Murray. They attempted to determine
the question month ago, but they are
sore remarkably evenly matched i'll PROV
eSs that no conclusion was had. Inc
contest was draw. Both candidates
are anxious I'd settle the matter for all
time. 1t has peen question OF dispute
for several years, and meanWhl!e each
has impIOVedim skill until the dlfnculty
has increased rather than anything else.
Besides, all lovers of the manly art IN
the Northwest are equally interested
with the contestants. They desire TO
see the final test made. 1t was because
of this feeling, very strongly expressed,
that Manager Barnes, of the Phoenix,
was induced to hang up a goodly
sized purse for Moore and Murray to
spar for. 1t will be twenty-fye-round
scientific match. Surely one of them
should demonstrate his superiority III
such a trial, end there is no danger OF
draw this time. Moore has been fitting
himself all month for the encounter at
the Phoenix. He was in good condition
to begin with, out he will enter the
arena on Thursday evening in finer
trim than be DYER was before in his ring
career. Heraaiizes the task that has
been set him, and he never before
trained so co hscientio usly. Indeed, it
has often bd en- remarked by the best
judges who nd We been familiar with his
work, that Did * has always been rather
Indifferent in training. Several times
he has entered the ring without any
preparation, comparatively speaking.
This was particularly true of the in
stances when he has been "bested."
And Murray, always consistent trainer,
has exceeded himself for this event.
He has trained at Minneapolis, and he
Int tI,ot In
ever did before. He is ambitious, and
he will do his utmost to show the most
points. 1t is his aim to get slices
of some of the big purses that are Of
feTed by the more Opulent athletic clubs
of the country. Should he win Thurs
day evening he will issue challenge to
meet any man in America in his class.
He has a long reach, is quick as a cat on
his feet, has keen eye, and is as handy
with his "duAes" as they make 'em.
Besides, he is a powerful, athletic
young fellow Who has never hurt him
self by eXcessds of any sort. 1t will be
red letter day for the Phoenix. Already
alarge number of seats have been re-
served. Minneapolis contingent will be 4
down, and a special tram from Still
water will bril- * the devotees Of manly
sports, who hid We signifed their desire
to witness the contest, from that city.

Local talent, will complete the pro-
gTamme. Tho management will put on,
for illustration, such faYOrites with the
gloves as John Is, Barnes, Morris Self,
Jack McDonoqgh, the clever Appleton
brothers, and The like.

The first challenge game for the
DAILY GLOBE elegant solid silver and
gold mounted champion bowling tank
ard will be displayed Tuesday evening
at FOley's, between the University ave
nue. and the Summit clubs. The former
club, as a matter of course, will do its
almost to maintain the prestige that
was earned i'll the original series of the
tournament, SO that the cup shall not
pass from the possession of the redoubt-
able boys so calamity piloted to victory
after victory Joy Capt. Bayer. Should
they fail, the chances will be against
their again recovering the trophy.

interest and eagernesS will begin Friday
evening, and the captains of all the
clubs that participated in the GLOBE
tournament a1to requested to be present
at Tuesday evenings game, so that
all the ARRANGEMENTS may be finally per-
fected. There Will be nine candidates
in the race, but the games will be reeled
off in rapid succession, so as to get them
over before the weather becomes too
warm for comfort on the alleys. Foley

fine circulation Of air is provided. In
