City and County Officers to Settle
Differences at Baseball.

On Saturday next the baseball cranks
of the city and county building will
run afoul of one another in a game for
the benefit of the family of Carl A.
Aamodt. who died recently When the
teams had their last meet a month or
more ago the game was very much the
city's, and the score was an appalling
one. but the county officers have been
putting their heads together since then
and they aver that with the team they
now have they can do up anything in
town. The city team will be almost
the same as the one which defeated the
county, and subsequently wiped up the
earth with the firemen and policemen.
The game will be played at the uni
versity campus on Saturday next. and
as 5000 tickets are to be sold a. hand
some sum should be realized for Mr..
Aamodt's family. Here is the lineup:

For Lightweight Honors.

Especial Correspondence;
Eureka, Utah, June I.-Young
Thomas, lightweight champion of
Utah, and Jerry Mccarthy of Butte,
Mont, have signed articles of agree
ment for fifteen-round fight, to be
held here on Friday, July 10, for a purse
of $500 and the entire CATER eceipts.
Each side has deposited 500 with J.
C. Sullivan, and the boys are both in
training. Thomas has won two fights
here with ease. and has a host of ad-
mirers. who believe that with the adj
vantage ne possesses in height and
reach, he will win handily. Mccarthy
and his friends. however, say that the
little Irishman will be the victor. The
sporting fraternity feels assured of get
ting its moneys worth. as both the
boys are determined to pull down the
money.
An effort will be made to run a spe-
cial train from Salt Lake over the Rio

Papa Smith is working with his usual
energy to secure a good programme
OF events for his meet the afternoon of
July at the Calder's park track The
programme of events for the Calder's
park races and Salt Palace races have
not yet been announced, but entry
blanks Will be out the latter part of
this week or the first of next and there
will be plenty of events for all the men,
Smith has signified his Willingness to
hang up a purse for the match race
between the Ogden and Salt Lake tan
dem teams, but final arrangements
have not yet been made and this event
may go to the Salt Palace track
There seems to be a feeling among
the promoters of track races that there
should be more events for professionals
and fewer amateur events. The only
difference between the two classes is
in the prizes given, the professionals
riding for cash and the amateurs for
prizes. The latter have been complain
ing of the character of prizes offered
and that they are not up to adyer-
tised value. Papa Smith says he would
prefer to have them ride for dollars and
then they will know what they are get
ting.
Several of the best riders in the anna
teur ranks have announced their in
tention to come out and race for cash
at the next meets and if there are only
a few of the amateur races and good
purses hung up for the professional
events it is probable that most of the
rest will also flop. The amateur races
are good for the purpose of giving am
bilious nOviceS a chance to try them
selves, but as soon as they find they
are speedy enough to continue the rae
ing game they should graduate into
the professional ranks.
John Ensign is among those who will
ride for cash. Samuelson intended to
turn pro. but was waiting for some of
the crack visitors to leave and give 10
cal riders a clear field, but as the lat
ter will probably remain for some time
the tempting cash prizes may prove too
much for his resolution
Patrons of the Salt Palace track who
attend the races on their wheels will
have their wheels cared for at the
grounds. Racks will be built for 500
wheels and riders can have their wheels
checked by attendants. AS the track is
so near the center of the city cyclists
will probably find it most convenient
to attend the races on their bikes.
The Herald will publish a percentage
table of Utah riders and it will be
figured on the points" plan as follows:
Winners of all open races will be given
five points, winners of second places,
three points, third place winners, two
points and riders finishing fourth one
point. There will be two tables. one
for professional riders and one for
amateurs.
In this table results of special match
races, class or handicap events will not
be counted. The Herald table will be
published whenever there is any i'm
portant change in the position of the
riders.
The following is the relative standing
of the Utah riders up to date.

In the third inning King had his first
finger of the right hand broken and he
had to leave the game Pat" Liddiard
took Kings place for the rest of the
game. At this accident the Provo boys
thought the visitors might crawl up
on them, but Pat" did surprisingly
well. King is considered the best
catcher in the state and the Provo
team has lost its best man for short
time.
There were only seven innings played
The r. G.. WIS made their runs in the

Goes a Fast Mile at the Denver
Track

Denver. Colo, June 17.-This was the
best day of the meeting at Overland
park. the crowd being immense and the
racing being very fine. Searchlight, the
fast California stallion, took the 2:05
pacing race and established a new rec
ord for the track and did it SO easily
as to justify the bookmakers in refus-
ing to put money against him.
Raymond NJ, who has been winner
at this meeting and w. w. P. who
holds the two-mile record, might, it was
claimed, have been distanced if Search
light had been urged. In the third
race 1 Don't Know took third money
after having been practically left at
the post. In the fourth Jockey Jackson
was knocked off Mountain Queen, but
escaped serious injury.
The betting was heavy, there being

lily played. The weather was warm and
