viii Be a Race.

New York, Aug. 22.-A true. clean con-
test which can leave no doubt OF supe-
riority, such as nulSy winds permit.
should result today In the race between
Reliance and Shamrock III for the prize
which 80 long has been coveted by Eng
llsh yachtsmen. The wind at a. m. blew
steadily out OF the west-southwest at q
rate OF from 5 to 10 knots. and from a
perfectly cioudiess sky. There was every
indication that the matchless yachts rep
resenting two nations would sail An
shed race. The breeze. which had died
down somewhat during the night. had
shifted to the south OF west and in
creased in strength as the sun rose. A
perfect day broke, and the air was dry
and COOL with no Indications Of re-
turn OF the snltry conditions which pre-
vailed mt the same time on Thursday.
The sea still had somewhat OF a roll.
and there was not a little surf breaking
along the Jersey shore. The wind was
strong enough to send along coastine
vessels at a lively rate. Some Of the lit
tie fishing vessels, anticipating Increased
wind before the day was over, had one
or two reefs In their mainsalls.

Cans Draws Color Line

Champion boxers are somewhat like
operate stars. They have their own
peculiarities, and are almost as hard
to handle as a fretful child. Probably
the queerest notion ever taken by a
star of the boxing ring is the latest
within of Lightweight Champion Joe
Cans. Cans, as everyone posted on
boxing knows, is a negro. He has
fought his way to the top of the pugIl-
istic ladder and is the undoubted light
weight champion of the world. Up
to the present time all fighters in his
class looked alike to him. and he would
fight anyone who could show sufficient
financial inducements. But now,
strange to say, Cans is drawing the
color line and does not care to box
negro fighters if he can get out of 1t.
In making some matches recently
Cans was asked to box colored light
weights, but he stated his preference
for meeting white men. This stand Of
the Baltimore negro was somewhat of
surprise to the local matchmakerr.
as it was an entirely new idea. An
other well known colored boxer, who
got this same idea into his head some
time ago, thought he was coming
champion lightweight, and expressed
desire to meet only white boxers.
He beat a number of white men, and
the future seemed rather rosy to him,
but, unfortunately, man of his own
color broke two of his ribs in recent
encounter, and temporarily put him
on the retired list.-Phladelphia Rec

SAUER BAWL
MEETS A
FEAT

The Occur d'Alene club alleys were
the scene last night of a splendid con-
test between the teams representing
the Sauer Bawls of the Spokane ANA
teur Athletic club and .!ie Nelson's Of
the Occur d'Alene alleys. A large
crowd watched the game and urged on
their favorite bowlers. BY winning
the game against the bold, bad Sauer
Bawls last night the Nelson's are now
the undisputed champions of the city,
for a while at least They won all
three games played with a good score
and plenty of pins ahead of the Sauer
fellows. The high score of the evening
was 223, which was made by two OF the
Nelsons-Dvorak in the second and
Huber in the third.
For the Sauer Bawls Reynolds cap
tured the high total of 500, Rothrock
falling down on his usual score and
following second with 40 to his credit.
The bowling of the Sauer Bawls was
very Indifferent, and it is recommended
that they try the strychnine treatment
of pretty Trixie Friganza.

TELLS TALE
ON THE
DOG

| Harry Baer, Peter Mertz. Walter
Ritteger ard Charles Williams have re
turned from two weeks hunting trip
to the wilds of Harvey creek. 80 miles
from Spokane, and % miles due north
of Blue creek. The trip to and from
Harvey creek was made by wagon two
days being taken up each way.
All kinds of game was seen by the
hunters and the state that the feath-
cred tribe is simply thick in those
parts.
Rabbits are also plentiful-the big
foot snowshoe variety that make a
sound when running like the pound
ing of racohorse on the turf.
The sports tell some thrilling stories
of the trip and the following by Harry
Baer is where they tried it on the
dog"
1T was on our return trip that IA
very peculiar thing happened1vthe
wagon ran away with our party and
also with the horses That sounds
queer, don't it? Well, you, see, we
were coming down off one of those
mountains up there where they slant
backward. when the brake shoes gave
out and the wagon steadily forced the
horses into trot. then a gallop, ami
then they just simply slid down off
that hill.
"If it had been a quarter of a
mile longer | don't know what would
have happened. AT the bottom. too,
there was something doing. Coming
at that rate was just like being shot
out of cannon. and. of course. at
the bottom we had to hit a corduroy
bridge with a particularly high log
first We hit it with bump that
nearly threw myself and Mertz over
the dashboard.
"Now. the logs the thing that male
a hit with us. but the best of the story
is one on the dog-Curly, owned by
George Blakesley
"Nhen we hit the log Curly was
tossed high in the air. Fortunately,
he landed in the creek, for he came
down fiat on his back. There he was
in the creek with all tours protruding.
I'll never forget the lcok on that dogs
face. lie was certainly disguised with
us We felt sorry for the poor fell
low. all right, but one cannot help
laughing about it--fact is, we laughed
for about two miles.
For the balance of the trip the dog
refused to make up with any of the
party. The look on his face was human
and You could almost imagine him
saying You fellows can go to thur
der before I'll work my feet sore for
You again

CASH PRIZE
AT THE
ALLEY

Great sport is in store for the bowl
ing enthusiasts who visit the Occur
dAlene alleys tonight. 1t is something
out of the ordinary in this city, too.
Cash prizes have been hung up for
the best scores of the evening. The
scores are all to be rolled between
the hours of and 10, and if in that
time some of the high scores made in
this city during the past seasons since
bowling became the craze here, are
not ali shattered TO pieces, they will
be so badly cracked that the restora-
ton stunt OF Dowie the Elijah IL. in
New York, for bust won't be in
the money.
Daring the past few weeks Spokane
has been developing a grlst of bowlers
who can roll with the best of those
in the country. OF course none there
are who can be styled exactly "phe-
noms," but alongside the general run
of bowling talent in the west they will
show up well.
Several scores have been run well up
over the 200 mark in the past few
weeks, and that is saying a good deal
for the lads who persist in the game.
1t is now nothing to see the men cut
ting close onto this mark.
With the installation of the four
more new alleys in the Occur d Alene,
the game here will receive very great
boost-if a boost any higher than now
is possible. Most everyone bowls now
and when those new alleys are done
every mothers son will be hard a
sweating and rolling and also expert
encing that strange and eXcruciatlng
feeling which of late has been the
prevailing malady here, "sore thumb"
Owney Patton, manager of these al
leys, is as busy lately as the boss
Turk and Jabour of carnival fame,
With two sets of alleys on his hands,
his dream will be one continual rum
bic, smash and thump. But he'll get
used to it. for anyone who can sue
cessfully score baseball for an entire
season and do a stunt occasionally with
the umpire's indicator, is equal to al
most anything.
The following are the rules and prizes
which will be the card tonight:
IL must be distinctly understood that
one or more pins must be knocked
down in each of the last two frames.
List of prizes-For an even score of
100, S5 even score of $50, S.; even
score of 200, $3.50; and for a score of
$50 or over $40.
At the 3. A. A. G. Alleys.
When the two alleys of the Spokane
Amateur Athletic club are thoroughly
repaired the playing of the club mem
bers will again be given much more
attention than in the past few days.
The club in the past months has devel-
oped some fine players and they are
anxious to once more get down and
do the real thing on those alleys. They
are also looking forward with much
interest TO the time when their new
building will be completed so they
can do turn on those alleys. As per
the plans they are about the best in
this part of the country.

IS KNOCKED
DOWN BY /
BUNNY

The best laid plans of two sports
ment went wrong in the wilds of the
Harvey creek mountains last week, and
the story has just now leaked out
The particular mountains where the
two bold nimrods went to do their
shooting of the fcathered game lie
about 20 miles from the town OF
Springdale and for ruggedness they
take the oyster chaser for sure. OF
course the two returned sports tell
a few bear stories that look nifty
enough, but the real big story, they
tell only to their most intimate friends
with the understanding that not for
the world does it go any further. No,
sir.
But, like a whole lot of other things
which are meant to be kept secret,
they will leak out, and then a campaign
is started to find the leak. Here is
the denouement:
The two bold and piratical men
started out early one evening intent
on Staying some of the feathcred tribe,
when they came out of the willows
and bunchgrass to take a nightcap in
the shape of some unwary worm that

"a choice little bug wouldn't go bad,

The two nimble nimrods who had
started out with the intention of max

the Turks look like sham battle,
cast around for scent of these feath-
cred birds and at the same time with
the fast approaching dusk they didn't
mind keeping an eye out for bruin. for

be quite so pleasant as engaging him

WITH THE
DOPE AT
FRISCO

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 30-River
Pirate. the colt which L. y. Bell paid
somewhere in the neighborhood of
$4,000 for last Monday, is now SO lame
that his usefulness for the present is
gone and his injuries may result in his
permanent retirement. The colt pulled
up all right after his race on Monday
run only a few hours after his pur-
chase by Mr.. Bell--and showed no
sign of lameness while being cooled out
at the track. The trouble was not APP
parent until after the horse had been
retired to his quarters at Sheepshead
Bay track. Late in the afternoon it
was discovered that River Pirate was
very lame. His injuries were in the
hook of the right hind leg. The going
wrong of River Pirate is but another
chapter in the i'll luck that has pur-
sued the racing operations of Mr.. Bell
this season.
Walter Jennings has one Of the big
gest strings at Emeryville track and it
keeps him busy galloping and getting
the So in condition. All his horses
are doing well and indications are that
he should win many a purse here this
season. What he is mostly interested
in just now is in getting = jockey from
the east to ride his horses and the
chances are that the colored jockey,
Hicks. will come here and ride in the
red and white stripes after the season
closes there. The colored boy has BEEN
riding with great success and is said
by well known judges that he will be
another Isaac Murphy.
The Pleasance stable lost the clever
filly, Yo San. last week. Ho San was
entered to be sold for $1,000. and the
oldtime jockey. Sam Doggett. who was
represented in the race by Hydrangea,
claimed her for $4,000.
"Surely he will ride again. said DR..
Waters in speaking of the report that
Chuctanunda might be seen with the
colors up next year. at is only
question of whether the Messrs. San
ford want him to race. DR.. Childs,
who has the care of the horse at Sara
toga has been exercising him and we
may yet see what we hoped to see
this year-a record mile to the credit
of Chuctanunda The Sanfords may,
however. prefer to retire him without
taking any more chances of breaking
him down
C. c. McCaFerty bid Eda Riley up
from 5000 TO $1,000 and bought her at
that price at Worth last week. He also
claimed Alfred c.. who formerly IAN

same race. for $1,000

resigned
Mr.. Friese was secretary of the old
Milwaukee club of the Western league
in 1890, 9l, '92, when Milwaukee was
taken into the American association
and Cincinnati dropped out.
Frese has many strong friends
around the circuit and they are work

newspaper man to head the association.
Frese has been writing baseball since
1884, and also knows the business end.
