Policemen's Heavy-Weigbt Race

Captain James w Gillins COMPANY tbs
pride of the Police Department, is ali ex-
citement over a foot race which is about
to come off between Officers ]. T. Edner
and Edward Nolan. Both men are now in
training, while Prison-keeper Franz
O'Brien jingles 800 in his pocket the re.
suit Of a bet made by the two men. who
will try each others speed on the old baea-
ball grounds at Sixteenth and FoIson,
streets within the next two weeks
The bet and the race grew out of an In.
cident which occurred last Monday nipbt
when Sergeant Blank detailed four Of
GERS to round up a gang OF hoodlums wbc
were annoying the residents of Rrvant
and Nineteenth streets. Edner and NoIa =
were among those sent out to do the
catching act. While giving chase to the
fieetfooted toughs Edner caught two
while Nolan only bagged one over thess
captures came the challenge as TO which
was the best runner. There was onIv
one way of deciding the speed and this
was to run race at 100 yards The match
each man deposited $50 with O'Rrien snS
officer Charles Barnes was selected as tba
referee. 'Ae
The comical side of the race and +be
bets is that both men belong to the heavy
weight squad. Edner weighs 200 nonnds
while Nolan turns the beam at 195 hounds
Both men are now in active training tax
ing their spins when off duty and walk
ing their beats with such a rapid move
ment as to excite the curiosity of the Mis-
sion residents, who have been accustomed
to. see the cops walk at the rate Of a
mile an hour.

puppies were shown, contrary to the rules.
Both were beauties and were awarded the
blue ribbon. Grouse f was alone in nov
ice dogs and competed with Sport w in
the open. Grouse was ludicrously fat, but
was SO much better than Sport that he
was rightly awarded the blue in spite of
his poor condition. StambOleta. a splen-
did bitch, was alone in the. open and
champion Qeen of Counts lacked compe
tition in her class.
In bull terriers Daisy was the only bitch.
She has thick head and was another
instance of Payne's poor judgment in
awarding a first. In dogs Teddy Roose
welt, a little too fat but very good in head
and body, was easy winner. Second
was withheld and third was given to
Dewey, cross between bull dog and
bull terrier.
Roly Poly, a halfbreed, shown as a
SpitZ, obtained a second prize, being alone
in her class. Japie, a perfect specimen of
the japanese spaniel, beat Fugi Sam, q
Dachshund bitches, as was Rex NJ in
dogs. Each obtained a blue and was
good type of the class. Fanny, shown as
a bobtailed sheep dog. was simply a half
breed collie with a docked tail and was
properly sent out of the ring.
Judging will be resumed tomorrow and
prohablY will be concluded.

just as the gong signaled the end of the
round. There was no chance of his being
ready at the end of the minute rest. so
the decision went to Toy. The victory
was not popular one, as the spectators
thought Toy resorted to unfair tactics.
The bout between Vickers and Ennis de-
velOped an incipient riot. Sergeant Coo
gan and his men had to enter the ring in
the sixth round, as the principals and sec
ondS seemed intent upon making battle
royal. The boxers had all the lion in them
aroused and for four rounds had. stood UP
manfully and exchanged punch for punch.
In the sixth round Ennis was fighting
furiously when the bell sounded. He kept
right on, although Referee Greggains tried
TO stop him. The seconds for both men
were swaying, struggling mass about
the boxers when the police took a hand.
They cleared the ring and the referee de-
clared it mo contest" saying the men
were there to box and not act like bull
dogs.
The majority of the bouts were good
the spectators getting full worth for their
money. Charley Thurston and Henry
Lewis, Deacon Jones and Joe Dodson
fought draws. Mike Mcclure received the
decision over Dan RYAN.

NEEL THE TENNIS KING.
Regains the Western Championship
by Defeating Collins.

CHICAGO, July 19.-The Western tennis
championship reverted to Carr B. Neel to-
day, when he defeated Kreig Collins in
the championship round of the tourna-
closely contested match the champion of
1895 and 1896 regained his lost title and
came into permanent possession of the
Spauding trophy cup. Collins who has
held the cup two years, lost to Neel as
challenger to-day in three straights,
6-4 6-3 and 6-9.
Neel played a net game. This probably
will be the champions last tournament
match, as he has his duties as mining en-
gineer, which hereafter will require his
presence in the mining districts Of Mexico.
