It was a regular hurricane from start to Cniib. The battle between Jim Williams of this city and Charley Turner of Stockton, Cal., came ofE before the Pacific Athletic club at a.-.n Francisco last nisrht. and resulted in a Williams started to fight as soon as time was called for the eleventh. He swung heavily on Turner's jaw again and the colored col-ored man went to grass. As soon as he arose Williams gave him a couple of upper cuts, which made him stagger, and a swing on the mouth sent him down. Turner got up and Williams repeated the performance, and after going down six times. Turner laid thirty seconds and was counted out. During the progress of the fight, it was supposed that Williams was getting as much punishment as his opponent, but when all was over it was seen that the Salt Lake man was in firct class shape. Of course the hurricane hur-ricane fighting exhausted him considerably, but after being sponged off the only mark on him was over the left eye. In a quarter of an hour after he left the ring, he was in practically as good shape as when the battlo commenced. The result has raised the Salt Lake man immensely in the estimation of the San Francisco sports, who looked upon Turner as being the equal of young Mitchell and only a shade inferior to Gregcaius. Talk of a match between William Wil-liam and the latter for a f5C00 purse is already al-ready heard and it is certain that before long the Salt Lake man will be pitted against one of the great fighters. Williams" winnings win-nings are heavy. Besides the $2000 purse, he put a good deal of money in the pool rooms, getting odds, and he will probably clean up close on to f.5000. IN THIS CITY. Outside of the Corbett-Sullivan fight, no battle has ever excited so much interest inter-est in Salt Lake as this one, principally, of course, becauso this is Jimmy's home. The betting for a week prior to the fight was quite heavy, and not less than $10,000 In hard cash was up on the result at 10 o'clock last night. At that hour tho various sporting resorts were packed and jammed with people, and when the bulletins commenced coming in the excitement was intense. The reports after the fifth round made the crowd wild, and the prolonged cheering showed that Williams' admirers were ic the majority. When the final result was announced pandemonium pande-monium reigned in the Tunnel and Wilson & Busby's. Cries of ''Our Jim" went up through the streets, and one enthusiastic crowd kindled an immenso bonfire at the corner of Main and Second South street. The boys are preparing to give the champion cham-pion a reception ou his return. glorious victory for Utah's champion. Turner fought with the vim and dash which have von for him a position among the foremost fore-most middle weights of the country, but it did not avail against the superior ability of Williams. At 9 o'clock 4000 excited men crowded tho wigwam and somo lively betting was dons, Turner being a slight favorite. Half an hour later the colored man entered the ring, esquired by the great Australian trainer, Sam Fitzpatrlck, and Tim McGrath and Billy Akers as assistants. Turner was given an ovation by tho crowd, and before the hp-plause hp-plause which greeted his arrival had died away, Williams skipped over the ropes, followed fol-lowed by Del Wilson, Frank Allen and Henry Gallagher. Thomas Chauner, the referee, then advanced ad-vanced to the center of the ring and made the announcement that the fight was to be to a finish for a 2000 purse, the winner to take ail. The men then threw off their sweaters and both showed up in magnificent form. Tumor looked as hard as nails, and a confident expression ex-pression adorned his ugly face.

His appearance was superb and he had some advantage of height and reach and weighed about fire pounds more than the black man. At 9:50 time was called, and the men came up quickly, but spent the three minutes In sizing each other up, neither venturing to lead lor fear of giving an opening. The second round opened with cautious sparring, both men-feinting frequently, but getting no opportunity to land. The tactics were such as always characterize the opening open-ing of a desperate fight, and the audience was pleased. Finally Turner decided to try one of his famous rushes, but the Salt Lake man was ready for it, and only a light exchange ex-change at close range resulted. Turner began leading in the third, and, after falling short a conple of times, succeeded suc-ceeded in landing on the wind, but so lightly that no damage was dona. The ice was broken, though, and the men commenced fighting in earnest. Wi'liams opened the ball in the fourth with a savage lead for the face, but Turner ducked, and came up with a swing on the eye. Williams stepped back to get out of distance, but found himself against the ropes, and at this juncture Turner landed two hot ones on the wind.

At the present time the majority of the admirers of the groat college pastime arc inclined to think that the blue will wave above crimson and orange. Th:s opinion is baed on the work of the tbrse teams in the preliminary gMiict;, and, whlie noted football authorities claim that the comparison based on uch games is of iiuiu value, the average followers of the game seem to think that on the showing mads by the blue-legged players from Yale they 1-ave made theino.ves firt choice. Next Saturday, at Springfield, Yale and Harvard will meet and settle tho qucs;i'.:i of superiority, and on Thanksgiving day Ya'c and the tigers will engage in tiio'.r annual struggle on Manhattan field. Unfortunately Harvard and Princeton will not meet and a thoroughly satisfactorily conrlusion will not be reaeht d. To be sure, if Yale beats both of her rivals, there will he no question u lo the auperiorlty of the blue, but whether Harvard or Princeton is the stronger will be left unsettled. Should Yale overpower ail her opponents, the champions wi 1 te entitled en-titled "t" the highest credit, but the task which Mc-Cormick's men have before them is not an easy one.

Asa result of their defeat, the Princetons have generally gen-erally been set down as Inferior to Yale. The fact remains, however, that the Pennsylvania eleven I worthy to enter the football l.s with either of the three large college team. The easy manner in which "Amheist, Cornell and the Boston Athletic association elevens scored against Harvard ha brought the crimson into ill favor with ihe footuall public. The work of the team early iu I'm season was in iharp contrast with their later performances. When the season opened Harvard playtd a sherp, eleau .-ime, and ran up very jarge scores. But j.ist as the team seemed to be invincible they took a drop. However, for a week past sho has done the hardest and most valuable practice of the seaeon. This will be continuec up to the time of the Springfield game, and the wearers of the crinioD may yet surprise tho football world. But for the unforseen defeat on the field at Mannheim, it is quite likely that Prince-ton Prince-ton would have gone into the game on Thanksgiving day on even terms with Yale, and how far the belief in Princeton's inferiority infer-iority is justified remains to be seen. Willi the exceptlou of tho tack'es it is difficult to pick out any serious flan s in the team. Individually In-dividually and collectively it Is hard to see that either of tho three teams has any decided de-cided advantage, and the contests will doubtless be decided on the basis of team work and skill.
