The Worlds Fair" is new and quite

every building is faithfully reproduced

are marked, and the counters are
moved over the number of them
shown by the spinning indicator.

Instead Of counters the players use tiny

But the postal system is decidedly faulty

how Maher can lose il he's fit to fight.
Ashton stayed eight rounds with Goddard
when he was in no shape to box. After
the very first round Jack was exhausted,
but the Australian couldn't finish him.
Maher is good puncher and he can't

dard will win.
Goddard is we'll satisfied with the result
OF his training at Passaic. He is a hard
worker, Notwithstanding that he seems to
take life easy. At 10 80 every morning he
goes out for a fve-mile sprint over the
roads Of Bergen county. He has been to
most of the historical points about Passaic.
In the afternoon he takes an eight-mile
tramp. In the evening he rows on the
river for an hour or two, and then punches
the bag or Billy Madden, his trainer. for
an hour or two. Sometimes he has a
friendly bout with Jem Gibbons, his host.

river with the tide. Gibbons and Madden
lassoed it and drew it to the dock, but
they were not able to land it, The next
morning Goddard was told of the capture
and, going to the dock. seized the rope and
pulled the log up. 1t weighed nearly a
thousand pounds. Goddard weighs about
$50 pounds, and declares that he feels in
the best of shape. Goddard is favorite in
the betting, the reports from Maher's
training quarters being unsatisfactory.
In a recent letter to an Australian paper
Bob Fitzsimmons says:
Joe Goddard is man of grit and is bound to
do well as long he keeps clear of Peter Jackson
or Jim Corbett If he ever matches himself to
fight either of these mer-especially the former
he'll meet his 'Waterioo" sure. But Just let
me tell you this-there is no man breathing on
this earthly paradise who can lick Jackson.
Peter, fit and well, can dcnkey-lick the whole

Sullivan, Jackson would do him up badly iuside

New YORK, Dec 4.-Peter Maher, the

The purse hung up for the men to battle
for is 81. 500, of which 81 900 will go to the

The football season is at an end in the

October and November. On the Pacific
coast the mild climate permits the

Down in California the interest il CEN
tered on the annual match between STAN
ford and Berkeley universities, which takes
place next Saturday. The football public
is all the more worked up over the outcome
of the match because the two teams are
doing their training under two Of
the best-known football men in
America, who have been brought
clear across the continent for
the purpose. Walter Camp the famous
Yale coach, who has been the chief ad-
wiser to the team of his alma mater for
the past ten or twelve years, is giving
Stanford university the benefit of his long
experience and original thought, while
''Bum" McClung. who captained Yale last
season, is devotlng his best energies to
bringing out all the latent strength of the
Berkeley eleven.
Upon finishing their tutorship in Call

some Of the far Western colleges with q
view to advancing the interest of football.
There is chance of their coming to the
Pacific Northwest, and visit from them

Following its match with Berkeley the
Stanford University team is meditating q
tour of conquest to the north during the
holidays. 1t has been negotiating for
games with the athletic clubs of Portland,
Tacoma and Seattle, and is looking out for
any others it can secure. If the trip is
made it will give the game big impetus
