Show WITH THE SPORTS. i After scoring the only knockdown of the evening, and generally surprising sur-prising the fight fans by his quickness quick-ness and marvelous footwork, "Boer" Unholz lost to "Cyclone" Thompson in the eighth round of what was to have been a twenty round contest at Ogdeu on Labor day. The Boer gave Thompson a number of sassy slap before he landed the foul blow that lost him the fight, and the "Cyclone" "Cy-clone" took enough punishment to have satisfied a dozen men. It is JL safe to say that a second meeting bc- f' tween these two scrappers will be a t good drawing card. I ... I Butte now claims a worlds cham pion, Young Ketchell having knocked knock-ed out Champion Joe Thomas of San Francisco in the thirty-second round, ' on Labor day. It was a gruelling ' mill from start to finish, both of the boys taking punishment enough to kill a horse, but the Native Son was finally put to the bad and on Ins own dunghill too so Butte now has the wcltct weight championship of the world and is proud of the Ketchell Kid. At one or two famous golf clubs, whose members arc chiefly Londoners, London-ers, betting on matches has lately assumed as-sumed the proportions of a scandal, and the committees have had pressure pres-sure brought to bear on them, with the object of putting an end to the practice. They find themselves, however, how-ever, in a most difficult position, as any arbitrary ruling on the subject of betting would undoubtedly cause Intense In-tense dissatisfaction to the majority of members. Young Peter Jackson beat the tar out of Terry Mils tain at Goldfield on Labor day, the end coming in the seventeenth round, when the referee mercifully gave the decision to' Jackson Jack-son to save Mustaiu from the hospital hos-pital or the undertaker. The lads waded in from the tap of the gong, and there was fierce mixing every round, the miners surely getting their moiuy's worth. . John Dubci's nine little tailors put it all over the Park City bass tosscrs last week, and John is thinking of challenging the Chicago Cubs. In the Park City game Dubci, Jr., a 15-ycar old lad, played in the right garden and proved to be as good an exponent of base ball as any of the gang John has working for him. . Young Walcott lasted just three rounds in his bout with Bob Watkins at P.-rk City. When time was called for the fourth round, Walcott fell off his ciiair and refused to gc: up and he made a punching bag for his opponent. lie had enough, and knew it, and quit while there was a chance of keeping out of the hospital. Bert Fuller, the Salt Lake Chauffeur, Chauf-feur, with a "laugh that can be heard half a mile," attempted to lower the world's auto record for a mile at Wandamcrc on Labor day, made a game ride but failed to get in the limelight to any great extent. He made the mile in 1:24 1-5. The record re-cord is 1:23 5-8. Pete Sullivan has issued a challenge chal-lenge to bo.x "Cyclone" Thompson before any club, barring Ogdcn. Pete has blacklisted Ogdcn proper. Sul-liv.in Sul-liv.in says that he has the baching when it comes to betting, and he is anxious to meet Thompson again, as the latter staled that Sullivan was given giv-en an unfair decision over him in the fust and only battle the two men have had. They were matched again, but Sullivan said that some of his Ogden friends gave him a tip that there was going to be trouble and that lie would got the worst of it and Sullivan refused re-fused to enteitaiu the Ogdcn crowd. The Native Sons were hit quite hard in the vicinity of their pookct-booki pookct-booki as the result of the outcome of the Thomns-Ketchcll fight for the welter-weight championship, Thomas being the favorite in the betting and 90 per cent of the rooting being for the Native Son. Thomas and his friends the best man won, and you can figure that is straight talk. . Kid Bell of Denver knocked out Young Sclby of Nevada at the Murray Mur-ray opera house, last Saturday night, after seven and a half rounds of lnrd and fast bo.xing. The battle loyal, which preceded the main event, proved prov-ed i frost, the live negroes evidently being afraid of having their beauty marred. The match lasted ten minutes min-utes and Willard Seals as declared the winner. It is announced that but few chang- H cs will be made in the football rules H this season. It will still be the pro- H per thing to kick in the ribs of an H opposing player when he is down, to M gr.ib a fellow by the long hair ikccs- H sary to all participants in the game, J and to tieal each member of the op- M posing team in the same manner the H Indians used to do when they had the H I ale faces playing that little game H called running the gauntlet.
