Boxing nowadays ought to be conducted on lines that will give the people a chance to look at a good mill between good men and not have any of these preliminary mugs mixed up in the business. The town was getting full of them and it is a good thing they were weeded out Perhaps' in time we may get some good business here. o Championship to Kiely. Thomas F. Kiely of Ireland won the championship of the world from five other noted athletes in the games held at St. Louis under the auspices of the A. A. U. The final score was as follows: Thomas Kiely, 6.086 per cent; Adam B. Gunn of Buffalo, 5,997 per cent; T. Truxton Hare of the University of Pennsylvania, 6,818 per oent; John J. Halloway of the Greater New York Irish Athletic association, 5.273 per cent. Ellery H. Clark of Boston and John Grieb of Philadelphia also started in the events, but Clark was taken sick during the hammer throw and left the competition.

We are told that the Salt Lake base ball team has changed hands; that It has passed to men who will run things better than the old crowd did; that the playing manager will have more to say than he used to; that our team is going to play better ball. All right. We hope this prediction will prove true and accurate. To see the name Salt Lake at the taii end of the list has been very tiresome. To go down to the park and see our boys walloped day after day was also tiresome, and to pick up the papers while they were absent and note that we had been trounced again was wearisome in the extreme. It seems to us that this city can afford a jgood ball team and that when one is secured it ought to be able to win as many games as it loses. The team we had here was a good one; it was made up of a lively lot of fellows; men full of ginger, etc. But there was a hitch somewhere and that hitch was the cause of our being tacked onto the list of clubs, instead of heading it. Now lets play ball and leave the knocking to the other chaps who maintain high priced sporting editors with several weeks experience. So the fight game is off here in Salt Lake for a time. Well, It Is just as well considering the way it has been handled. When a. man competent to manage the game is barred because a corporation has a grudge against him and a lot of grafters and sure thing men are giving privileges and work the public to a finish as did Reilly and ' Flynn, it is time the game was stopped.

Anderson American Golf Champion. the Apawamis Willie Anderson-oN. the national of Y., club Golf Rye, open champion, is also the western title holder, the additional honor being secured July 1 over the course where the western open competition at Grand Rapids, Mich., was in progress Anderson led the field two days. since the start, and returned a winning card with the phenomenally fine score of 304 for 72 holes. Alexander Smith of Nassau, who finished second, only relinquished his title after a game battle, but his final score was 308, four behind Anderson. Through this result the western title remains in the east, where Anderson took it two seasons ago, after winning at Cleveland, while Smith of Nassau retained it last year. Lawrence Auchterlonie of Glenview was third, and while seven strokes behind Smith, the finish was according to form, although Auchterlonie should have been closer up. The prize money will be divided as follows: Anderson, $150; Smith, $100; Auchterlonie, $75; Gardner, $50; R. f McAndrews, $25. The two medals for amateurs were awarded to B. P. McKennie of St. Louis, who took 346 and George F. Clingman, Jr., of Homewood, who had Saturday, July 30th. Each lady visiting park will be presented with an elegant souvenir on this day.
