Topeka, Kan, Jan. 1.-THE possi-
bility of Oklahoma abducting her ssS
convicts now at the Kansas peniten-
tiary was presented to Gov. Bailey
yesterday by W. II. Ashby, an attor-
ney Of Beatrice, Neb. Ashby has con-
tracted with the 2Sb convicts to get
them out Of the Kansas prison on the
ground that Oklahoma has no boun-
daries for detention. The Ira N. Ter
rel case, involving this point, will be
argued in the supreme court to-day.
Terrell is an Oklahoma convict and
wants to get out. He will plead his
own case, as he Is afraid Of lawyers.
He was brought over last night and is
in jail here. Ashby, as friend Of
the court" has filed brief in sup
port Of Terrell's position and will
argue the question. Attorney Gen
eral Roberts, Of Oklahoma, and
Judge j S. Wood, of the governors
office, will resist the case. II Terrell
wins, all the Oklahoma convicts will
win. Ashby told Gov. Bailey that a
move was on foot among the Okla
homa authorities to slip up on the
penitentiary with special train and
abduct the whole bunch of Oklahoma
conyicts imprisoned there in case
Terrell wins his case. This will be
done, he says, in order to head off
habeas corpus proceedings by the
cvnucts to secure their freedom. The
governor saIu ne womd- invesugate
the matter.

FOX MAY Be CHOSEN
AS COACH OF PURDUE
William c.. Kaylor, President Ath-
letic Association, Denies the
Collins Story.
INTEREST IN ATHLETICS

VIII G. Kaylor, president of the Purdue
Athletic Association, came to indianapolis
yesterday to spend the holidays with his
parents. Mr.. Kaylor said the outlook for
successful season in basketball. track
athletics and baseball at Purdue is brighter
now than it has been for several months.
The students are giving their encourage
ment TO all branches of athletics and since
Oliver +. Cults was elected athletic director
an increased interest in sports has been
created at the college. Mr.. kaylor said
Purdue would be represented in football
Eext fall and it is hoped to organize
strong eleven from the material that is
now in the school and the men that will
enter next fall.
The report that Jimmy Collins, captain of
the Boston American baseball team, had
been signed to coach the Purdue baseball
candidates was denied by Mr. Kaylor. He
said the Purdue Athletic Association had
not as yet signed a baseball coach and
there was little probability of Collins be-
ing signed. Mr.. Kaylor and Athletic Di-
rector Cults favor William Fox, captain of
the indianapolis team, as a coach and the
Hoosier player has a very good chance
of being chosen.
AT present the Purdue athletes are devot-
ing their attention to basketball and track
athletics, but baseball will soon be taken
up and the football candidates will receive
attention

ON SMOOTH ALLEYS.
New Bowling Record Made Under
Fair Conditions.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Dec. 4.-It has de-
veloped that the bowling score recently
made by Villers MacGregor-an average of
255 1-3 pins in three games-broke the
worlds record.
This has especially caused much inter-
est at Chicago, the residence of the man
with the former record-Peter Peth: aver
age (253 1-3)-and there is a tendency to
dispute the authenticity of the Marquette
that the alleys may have been grooved by
constant use so that a rut has been worn
to the head pin.
However, all conditions surrounding Mas
GregorS performance were such that there
appears to be no reason why his record
should not be accepted by the American
Bowling Congress- The scores-27s, 235 and
253-were made in a match game and on
alleys in use only few months, and which
are ''trued and squared" each week.
The alleys are of the regulation size, alb
soluteiy perfect and not groOved or worn
in the slightest degree. The usual rules as
to foul line were observed and the score
was closely followed by number Of bowl
ers, who are prepared to give affidavits of
the facts, If necessary. to officially estab-
lish the record.
Previous to MacGregors feat about the
highest average made on the local alleys
was in the neighborhood of 200.
MacGregor, who is considered the best
bowler in the peninsula, is a stepson of
the proprietor of the alleys, and is his as
sistant He is almost constantly at the
game. and his skill is unusual Naturally,
he bowls right handed. but his form is
such that in most match games 1t is agreed
that he uses his left hand In order to make
the contest the closer.

BOWLING TRIUMPHS
OVER BOXING GAME

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. A.-Boxing pro-
moters of this city are trying to figure out
why the sport is so poorly patronized when
compared with the attendances Of last
year, but few of them have been able to find
the reason.
Various causes have been attributed for
the falling off and matchmakers are trying
to remedy the trouble by putting on stronger
cards. but with very poor success. There
has been hardly a case of taking this sea-
son, and that cannot be advanced as the
cause.
To those who have watched closely, how
ever, the trouble is laid to bowling, which
is now ENJOYING phenomenal boom.
In the various alleys in Philadelphia one
can see hundreds of young men who for
merly attended boxing shows, but who are
at present devotees of tenpins. They can
get active enjoyment out OF bowling, while
at a boxing show they get only passive
amusement
