Chicago. Dec. 2i.--The six round con-
test between Tom Tracy and Joe Wal
colt, which will wind up the boxing
entertainment at Battery ID tonight,
promises to be the best seen here in
some time. The men In regard to
weight are evenly matched but in
height and reach Tracy has great ad-
vantage. The Barbados Wonder, as
Walcott is known. comes under the
head of Sawed offs" being but five
feet one and one half inches tall, six
inches and "A quarter shorter than
Tracy. with the lacks in height and
reach, however, he makes up in clever
ness and hitting powers. In point of
Cleverness they are pretty evenly
matched. Although the contest will be
but six rounds, the championship OF
the weller weight division hinges on
the result. Tommy Ryan. who claims
first honors for that class, is a shade
too heavy to be considered weller
weight, and as Tracy and Walcott are
undoubtedly the best 40 and 1i2
FOUNDERS in the ring today the title
should lie between them. even though
il is not at stake in tonight's contest.
This Will be the third meeting of
those high class welters The first

which took place in Boston. was won
by Walcott in the sixteenth round
through misunderstanding of the
referee who got mixed up ola he num-

NJ. Pullman of Chicago, had a very
narrow escape from death in the Bos-
ton & Maine station last night. The
doctor came into the station just as the

jumped for it, but lost his balance and
fell beneath the step, rolling on the
track. A young man saw him fall,
and grabbed him by the leg, pulled
him off the track, the wheels just graz
ing his shoulder.
The doctor was very much shaken up.
His only comment on his escape was
II am old enough to have known bet
ter. / thank God that | learned better
before it was too late"
He tried to reward his rcscuer but
the young man would take nothing.

Of public works of Salt Lake City.
They said there is at the present
time but one small item OF public work
being done in the city sewer on l.
street; that while sewers, paving and
repairs. sidewalks and all contract
work was in the hands of the board the
fact is there is no public work OF press
Ing necessity and no money to do such
work, whatever the necessity; that the
city engineer, with a committee of the
most practical men in the City Council,
could attend to all OF the work of the
board of public works for years TO
come, and that the board ought to be
abolished until further need of 1t
arose, Their claim was one OF economy.
They pointed out that the chairman of
the board receives $1,000 per year; that
the three or four other members each
receives 800 per year and for clerical
work $50 yer month Is paid, making a
total of $l66O or SLIGO per year that
might be saved.
