Las Vegas today became an aspir
ant for the big fistic battle between
Jack Johnson, the heavyweight cham
pion of the world, and Jimmie Flynn
the Pueblo firemen, which has been
scheduled for July 4, next, when
Charles O'Malley wired to Jack Cur
ley, promoter of the battle, and Of
fered 100000 for the contest. The
wire was for the purpose Of getting
in a bid. O'Malley followed the tele
gram with lengthy letter In which
he set forth the advantages Las We
gas can offer to promoters and prin.
cipals in the championship battle.
O'Malley has interested a number of
capitalists who entertain sporting
proclivities and isVprepared to turn
over one-ha1f of the guarantee at once
and the remainder the day the fight
is pulled off.
O'Malley has consulted lawyers who
have informed him that there is no
law to prevent the staging of the
battle of the giants here. For sew
eral years fistfc encounters have
been prohibited in New Mexico by
federol statutes but since New Mex
leo has become state these are no
longer in effect. It is not thought
likely that the state legislature will
pass an anti-prize fighting law.
With the exception of Las Vegas
there is but one other place mention
ed for the fight, Jarbridge, New. g
small settlement of a few hundred
inhabitants. Las Vegas will be able
to offer much greater inducements
than Jarbridge on account of the fact
that it can better accommodate the
large crowds that will be attracted
here to witness the fight.
II O'Malley is successful in landing
the big ring encounter he says he will
stage the battle either at Gallinas
park or upon the grounds of the Mon
tezuma hotel property. The latter
forms natural amphitheater and II
would not be difficult to construct
there an immense arena. Mr.. O'Mal-
ley says he believes he can make ar
rangements to use the rooms in the
hotel for the entertainment Of the
visiting fight fans. The big building
will accommodate d large crowd ana
the Castaneda, the other hotels and
rooming houses and private citizens
who care to entertain visitors will
be able to take care Of the crowds.
The Plaza hotel property. too. would
likely be opened up for several days.
O'Malley, who has followed the ring
himself to considerable extent dur
ing the palmy days of his youth, de-
c1ares Las Vegas would be an excel
lent place for training grounds for
the big fighters. The delightful eli
mate would allow them much outdoor
training and track work. Should they
care to withdraw from the gaze Of too
many fans as the day OF the battle
draws near they could find many at
tractive and almost inaccessible plac-
es in the mountains where they could
spar, jump the rope and rest while
their trainers and press agents kept
the sporting world informed Of their
doings.

THE SUCCESSFUL WAY.

When was peddlin greens an
'nanas or shoestrings, sox an red
bandanas, that business was to me
like wine; I sold my 'nanas, sox or
shoestrings an never meddled with
other things that were not strictly in
my line. I'd make display of all my
ware an handle it right side up with
care, then spread the news out DER
the land l MIXED no flies, flew no
airships, nor sold green leaves for
potater slips, but left that to some
other men.
There is man lives down close to
me that used to beoway up in G, but
now he hasn't got dime. He was
cashier of a great big bank but was
not satisfied with his rank, would not
do one thing at a time. He started
to buy up all the rugs, then jumped to
chickens and doodle bugs, still that
was not the proper thing. Yesterday
he was flying kite but had another
idea before night, trying to make old
bullfrogs sing.
You know man just across the
street that everybody is glad to meet
He is a successful fellow. When he
was chopping the bankers wood and
found stick that would not split
good he displayed no streak of vel
low, but split that stick if it took all
day. Naught you could do would draw
him away. He'd stick to the job some
how; when the man of the hour was
needed he was called from the wood
and needed. He's the cashier of that
bank now.
And that is the way with every-
thing, Suitability, success will bring
though often the road will be rough.
but in the end the tobacco box will
be plum full, you can bet your sox,
and doggone it, that is enough

NIX ON THE SLANG.

Take it from us, kid, there's no
nourishment in singing this slang
stuff. That's cinch. Slang is all to
the bad. 1t don't get you anywhere.
Forget that Norwegian college pro-
lessor who says the American slang
is the swell talk. He's trying 70 put
one over on us. Either somebody's
been handing him lemon or else he's
trying to con us. Listen! You can't
make a hit with the tony guys unless
you get little style into your lingo.
The trouble with slang is that it puts
your vocabulary on the blink in jiffy.
And then, when you want to have a
touch of high life and throw the Jugs,
you're in bad. See? Do you get us?
Have some class about you and cut it.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Sure things are sometimes uncer-
tain.
Nobody likes the man who thinks
he knows it ALL
The average mans popularity sell
dom outlasts his money.
The more man practices economy
the less popular he will be.
One mans poison is another mans
bread-if the latter is a doctor.
The first time a young man falls in
love he doesn't land on his feet.
When a man does talk sense at
least half the people don't recog-
nize it.
Give us contentment and we care
not who invents perpetual motion
No man ever assumes the pose of
political reformer as long as he is
in office.
A man sometimes sees things from
a different point of view after his wife
makes up her mind.
There ought to be a great deal of
satisfaction in being good, for it cuts
you out of a lot of fun.
When man tells you that his word
| is as good as his bond it doesn't neces-
sarily imply that his bond is any good.
