General Matters Of Interest
In the Merry World of Snort

, the time one enters the betting ring un-
til leaving. The game is the same old
one, and while it is almost nauSeating
to the wise ones it still serves to catch
suckers" There is an old saying that
a sucker is born every minute and
the touts seem to be the best posted as
to the proposition. They some lines make
mistakes but they more frequently land
their prey. Their work at the local
track is little coarse, however. and
business is consequently not a. brisk as
it should be.
Began Will Act as Referee.
Freddie BACON will in all proba bility
be selected to referee the bout between
Dummy" Rowan and Jack LaFontise
at Anaconda tonight. The fight
will take place in Turner hall and will
be at 20 rounds Two prelminaries will
complete the programme of the evening
Began gave entire satisfaction when Of
floating at the recent Rowan-Purcell
fight in Anaconda. He knows the game
thoroughly. having played at it a long
time. and is thoroughly conscientious;
two requisite qualities in a competent
referee
Dave Barry Popular Lad.
Dave Barry. who meets Nose La Fon-
tise in 20-round mill at the opera house
Monday night, is without doubt one Of
the most neat and gentlemanly appear
ing prize fighters seen in the west for
a long time. His regular and in fact
rather refined features. gentlemanly
bearing. and the taste displayed in his
dress are things one does not frequently
find in man who earns his living in
the fistic arena. Barry is popular little
chap and is sure to make many friends in
Butte.
Fast Bicycle Riders Signed.
Manager King of the Butte Athletic
Association last night received a tele-
gram from John Chapman at Salt Lake
announcing that he had signed the Tur-
vile brothers with their motor cycle and
several other fast riders for the local
saucer. The party will leave Salt Lake
for Butte tonight and will be on hand for
the races tomorrow night. The motor
cylce race between the Turville brothers
and Iver Lawson and Chapman will be
the feature of the evening.
Johnson's Hard Luck.
c. A. johnson, who owned Midsum-
mer the 4-year-old horse which dropped
dead from fright at the track yesterday,
says he felt he would never have good
luck with the animal. Johnson valued
the horse at $4,000 and turned down an
offer Of $500 jr t prior to coming to
Butte. He says the man who made the
offer followed him around for days beg
ging that the horse be sold him and that
friends urged the sale. after it was
all over" said johnson yesterday, II res

To Beat liver Lawson's Time,

The heavy ram fall of yesterday, so
thoroughly saturated the saucer track
the seats and in fact everything exposed,
that Manager King wisely concluded to
postpone the races until tonight, rather
than subject his patrons to any d:scom-
fort. Many supposng the inclement
weather would not interfere with the
sport. We're disappointed when arriving
at the sauce. they were informed of the
conditions existing and the postponement
made necessary by them.
If the weather permits tonight, the
card of last night will be run off. The
card is an excellent one and has as
chief feature. the attempt of Arte Bell
to lower the time ma lie Friday night, by
liver Lawson. for five miles. Lawsons
fastest time is 80 was equaled Sunday
night by Green. The English crack failed
on the five miles because the motor broke
down. Bel will not on'y attempt to beat
Lawson's best mile but will try to lower
the five mile tigu es of S:56. Bell will be
paced by the mo,or tandem, ridden by
John Nelson and liver Lawson.
