The Agricultural college team was much the stronger aggregation, and the visiting team would not have scored but for a bad fumble by Logan on the first play.

The thing would be. a great benefit to the city, not alone to those who love the racing game, because it would bring money and people here, and the advantages would be generally divided among nearly all classes. submission to the candidates for city offices, embodying among others a question as to whether, if elected, the candidates would be willing to frame an ordinance against Sunday baseball and Sunday football. The baseball season is over and Sunday football is unheard of in this neighborhood, so the question is of no immediate moment to sport promoters at this time, although if such an ordinance is enacted it will make itself felt when the baseball season opens again. It Is reasonable to suppose that if such a law is made and enforced in the city the county authorities will take similar action. It will kill professional baseball in Utah, as the Sunday patronage is relied upon as the main support of the clubs. These reform spasms seem to be delicate things to touch and it is doubtful if any of the men. Interested in having Sunday baseball continued will have the nerve to take steps in the line of counteracting the move of the reformers. Truths sporting department passes up the ethics of the question to others, but the effect of the thing on baseball need not be in doubt. It means farewell. Willard Bean has sounded off a challenge to meet Jack Christy. Christy says Willard may have the honor if the thing can be fixed up satisfactorily.

Christy is of larger frame that Bean, but both belong to the clever boxing class, and Beans long experience should so far offset Christys natural advanVERNON tages that the mill, if arranged, ought to be worth seeing. It will be necessary to show every one here that the thing is PURE RYE on the square, however. fltountttrMn - OafosKw MM m IM MuiSf, Dummy Rowan of more or less intermountain ring fame, says he would like to meet Christy. A meeting between these two men would make everybody laugh. Christy is tall and slender, with not to exceed 160 pounds of weight. Rowan is of the order, and could not do better than about 175 if he were starved for a month. He came out of a case of smallpox at 177 two years ago. Christy relies on his speed and general cleverness while Rowan shuts both eyes, lowers his head and mixes in like a Dutch windmill on a spree. If he should ever by accident manage to land on Christy the fight would be over right there, while it is doubtful if Christy could take a pick handle and hit the Dummy hard enough to make him blink. The Dummy belongs somewhere in the among others class of ring artists, and has the same conception of scientific boxing as a purple crocodile would have of the single-ta- x theory, but he can take some awful punishment without welching, and can hit a man like a runaway locomotive once in a while. The two men are not anywhere near the same class, and belong to different ring epochs. Christy says Rowan will have to make which as good as George Richards, late coach of the 160 to get his game, no be will there says fight.

It was expected by local managers that games would be arranged with the Provo institution until during the past week the announcement was made that there would be no football team at Provo this season. It was reported during the week that the old High School team would be re- organized. The proposition came up as the result of a wager that the last years High School team could not defeat this years University team, and preparations were on to get the former team together when the wager was called off, and as a result the team will not be reorganized. The High School Juniors have been organized with the following line-uBrown, center; King, right guard; Burnstein, left guard; Young, right tackle; Davis, left tackle; Riddle, right R.
