Show l Sporting Gossip III Jim Jeffries declares that when Papke and Ketchell meet again, 1 1 the Dutch champion will give Ketchell another beating. Jeff figures I H that Papke is the better man, and that the severe beating he admin-I admin-I ' istered to the former champion will aid in his victory at the next 1 1 meeting, as he does not believe that Stanley has ever fully recovered. I ' I The members of the Ogden High school football team are in I : 1 mourning, while the Salt Lake high school boys have been cutting up I , all sorts of high jinks since last Saturday, when the Salt Lake eleven I defeated the Junction City team, the score being IS to 9, in one of the IJ5 prettiest football contests ever witnessed in the state. 3!

Hack deli de-li I clares that he will put up the fight of his life to regain the honors he I' I lost to the clever American. I' Frank Kramer continues to be the king pin among the bike I riders in the East, although it is claimed that all team work has been l cut out. But it will be noticed that when Clarke is pushing him I pretty hard for first place, some of the other riders come to Kramer's If i assistance. It A. W. Copp won the golf championship of the state in one of the I' most exciting and closest matches ever witnessed by the golf enthu- li 1 siasts in this state. F. E. McGurrin, who has held the championship I I for the past three years, lost the title to Copp. I Nazzaro, the Italian automobile driver, is coming over to this I country to show our boys how to drive the chug wagons at a dizzy I clip, being scheduled to take part in the international automobile I race at Savannah, Ga., on November 6th. I The story is now being circulated that Portland is to have teams I in both the Pacific Coast and the Northwest league next season, and I that the Butte team will be transferred to Portland. The same rumors I were circulated at the close of last season, but the plans never got I: i any farther than in the papers. I. Mexico is running a bowling tournament, and the winners will take part in the American championship games. I Ed Gecrs, who has a string of trotters on the Grand circuit, has a I new rule in his stable. Each groom shall receive one per cent, of the j I horses' winnings aside from his daily wages. 1 1 Two English Rugby teams will visit this country this fall for I games with the Stanford University and California University teams.

I 1 The hard fight of the Tigers caused the belt of a Detroit fan to H slip, and now he imagines he is William Shakespeare, William Booth I j and Victor Hugo, all rolled into one. I The Amateur Athletic union indoor championship will be run off H I in Madison Square Garden, November 30th and December 1st. I ' Sam Spitz, the first and only man to bowl a perfect score in a H league game in Utah, having performed that feat during a league game HI one night last winter, was presented with a watch fob at the Quinn I J, bowling alleys at the close of a league game last week. Sam is one of H ij the most popular bowlers in the city, as well as one of the best. H ; Larry Burns hasn't had enough yet, and wants another match I with Peter Sullivan, who recently gave Larry a good trimming down H at Ephraim. H Although the baseball season has just ended, there is already talk H of a league for next season, in which Colorado and Utah towns are H i to have teams. But it is all talk. The question of railroad fare is one H that can not be overcome, and all the baseball the residents of Salt H Lake will get next season will be that furnished by a state league, the HI same as this year. And if the teams are strengthened up a little, there H' is no reason why the fans should not be content with a state league. Hi It might be a great deal worse. Hr Frank Gotch, the champion wrestler, has secured a theatrical en- H; gagement in England, finding that there was but little money in the H wrestling game at the present time. He will no doubt frame up a K few matches for the entertainment of the Britons when he is not too HU crowded with theatrical engagements. Gotch is out after the coin, and H declares he will not turn down any reasonable offer. HI The National baseball commission has suspended over twenty Hi baseball players from the major and American association teams for HI alleged violations of the rules forbidding players in regular standing H' playing with or against clubs supporting ineligible players or owned H or managed by ineligible players.

Tommy Burns is to receive $30,000 for his fight with Jack John- A. son, win, lose or draw. Johnson will be lucky if he gets enough coin T to buy a ticket back home. But look at the fun he will have. Micky Gammon, an eastern scrapper, is picked by Mike Murphy, the celebrated athletic trainer of New York City, for the successor to Battling Nelson as the lightweight champion. Murphy claims that Gammon has a left swing that is just the proper thing to stop those peculiar rushes of Bat's. The lid is on again in Milwaukee, the governor having ordered that all the matches be cancelled. The rowing authorities of the United States Naval academy have ' decided to challenge the Cornell 'Varsity eight for either a two or a 1 four mile race to be rowed next spring. 1 Cy Hollister is one of the Salt Lake boys who has been getting into the money down East, recently finishing first in a handicap race in which Samuelson and some of the other Salt Lake boys also ran. Fifty-six games won and only twenty-one lost was Pittsburg's wonderful record away from home this season. On November 22 the racing season will open in Los Angeles with some of the best horses in the United States, as .well as the largest field in the history of the game in the state of California.

Jim Coffroth is endeavoring to frame up a match between these two boxers for Thanksgiving day. A pin pool tourney at the Malone billiard academy is one of the novelties of the present week, a number of the local billiard experts taking part. There does not seem to be the same interest taken this season in the bowling game as last year, judging from the number of teams entered en-tered in the league. Last year there were six teams, while this season but four have entered the race for the pennant. The boys that are bowling, however, make up in enthusiasm what they lack in numbers.

Three of the players averaged aver-aged above 241. Boxing and dancing go hand in hand in Corinne, if the reports are correct. It is said that after a boxing contest between a couple of Utah boys one night last week, the floor was cleared and a dance was held, which was well attended. E A Butte dog, Wolf, owned by Thomas Knight of Butte, won the Waterloo stake and cup at the coursing tournament at Butte, de- 1 feating Rear Admiral, owned by H. A. Elliott, of Salt Lake, after an i exciting contest. ' Among attractions touring the country this year, are "The Girl Question," and the eastern and western "The Time, the Place and the Girl" companies. In every city where these Askin-Singer attractions have been seen so far, they have established new records for attendance attend-ance and popularity that will not be equaled for some time to come. Dick Egan, the fast little third baseman who was with the Spokane team when Salt Lake had a franchise in the Pacific Northwest North-west league, has been drafted by the Cincinnati club. Dick has been making good the past three seasons, and finally has been gobbled up by the big fellows. He will make good in Cincinnati, if given v. half a chance. SPEAKING OF NEW IDEAS. There's this about the Louvre when there is a novelty to be in troduced in restaurant life, this restaurant originates it. It doesn't copy somebody else doesn't wait for somebody else to do it first the Christmas, New Year's and other holiday features were first seen here in the Louvre the special wire election night is an innovation never been given to restaurant patrons here before, and therein lies the novelty there'll be a lot of other surprises from time to time-but time-but say, the management always bears in mind that people have learned that they can always find the best of everything to eat and drink at the Louvre Rathskellar, and that in striving to give the -viveurs who congregate there something new under the sun in the'' way of entertainment, not for one minute is careful attention to cuisine, cui-sine, service and every other department lost sight of. The Louvre is simply a city cafe in all that the name implies, only a little better than those to be found outside of the eastern centers. E. L. WILLE, Mgr. ' ' |
