Fr'ed-dv Fr'ed-dv ran make the weight 133 pounds either riiiiniile or otherwise and that is what Wolgat 7anta. McFarland cannot make i weight and that is where the hitch comes in there, and the some condition applies to Matt Wells, the English champion, unless he has been able -to reduce more than he supposed sup-posed three months ago. That leaves Welsh and Knockout Brown as the real light weights for Addock to met. Thorwald Elleeaard, the Danish eve-P list and world s champion, won the Grand Prix sprint race at Paris last ij Sunday. This is the next biggest race i to the world 'a championships in Ku- I rone.

Again we sav and this time without fear of contradiction) it's too damned hot to write or read. Why don't some of our ambitious voting promoters get busy and make a bid for the Flynn-M jrris got Freddie Welsh mav he willing to bet $10,000 that he can beat Ad Wolgast. but it doesn't hardly sound like Fred die. That Helena club has surely proven a stumbling block for one club in the Union league. One guess. That's right. If that Michigan person must be called a cheese any more let's make it Roquefort, or what's that very loud kindf iu the final heat, the latter two finishing finish-ing in the order named. Under the rules but three men are in the final. and they pain their placea'Throughf elimination elim-ination trials held at previous meets. Jimmy Moran, the American pace follower, fol-lower, was one of the three men in the final heat of the motor paced Grand Prix, but he fell and broke his collar bone, which put him out of the compe ; tifion. The race was won by I-avaJade, with Hour second. Moran will receive third money, frank Kramer, the American Amer-ican natioual champion, has won the Grand Prix twice, and is the only rider who ever captured it on two occasions -in succession. Ho firxt won the event in 1900, when he made his initial European Eu-ropean trip, defeating Potitain and Mayer in the final heat. His repeat was in lio on his second invasion of the continental racing centers, and on that occasion he triumphed over Poulain ; and t'riol. F. R. Castleman, physical director of the University of Colorado, and one of the best known amateur athletes in the A. A. U. and intercollegiate ath lctic circles, has been spending the past few days in the city on a visit. Castleman has seen five years of re-1 re-1 lent len and successful service at th University of Colorado, aid is taking a much needed rest. In his time h has been one of the best all around athletes ath-letes in the country, having been far above the avers in football, track and baseball.

All teaming in bicycle races has be n eliminated at Newark and the races are said to have developed iuto most ladylike affairs. The best evidence that Ad Wolpaat is a real champion lies in the fact that be can dictate his own terms aa to coin. That's a sure sign. 8o much for Beggar Sam. Jack Johnson John-son sav he won't fight .him unless the Boston tar baby digs up $10,000 to bet on hia chances. They will never meet. Mike Yokel writes from his ranch in Wyoming that it is so hot up there "the sun bakes the tomatoes growing in the fields." It adds greatly to the joys of life to pluck stewed tomatoes right off the trees. Jack Johnson has started on his extended ex-tended lemon hunt, which will take him around the world before he gets through picking. Don't b'ame Johnson because they would all do the same thing, and many of them have done it. Now they are bragging about the big betting going on at Pittsburg over the baseball games. If there is anything on the face of the earth that people would better brag about, it is just that same betting at baseball games.
