jeff rhinks Bout Win Be Hard.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb 17.-Champion
Jim Jeffries is of the opinion that the
coming heavyweight battle between
Jack Munroe and Tom Sharkey, which
will be fought in the Second regiment
armory in Philadelphia on Saturday
evening. February 27, will be one of
the most stubbornly contested bouts
between big men eve witnessed in the
Quaker City. In speaking of the bout
to a group of sporting men, Jeffries
said: while a bout between n
and Sharkey will only be for six rounds
I feel certain that both men will fight
harder than if they were boxing a 20
round battle. The act that both men
are anxious for a fight with me is an
other thing which satisfies me the fight
will be a bitterly contested one. Both
are working hard for the fight, and
with the condition which they will be
in, it is safe betting that the bout will
be a hummer lille it lasts"

BASKETBALL AT GLAsoo.
"Terrible swedes" Defeated by Score
of 80 to 10.

Glasco. Kas.. Feb. 1.-THE terrible
Swedes met defeat at Glasco in basket
ball. One of the ~fiercest and fastest
games ever seen in this part of the
state was played at Glasco by the
Bethany Swedes and the invincible
Glasco team. Glasco outclassed them
all points, making goals from any
point in the room by their hard and
fast playing and quick passing of the
ball. The Swede team is made up of
about as good men as can be found.
ant are not men that will allow a vic
tory to pass from their lands easily.
Score: First half, "a to 6; at end of
game. Glasco 80. Swedes 10.

MUST WEAR sHORT'sKIRTS
School Teachers in Iowa Town Hear
from Education Board.

Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 17.-School
teachers in Des Moines must wear
short skirts, according to the action of
the school board, which denounced the
trains worn by some of the instructors.
To display a well shaped ankle beneath
a walking skirt is not looked upon as
inappropriate by he members, hence
the stand.
1t all came about when some of the
teachers petitioned to have the floors
reoiled, as they said the dust from the
unoiled floors caught in their long
skirts and ruined them. The prompt
ultimatum to the instructors was: "Cut
them off" After a careful considera-
ton the board members decided it was
not healthy for the children to have the
dust stirred up by this style of wearing
apparel and they refused to oil the
floors at all. The innovation of the
short skirt has already become notice.

Racing at Frisco.

San Francisco. Feb. 17.-Announce-
ment was made by the new California
Jockey club that racing will be trans
ferred to Oakland next Monday, instead
of the following week, as originally in
tended. The change is due to the fact
that the attendance is better at Oak
land, and to the further reason that
many horses have been coughing at
Ingleside. The six and a half furlongs
handicap today was marked by one of
the closest finishes of the season, Prin-
cess Titania beating Futurita by a nose
after a furious drive through the
stretch. The weather was fine, but the
track was muddy.

Kansas City, Feb. 17.-There is a very
good chance that Nick Kahl, who held
down the third sack for the Kansas
