LONG TRIP FOR ATHLETES
New zealanders Wants Worlds Cham-
 pions to Visit Them,

Guthbert East. secretary of the New Zealand Amateur Athletic association, is responsible for the statement that his organization is willing to delray the expenses of a team of American athletes to visit the Antipodes next fall. In a letter to James E. Sullivan, secretary of the A. A. U., the New Zea- lander outlines what he wants It is that MT Sullivan organize team of six to be picked from the winners Of the Olymplc games next faN, and it is Aot necessary that they should be all Americans, but it is more than proba- ble that, acting on the suggestions of. MT East, Americans will earn all the places in the team
 Only one sprinter, one quarter and half-mile runner, best distance man, and one hurdle jumper and weight. thrower are wanted. The men select ed will be those who score the most points in these departments at St Louis and if the team is sent it is proposed that they be accompanied by the Aus tralians who are to visit here next fall.
 If all things pan out the invaders should leave here about the middle Of September in order to reach New Zea- land before November 1. The New Zealand A. A. would have complete charge of the visitors and a regular circuit tour of the country would be arranged, the athletes either to com pete against the natives or give exhibi- tions at the different places. From the moment the team leaves here all its expenses will be defrayed by the New Zealand A. A.
 To take team from St Louis would mean an expenditure of about .poUJ per man, going by the way of San Francisco and Honolulu, but to go by way of England it would cost consider ably more. The time occupied by the trip would be about four months.
 Of course there is one drawback, and that is those who may earn the right to the trip may be unable to spare time. All the college athletes who will figure in the Olympiad will be back at college and ordinary ath- letes may be prevented by business find the time, such as Duffey for the sprints, Hillman or Valentine for the quarter and half, Grant for the dis. tance, sam Jones for the jumps and hurdles and Sheldon, Mitchell or Mar tin Sheridan for the weights.
 No American athletes have ever wis ited New Zealand. The late l.. F.. Myers and Harry Fredericks visited Australia in 1887, but went no further Should q team of Americans visit New Zealand they would in all probability set up a new crop of records, for the figures there are nothing compared with those of the United States.

coRBETr BEAT MowATT.

Chicago, April 4--Young Corbett, having recovered entirely from the blows and bruises he received at the hands of Jimmy Britt in San Francis co. stopped long enough in Chicago to administer a drubbing to Tommy Mowatt Saturday night
 The bout tasted only six rounds, that being the scheduled limit, but in that time Corbett uppercut, swung and jabbed with sufficient strength ana accuracy to win decision from the referee
 Corbett was never in trouble, but his opponent was in dire distress more times than one.
 In the fourth round Corbett smash cd Mowatt on the nose, bringing the blood.
 In another round Mewatt was on the floor, and 1t seemed had the bout lasted five rounds more that Corbett would have knocked him out.

coNFlDANTs OF PATIENTS.
Physician Acts as Sort of Medical
 Father Confessor-Hears Many Family Secrets.

That physicians should be accorded ehe confidence of their clients-perhap in a larger measure even than clergymen '--has always been pretty generally rec- ognized, says American Medicine. This confidence is, indeed, freely bestowed in a good many directions, sometimes in fact to an entirely unnecessary extent. The physician is frequently made ac- quainted with internal family matters which have absolutely no bearing upon the case for the treatment of which he had been called in, and which are, there fore, not of a nature to exercise the slightest influence upon such treatment. Tn this way the physician is sometimes drawn into the position of general fam fly father confessor. He will be made the confident of the husband in regard to things which should be kept a secret from the wife; the wife reveals to him things of which the husband is to know or suspect nothing: the daughter pours the little secrets of her heart into his more or less unwilling ear on the under standing that he must not under any cir sumstances diyuige them to her parents; and the young man appeals in the strict est confidence to the doctor with regard to his experience. or. rather, lack of experience. The picture is complete enough without the special mention of the cook and the butler. And as the med. icaI father confessor no more than the clerical one can betray the confidence re- posed in him, he is in the unenviable position of having something to conceal practically from every member of the household with regard to every other member.

Mullane ordered him off the field and they clinched Things were finally quieted and the game went on. The Giants won, 9 to 5, and only for the slippery condition of the grounds it would have been a closer score, as Parrott Esprawled in center while going for an easy fly, letting in two runs.

In reply to the challenge hurled at him by Ine friends of Dave Cronin of Brooklyn, Jesse Eo.ey has the tolloW- ing to say: II nave met but one man of my weight since I have been ill Ine wrestling game, and that one Jack Harvey. I do not care to go outside my weight and meet any man who Wlll outweigh me twenty or thirty pounds. However, If Cronfn or his friends can snow me where there would be any money in. it for me to meet him aE catch weights, why l might be das- posed to talk match with the Brook lyn boy, If he wants to meet q man of his weight, l have man here in Waterbury, who is a local boy, too, and who will Wrestle at about 145 pounds. He is a pupil of mine and has never done much wrestling ill pub lie. If Cronin wants to meet him ill some preliminary for 2 purse he can baye the chance. I will not back him for any money against Cronin, but will let him go against him for the best purse offered for preliminary match. At the present time I am almost matched with Frank Speh of Derby and that may be closed this week. also will be matched against 1T. F. Noon. the champion 130-pound wrest- Ter of the state Of Pennsylvania, and articles will be signed this week for match to take place in Wilkesbarre or Plymouth the latter part of this month.

A LION IN THE PATH.
Honorable Mention.)

My New Years resolutions are very nu-
merous but the one think I will try to keep this
year is to turn new leaf in spelling. For
the last two weeks I have been getting zero, or
fifty. and so on and so forth. But am going
to earn ninety or above every day till the end of
the term, for if do not my chances for promo
tion will be very slim. Arithmetic is easy and
so is grammar. I read the kings English
50 people can understand me. But spelling is
certainly lion in the path: Mother has coaxed
me, my teacher has scoded me, my little sister
has cried because she is ashamed of me, ana
even the neighbors are all beginning to ask mo
with an odd little smile, ''Well, Joe, how is the
spelling?" So you see there is a great and
pressing need of reform in this line of study.
