Champion Jim Jeffries is going to West
Baden Springs for q short time before
Journeying to his training quarters at
Asbury Park, N. j. He is quoted In an
interview as saying Corbett is the easiest
kind of mark. Jeffries is also alleged to
have declared he has kept faith with the
American people about meeting all COM
ers, and is entitled to rest now I'M
agfne heavyweight pugilist, In the prime
of life, demanding rest.
Jeffries is not the only heavyweight
seeking surcease from prize ring engage
ments at this period. To employ a slang
phrase, "the woods are fulP' of pugi-
lists in the Jeffries class who imagine
they have earned a vacation, and desire
to disappear temporarily from public
view. To hear these OF the prize ring
talk one would imagine they were broken
down, decrepit. silver-haired veterans
who, at the end of a long succession of
wonderful pugilistic achievements, sought
retirement from the busy world. AS a
matter of fact they are young and vig-
orous fellows to whom the tasks that
appall and frighten weaker men should
seem as play Their business is supposed
to enhance their physical condition
instead Of weakening 1t, and ] cannot
imagine why they should always be clam
oring for rest. Surely 1t Is not for
physical reasons that they demand
letup in engagements. &C. e. Davies.

Winners I'm the Racing Matinee mt
Como Yesterday.
The weather conditions were all that
could be asked by the members of the
Capital City Driving club who took part
in the regular weekly race meet at Como.
The ice, however, was not in the best
condition.
The first race, free-for-all trot, half
mile, was captured by Strathmore, owned
by Charles Leibrock, in two straight
heats. The time was lilo and 1:O91s In
the first heat Anthony came In second
and Rosebud third. The second heat gave
places to Rosebud second and Anthony
third.
The sree-for-all pace, run under the
same conditions, was no walkaway.
The field was a good one and the finishes
were exciting The first heat was won
by Queen Lii in 1904, with the field trail
ing In the following order: Bocadian,
Maud B, O'Grady, Hazel Hurd and Mol
ly Foster Bocadian won the second heat
in 1:03h, Maud B second. OGrady third,
Queen Lii fourth and Hazel Hurd fourth.
Queen Lii repeated her performance OF
the first heat and won-the third and final
heat in 1:041h, with Bocadian second and
O'Grady third.
Hazel Hurd, owned by w. G. CARING,
was in bad form, and did not make the
showing that was expected OF her. Mr.
CARING has offered several times to
match his mare against any horse owned
in the Twin Cities, and has even posted
a large forfeit, but up to date has been
unable to find taker. He says he Will
arrange a match race at any time.
Nearly a thousand people witnessed the
races.

HORTON LAW EIGHT. :

Interest in the much heralded fight on
the Horton boxing law, in New York,
seems to lag. There have been no new
developments in the matter of late, and
it Is thought there has been some sort of
compromise by which the opposition
has been pacified. This is all guess, how
ever, and the fight may be resumed with
vigor at any time. For the good of box
ing In New York 1t may prove fortunate
that the match between Corbett and JEFF
fries should go to San Francisco. Were
there anything like another fasco in
New York 1t would certainly result in
such a storm Of indignant protests that
the Horton law would be wiped off the
statute books. The game seems to be at
low ebb in the East at present There is
nothing new in the proposed return
meeting between Mccoy and Choynski,
and 1t beglnsto look as though the men
would not again get together in the
squared circle. Fitzsimmons is keeping
quiet, and nothing has been heard from
Sharkey for many days. Interest will
probably be revived after the engagement
between Corbett and Jeffrles has been
filled Willie Green.

PARsON TALKS FIGHT.
Well Known Patron of Ring Sports
on the Big Battle.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb 3.-The eyes of
the sporting world are now directed to
the Forthcoming Jeffries-Corbett meeting,
which will probably be the next cham
pionship event to attract attention. Keen
interest is being manifested in the scene
Of this encounter.
Probably for the first time In the his
tory of pugilism two continents are out
vieing each other in their efforts to Sc
cure a heavyweight championship battle.
1 observe the press reports credit Man
ager Brady with an offer from the Paris
Hippodrome, which, from European
standpoint must be considered princely.
We are given to understand Brady is Of
fered percentage of the gate receipts,
with a guarantee of 125,000 francs (about
$25, 000) for the big fight
1 have no hesitancy in asserting this Is
the most liberia, offer for pugilistic con-
test ever made on the other side OF the
big pond. In fact, taken in comparison
with the purses of former years, 1t is
fairly phenomenal / have some doubt
about the financial benefit of this proposed
arrangement. The charges for admission
on the other side are much smaller than
in this country, and 1t is questionable
whether the venture would be a paying
one.
Interest In this event will increase as
time advances. / have great faith in the
ability of Corbett to put himself in excel
lent condition for this meeting. Press
reports agree that he is training hard and
faithfully at Lakewood, N. j., and is de-
lighted with the training quarters selected
for him. He has as sparrfag partners
Gus Rubin and Stockings Conrey,
both of whom are almost equal to JEFF
fries in size and strength. These men
should be able to help him to the highest
standard of physical perfection, besides
teaching him few new tricks.
Rumor has it that Joe Choynski is to
join the Corbett camp for the purpose Of
sparring with the Californian. This re-
port, If substantial, would be mani
festation of intelligent Judgment on the
part OF Corhett to engage the services of
man of Choynskis mold. / would like

Smith last Thursday The bid of a Cal
ifornia club was the most attractive and
will likely be the one accepted. The Of
fer is magnificent-a purse Of $4,000 and
so per cent Of the picture privilege. Rep
resentatives of the men at once wired
the San Francisco people that their Of
fer would be taken if they would deposit
a forfeit of $1,000. Sports had hoped that
a New York club would get the big
match, but it looks as though they were
to be disappointed While San Fran
cisco is out Of the way for the faithful
many will take the long trip, and it is
likely that the Californians will not lose
money on their venture. There Is quite
a bit of interest in the match, despite
the fact that Billy Brady is the friend of
both boxers, and there is room to doubt
the sincerity of the event. The probable
ity is that the battle will be fought upon
it's merits, or IL 1t Is not there will be
some one who will see through 1t, and
the parties will make nothing by doing
business in any way save strictly on the

of the morning dancing was impossible
and the unmasking occurred In the midst
of q jolly rout
The rules of the society prevented the
appearance on the dance floor of any per,

were sent to the galleries. Royalty was
present and kings and queens enough to
stock the whole of Europe danced to the

been takef& at the gate. The men met
at catchwc1shts. Friends Of Santry
have claimed for him the featherweight
premiership since his defeat of Ben Jor-
dan, while the friends of McGovern laugh
ed at the idea of his claiming the honor.
And they laughed best, for Santry was
beaten in the fifth round, fairly and con-
clusively.
BOTH WE'RE CONFIDENT.
Both men were confident of victory.
Santry was modest and merely announc-
ed that he would be there at the conclu-
sion of the bout McGovern, on. the
other hand, announced that he expected
to stop Santry before the limit had ex-
pired. From comparison of measure
ments 1t will be seen that Santry pos
sessed advantages over McGovern in
height and reach, He is of simmer build
than McGovern, but is capable Of with
standing punishment, and his friends were
confident of his ability to stave off the
rushes of the Brooklyn cyclone. Here
are the measurements of the two little

The university basketball team defeated
the Iowa team yesterday by a score of 30
to 4. The playing of the local team was
somewhat of a revelation to the students,
who for the first time saw their men lined
up against college team. Olson, as
usual, covered himself with glory, and for
his work in throwing goals from fouls re-
ceived generous applause. Deering also
did some clever work in throwing baskets
from the field, some of the shots he made
beng exceedingly difficult ones. The most
noticeable thing in the playing of the
varsity men was the team work, which
was of the gilt-edge order.
For the Hawkeyes, Griffith, the foot
ball captain, was the particular star. He
succeeded in throwing the only goal from
the field that the visitors secured.
McGregor, of the varsity team, was
unfortunate to break his nose In the Sec
