Show ' RIGHT OFF THE BAT. 'Eliet of Harvard, the king bee at that, home of p's and q's, snobs and nature's gentlemen, s" out with the statement that as far as he's concerned, there 11 be football at his school this season Teddy or no Teddy. . Spats, a spike-tailed coat, a "biled" shirt, a monocle and a ehilly acquaintance acquaint-ance with the "r's," will mark Boy Castleton in the future he 's a Noo Yawk American now. The local southpaw south-paw has signed up with the big team and will go to Atlanta Monday to practice. prac-tice. Boy held ont for more money and better terms, and got the both o' 'em. e American league maggots no, magnatesare mag-natesare planning a pension fund for spavined, wind-broken, saddle-galled players, and every one from Ban John-eon John-eon down, is "fer" It That goes to show that even if the general public doesn't care anything for down-an'-out players, these behind the game do. . None but ' umpires with ood eyes can play in the East. Wish they'd send some 'out here we need few "good eyes" to take the place of the bum lamps shining in this neck o' the woods. . . Tex Bickard, all-round sport, tried to kill a newspaper man 'tother day because he didn 't say nice things about Tex. There's no use, Tex, you can't kill 'em, they just naturally fade away. Jack Chesbro, the great Chesbro, over whom Eastern fans almost went crazy the last few seasons, is going to quit and settle down on a farm. It'll be a lone time before there 11 be another anoth-er Chesbro. - Kid Price of this city knocked out Jack Whitney pf Kansas City last night at Green Biver. Rogers and Trice then went on, and fought a draw. Won by a nose thirtjr feet long, was the skating race at the Auditorium rink last night, when Blanche Ogg of here won from Eva Turner of Ogden. Time, 1:58. Distance, half mile.

Ogden is going to send a bowling team to the W. B. C. at Denver next month. Well they won't charge Ogden Og-den anything for that. By the way, 'tis not generally known taht Harry Lewi absolutely refused re-fused to fight Pete Sullivan at lees than 142 pounds, welter-weight, while Pete can't' make over 137. But when Lewis was so hot after Gans, the former for-mer was anxious and willing to make any old kind of weight to meet the stick o' licoriceu. Wonder why he won't come down to weight with Sullivan! sk at i The match between Lewis and Sullivan Sulli-van will probably come about the 10th of next month, but it is likely that Lewis may have to go to Grand Rapids, Mich., to answer to & charge of manslaughter man-slaughter lodged against him for accidentally acci-dentally killing another prize fighter in the ring not long ago. la that event the bout will be postponed, but it surely will take place here before spring. It'll be the headliner of one of the finest athletic bills ever pulled off in- this man 's town. |
