In the Squared Circle,

Paddy" Carroll, the Chicago fight
promoter, has offered 100000 for the
Jeffries-Corbett championship fight
and will also endeavor to pull off the
Fitzsimmons-O'B rien middle weight
contest. While no place is mentioned
Il Is understood that the battle will
take place in Florida If the terms are
accepted.
Jack Root is the latest boxer to
adopt the stage as a near of securing
pork chops" There is one thing to
Roots credit, however, he does not
talk. Bag punching is his stunt. Root
has been unlucky of late. He has been
matched many times, but something
always turned up to keep him out of
the ring. Root is one of the best light
heavyweights in the business and is a
boxer of excellent habits. Only one
defect mars his record, and that was
at the hands of George Gardner last
summer.
When Benny Yanger faces Hughey
McPadden next Friday night in Detroit
he will be up against n of the clever
est boxers in the business. McPad-
den's long, rangy left arm has earned
him many decisions. He is not a hard
puncher, but he has an almost impen-
etrable defense, and Yanger will have
10 work overtime to beat him. Yanger,
of course. will teal in and slash away.
This is his style of fighting. If he
lands there will be joy in the Hertz
camp. But IL he fails to connect Nc
Padden will probably get the decision.
McPadden will outweigh Yanger at
least half a dozen pounds. and with
this advantage and also height and
reach he should prove an awkward
customer for the "Tipton Slasher."

as doing good work in Albuquerque
three years ago, has signed with the

year he played with the Utica team
in the New York State league.
Jack Powell, who won considerable
popularity here in the tournament OF
1901, will play in the st. Louis team
this year. Mr.. Powell was married last
fall to the sister of Jack O'Connor, the
great catcher. 1t doesn't pay to marry
out of the business, so thinks Jack
Van Haltren, the great center field
er. who played in the tournament of
1901, and who broke his leg in the
early part OF last year, will again play
| with the New York Nationals. Van
is a wonderful sticker and foxy base
runner. He has seen over twenty years
service as a professional ball player,
and has feathered his nest for a rainy
day with the ever needful.
Wallace Walker, a well known base
ball player, who played here three OF
four years ago has gone out of the
active base ball sphere and is now
working in a printing Office at Cripple
Creek. Walker was one of the very
fastest outfelders who ever played il
this city, besides being a good hittel
and very fleet of foot. 1t is understood
that he recently stated that he would
like to return to this city.

| tons in the territory. A meet at Albu-
querque would not only be a big event
for the city, but would give all the
various institutions an opportunity to
enter the contests.
Every college in the territory has
certain records of long standing which
need to be broken and new records
placed upon the territorial register.
The territorial record for the 100 yard
dash is 10:4-5; standing broad jump,
1904; running broad jump, 1903; 200
yard dash, 23:4-5; standing high jump,
4:0S; running high jump, SOL; 12O

discus throw, 53:4.5; $50 yard relay,
900; $50 yard run, 2:9S.
Now here is a chance for the Uni
versity boys to show themselves. They
have the material and with systematic
practice could do some good work.
Las Cruces has already talked
about what they intended to do in base
ball now is the time to see them make
good.
The institutions throughout the ter
ritory are full of good athletic mater
ial and a meet would show their good
qualities in more ways than one. Ev-
cry school has a base ball team or are
organizing a team from their best ma
terial. This would be an excellent
time to open up a series of games be-
tween the various schools.
This matter should receive the con
sideration and cooperation Of every
educational institution throughout the
territory.
The University of New Mexico is
making great preparations for a field
day to be held May 1. Practice days are
Wednesdays and Fridays under Prof.
Robert Blair, of the school Of music.
Considerable attention is being given
to practice and great are the expecta-
tions for that day.

Albuquerque in Position to Have an
Inter.CoIIeqiate Meet.

Since Albuquerque has taken a
prominent stand in base ball circles,
and in fact has scores of enthusiasts
OF almost every known sport it is only
proper in consideration of the existing
conditions that an intercollegiate meet
should take place in Albuquerque
about June first.
Last year Las Cruces was the scene
of the first intercollegiate track meet,
which was grand, and awakened a
most notable interest in various sports
throughout the territory.
Albuquerque is centrally located and
it would greatly facilitate matters in
bringing together the contestants from

According to recent Geographic
dispatches, the Kansas farmers are
fayorably impressed with the college
boys who are journeying out from
their gilt edged, cushion chaired homes
in New York to the shuck beds and
stake and rider fenced wheat fields of
the state where, the poet tells us, roos-
tiers lay eggs.
There have been a great many good
things from Kansas, and the funny pa
per writer's, the cartoonists. and the
liars have waxed fat and then laughed
themselves thin over some of them, so
it is not surprising that the Kansas
farmers can talk themselves into
thinking that the boys who hail from
Harvard and Yale, and the other in.
situations of learning make good farm
hands.
But up here in Iowa, where the
insane asylums are not overcrowded
and where they are not bounded by
the four sides of the state like the big
asylum of Kansas, the sturdy follow
ers of agricultural pursuits read such
articles as the one in question, then

where the good natured Kansas farm
er pumps water on them and wakes
them up. Think of them, say, going
into the big kitchen to partake of the
good old farmer meal of ham and eggs
