The writer had an opportunity last Sunday to witness the 'fish stripping strip-ping ' now being conducted by the state fish and game department near Upper falls, on the Provo river. The efforts of the department here are indeed in-deed to be commended. Deputy War-deu War-deu Joe Smith is iu charge of the work. On an average of seventy fish are caught in the fishway ea-h day Mud stripping is carried on every other day. Last Sunday Warden Smith and Biils Whitney, who as assisting him, stripped about 150,000 eggs for the batchcrv at Springville. The stripping has been going on for soma time and will continue con-tinue indefinitely so that the department depart-ment will soon have many more thousands thou-sands of fish to plant in various waters ; of the state. Warden Smith and his assistant have things so handily arranged ar-ranged at L'pper falls that scarcely one out of a hundred fish is lost through the process; in fact, Sunday's efforts did not kill a fmh. The work of the I department in Provo rivajr will mean I untold benefits to Utah tiabing.

Some of the wise ones pn the coast argue that Owen Moran, England hope in the light weight class, will prove easier picking for Champion Ad Wolgast than did Frnnkie Burns. They have a hunch that Moran is just the kind of a man who will fall an easy victim to Wolgast because he stands up and fights. Tbey figure that any light weight who doea this with the Cadillac voungster will run second. Wolgast should open and close favorite over the Britisher at that. Abe Attcll, judging from the latest reports, will probably never enter the ring again. Friends, who should know of the champion's condition, state that his injured arm has not improved to any appreciable extent and that he will never he the same shiftv Abe again. Attcll himself, though reluctant to ad mit it, evidently understands that ha will have to jro slow if ha wants to recover bis old form. He was slated to box K. O. Brown Thursday, but canceled the bout and. to all appearances, appear-ances, hfl will not enter theNring again until next fall. For the first time in bis career Jim Flynn, the fighting fireman of Pueblo, i will likely rule favorite for an impor- tant battle when he meets Carl Morris in a fifteen-round eonteat in Tulsa, July 4. Flynn, who was born ia Brooklyn, Brook-lyn, N. Y., in 1879, has been a boxer for about ten years. During this time he has fought more than fuO battles. In some, of course, he has beea an even money bet, and in some of his unimportant unimpor-tant battle he has been ruled favorite, but in all of his important fights he has been on the short end of the betting. Yet be ha lost only five battles in his career, two to Bam Langford, one to Al Kaufman, one to .Tak Johnson and one to Tommy Burn. , Promoter Tyrer of Ogden has secured a rich dish for the boxing fans in his bout between Danny Webster and Jimmy Jim-my Reagan, and if these two hoys don't 'provide something for conversation it would be difficult to find a card that could. These two boxers should put up a rattiin good mill. They are evenly matched in that tbey have met many of the same boys and made about equal showings. In addition, they have been trying to get at one another on the coast for the past three year. Coast promoters hare tried to bring them together to-gether without success and a match between be-tween them has alwaya been considered a good card. Keagan shuld be a slight favorite, owing to his popularity at Ogden, Og-den, bnt it is stated tnat there' will be lots of Webster money in sight.
