Betting Favors Maber in the
Twenty-Rodnd Contest
With Moore.
A Great Variety Of Events in
All Circles for the Cur
rent Week.

In the afternoon OF that day, TO Degln
with, the lnterschOlastic field day meet
is the attraction. This will unques-
tionably prove an event Of no little mo-
ment. To explain. the eXuberant and
enthusiastic athletes of the high schools
of this city, Minneapolis and Saltwater
will enter into contest. Minneapolis,
perhaps, has shade the best of the af-
fairs for the reason that it has the most
entries and consequently the most OPP
FORTUNES to win distinction and fame.
Minneapolis, under the regime in vogue
in the Flour City,.and unlike any other
in the state, has four high schools, and
each Of these has equal rights in point
of representation with any other school
in the association denominated inter-
scholastic. But the athletes OF the Cap
itol City are in no way fearful OF re-
suits, and the boys expect to come out
with wreaths of glory.

Tuesday evening there will be a gala
time Tor billiard amateurs in the North
west. Charley Glow and Frank Thayer
are to play their match billiard game
for the Foley, emblem. 1t is in the chal-
lenge series. Glow won the tournament,
as will be recalled. and then he played
Wilmot, upon the challenge of the lat
ter. The championship is to be decided
only upon professional rules. The Win
ner must maintain his right by success
fully defending the trophy three times.
Wilmot was readily defeated, and then
the challenge right passed sequentially
to Thayer. This battle will occur at
Foley'S Tuesday evening. The rules
are, and it is for the amateur balk-line
championship of the Northwest, that
800 points shall be played, and the win
ner of the three challenge games shall
be formally declared the champion of
the Northwest.
No little interest is being taken in the
Foley handicap amateur billiard tour
neyment that is soon to be inaugurated.
1t should be explained that this does
not take the place in any sense OF the
DAILY GLOBE midsummer tourney, but
is supplementary to it. 1t promises to
be an exciting affair. There is $50
added money presented by Mr.. Foley.
and the entrance Is S.. 1t Is surprising
the number of amateurs that have
signified their intention to enter.
and their names will go upon
At least three players have declared in
tentions who have never participated in
any tournament in this city, and it is
more than likely that there are many
others. The handicapping will be made
as carefully as it is possible to conduct
anything of this kind. Mr.. Foley has
never in all his billiard career, been sus-
pected of an unfairnesS in this respect
He always adds to his personal ludg-
ment the ideas oil others. The books
are now open, and next Sunday the
GLOBE will give a list Of the entries.

The challenge game for the GLOBE
amateur bowling championship chal-
lenge tankard between the SUBMITS
and the Columbia clubs will be played
at Foley's Oh Tuesday evening. The
interest. it is true, is not so keen as 1T
was earlier in the tourney, but there
are many votaries who are looking for
ward to this battle with good deal OF
breathless anticipation. The SUBMITS
are the most persistent and enthusiastic
boWlers in the city. The other clubs
have practically suspended active prac-
tice for the season, out Capt. Gerber's
boys are training as though their lives
depended upon the outcome. The Sum-
mits have already won two games, and
should they win Tuesday evening the
series will be ended and the cup will
pass to the Submits,

The great event in sporting calendar
is the Moore-M aber contest before the
Phoenix Athletic club, to occur on the
evening of the 22d. Moore is in hard
training at Bass lake and Maber is
training at Fort Smelling. They are to
weigh in at l4S pounds, and this will
place Moore about where he belongs.
Then betting is in favor of SHADOW"
Maber, as he is called. Still there are
plenty of game sports that are ready to
venture the "long green" that Moore
will be in at the end. 1t is to be a
scientific contest,a and the one that lands
the most points to be given the decision.
The referee will be chosen on the after
noon of the contest and the event will
begin at o'clock sharp.

The bicyclists of the city have had
propitious week. They have done some
good training, and their experiences at
Winona have enforced their confidence
until there is probability of some very
sensational if not startling races in the
near future.
1t was P. A. Egan who won the spe-
clal prize at Wildwood last Tuesday.
This was an elegant gold watch pre-
sented by jeweler Stone to the contest
ant that won the largeS number of points
in the various contests. Egan won
fifty-two points, and the next competitor
was j. H. Pease with twenty-seven
points to his credit.

The Omaha Kid is looking for new
fields to conquer. During the past few
days the hacker of Billy Dixon, the
whilom st. Paul featherweight, who is
now alternating in Toronto, Canada,
has been in the city with view to
matching his protege against the Kid,
and. as the latter is perfectly willing,
there is every probability of a go in the
near future. The Kid is especially pop
ular in st. Paul, and any time he steps
into the arena, there is certain promiae
of big attendance.

Harry W. Wack is one of the most
enthusiastic devoteeS Of manly athletics

happened in the happiest manner con-

foil contest at Ford's music hall, of
which the readers of the GLOBE are

| chosen by common consent as
| the referee. AS he stepped
upon the stage to assume his
functions, and just at the exciting mo-
ment when he had called the contest
ants ''to arms" Prof. Lindley stepped
gracefully to the front and said: MIR.
H.W. Wack: Your extraordinary atten-
ton to the little things as pupil in
swordsmanshipinspire me to presently
with gold medal. In every lesson you
manifested the keenest appreciation

modern fencing. Your great prompt
ness and skill in making the counters,
feints and fery-like risposts. grace
full guards and thruSts lead me to pub
licly commend you as true representa-
tive of lie passe-temps du gentilhomme.'
The medal is beauty. On the pin
