From the Start.

New York, June 23-Joe Walcott. the
colored welterweight boxer. was given
the decision over Dan Creedon, the
Australian middleweight. at the end of
hard fought twenty-round bout be-
fore the New Broadway Athletic club
tonight. Johnny White was the ref
cree
In the opening round Creedon led
stralght left. landing on the head, and
sent 1t back to the body. Walcott
hooked his left to the chin. A right
from Walcott put Dams eye in mourn
ing before the bell rang. Walcott
opened the second with left hook to
the eye, Dan shooting his right to the
BODY, following with a short left to the
race. Walcott left hooks to the Jaw
and right to the body, keeping Dan
moving around the ring. Walcott
came out strong in the third and drove
ms left straight to the mouth, but was
blocked cleverly when he tried his
right for the body. Walcott kept
pummelling his opponent rapidly, re-
celVlng occasional counters, which did
not seem to have any effect upon him.
In the sixth round a left smash from
Walcott sent the blot1 squirting from
Creedons right eye, and after Dan re-
ceiving a right and left on the body
he looked very tired. He came up in
the next round, looking strong, having
evidently fully recuperated- Walc,tt

wonderful rally in the fifteenth,
sending his right over three times to

He was on his feet again in second,
however, and both men laughed.
The nineteenth round found Walcott
forcing Dan all over the ring with lefts
to the body and rights to the head.
Dan fought back desperately, but his
blows lacked steam. When they shook
hands for the windup, Walcott rushed
and tried hard TO land a decisive blow,
but Creedon managed to evade him
cleverly.

Giant.

San Francisco, June 23.-Joe Ken
nedy of San Francisco was given the
decision over Gus Rubin in a twenty
round go this evening at Woodward's,
under the auspices of the Excelsior
Athletic club.
Kennedy had rather the best of the
opening rounds. He fought for the
head chiefly. while Rubin paid him
back with hard body punches. In the
seventh round Rubin began to warm
up and Kennedy appeared to be grow
ing weak. He braced up in the fif-
teenth round and administered some
severe punishment to his opponent. but
the sixteenth and seventeenth were all
Ruhlin's, and Kennedy seemed groggy.
The last three rounds were quite live
ly. Kennedy seemed to have recov-
cred himself, and he stood off Ruhlin's
rushes well. Referee Van Court gave
the decision to Kennedy, and it seemed
to meet the approval of the crowd.
Rubin was the favorite in the betting
at odds of to l. The Ohio man
weighed 100 pounds and Kennedy J95.

Denver, Colo, June 23.-At the Den

who halls from Cleveland, o., and is
sparring partner to kid Mccoy, put
out Patsy Corrigan of San Francisco
in the sixth round of what was Sched-
uled to be a twenty-round go. 1t was
smuggling match throughout and was
devoid of anything approaching science
Corrigan adopted rushing tactics from
the start and in the collision between
the men frequently both fell to the
floor. In the fourth round Payne
threw Corrigan through the ropes.
Payne was somewhat unruly when eau
toned by the referee against striking
his opponent low and hitting in the
clinches. which he frequently did, and

pounds the best of it in weight, but
McFadden made it interesting for him

Cycling.
SALT PALACE CYCLE TRACK
WILL BE COMPLETED IN AN
OTHER WEEK.
Work On Surfacing Commences To-
day-Committee of Wheelmen
Pronounce 1t Best In the West.

Yesterday afternoon President Mel
den of the Salt Palace committee,
Architect Kletting and his assistant,
together with a committee of wheel
men consisting of T o. Angel, A. w.
Game, F. Z. Schefski and c. A Emise
visited the Salt Palace track for the
purpose of discussing probable changes
TO be made in the structure before the
board surface was finally laid. The
Joists We're all up ready for the sur
face to be laid and the general contour
and shape of the track can be seen
from the framework which is now up.
John Lawson, the Terrible Swede,"
was present and pronounced the track
the best in appearance of any board
track which he had ever seen. He
stated that it had the widest stretches
and turns of any track on which he had
ridden and predicted that il would be
possible to get records on it without
trouble. There We're few changes
suggested as it was the general con-
sensus of opinion that the plans as
originally laid out by Mr.. Kletting with
the advise of Mr.. Angel could hardly
be improved upon. The work of laying
the surface will be commenced TODAY
and the superintendent said that the
track would be ready for the riders by
next Saturday night Some changes
were made in the plans for seating and
seats will be placed entirely around
the track. The dressing and rubbing
rooms for the racing men will be To-
Gated under the track and there will be
private run-ways for the men to use
in going from the training rooms to the
track. Shower baths for the racing
men viii be provided for. Along the
front of the track on the home stretch
,~..s,-
viii be the choicest seats from which
to view the races.
The committee of wheelmen We're
highly elated for it would seem from
present indications that Salt Lake is
to have a bicycle track second to none

AFF|DAVITs IN LEVY CASE
A. W. M'CUNE AND E. B. CRITCH-
Low MAKE STATEMENTS.
Latter Says He Was Informed By An
Attorney For Plaintiff That No
Judgment Could Be Secured.

In the case of William Levy against
A. w. McCune in the United States
court two affidavits were filed yester-
day. One was sworn to by T.. Il.
Critchlow, attorney for the defendant.
and the other by A. w. McCune. Mr..
Critchlow swore that he had read the
affidavits of w. a. Lee and stephen Cor
nell, heretofore filed. He said he was
ready for trial, and the case was set
for hearing at his request.
Mr.. Critchlow testified that he had a
conversation with one of the plaintiffs
attorneys, and the latter informed him
that he knew the case never would or
could result in any judgment in favor
of plaintiff. From this he inferred that
it was not the intention of the plain
tiff or his attorneys to appear at the
trial.
The lawyer further said that he had
met Mr.. Connell on the street several
times after the suit was set down for
trial, but never informed him of the
fact because he had no reason for be-
lieving that Mr.. Connell did not know
about it. Neither did he have any
knowledge that the plaintiff wanted to
see the defendant to secure his evil
dence or deposition.
Mr.. McCune swOre that he, too, had
and Council. He testified that the plain
tiff, Levy, is not now and has not been
for year last passed, a resident of the
state of New York, but that he is a
resident of Illinois. The defendant said
he had never had any conference, ne
gotiation or conversation with plaintiff
or Stephen Van Wyck or any other
person representing or purporting to
represent the plaintiff, regarding this
cause or any other matter. Neither
had any other person for him had such
a conversation He never expressed re-
greet at the commencement of the suit.
nor did he indicate in converse ton or
otherwise that he wished an amicable
adjustment He had at all times
claimed and still claims that the action
is without foundation or merit. Mr..
McCune, in conclusion, said he had at
all times been ready, anxious and will
ing for the case to come to trial.

FINISHED.
Evidence Was Concluded Yesterday.
and One Argument On Each Side
Made.

The Farnsworth case will go to the
jury by or before the noon adjourn
ment today. All of the evidence was
completed yesterday, and the argu-
ments were begun. Judge Dey made
the opening speech for the plaintiffs.
He presented the evidence for his side
in manner that showed he had his
case we'll in hand.
Senator Rawlins followed for the de-
Tense. The senator's talk was an able
effort He laid particular stress on
the evidence that went to show that
Farnsworth had acted in his own be-
half in the various purchases and not
as agent for the company. Senator
Rawlins also fOrcibly called the jury's
attention to Mr.. Farnsworth's offer to
give the Stokeses all they had paid for
the properties, if they were dissatisfied
with their bargains.
Court adjourned as soon as Senator
Rawlins had finished. John NJ Zane
will make the closing argument for the
defense on the opening of court this
morning, and Judge Street will close
for the plaintiffs.
