts are the
only things about the structures that could
ever have merited the name of tree, and
few of these are longer than a mans arm.
The roofs are matched with mesquite
brush and plastered over with clay. The
windows and doors are mere openings with
skins to cover them, and the house furnish
ing consists of skins on the floor and a few
pots or kettles. And yet these people seem
perfectly happy. Some few of them in
this city are beginning to pick up civil
lied ideas. Board doors often take the
place of skins, and here and there a VIM
dow sash with glass in may be seen.
The bandball courts are always occupied
when the weather is suitable, which is about
800 days in every year. The courts are
thirty-five yards long and about six yards
wide and L-shaped, the walls being made of
adobe, of course. 1t is about thirty feet
high, and has no roof. There is no back
wall, and but one side wall. Spectators
stand along the open side on level with the
player and SO close as to often interfere
with the play. The ball used is not quite
SO hard as the Nicholas regulation bail,
but is about the same size (sIDaller than
tennis ball) and quite lively.
The players are dressed in their ordi-
nary blue Jean clothes uhey probably
have but one suit and some OF them even
go into the game with the high peaked
hats which most Mexicans wear. They
invariably play for u small stake and arc
quite expert. The service is necessarily
limited in variety, owing to the fact that
1t must always be to tic right, there being
no left side wall, but great skill is shown
In placing the bail where 1t is most
difficult to return.
brOaO, Diack IudlkS, Ouc ydEu updIt, anu
numbered from one to thirty five, divide
the side wall and enable spectators to
tell the distance of long returns and back
ward runs. The Mexicans drive the ball
with terrific force with either hand. They
become very excited In the heat of game,
and give vent to their feelings by shouting
at the tops of their voices. Good plays
are rewarded by cries Of bravo! bravo!r"
from the crowd.
Taken altogether the Mexicans are
pretty good handball players. but one is
forced to admit the truth Of well-known
expert: 1.-The Irish will always be cham
plons at the game" In a regulation court
Phil Casey could beat a room full of greas-
ers.
This is. a great country for cock fighting
and almost every chicken in sight shows

YALE NAVY UNDECIDED.
Considering "A Petition to Enter the
Henley Regatta.

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 21.-President
De Sibour of the Yale Navy this morning
received from the Henley regatta secre-
tary, j. F. Cooper, a communication rela-
tive to Yale's entering the Henley. After
enumerating the various conditions OF the
regatta Secretary Cooper states that the
Yale entry must be mailed before March
10, and that Yale will DO well to enter a
four-oared crew for ,he stewards cup
as well as an eight-oared crew in the con-
test for the grand challenge The Yale
Navy is considering whether TO send four
cared crew or not.
Secretary Cooper also mentions a single
scull race, but President De Sibour states
that Yale will in all probability not send
entries for that event. A prominent mem
ber of the Yale faculty said today that
that body was considering the petition of
the Yale Navy to send crew tW the
Henley, but no decision would be given for
several days. 1t is thought that there is
some slight faculty opposition to the
scheme.

The impression is as potent as fact
