If It anything Burns had bad a little the better of oC the tho argument In settling the question of ot a a man man to succeed Jeffries J ff les pair have over overlooked ov overlooked r looked Mike Hike Shreck k who by his victory over John WUIe Wille has h s as much claim as any of ot them to the honor With Jack Johnson in Australia the question of ot who is the best bet man In America outside of ot Jeffries has bits simmered down to Shreck OBrien and Burns It should be a survival of the fittest t of this bunch to represent America in the battle batHe against Bill Squires who Is bound tt be one on of the principals In Americas next big battle battIe Jimmy Coffroth is however already at work on a match betwEen Squires Sq and the winner of the B fight next Wednesday night and arn an Shreck will wUl probably be overlooked Should Shou d Squires win this fight he ha will wm be forced by public pu opinion to meet Shreck before the fighting public especially the east eastern eastern ern em end of ot It will wiil accept him as ac the premier of American lighters fighters Shreck is not well thought of ot on the coat coast where he ha failed fall d to make a good goo showing two years ago when he lost to the big Twin Sullivan and could do no better than a draw with Billy Woods The Dutchman Dut Is however backed strong by the eastern astern contingent of sporting writers who wha can be depended upon to to push his claims which means he will wUI have to be put out of the way w y before a clear title will be given anyone of the seekers for the championship When it has simmered flown down own to one man and he has proved himself b ms better than all the rest without a doubt big Jim Jeffries may come out of at retirement and show himself again PRIDE OF PROVO AS FRUIT RAISER W E Samuelson the the bike rider Ider SIn in addition to being being able to smash worlds records is somewhat of a horticulturist Long before the Pride of Provo began pushing a pedal for a living g he worked In the fruit orchards around Utah county and what Sammy y know about raising fruit is 15 I hardly worth mention A friend of ot his knowing this asked him Just after the last cold old snap how it was possible to tell teil whether the frost had bad hipped his peach trees Sammy looked wise and replied easy Take one of ot the buds and care carefully carefully fully tully peal leaves of ot one of ot the blossoms You Tou Youcan can tell by looking at atthe atthe atthe the inside of the flower If It Is withered and shriveled UP the th frost ost has sot got action if not the blossom is O 0 K and the peaches will His Ills friend replied that his explanation looked good bu he e did not like to destroy half halt the crop to experiment k Hows that than Samuelson said and his friend replied Well you see the tree has only two blossoms on and If it I pull one on off oft half this years ears crop Is gone goneI gone goneI I guess Ill take chances on the frost It will m not be Ie more mor disastrous than your our system anyway TIME FOR BERN STEIN TO MOVE MO MOThe E EThe The arrest of Kid Bernstein for or starting trouble In I the street car strike last week meets with the approbation of every fight fan tan In hi the city If It the police would give him hours to get out of ot town and then see that the in injunction injunction InJunction junction Is enforced It would be greatly appreciated by all lovers of the game Kid Bernstein has posed as a fighter around this part of ot the country for tor six nix months H He Is a it dub of ot the rankest kind and a faker taker who would throw a contest cont st for tor a n meal ticket Run out or of Ogden he lie has made Salt Lake e his headquarters Now and then he has appeared at Bingham Murray and Lark only to hand the fight fans a deal d al of ot the rankest kind Bernstein has succeeded in getting boosts on himself as a fighter on the sporting pages of papers in the city other than The Herald His requests for space in h these columns hive have hl been repeatedly turned down as are those of ot all fighters in liEs his class Taking the press notices received Bernstein has used them to work up his fake fights in the small towns outside of ot Salt Lake and pick up a few dollars and then come to Salt Lake and brag about it Murray Murr y probably had one of the rawest deals of this kind handed them a few weeks week we k kago ago The promoters of the contest told the writer that Bernstein was given a fight on account of the he lie had received In Salt Lake papers and that henceforth they would depend on The Herald to get the true worth w rth of or a pugilists ability The fight game at its best Is bad enough as conducted at present and such suchen nen en as Bernstein do more harm hann in one day than a dozen honest hon st scrappers like Uke Hyland Jimmy Sholes and Sholes can undo In a month OGDEN TOURNAMENT A SUCCESS With the Ogden Olden tournament a page In ancient history the Ogden pro promoters pr promoters can settle ettle back and say It was as a success in eVery particular and is again placed In the front ranks as a shooting town The Utah trap shooters sho now have nothing in sight for the rest of ot the year y r unless they care to take in the Colorado meeting In August The distance e and expense are however ho ever a little too strong for th average shooter There is a chance for some sport and the local trap shooters should be DC up and doing and see that no bets are arc overlooked Jim Head told the writer at Ogden this week that the largest bunch of shooters that traveled across the country would attend the Denver Denyer shoot From there they go to Spokane for the northwestern tournament and will have about a weeks layoff between these two events Head says with little Inducement they would stop over In Salt Lake for a couple of at days day The local gun club should take advantage adv of this opportunity and arrange a two days tournament It was proved a year ago that such an event could be made a big success and with all the cracks on hand ha d it U would be less trouble to duplicate the tournament of or a year ago BILL BINGLEY ON One day da this week Bill Bingley walked
