SLAGLE'S KEEN RET0RT.

When Jimmy Slagle, the Chicago
Cubs great outfelder, played with the
Washington club, i'm the late Cos, there
was a terrific bicycle craze all over the
country. but particularly in Washing
ton. where nearly every man. woman
and child could be seen flying about the
city on bikes.
Almost the entire Washington ball
team took up this fad to a man, but lit
tie Slagle seemingly went daffy over
the sport; in fact, to so great an ex-
tent that his older associates remon-
strated with him over the violence OF
his exertions.
The team that year had put in its
training down at Fort Monroe, and
there it was that Slagle caught the ma
laria, which remained with him as long
as he stayed in the capital city. and
was responsible for reducing the clever
boy a whole lot in weight, although his
excessive indulgence in bicycle riding
no doubt also took a lot of flesh off of
him.
One afternoon out at the grounds.
when Jimmy rode in the gate in a great
state of perspiration, Jack Sheridan,
the umpire. who was standing near the
entrance, said to Slagle:
See here, Jimmy; if you don't stop
that bicycle riding you will eventually
ride to your grave"
We'll" cried Slagle, as he mopped his
face, its a cinch, Jack, that l am not

PREMIUM LISTS
OUT FOR SHOW
Utah Kennel Club Ready to Re-
Ceive Entries for Com
ing Exhibition.

W. 5. Jones. secretary of the second
annual bench show of the Utah Kennel
club, has his premium lists out and is
now ready to take care of any person
who has dogs to enter. The show dates
are April ?, and 4, and the entries
close on March 26, so it is important
that dog owners get busy at once.
Glasses have been made for practical
" every breed of dog known, and the
fact that there are in all 557 different
events in which dogs can be entered
shows that the club has gone the limit
in looking after the interests of different
kinds of dogs.
The announcement is also officially
made that DIR. w. A. Bruette of Chi
cago will judge all breeds. Last year
Judge Mortimer of New York acted in
this capacity and while he gave gem
eral satisfaction, the committee IN
charge Of the show believe they have
still better judge this year,
While the size of the show last year
was surprise TO the public, arrange
ments are being made to conduct the
show on even a larger scale this year.
The success of the show last season
opened the eyes of dog owners residing
all through the west. and it is be-
lieved this year the entry list will be
much larger. Secretary Jones stated
yesterday that already he had received
many applications for premium lists
from Colorado and the coast, and with
the applications were promises that dogs
would be shipped in from these sec
tions for show.
1t is hoped to make the exhibition a
viewpoint show this season, which
means that at least 400 dogs will have
to be on exhibition. Winners in five
point show are entitled to five points
toward a championship, which is the
greatest number of points that can be
awarded at one show.

MATCH IS OFF
Little Hope Of This Pair Meet
ing in LondOn-RoChe
Next Lemon.

London. March There appears to
be but little hope of Tommy Burns. the
worlds champion, and Jack Johnson,
the black heavyweight, coming together
in the ring i'm London. The syndicate
which offered $4,000 to Johnson, win or
lose has given up hope and Burns feels
satisfied that he will have but one more
fight in this country before leaving for
the states. Jack Palmer was an easy
mark, and Burns disposed of him in
hurry. The crowd cried fake and
mob howled for its money back, but no
money was refunded nor was any dam
age done. Burns is now training for
his fight with Jem Roche. the Wexford
GrelandD blacksmith, whom he meets
on March H. Roche was present when
Burns knocked out Palmer and re-
marked that Tommy would have to put
up much harder fight to whip him.
Irishman Is Confident.
The Irishman thinks he is the only
man fit to beat Burns, but he will so
the way of others. Roche is a big,
beefy fellow-one of that sort of fell
lows YOU will never get fit. All depOs-
its for the BuTns-Roche fight have now
been made. Today Tom Clarke of Dub
lin stumped up the remaining $500 for
Roche. and thus the whole of the $1,000
deposit is in the safe custody of the
Sporting Life, who appoints the referee
and timekeeper. Some heavy wagering
has taken place, Burns giving big odds
that he will put out Roche in six rounds.
Tommy's future plans are uncertain.
If a purse is not forthcoming in Paris
he will return to the states in the first
week of April, prepared to fight Jack
Johnson for as much money as can he
