AMONG SPORTS.

A
Little George Lixon has now formally
taken his place among the has-beens
When the colored marvel was beaten
on Tuesday last by a man of Tommy
S%ullivan's calibre he was permanently
retired.
Peter Makers victory over poor old
Steve O'Donnell has not won the Irish
Ghampeen'' any new friends. 1t was like
finding money to beat Steve. But any
way, ON the strength of it, Peter talks of
going up against some of the big fellows
again. Peter is entitled to one more
good beating before he retires to the
'champeen's rest"
Wyatt carp. the famous Arizona gun
fighter, who stole a fight from Fitzslm-
mons in San Francisco when Bob put
Tom Sharkey where he belonged, is now
at Cape Nome, and on June 80 was shot
in the arm by a visitor to his saloon and
gambling house. In addition to this, the
military authorities threw carp in Jail
and let the other fellow go, as 1T was
evident the latter acted in self-defense
carp is we'll known in Butte and has ref
creed several contests in this section, one
being the Williams Morrissy fight at
Ogden.
Since Terry MeGovern's victory over
Frank Erne, the authorities, including
Macon, are inclined ito award him me
palm as the greatest champion the world
has ever seen. He has never los a bat
tile and out of all he has fought only
three WprQ nVa US yEti1a ip. ftx1,n mo g3a.
cisions We're given and the fouls are a
stnd-off. Out of 81 battles won he has
gained 80 k~nockouts. Twenty-six of the
30 k~nockouts werein less than IL rounds.
He has Won four championships. The
bantam weight from Casper Leon. feath-
erweight from George Dixon and the
~12S-pound championship from Tommy
White. He won the championship of
England from Pedlar Palmer.
The Forthcoming fight between Kid
Mccoy n Jim Corbett promises to be
THE most wonderful exhibition of pugil-
istic science III world has ever seen.
Mccoy has kept right on improving Of
late, while Corbett has astonished every
one by getting back into his old form
so completely that he came within an
ace of beating Jim Jeffries not many
months 6 The only equal Corbett has
ever had for speed, science and general
ship is Mccoy. The latter is consider
dply IlSIlLeF LIIdN tine eX-cld1lp1On, OUT
it is conceded that he is a harder hitter.
The fight will take place ON August 80
before the Twentieth Century club, the
winner to take 70 per cent. and the loser
80 per cent. The majority of the Butte
sports rather avo Corbett at this time,
owing to his great showing against JEFF
fries.
Jockey Dick Crowhurst, a Newport,
KY, boy, is fast nearing the top of the
jockeyship ladder. He has dome excep-
tionally we'll at the race meeting now
The following appeared in print a few
days ago in a st. Louis paper
1t is said Jockey Crowhurst won 81, 900
on his victory over Guide Rock Friday.
Befare the race r. Johnson, who owns
Guide Rock, and C1owhurst came to-
gether in the paddock.
II think Guide Rock can win this
race" said the jockey.
Il know he cam" said the owner, "ard
he will win 1T If you ride him just as {
tell you"
"How's that?' asked Crowhust.
Never draw your bat on him fro n
start to finish. Just sit o n his back, ta' e
a good hold of his head and let him co
the rest. If o hit him once he'll gu
unde you n you won't have a chance"
After this conversation Crowhurst or
dered one of his friends to back the hor q
