HAPPENINGS IN THE WORLD OF SPORT

twice and Jeffries stepped forth from
the wings. The yelling may have last
ed twenty seconds, certainly not lon
ger, and one could not but compare il
with the veritable ovation which Bob
Fitzsimmons received two years ago
when he had defeated Corbett. Truth
to tell, the sporting world has not
quite come to know this young man
who sprang from comparative obscur-
ity to world wide fame in single
night He has not had time to become
popular idol. Other worlds cham
pions have been prominent bidders for
that position for years, usually before
they won the belt of honor, this young
man came unheralded and the sporting
world is almost inclined to be jealous
of his suddenly acquired fame.
Even in the Disgusting black tights
and red jersey, with a narrow red,
white and blue ribbon about his waist
this, by the way, was the belt he
wore in his Fitzsimmons fght-Jeffries
looked the giant he is. His six feet
and more of stature are balanced by
shoulders like an Atlas and his long
arms seem almost short. so thick they
stand with muscles. Broad of waist
and hip he is, and he stands firm on
legs, strong and thick and sturdy. Jack
Jeffries is no small man; he would be
big among a hundred picked at random,
but he seemed boy beside
his famous brother The two
shook hands and Jack started after
the champion. Jim nimbly evaded him,
ducked his vicious lunges to come up
smiling under his brothers arm. The
latter was intensely in earnest, appar-
emily, and went after Jim .viciously,
but scarcely landed a blow in the four
rounds. so quick was the champion.

say that the two boxed. Jack Jeffries
did all the boxing. The new cham
pion combining himself to showing how
easily he could evade the blows his
brother aimed at him and not more
than once or twice did he even attempt
to strike a blow.
AS a result the crowd went away
from the Theatre somewhat disappoint-
ed They had seen with their own eyes
the man who played with Bob F'itZsim-
mons month ago for ten rounds and
then put him TO sleep as he pleased, but
they were not satisfied. What they
wanted was TO see Jeffries do some
hitting. Had he broken a rope with his
fist, as F'itZ used TO do, or punched his
opponent fifteen times in fifteen diff
ferent places in fifteen jiffies, a la Cor
bett, the crowd would have gone away
content, for then they would have had
something to tell their friends about
and to boast of having seen. But all
they saw was Jeffries dancing about
the floor, ducking his brothers blows
beautifully, but making no effort TO
return them.
Perhaps it was just as well for Bro
Their Jack that the champion confined

SCHOOL ELECTION ADVICE.
State Superintendent CONSTITUTES the
Law On Two Questions.

Two opinions affecting questions that
might arise in the election for district
school trustees and for district tax levies
next Monday, were submitted by State
Superintendent Van Colt yesterday. The
first was to the effect that persons voting
upon the question of allowing compensa-
ton TO trustees must. besides being prop
erty tax payers within the district, also
possess the qualification of electors.
The other query and opinion resulted
from an assumed vacancy in a board of
trustees, occasioned by trustee suDpos-
ed to be leaving to go on a two years
mission after the notice of taxpayers
meeting was posted twenty days prior to
the time of election. In such a case,
wherein the posted notice made no an
nouncement of a probable or definite va
cancy TO occur. the departing trustees
vacancy could not now be filed. because,
according to the law. ''all business trans
acted at such meeting other than specified
in said notice shall be void"

JOINT BUILDING IN LEOPARD v
Why Engineer Kelsey's Carpenter
Shop Was Removed.

Had the million dollar building of the
city and county burned down last Sun
day, no insurance would have been
paid. That is because City Engineer
Kelsey turned one of his rooms on the
top floor into carpenter shop. in
which workmen were permitted to
smoke. An insurance agent happened
along one day last week when the door
was open and saw what was going on
within, and also saw the workmen
smoking. The sequel was that Cap
tain Donnell, local manager of the Pa
cific coast board of underwriters noti-
fled Mayor Clark on Saturday that so
long as this condition existed the in
surance companies could not be held
for any fire damage resulting from this
cause. Yesterday the carpenter shop
was removed. 1t had been used for the
purpose of constructing measuring
weirS for canals.

Road Race to Garfield.
Novel Race This Morning.

The big drag Utah will accommodate
the favored spectators of the match
road race between Wells, the tailor and
John Bembrook this morning at 6
O'Clock. The race has attracted quite
a crowd of enthusiasts outside of the
regular patrons of bicycle racing and
considerable money is being put up on
the result outside of the purse of $50.
Wells will start from Fourth South
and Main street and Bembrook will
leave from Seventh South at the same
time, having a three blocks handicap.
Both men have been training in serious
earnestness and the race will be run
in good time considering that the con-
testants are not youthful racers The
finish will be at Calder's park.
