ST. r.L"L, Minn-, April 5. A terrific left to the solar plexus, followed by a right to the jaw, sent Bobby Ward, St. Fau! lightweight contender, to the floor for tho count after one minute and fifty-two seconds of lighting in the fifth round of his scheduled ten round bout with Rocky Kansas of Buffalo here last night. Kansas, who sprung from the ranks by virtue of a one-round knockout over Ritchie Mitchell a short time ago, was the aggressor throughout, lie carried the tight -to his opponent and had things all li is own way after the second round. Kansas landed many punishing blows in the fourth round and traveled at a fast clip during the fifth, rushing Ward about the ring and landing lefts and rights at will.

Hughey Jennings, .who v ill help Henry Fabian keep the grass short at tho Tolo Grounds this year, passed through here the other day on his way to San Antonio, Texas. Hughey and Sam Crane got into a gobfest concerning physical condition, and Sam lo-st. "You never bad to take off weight ,h,n 3 on -were playing, Pain." piped Hughey. "You were naturally el&1. Take Wilbert Robinson, for instance. That fellow had to train like a heavyweight prize tighter before each season " b.-gan. He had to wear rubber

bandages, heavy sweaters, ana vui. like a dog. "Babo Ruth is on his way to r dog's life. If the big fellow took on twentyfive pounds this Winter he's in for a tough work-out. That fat will begin to get a good lease on him if he don't watch out, and then not even the steam baths- will help him. -Cleveland and New York -should be nose and nose for the lead this year. With Ruth in form it's Jutt like tossing a coin for the winner, "This "ill be a great year for baseball." 1 HAT'S IN A N AME! The mysterious Jimmy Griffin, of San Francisco ,who lost to Bob Roper in two rounds here recently, turns out to be none other than "Revo," a newsboy of Frisco. "Revo." a middleweight, was a good prelim guy on the coast. He knocked a dodo dead here with one punch and then took on the heavyweight Roper. The real Jim Griffin, of San Francisco, the famous referee, will be in New York on a visit. In a few days. LOBBY f O.NVKHSATION. First Bloke Where- is this place?

other relics of earlier civilization, art kept in th museums. The guy that wrot "On the BeneTirs In tho park" was not born here. The mules, the most popular animals excepting, maybe, the man-eating frogs, stand here, too. They sleep standing. They say that's why their legs are so strong. The chances are that the reformers removed the, benches in order to strengthen the local voters. Sitting Bull would have kicked off here in a week.
