in Chicago.
In the dual meet with Iowa last year
Minnesota won every event on the pro-
gram with the exception of the three
weights all Of which We're carried off by
Iowa.
In an Institution which has become
famed for it's big men and its strong
men" the candidates in the weight events
should surely feel it matter Of pride
and duty to train faithfully and do their
best.
Mattson and Lafans in the hammer
throw are men of ability and should make
a strong showing in this event before the
end of the season.
In the discus Knowlton, Lafans and
Thorpe are doing the best work. though
none of them are getting the disc out as
they should
In the shot put Lafans is man Of
great ability and might take first place
at the intercollegiate, But he lacks the
enthusiasm for hard work which alone
can make good man at this event. It Is
to be hoped, however. that Lafans will
be able to do credit to himself and the
university when he meets his old rival,
Cochems, at the dual meet with Wiscon-
sin. - =
At the present writing it appears that
Minnesota should win the meet with Iowa
on the 9th and have a most exciting con-
test with Wisconsin on the 22d. F%

ARE HARD AT WORK
Minneapolis High School Athletes
Preparing for Interscholastic Meet.
BATTLE ROYAL IS EXPECTED
south Side, Central and Mechanic
Arts of St. Paul Have
Good Teams. ID.

1he intercollegiate track and field meet
of the twin cities this year promises to
furnish battle royal among the diff
ferent schools. The central high school
and South Side teams of Minneapolis are
working hard and each has hopes of tax
ing first place. -.
Central will have a strong team, not
because of the ability of any particular
men so much as because, of the large
number of athletes who are expected to
make showing. Central will enter up
to the limit in every event, and with
three or four first places and fair num-
Der of secorhs and thirds, expects to car
ry off the tonors. &

Featherweights Looking for Bouts

JACK KEEFE SEEKS A MEETING
Manager Curran Willing to Pit His
Men Against Any Fighters
Under 100 Pounds H.

Oscar and Eddie Gardner, the game lit
tie featherweights, who are making this
city their home at present, appear to be
in demand among fight promoters. Will
liam Curran, manager for the two pugi-
lists, has already arranged matches with
Eddie Santry for Oscar Gardner and with
Ole Oleson for Eddie, to be decided May
% and 20. respectively.
Last night Curran received telegram
from president John Wallrapp, Of the St.
Louis Stag club, asking for a match be-
tween Jack Keefe and Eddie Gardner for
May or May 20. Curran says he will
accept the offer. He states that he is
willing to match either of the Gardeners
against any man in the world under 13O
pounds, straight Marquis of Queensbury
rules. = :
Curran has been in communication with
Young Corbett's manager for some time in
regard to a match between the feather
weight champion and Eddie Gardner, but
Young Corbett insists on fighting with a
clean break In regard to this Curran
says:
Any man who can fight in that style at all
can whip either Oscar or Eddie, fighting clean
break. But if they will make a match

BASEBALL
HIS WARM WELCOME
Southpaw Sporer Is Kindly Re.
ceived by Watkins Indians.
.HooslERs SCORE TWELVE RUNS
Millers Can Neither Bat, Field, Nor
Run Bases as They
Should. ....

Wumot led out his baby southpaw
against the Watkins Indians yesterday,
and little SDorer was warmly received.
Twelve hits with some very costly errors
gave the Indians twelve runs, which was
glory enough for one day. y
To the credit of the youth let it be said,
however, that many OF the hits were made
after the side should have been retired.
Had some Of his mates played better ball
behind him. Sporer's hit record would have
been fully as pretty as that of Williams.
Moreover the youngster was in the
game all the time, and particularly when
he smashed the bail against the fence
for three bases. A little more batting by
the millers who are supposed to hit, would
prove beneficial. .~
Williams is said TO have very de-
eeptive ball. Ee must have had several
kinds. He tried one on the millers in
the first inning and they made two tai
lies on singles by Morrissey and Phyle, a
pass to Perry Werden and wild throw.
After that Williams tried another style
of delivery and it was a double acrostic
to the millers.
Perry Werden played a lively, interest
ing game, making two neat singles, and
taking twelve chances without a skip.
AS in other cities which the team has
visited, the criticism is on the pitching

of Two to One.

Up to yesterday afternoon the Carleton
baseball team was supposed to be inferior
to the one representing the state univer-

was looked upon as very easy but it is
safe to say that the varsity players and
the student body now have much more
respect for the men from Northfield. s,
The contest on Northrop field yesterday
afternoon was one of the pret tiest and
fastest ever played there, and it is doubt
full if another one so generally creditable
will be seen there this season. @%-.'- -

the former being very resourceful in tight

at fielding and stealing bases, and the
credit for the victory belongs in a con-

put outs in left field, two of the four
stolen bases made by the varsity team,
