The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-12-02

Lake and the Butte Business college
team 1t was originally intended that
the Butte High school team should play
the kickers from Zion, but this fell
through for some reason and now ef-
forts are being made to substitute the
Business College team.
The Crescent Juniors and the silver
Bow Parks played on the flats ad1oin-
ing the Athletic park yesterday after
noon and the game resulted i'll tie OF
5 to 5. Additional series of challenges
will be the result of the draw.
1t required the united efforts of the
police and spectators to hold down the
belligerent players in the Centervlile-
Crescent football game at the Athletic
park yesterday afternoon.
At the last few minutes of the game
the players stopped trying for the ball
and went to fighting in earnest. The
trouble began when Fullback Rivet for
the Crescents landed a right hook on
'Spud' Murphy's nose. Policemen rushed
into the scrimmage and Officers Cassidy
and Buckley each emerged from the mix
up with prisoner. Immediately released.
When order was restored time had been
called and in consequence the game went
to the Centerville team by a score Of
16 to O. This was the lineup before the
fight:

| There are now good prospects Of {,
return battle between Bob Fitzsimmons
| and Jim Jeffres for the heavyweight
championship of the world. The kan
CARGO fighter still insists that he has not
gone back and is perfectly able to put
| up another championship battle.
All this is simply cold turkey for
Jeffries, who has expressed his delight
at the idea of FitZ again getting in
| front of his rib breaking punches.
1t has always been sore spot with
| Jeffries that Ftzsimmons has grudged
| the victory and proceeded on the tluke
| idea of you can't do it again" Jeffries
won the battle because he was the bet
| ter man and he has always insisted that
| FitZ should accept the result on such
grounds and not growl about fukes and
slips. In order to satisfy this break
; to his vanity Jeffries is more anxious
| to fight the Australian again than any
other man now within the champion S
| reach.
It is up to Fitz to showing whether
he is merely advertising as others have
done. or is in earnest now when he says
| another fight will be to his liking.

| Those who bet that Jim Jeffries would
win over Gus Rubin with Knockout
will be interested in the decision OF
Harry Corbett on this particular point
Ever since the contest there has beer
much discussion going on in sporting
circles regarding what constitutes &
knockout. 1t is surprising what diff.
ference OF opinion there is on the ques
| ton. Corbett received a telegram the
! nj
was asked to decide this point and hi.
| reply was: I'm reply to your message
l will say that when a mans second.
throw up the sponge in a glove contes
it is to save him from a knockout. Ir
