Part of the success OF the Chicago

The answer from Ketchell concern

July throws Los Angeles into the CEN
ter of the spotlight of things fistic,
and the Angel city will be the Mecca
of glove fans during the fight week
This battle, which will be held some
time in the week of July II, is by far
the best drawing card that could be
staged Ever since the battle between
Ketchel and Papke, when the present
middleweight champion regained his
title, and between Flynn and Lang
ford, when the latter disposed of his
white opponent so easily. the chief
topic of gossip aside from the John
son-Jeffries affair, has been the pro-
posed meeting of the Michigan-big-
chief with the-kick. and the bullet
headed, marvelously clever and hard
hitting negro. AT ten rounds this as
sures one of the fastest ring contests
ever held, and one which probably will
go down in ring annals as among the
fiercest ever staged.
Now is the time for the state press

motors to relapse into an impressive

the matches staged in the Angel city
and finding fault with the methods of
running the game in the southland

fact that Uncle Tom McCarey has put
one over on them in matching Ketchel
and Langford Some months ago a
northern paper announced that Ket-
chel had agreed to fight in San Fran
cisco alone of the coast cities. Behold
the Johnson Ketchel joke, arranged
for the benefit of the dear public by
Jimmy Coffroth, has been replaced in
the estimation of the fans by the lat

farcical event programmed for next
October. pales beside the classy battle
arranged by McCarey for next July.

NEW YORK, April 24.-Alfred
Shrubb of Horsham, England, once
more proved himself to be the greatest
middle distance runner in the business
by defeating Henry st. Ives of France
in their fifteen-mile race at the Ameri-
can league baseball grounds tonight.
At no time was the result In doubt.
When eight miles had been covered
Shrubb had a lead of two laps, and
this seemed to content him, for he ran
the rest of the race at st. Yves SIDE.
During the last two miles of the race
st. Yves made frantic efforts to over
take his rival, but to no avail.
Shrubs time for the race, hour rs
minutes II seconds, was more than
four minutes behind the professional
record and nearly six minutes penind
the amateur mark.
This slow time was due to the fact
that the Frenchman GOULD not make
him do his best during the last half or
the race.

THROOP WINS ANNUAL
MEET FROM PASADENA
Camp of the Institute Team Captures
Both Mile and Haif-Mile Runs.
Risdon Scores Eighteen
Points

Throop institute of Pasadena yester-
day afternoon won the annual track
and field meet from Pasadena high
school by the one-sided score of 70 to
A. Captain Rich, who was counted
on to win the most points for the high
school squad, was practically out of
the meet, owing to an injury sustained
while in practice. He entered in only
one event, showing in the low hurdles.
Risdon, for Throop, made the most
points for his team, capturing first in
the high hurdles, pole vault. the 22O-
yard hurdles and second in the 1C0-
yard dash.
Camp. also for Throop was the star
athlete for his school, winning the mile
event and the 8S0-yard run. Ellis cap
tured first place in the shot put at a
distance of 43 feet inches. Pasadena
high school captured all three places
in the hammer, while aPrker of that
school was awarded first place in high
jump. The relay race was won by
Pasadena high school.

Sam Langford, as has already been
announced in dispatches, will meet Ian
Hague, champion of England, next
month before the National Sporting
club of London, but he will return inn
mediately to America and will come 70
Los Angeles to train for the match
with Ketchel. Stanley, having two
months in which to prepare for this
battle. may engage in another bout
next month, though it is probable that
if he does so it will be a short distance
affair in the east. Though Ketchel
readily accepted the offer for the
match, there is no question that ne
recognized the fact that he is tackllns
the stiffest proposition he yet has en-
countered, and the champion will put
on a long period of preparation.
Coming down to figures, it will be
seen that this match is set at top-notch
prices, for Ketchel alone will receive
$1,000 a round for the ten-round battle,
thus putting in his pocket more than
1888 for every minute he fights against
the colored wonder, or if the bout is
terminated before the end his ratio per
round will be correspondingly larger.
Langford, of course, must also be
reckoned with, and therefore the Maud
junction arena seats will demand fancy
prices when the pair enter the ring.
Burns and the Winner
Though Manager McCarey is not
ready to announce positively that he
has secured Tommy Burns for his first
temperance in the United States fol-
lowing his vaudeville tour of Austria
liam towns, there is little room Tor
doubt that the doughty little eX-cham
pion will place his name on contract
calling for a meeting with the winner
of the Ketchel-Langford match A
match between either of these boys
and Tommy would be as good card
as the present bout, and Tommy, being
known to regard the matter faVoraply,
it is not guesswork to say that such
battle looms up as far more tnan
probability. Burns, altnougn ne
twisted more than $1,000 for his end

promoters, would, it is known. hight

FOR SETTLERS UNDER
 RECLAMATION PROJECTS
Regulations Just Issued by the Interior Department.

The secretary of the interior has just issued the following regulations, which are of importance to settlers on the reclamation service projects:
 l. Reclamation of lands entered subject to the provisions of the rec lamation act-To establish compli- ance with the clause of the reclama- tion act that requires reclamation of at least one-half of the irrigable area of an entry made subject to the pro visions of the act, entrymen will be required to make proof showing that the land has been cleared of sage brush or other incumbrance and lev eled; that sufficient laterals have been constructed to provide for the irriga- tion of the required area; that the land has been put in proper condition and has been watered and cultivated. and that at least one satisfactory crop has been raised thereon.
 2. Reclamation of lands in private ownership.-The express purpose of the reclamation act is to secure the reclamation of arid or semi-arid lands and to render them productive, and section s declares that the right to the use of water acquired under this act shall be appurtenant to the land irri- gated and that beneficial use shall be the basis, the measure and the limit of the right There can be no beneficial use of water for irrigation until it is actually applied to reclamation of the land. The final and only conclusive test of reclamation is production. This does not necessarily mean the matur- ing of a crop, but does mean the secur- ing of actual growth of a crop. The requirement as to reclamation imposed upon lands under homestead entries shall therefore be imposed likewise upon lands in private ownership, namely, that the land owner shall claim at least one-half of the total irrigable area of his land for agricul- tural purposes. and no right to the use of water for such lands shall per manently attach until such reclama- tion has been shown.
 3. Delinquency.-Under section of the reclamation act: "A failure to make any two payments when due shall render the entry subject to can cellation with the forfeiture of all rights under this act, as well as of any moneys already paid thereon % This provision evidently states the
