The Walkerville Pet takes excellent
J care of himself and is ready at weeks
notice to step into the ring. He takes
mile jog every morning before break

What pity that city the size of
Butte hasn't got representative foot
ball team. 1t gives outlying towns
bad impression Of our town to have little
teams scarcely as strong as high school
aggregations representing us. What a
big advertisement it would be for this
city if we had team like the old team
of 'o5 and 'o6. The team could make
a special TRIP down into California and
play Stanford and Berkeley on the same
tour OF course it's too late to organize
now, but it's not too early to begin or
ganzing for next year and il the right
people would take the matter in hand
Butte would have an invincible gridiron
aggregation next season.

N'ptatNuiy nave ncaTu the matter
discussed whether there would be a meet
ing OF the Butte Baseball association to
hear the report Of the different officers
and the statement Of Manager McClos-
key. So far as ! can ascertain there's
no meeting contemplated as a formal af-
fair by President Lane.
We've got too few stockholders" said
the president. to bother with any formal
meetings and annual reports. We know
Just what has been done and McCloskey's
statement is there to show his end of
it and the books will show mine. so

one man had a few things to say him

next year and it may be a judicial talk

Dick Lewis writes me that he wants
to come to Butte and fight any of the
lightweight division, Dal Hawkins pre-
ferred.
The colored boy says he is now the
colored lightweight champion of the
Northwest and willing to get at any of
them. His match with Queenan to have
Deen pulled oil October 9, failed to mater
iaize and the Spokane Amateur Athletic
club has open dates for Richard now.
In view of the fact that Hawkins is
in Europe don't see much for
Lewis in this neck of the woods at
present excepting the always present
Doc Flynn. Flynn and Lewis would
draw good crowd and it may be that
a match can be arranged for

notice the Butte coursers PLAYED in
hard luck in winning out on the rounds
at St. Louis Saturday for the Waterloo
cup stakes. Some of the best dogs were
defeated and it looks as il only the
speedy coursers from here would be able
to show near the finals.
J. L. Hoskins' The Raider. was defeat
ed in the first round King Cashier,
Scotch Reel Dexter B. and Confidence
scored in the first run and Chico was de-
feated.
In the second round all OF the dogs
named above went down to defeat and
the hopes Of Butte owners for representa-
ton followed to the dust.
There was the full limit of Ga dogs
composing the cracks from all over the
country The field was heavy and rough
and the runs were all long. Only two
rounds were run Saturday.
