The Weekly Roundup of
Sporting Events Of Cur
rent Interest.

The event that is attracting the most
interest and comment ih the sporting
world of the Northwest just now is the
meet between Dick Moore, the North
western welterweight champion. and
Billy Maber, the Australian. who comes
with record of his prOweSS that has
been equaled by few in the arena. The
trial of skill and endurance will occur
IN the ring of the Phenix Athletic club
Thursday evening of next week. Both
men have great deal to win in this
meet. They have each attracted the
lovers of manly sports all over the
country by their wonderful perform
ances. and neither will succumb TO the
other until decided superiority has
been actually attained. IL is largely
for this reason that tie next entertain
ment of the Phoenix club Is attracting
such widespread attention In the North
west.
During the past week inquiries have
been received by tho management of
the club from several of the principal
points along the railway lines, even
from Montana, and it Is likely that the
contest will attract much larger crowd
than has attended any of the meetings
of the club. Minneapolis will be here
strong, and they will come as enthusi-
astic Maber hackers. 1t is stated that
there are many of the lovers OF the
sport in the Mill city who desire to
wager quite heavily on their fayorite,
and this is because of the work that
Maber did before the Twin City Ath-
letic club of that city In his contest with
Jimmy Griffin recently. But the
chances are that the Mill city money
will not go begging, for the st. Paul
devotees are impressed with Moore's
abilities, and are not afraid to back
their opinions. This fact was pretty
well demonstrated at the meeting OF
Moore and Murray.
IT.
Moore is already in grand form. He
has been training at Bass lake. When
he last entered the arena of the Phoenix
club he weighed Isl pounds. The best
judges agree that he looked somewhat
too fleshy, but this time, in compliance
with the articles of agreement. he will
be compelled to weigh in at 14S, about
where he belongs, and where he should
be for his greatest performance. On the
other hand, Maber did not have to train
down. He was below weight when he
met Griffin, and the arrangements for
this go were effected directly after that
event, and he had no time to get out of
condition. Immediately upon signing
articles, he went to Fort Smelling and
established training quarters. Health
full exercise is all that he needed, and
this Is what he is getting in liberal
measure.
Al
The next succeeding entertainment
of the club will give the Hundreds Of
admirers of the Omaha Kid another
opportunity to witness his proficiency
with the gloves. So far, like Dick
Moore Of late, he has proven invincible,
and now he is looking for big game. He
has found it in Tommy Dixon, who has |
been signed by the club for the July |
meeting.
Several entries have already been |
made for the Foley midsummer amateur
sweepstakes handicap billiard tourna-
ment. The play will begin next month
arranged. The entrance fee is SIS, and |
one-half this amount is paid i'll upon
entering, and the balance is to be put |
up when the handcaps are announced
and accepted by the contestants. Should
an entry fail to put up this balance he
will forfeit the $3.50 placed at the time
OF the entry. The tournament will be
under the supervision and management
of Mr.. Foley. who will add $50 to the
entrance moneys, and the whole, TO-
gether with forfeit moneys, should
there be any, will be divided into four
purses. to be given to the wlnaers Of
the tourney.
AS soon as the entries are all in
handicapping committee will be named |
by Mr.. Foley, and these gentlemen. who
will certainly be selected because of |
their fitness for the Office, will give
their estimate Of tine relative strength
of the contestants: Then report will
be submitted to Mr.. Foley, and public
announcement made. Play will begin
soon after this.
On July the st. Paul Cycle club will |
probably have twenty-five mile bicycle |
race at Kittsondale. The club so far |
has not shown any great activity. 1t !
proposes, however, to have a number |
of century runs before fall sets in, and |
will also begin its races to Saltwater
before very long.
