WHO WILL COME NExTa
Question Relative To- the Worlds
Champion Pugilist.

Now that Champion Jim Jeffries has
disposed OF Gustavus Rubin, or rather
now that the Akron Giant has pro-
claimed to the world that the title Is a
trine too big for his shoulders to car
ry, the question Is being discussed
among boxing enthusiasts. who will
come next?" Who Is there In the heavy
weight class who is able to cope with
the mighty California boIlermakerP He
has finally settled the aspirations of
James j. Corbett. Rubin and that

LocAL FooTBALL.
But Little Progress Has Been Made
This Year.

It was stated In these columns this
week that unless the local football man
ayers got together pretty soon and ac-
complished something, the game was
likely to receive serious set back this
year The public has manifested a
great deal Of interest In the game and
the prospects were for most success
full season until the players on two Of
the larger teams began 10 display a
spirit Of Indifference to practice and
work. Since the Y NJ, c. a. team met
with two defeats at the hands OF the
Denver Wheel Club boys, there has
been little or nothing doing In the
Christians camp, aud rumors have
been flying around thick and fast that
some Of the boys were dissatisfied and
wanted to throw up the sponge 80 TO
speak What reason they assign for
this condition of affairs Is not stated,
but II Is quite evident that II cannot be
laid at the doors OF Manager Porter
and his associates who are Interested
In the welfare Of the organization, They
have done all In their power TO make
the team successful and the prospects
were anything but dlscouraging. Can
II be possible that the big fellows from
Denver knocked the heart out OF them?
A couple Of defeats amount TO nothing,
and besides, to those who saw the
game here, II seemed that the locals
really gained a victory In holding their
big opponents down as well as they
did They were up against terrible
odds and no one seriously expected
them to yanquish the Denverites.
The National Cuard hoya started out
well equipped for a good run, but they
too have nearly fallen by the way side.
There was some talk during the week
Of selecting the best players from the
two teams and organizing an eleven
capable Of defending the honor OF the
Y. NJ. c, A. on the gridlron against any
team In the state. IL Is TO be hoped the
scheme will go through, as 1t would
prevent interest In the game from dy-
ing out entirely.

At the Bottom Of q Shaft.

What looks good deal like a serious
case was reported from No. 211 Ana
conda road, this morning. There is an
old shaft at the rear Of the property,
which has been used as vault. This
morning blood was found around and in
the vault. enough to raise grave sus-
picions. The family reported the case to
the sanitary police, who made a partial
Investigation. 1t might he no more than
q dog, or some other small animal that
had lost its life, hut the supposition is
a helpless newborn infant will be found
at the bottom OF the shaft.
The matter was turned over to the
county attorney. w.lc will doubtless order
o. close investigation, as 1t is a county
case. The city health department was
not prepared at the time Of it's visit to
make the investigation necessary in the
case. Besides. it is a criminal matter,
If it is anything out of the way, and the
county will have 1t to care for.
