LOCAL TARGETEERS TO
ENTER TELEGRAPH SHOOT
Los Angeles Revolver Club VIII Conn.,
pare Notes with Iowa Cracks
In Novel Gun Con-
test

The Des Moines Revolver and Rife
club has challenged the local club to
shoot telegraph match in the near
future and the Los Angeles Revolver
and Rifle club has accepted. The pro-
posed conditions of the match are ten
men per team, thirty shots at fifty
yards for each man, United States
Revolver association rules to govern.
The scores are to be exchanged by
telegraph and the targets are to follow
along by mail.
This will be the local clubs first ex-
perience against an outside organiza-
tion and the hand gun fiends are much
excited over the prospect, especially as
the Iowa boys are reputed to be shar- $
with the revolver.
A shoot Will be held Sunday, the 18th,
to select the local team, and it is ex-
pected that hot contest will be on,
as there are about twenty men on just
about par in the club and they will
all want to be on the team.
An effort is being made to follow up
the revolver match by rife match
with the same club as the Los Angeles
club has strong rife team and they
are spelling for trouble. An effort was
made to frame UP shoot with the
local militia at the short ranges, the
longer ranges not being available to the
members of the club but the militia
team. knowing their weak point, re-
fused to shoot except at the long
ranges.

TRYING TO GRAB TEDDY
,EASTERLY FROM LOCALS
Eastern Illinois Manager Writes Hen
Berry and Says 6ackstop Is
Under Contract to Play
There

Hen Berry has been picked out as
the target for a contract pest trifle
earlier than usual this season. A mis-
sive from an eastern manager was re-
ceived by the local magnate yesterday
which challenged his right to play
catcher Ted Easterly.
The letter was from c. L. Lee, secre-
tary of the Eastern Illinois league, and
stated that Easterly was under con-
tract to play with Charleston, ILL.,, and.
according to the writer, the club had
been trying for several weeks to ascer-
tain Easterly's address in order to
send his transportation.
When questioned by Berry concern
ing the stated contract Easterly en-
phatically denied that he had made any
deal with Charleston. Easterly said
that the only possible explanation of
the letter was that 1t might be an at
tempted bluff engineered by former
roommate of his named Langdon, who
is manager of the Charleston club and
who endeavored to persuade Easterly
to leave the Angels when he was first
trying out last year.
Berry says that he will fight any at
tempt of the eastern league to take the
catcher away, but does not think the
bluff will be carried farther for lack of
grounds to stand on. Association rules
govern such cases, which impose a fine
of from 500 to $500 upon teams or
leagues attempting to interfere with
the contract of a player on another
team without reason.

AMERICAN MACHINE WELL

Entire Town of Valdez Turns Out to
Greet Steamer Bearing Lead
ers in Big Auto
Race
BY Associated Press.

SEATTLE, Wash. April 1O.-A spe-
cial to the Post Intelligencer from
Valdez, Alaska, says: The American
racing automobile arrived on the
steamer Santa Rosa and was welcomed
at the wharf by the entire population
with a brass band. There will be a
public reception tonight and a banquet
tomorrow.
The automobile will run twenty
miles through keystone canyon, then,
owing to the narrow trail, will be
sledded to Teikhill. From there to
Fairbanks the trail has been broken
with double sleds and the automobile
will easily run under it's own power to
Fairbanks.
Schuster, the driver, is uncertain yet
whether he will be allowed to sled his
machine from Keystone to Teikhill
under the conditions of the race.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 10.-Two
foreign cars in the international auto
race from New York to Paris, the
French machine, Di Dion, and the
Zust, carrying the italian racers, left
San Francisco this morning on the
Pacific coast steamer City of Puebla,
bound for Puget sound ports. From
Seattle the racers will journey to VAL

JEFFRlES TO START OUT
AS RAISER OF BIG BEARS
SELLs-FLoTo SHOW PRESENTS
CHAMP WITH ANIMAL
Wrestling to Be Part of Program on
Burbank Ranch and Jim Will
Tackle the Huge
Animal

According to the press agent, Jim
Jeffrfes was rendered a surprise last
evening by IL. H. Tammen, general
manager of the Sells-Floto circus,
which is at Prayer park under the aus
pices of the Shriners and Otto Floto,
sporting editor of the Denver Post, who
is part owner of the big circus. They
made a present to the invincible jeff
which insures that should he ever en-
ter the ring again he Will be In the
best possible condition.
The gift is the monster black per-
forming bear of the circus named
Jack Monroe" so named because in
his wrestling contests with the female
bear, Mrs. Peter Jackson" he inva-
riably lost. The circus folk explain
that the hear has grown so large that
it was dangerous for any known bear
handler to put him through his PAGES
Before accepting the gift Jeffries went
out to the circus and in private en-
tered the den with the bear and
wrestled with him. Jeffrles had the
strength and threw him three times.
The wild wrestler will be taken to
Jeffries' ranch at Burbank and there
James will have his innings with him
and thus keep in good condition. Bob
Fitzsimmons demonstrated that a
wrestling lion was the dope and the
leaders of physical culture claim that
a workout with a bear is better mus
Gle stimulator and insurer of perfect
wind than lion wrestling. When the
circus season closes in the fall the
Sells-Floto people will loan Jeffries the
female, Mrs. Jackson" The proposed
ultimate object is to establish bear
ranch, and Jeffries' place will be the
location.
This afternoon and tonight Jim JEFF
fries and HIS brother. John Jefrries,

eve of his battle with Jimmy Britt,
Packey Mcfarland, the Chicago light
weight who has been cleaning them

the men are in prime condition and

quired weight in full possession of his
strength. The scales this morning
found both Mcfarland and Britt close
to 1874 pounds and with the drying out
still to come, 1873 will be easy at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
Confidence is rampant in both camps,
especially at the Mcfarland quarters.
Packey thinks he will knock Britt out
in short order and that the fight will
terminate abruptly. and in his favor.
Britt is sure he will be the lucky one
and he and Brother Willus are bet
ting their money that James Edward
will not lower his colors to the visitor.
