The sporting event that Is keeping
the votaries of the Northwest busy is
the forthcoming Moore-Maber scientific
glove contest. 1t will occur before the
Phoenix Athletic club on the evening of
the 10Th inst. Both men are putting
themselves in perfect shape for the
contact. The fact that Maber refused
to go on next Thursday night, as was
originally intended. indicates that he
proposes to be ready to battle for his
life, 80 to speak. Moore is ready to go
into the squared circle at any time. II
he loses this contest it will not be his
fault. He has done everything that
any athlete can do to get himself in
readiness.
There are already nine entries In the
midsummer amateur handicap billiard
tournament that is to be given by Tom
Foley. This is sweepstakes affair, and
in this respect it differs materially from
all of the Journeys that have been given
in the Northwest. Each entry is accom-
panied by $3.50 and like sum is to be
posted by each player when the handi-
cap is announced and accepted by the
rivals. Should any of the entries be
dissatisfied with the handicap, they can
forfeit the original fee, and all this will
be added to the main purses. Foley Will
himself add $50, and this together with
the entrance fees will make good money
for the amateurs to contest for.
~
The players who have already entered
for the tournament are Glow. Bingham,
Wilder, WeiSenberger. Monroe, Thayer,
Estes, Clark, and Dickinson. and it is
known that there are several others who
will sign before the play begins. The
handicap odds are to be arranged by
committee that is to be designated by
Foley upon his return from Chicago,
and there is little doubt that all will be
satisfactory to the great majority that
will participate.

B. B. Bird, the Minnesota champion,
