betting was % to to the favor of

there was no betting.
The 2:11 trot was much of a surprise
The choice was naturally the Michigan

trottd the three fastest heats of the
year. He sold for 20 against 10 for the
field.
In the first heat he went away on the
outside and trotted around his field in
a manner which presaged a victory

easily from Mary D. In the second
heat DR.. Strong led all the way, being

Yanger- Hanlon Meeting Fistic
Event of the Week.
Eddie Looks Best by Showing
Made Against Corbett.
ABOUT EVEN BATTLE.
San Francisco, of Course, FavOrs
CALIFORNIA; Son.
Yanger Getting Well Along in
Prize Fighting Years.

San Francisco, Sept. 29.-Tonight at
San Francisco. under the auspices of the
Hayes Valley Athletic club, Benny Yam
ger and Eddie Hanlon will decide which
is entitled to match with Young Cor
bett for the featherweight champion
ship. Hanlon, it will be remembered,
had one whirl at the champion and held
him to draw. Yanger holds a victory
over Corbett and has also fought him
draw. 1t must be said on behalf of the
champion that when he went down TO
defeat before Benny and also when he
held him to a draw he was far from
being the fighter he is at present.
He was an unknown quantity then,
with only a Denver reputation. so Han
Ions showing against him outshines
that of rangers. That is one way to
size up the fighting abilities of the pair,
and, figuring on that fight, Hanlon holds
the trump hand over the Chicagoan, But
cut out their respective contests with
Corbett and dope the coming fight on
their last battle, which resulted in a
draw, and it looks an even money pro-
position. San Franciscans. it appears,
see only one boy in the fight and that
is Hanlon, as the betting-10 to de
notes.
While Hanlon. in their judgment,
might win, he did~not show in his last
fight with Benny that he should be
top heavy favorite. Sentiment for the
native son" is strong in California, par
ticularly in San Francisco, and this I'M
doubtedly accounts for Eddie being so
strong a favorite. Taking their previous
contest as a line as to which will win
tonight then Benny should have a slight
call in the betting. He certainly had all
the better of the first half of the battle
and STAYED off defeat with a badly
sprained wrist in the last half.
There is no lodging the fact Hanlon
is a tough customer. He demonstrated
that when he fought Corbett. Still
there's no line as to how to gauge Yam
ger with Corbett Perhaps he would
show up equally as we'll against the
champion as did Hanlon. and on that
presumption it would still be even mon
ey and take your pick on the coming
battle.
There is this, however, in favor of the
California He is young at the game, as
compared with Benny. and his chances
of improving are therefore much better.
Yanger has probably got to the end of
his tether with regards to learning new
tricks. Both boys, according to reports,
are training hard and are in the pink
of condition and of course confident of
winning. Yanger declares he is on to
Hanlons style of fighting, and that he
will surely win with knockout. The
contest regardless of its outcome should
be a corker.

AT WASHINGTON.

Washington and Chicago brought the
season to a close here Monday with a
double header, which resulted in two vic
tories for Chicago. Washington, by fiuky
batting, scored five runs in the opening in
ming of the first game, but later, by poor
work in the field, permitted the visitors
to win the game. Loose fielding in the
second and some good batting by Chicago
gave them the second game.
