Hammond looks to be promising

an ideal weight for a back and should be

The aggregation will have to be a
strong one TO be successful against the
teams which they will play this season.
From reports which are heard about the
university team at Bozcman it is quite
likely that the college men will have
the strongest team ii their athletic his

CORCORAN CANNOT
MEET SCHNEIDER
LOCAL SPRlNTER UNABLE TO RACE
BILLINGS IDOL BEFORE THE
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS.

Pat Corcoran announces that he will
not allow sprinting to interfere with his
school work and in consequence he will be
obliged to pass up the opportunity of win
ming $1,000, which is the sum the hackers
of Schneider of Billings offered to place on
their man against the sprinter who won
renown on the cnder path for Notre Dame
in the Middle West.
Corcoran says that he received a chal-
lenge from the Billings people, but that
he cannot entertain any proposition to en-
gage in foot race while he is teaching
school, He says that if they will have
patience until the holidays he will gladly
accept the def of their idol.
Schneider, it is said, can do 100 Yards
In 10 seconds, but this figure would hardly
beat Corcoran, who has gone notch below
this mark when pushed hard.
Some of the sports have been looking
about for Dundon to match him against
Schneider, but as he mysteriously disap-
peared shortly after his race with Cor
coran it is out of the question to consider
him as probable opponent for Schneider

HOWARD OP|E HAS
GOOD HARD PUNCH
SAM MARTIN THINKS HE Is JUST
THE LAD TO BLOCK CLIFFORD
-PROMlSlNG CAREER.

Sam Martin clings persistcntly to the
opinion that Howard Opic has punch
that will suddenly blight the promising
career OF Jack Clifford and still stand:
ready to back his man to the extent Of
$1,000.
Opie ought to have good chance with
Clifford, as he has trained with Dal
Hawkins for long time and should
know considerable about the fighting
game on this account. 1t is thought that
he is fully as strong as the conqueror Of
his pal and that his close association
with Hawkins will show him much more
clever than when he last made an ap-
pearance in the ring.
He is two-handed fighter, is as burly
and as fierce in the ring as Sharkey
when he parted company with his brother
tars and can surely raise as much Grim
son on an opponents cuticle as Jack
Clifford.
If this match is made it is quite likely
that Hawkins will remain long enough
to put Opie in condition. As Opie has
strength enough to go any distance it
is thought his recently acquired clevcrncss
would at least give him a decision over
Clifford, as he could easily step inside
or out of range of the wicked swings
which Clifford uses almost entirely in
his milling.

Cy Young as Good as Ever.

Cy Young, the veteran baseball pitcher
this year with the Boston American league
team, is this year keeping up his splendid
record. A week ago last Sunday he reached
his thirtieth victory, bringing him within
one Of his wonderful record of 1901.
In that season he was the only pitcher to
achieve 80 victories, and there is no doubt
that he will be the only pitcher in the land
to reach 80 this year.
In his last three games he has given but
one base on balls in ID games this season
he has given no bases on balls, and in II
contests he has given but one. Thus his
record is even superior to the phenomenal
showing of 1901. with clubs to pitch
against that are stronger than those of
last season.
The estimation in which he is held is
shown by the fact that he has been offered
$4,000 to pitch for the Boston National
league team next season.
The Butte inter mountain., 1902-09-22

There is every reason to expect that
Butte will be represented by a strong foot
ball team this season, as the material will
be nearly as good as in former years
when the teams of this city were recog-
nzed as the strongest in the West.
A small number Of candidates reported
at Columbia Gardens yesterday for the
first practice but there was little done
outside of punting the ball about the field
There will be more work this afternoon
when there will be probably more than a
dozen men on the field.
The work for the next few days will
be very light, so that the players will
not suffer too much from the lamencss
which is incidental TO the opening OF the
season Jack Mahoney, who will probably
coach the team this season, will practice
the candidates in starting and falling on
the ball until they are hardened enough
for the more severe work OF the game.
AS the men are determined to get into
shape as quickly as possible, they will
train strictly so that they will have plenty
Of strength and endurance for the opening
game.
Among the candidates who INDUCED in
the practice yesterday were ktto the old
center who yesterday showed an avoir
dupois which ought to reach the ago
pound mark Lepoint, who is after place
behind the line, and Adams who gained
envable distinction as a member Of the
backfeld for Notre Dame a few years
ago.
kitto For Center.
ktto will undoubtedly have no oppo
nent at center. as there is no player in
Butte who is able 10 buck him with any
success. kitto is endowed with great
strength, is quick on his feet for heavy
man, and has not an equal in the West IN
breaking through the line.
Adams did nothing yesterday which
would serve TO give fair line on his work
He is well built. has that nervous action
on the gridiron which generally charac-
terizcs the man who is as quick as light
ming to plunge through the most formida-
bic line, and i'll general seems TO be III
possession OF all the points necessary TO
the playing Of good back.
AS Coaches Mcintosh and Mahoncy ARE
OF the opinion that il will be best to play
an open game and because Of the heavy
teams which the local men will play. the
puntig OF Adams will be extremely valu-
bic. He can boot the leather well. and if
he shows that he is steady in getting his
kicks away, the team may depend on him
to do much Of the ground gaining in this
way. The West is not especially strong
on good puntcrs. and il Adams makes
good, as his friends expect he will Butte
ought to win the majority OF their games.
or course, he will have to depend much
on line that will hold for him, but as
there is every promise that the line will
be weighty and strong there should be
little TO worry about on this point.

Wants Chance at Gardner.

Jack Johnson, the clever lightweight of
San Francisco, is after battle with George
Gardner.
Johnson's manager, GARLIC, says that il
Gardner is looking for fight he can
accommodate him with Jack Johnson,
champion heavyweight of the coast, win
ner take all, if he wants also fer a side
bet from $1,000 to $a,5oo.
''If Gardner is sincere and wants to
make match, he will surely accept my
proposition" said Carrillo.
81 will fight him anywhere and before any
club offering the best inducements, and l
think the clubs can save railroad fare, in
stead of bringing old-tmers from the East,
and also won't insist on a guarantee.
Now, il Mr.. Gardner does not accept
this challenge, | am willing to match
Johnson with anybody, and before any
club, and ask no questions, excepting | will

[spEcrAL TO INTER MouNTAIN.]

Seattle, Sept. 22.-One of the largest
crowds that has turned out to see ball
game this season witnessed the final game
OF the series between Butte and Seattle
yesterday. 1t was not a model exhibi-
ton OF the national game and the large
crowd which was lined around the field
made it necessary to adopt certain ground
rules which naturally handicapped the
play Each side made enough errors to
last two or three days, but the fielding of
the visitors was decidedly off.
Stovall was in the box for Seattle and
was invincible at all stages of the game.
Two hita was all the Butte batters could
get off his delivery
Roach undertook to do the twirling
act for the visitors and gave a good
account of himself, but the support ac-
corded him by McCloskey's men was not
OF the best and would have lost game
for any pitcher with the opposition play
ing anything like real ball. Seattle hit
Roach safely only eight times and were
fortunate in driving the ball into the
crowd.
Butte FieIded Poorly.
Dixey Knox in left field made rank
error and several slow plays. Roach and
LedIlOSs diul ScefH 10 pun Well To-
gether and once when they were in
little friendly dispute brennan and Dali
rymplc executed double steal.
Seattle started the fun in the opening
inning. Hulen led off with double and
reached the plate on a couple of out
field outs. In the third the home team
scored another run on Stovalls double
and single by Babbitt
In the sixth the sugging done by the
Seattle batters was enough to send the
cold shivers running down the back of
the most Indifferent Butte fan. Stovall
opened with single and reached second
on Hulen's sacrifice. Babbitt was hit By
a pitched ball. Schwartz singled and
Roach was up in the air and gave base
on balls. An error by Kane aided mat
ters considerably and Roach and Zearfoss'

rymple pulled off their double steal with

case it would be easy money for Fitz.
Corbett Is WilIinu.

According to telegram received at the
New York Evening Journal the other day,
Jim Corbett stated that after his contest
with Jeffries he would be willing to meet
Fitzsimmons again. The telegram was
sent from Bayside, L. J., and was signed
James ]. Corbett.
This would seem to indicate that two
good heavyweight battles are destined to
come off at no distant date Even should
Corbett be defeated by Jeffries again still
a battle with the lanky Cornishman would
prove no mean drawing card and should
certainly prove, of the two, the more inter-
esting bout.

Victory for LabOr.

Leaders of organized labor claim a
big victory in a favorable report re-
ceived from the House committee on
judiciary on the Grosvenor bill to limit
the meaning of the word conspiracy
and the use of restraining orders and
injunctions in certain cases.
The bill provides that no agreement,
combination or contract to do or to
procure to be done, or not to do or pro-
cure to be done, any act on contempla-
tion or furtherance of any trade dis
pute between employers or employees
shall be deemed criminal, nor shall
those engaged therein be indictable for
the crimes Of conspiracy, if such act
committed by one person would not De
punishable as a crime, nor shall such
agreement, combination or contract be
considered as in restraint of trade or
commerce, nor shall any restraining
order or Injunction be issued with re-
lation thereto.
II enacted into law the bill, in the
opinion of labor leaders, will vastly
strengthen organized labor, and stop
the abuse of Injunction and restraining
proceedings. 1t gives trade organiza-
tions the right to do whatever an in
dividual may do under the law.

Stamps Sent from All Lands.

In the postoffice department there Is
q book that is always kept under lock

ured articles In the department. This
book contains a set of postage stamps
of every country in the world. These
stamps come from Berne. Switzerland.
Seven hundred and fifty sets Of each
United States postage issue are also
distributed from that point. Each
country comprising the international
postal union when a new issue Of
ssamps is out sends a certain number
of sets to Berne. The officials at that
point then distribute the stamps to
the different postoffice departments
throughout the world.

Steel Workers Stirred Up.

Rumors are again rife that new
national union of iro1 and steel work
ers is about to be formed, and that
organizers of the Steel Workers AS
sociation Of America, which is the
name of the new body, are gathering
recruits in the Ohio. Indiana and IL
linois field. The organization, it is
said, had it's origin in the detection
of the South Chicago and Milwaukee
steel workers from the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers
during the steel strike last summer.
At that time the steel workers in these
two cities refused to obey the order
OF PreSident Shaffer to go on strike,
contending that they had made a wage
scale and agreements with their en-
ployers previous to the PRONUNCIATION
of that order, and no provisions were
made in it for a sympathetic strike.
Unions Of steel workers in South
Chicago and Milwaukee have been
kept intact, and 1t is now proposed
to build up a national organization
from the members of these lodges and
others which objected to the strike.
None of the lodges which refused to
go on strike when ordered will be al

OF the steel workers which meets in
Wheeling, w. Va, in May.

Mans Great Joke.

One great joke that man has on
woman all the time is the way she runs
her meetings. Man goes out to a ward
association and finds out that If a
person can shout loud enough he can
always rise to point or order and
thus interrupt the proceedings. After
that, man knows all about 1t with
out needing to acquire the unimpor-
tant Information that Cushings man
ual amt an almanac, but book of
rules. He can then sit and read the
paper and chuckle over Sorosis and
other affairs until his wife breaks into
violent sobs. No self-respecting man
ever condescends to thus joke without
referring to hen parties. This is a del
icate and subtle form of irony that
shows not only that woman is mans
inferior, but also that woman Is much
better off in the home circle, where she
is not exposed to insults as she would
be if she went out to vote.-New York
Times.
