The arrival of Baldwin practically perfects per-fects all the arrangements which Harry Heagrao has made for the staging- of his all-star athletic carnival. Hyland and Baldwin will furnish the boxing feature fea-ture Of the bill nnd flits will be the first time in months that local fight fans have harl a chance to see two pood men start over the ten-rounds route. The wrestling wrest-ling feature will be furnished by a contest con-test between Jim Downing a light heavyweight, and Mike Yokel.

The only detail yet to be settled Is the selection of the referees for tbe boxing and wrestling feature events Tn bot'i cases Heagren will name the officials unless the contestants a;ree today. ft Is not expected that there will be any-trouble any-trouble In naming the men who will officiate of-ficiate and their names will be announced tomorrow morning. Baldwin is in good condition, and so Is Hyland. The bout Is one which would be an attraction in any big boxing club In the United States and one which Heagren Hea-gren Is lucky to secure for Bolt Iake. A nig outpouring of th local fans la expected. ex-pected. Aside from the ordinary Incentives tn a match of this kmd. Baldwin and Hyland Hy-land will have an old question of superiority su-periority to settle when they meet In the ring tomorrow night Just about two years ago thev clashed In a ten -round battle at Kansas City. It was one of the most furious mllis ever wltne-sseri in the city by the Kaw. and at the end of the ten rounds The men pul.'ed ud so even that the rcfeppe, could do nothing but call It a draw. Ever since then each baa been after the other for a return engagement m each Is confident of victory Effoits have been made by matchmakers all over the country to get the two men in the ring together, but up to tho present tlma all these plans have failed for manv reasons. It seemed as though othnr engagements en-gagements lnterfened or else one or the other would be suffering from aome 6llght Injury aa the result of other bouts Neither was wtlllriK to face the other unless he was In good condition and ready to ahow his best form. Both Men in Good Shape At the present time both men rtgrure to be seen at their best. Hyland has been here for aeveral months and is thoroughly thor-oughly acclimated. He has been Uklnar good care of himself and while some few people were under the Impreaalon that he Is not as fast as he usod to be. they have forsaken thla Idea slnca they have aeen him In action. When he started training; for Monday'a bout he weighed about 148 pounds. He haa taken off almost al-most twelve pouads, and with tbe lose of every ounce he has gained tn speed. Yesterday afternoon he went three roun.ls each with four sparring- partners and pulled up strong at the and of the twelve rounds and waa scarcely breathing breath-ing hard. He Is showing all of his old-tlmo old-tlmo punching ability and at Infljrhttne and roughing with his larger opponents he Is showing the strength which baa alwaye made him a terror to other lightweight light-weight men In his class. Hyland Is the personification of cnnrl-I cnnrl-I deuce. He haa boxed Baldwin once and I haa watched ths Boston boy WOTk In several sev-eral other contents. "I know that Baldwin la made for me." said Hyland last night. "I am confident con-fident that T have aolved bis sty In and that I will beat htm. He haa a wicked right, which he shoots across every time he gets an openlnx and he Ih also fast anr) clever. 1 do not underrate his ability, abil-ity, but I am sure tbat I can beat him. t was never In better condition in my life, f have been testing up Since coming com-ing to Salt Lake and needed th- red after a lonjj. hard campaign In the east This rest has done me a world of good. If Baldwin should happen to beat me I will have no excuses to offer, but I do not even figure on a chance of losing. "-j Baldwtn is equally confident He has alwavs shown a lot of real class in all his contests and every boxing fan In the country knows thai Matty Is always trying try-ing every minute that he Is In the ring. "The two bouts which I had In Salt Iake with Johnny McCarthy and Johnny Prayne 'lid not make me extend mself to my t I most, hut T know that Hyland will make me go my best to win." said Baldwin last night. "Hyland gave me a hard fight when we met for ten rounds In Kansas City and I have not fortcotten bis ability aa an Inflghter. Kverv time he lands the punch hurts. I am going to keep tight after him Monday night and meet him at his own stvle. I have learned a lot about Infighting since our last meeting aud will see if he can got Into me as he did before. I know that it Is going to be a hard tight, but I rjt out to win and will win." Interest in Wrestling There Is a lot of interest in the wrestling wrest-ling match between Mike Yoke) and Jim Downing. In which the latter agrees to throw Yoke) twice )n one hour with only the strangle bold barred Downing weighs about 1S5 pounds and is an expert ex-pert In the wrestling game Many fans believe that he Ms a ringer. Mike has been training for the bout, aa he knows that Downing Is going to give Mm a hard contest Downing, too haa been pei ting Into threat condition for the encounter. en-counter. He Is determined to make a showing apalnsl Yoke which will eecure other matches here for him. Heagren has le,'; nothing undone to provide tor t'1e comfort aa well as the entertainment of the fans.
