Officials of the Metropolitan Athletic

tickets for the twenty-four round con-
test next Monday night between Eddie
Gardner, Of this city, and Jack McClel-
land, of Pittsburg. The circumstances
surrounding the match are of such a
nature as to lend additional interest to
it. When they last met. McClelland
put Gardner out. Then Oscar whipped
McClelland. McClelland wanted an
other chance at Oscar, and Eddie want
ted another ego" with McClelland. The
result was an agreement that if Nc
Clelland bests Eddie. Oscar will mee-
him two weeks later.
McClelland is a fast fighter, and has
the ability to keep any man guessing.
He is clever, but not very hard
puncher. Eddie fought for his head in
their last bout, but this time will prob
ably go after him lower, and should ac-
ccmplish better results. Eddie is the
harder puncher, and with Oscar behind
him as coach, he should have at least
an even break with the Pittsburg boy.

PRIVATE LETTERS
by American Naval Officers Must Not BE
Given to the Public, Admiral autz eau

tiOnea
WASHINGTON, April 2.-It has been
felt proper to Admonish Admiral kautz
to be more careful in writing such letters
as that published yesterday from C.nein-
natl or in guarding his letters from pub
LEFTY, and a letter of that character was
addressed to him yesterday. Theoretical
ly letter addressed under the c.rcum
stances attending the Kautz letter may be
regarded as strictly private, yet prac-
ticaliy the writer must accept the conse-
quences that would follow the pub.-ca-
ton. In the case of Chief Justice Cham
bers, whose brother made public a letter
criticis;ng the Germans in Samoa, the eff
feet will certainly be injurious to the
chief justice. Though the letter undoubt-
eddy was a private communication, yet the
state department was bound to take no.
tee of the fact that this publication had
done much to injure the usefulness of the
chief justice and to render his retention
in the office after the reconstruction of
the islands government, impossible.
