Il intend to stop in this city for d
while, and will make every effort to get
on with the big fellow. as I think l
can reverse the decision he once got
over me-"

weight championship of the Pacific,
and Martin Denny, champion of Aus
tralia, have been matched to fight
twenty rounds before the Nonparel
Athletic club at Spokane. Aug. 20, the
winner to claim the Pacific coast right
for d contest with Frank Erne for the
lightweight championship. The men
fought a twenty-rOund draw at Grand
Forks, B. c., July ,. 4 permit for the
contest has been given.
James J. Jeffries will not fight Shar-
key, as has been reported in the east
In fact, for the immediate present,
Jeffries is fight free. He is resting at
Hardin Springs, Cal. Replying to the
report that he and the sailor would
meet inside the ropes in September.
Jeffries had the following to say: NO;
I viii not fight Sharkey on Sept. 9. In
deed / have not heard from him what
ever since I have been at the Springs
If 1 have my way 1 will fight either
Rubin or FitzsimmOns at San Fran

Harvard and Yale at Berkeley Oval,
New York City, in the international
varsity track and field sports on Sept.
p, will sail from England the last of
this week On Sept. Il the English
team will meet the Canadian colleges

The makeup of the team is largely
Cambridge, and the following men
from that university VIII compete
against Harvard and Yale: A E
Hind, president of the Cambridge team,
and J. Churchill in the 100 yards; r.
W. Barclay in the quarter mile: H w
Workman and J. Gilman in the half
mile; T. @. COckshort, w. H. GregsOn
and J. w. Cawthra in the mile; Work
man and J. G. Macnaughten in the
two miles; E. Alcock in the 100-yard
hurdles; G. L. Smith in his high jump
H A. Jones in the long jump, and Is
G. Hartley in the hammer throw
The nine events are precisely the
same as those on the card when HaT-
ward and Yale went to London in 1899
except that out of Difference to tbs
mile run has been cut down to two
Workman, the Cambridge champion, is
supposed to have this event completely
at his mercy
On form and record Harvard and
Yale should win the hurdle, hammer
running broad jump and running high
jump, and the EngliShmen the half
mile and twO-mile runs. This would
leave the 100 and 40 yards in doubt
and leave room for plenty of specula-
ton.

the professional career of Harry y
Pillsbury native and former resident
of Somerville, Mass-) as a chess player

Before that happens. however. some
important events are 4--.ely TO take
place, not the least of which will be Z

world with Lasher.
