The Marine has liiunched a proposition in which he offers to stop the big fellow in ten rouuds for f 1U0 a side and gate receipts. re-ceipts. Local sporting circles will scarcely be satisfied until they have seen a go between, the Marine and Jim Williams, Wil-liams, who now wears, undisputed, the territorial belt. A sparring match for ten rounds would show a superior degree de-gree of science. Williams could I e induced in-duced to enter the ring again for a genteel gen-teel match for points, but not for a tight. Tbe matinee at tho Driving park on Saturday last was productive of considerable consid-erable sport and its repetition will call out a large attendance. The races were better than the average on such occasions occa-sions aud highly enjoyed by all who witnessed them. The Sunday game of base ball between be-tween the M. It. Evans nine and'the Fort Douglas club resulted iu a victory for the former yesterday by a score of 10 to 4. The boys are working hard to build up the sport in Ziou aud are worthy of generous gener-ous patronage. Ogden has not yet taken definite steps towards the securement of a crack nino. It was understood that the iu-tention iu-tention was to dispute with Salt Lake for the penaut, and to that end tho local management is now looking. A well-known sporting man who witnessed wit-nessed the tight between Jackson and Corbett Kays there M no doubt in his mind that the latter had his rival ou the verge of a knockout. The trouble was, however, that the club's clientele had too much at stake on Jackson to permit per-mit them to catch their third wind, and hence the action. A local sport who had $000 in the box at the turf exchange stated that he took Jackson as the favorite in that he knew if the colored man could not win, the referee would not pjrunt him to sutler defeat.

Accidents will happen in baseball. It pays to provide ngainst accidents sometimes. Hardy Richardson got hurt, aud Brooklyn was sorry that it allowed Smith to go.
