THE COMING FIGHT.

The sporting element of this city
IS keyed up to a high pitch over the
coming fight Thursday evening be-
tween kid" Fredericks and Dude"
Lewis, the clever colored boxer who
has already fought two draws with
the kid" Both Fredericks and
Lewis money is plentiful, the long
end going on the Buffalo boy.
The training of the two men is
much the same. Fredericks prefers
longer roadwork than the darby and
pays closer attention to shadow
fighting and rope-skipping. On the
other hand, the dude" is making
every effort to develop a guard for
his stomach that the kid can not
get on the inside of and puts in more
time with the gloves. His trainers,
Jim Tracey and Joe Fitzgerald, make
him work hard and when he faces
Fredericks on Thursday night for the
third time he will be In the best
shape possible.
Both the principals are Of the
opinion that the fight will be short
and each are equally confident of vic
tory. The winner of the bout. has an
excellent opportunity TO match with
Perry Queenan.
Four preliminaries have been ar
ranged. Ed Barry and Jim Burrows,
middleweight. are down for the first
bout. Harry Jones will again make
his appearance before a Spokane audi.

SOUTHPAW WALKER
IS THE BIGGEST MAN
IN BASE BALL.

CLEVELAND, April I'm latitude,
longitude and avoirdupois Pitcher Ed.
Walker, the Cleveland recruit from
the Hartford Comm team, is the
biggest southpaw in captivity" A
dozen local fans who have followed
the history Of the game from its
birth say that he is the largest man
that ever essayed to stay in fast
company.
Walker stands 6 feet in his hos
ferry, and he weighs 230 pounds. He
is broader than Amos Rusie, taller
than Scissors" Foutz and has a hand
as big as a ham. His teammates have
dubbed him 1.-The mastadon."
He is a coal miner by trade and
the story goes that whenever Walker
got short of dynamite for blasting
he would walk up to the vein of coal,
hit it swipe with his fist, wrap his
fingers around anywhere from BUSH
81 to a ton of it and toss it up the
shaft.
In action the wave of his arms re-
semble the gyrations of the Dutch
windmills. Walker is doing good
work in preliminary practice.
He has tremendous speed could
work all day without getting tired
and covers ground remarkably well
for so big a man, but his batting
average is about $50.

CHANGES IN GOLF.

For some time past the golfers of
the country have been discussing the
question of eliminating the qualify
ing round at medal play from the
amateur championships. The conten-
ton is that the two styles of play
are so different that it is unfair to
include both styles in n championship
tournament. 1t is a fact well known
to all golfers that many players who
can make excellent medal scores are
weak in match play, while the strong
est men in match play often make
mediocre medal scores. This fire.
quently results In some Of the best
men failing to qualify. The same
question is being discussed with re-
gard to the Pacific northwest cham
pionship tournaments, but it is felt
by many players that medal play I'M
der the present conditions of the
tournament is a necessity

Supt. Kennedy
Has Narrow Escape

II. A. Kennedy, general superin-
tendent of the western district of the
Great Northern, escaped death by a
hairs breadth at Jennings, Mont,
yesterday. His car was set out at
Jennings by train No. / and it did not
quite clear the main line. The fast
express, No. 2. eastbound, running so
miles per hour, dashed into the car,
splitting it In two, throwing one por-
tion under the passing train, which
caught the smoking car of No. 2,
turning over the smoker and follow
ing coach. Kennedy's car and two
coaches took fire and were completely
destroyed. Some of the passengers
were slightly injured.
Kennedy, the stenographer and
porter were asleep in the car on the
siding at the time of the accident
and escaped without injury. They
did not have time to gather up any
wearing apparel but left lightly garb-
ed and took shelter in a section house.
