DE COURSEY IS HOT ON

Billy Tavignc. the well-known sporting

controversy with Biddy Bishop. LaviGne

beaten his man and is willing TO meet him
half way in the matter Of weight. De
Coursey feels certain he can repeat his
victory. and from the amount OF conii-

matches with Herrera heretofore and
from the way the Mexican lodges him,
! think he has it on Herrera. DeCour-
scy has had a hard row TO hoe in the
last lew months trying to secure matches
with these little fellows in his class.
And the only reason why he has that
trouble is that they are all afraid of him.

reason that have tried to get fellows like
lianlon and Neil TO meet him before my
club You can't find anyone OF them will
ing TO hitch up with him. Now then,
why for" He has hosts OF friends
around these parts and draws well. One
reason why he has not been on the cards
more is that he has nobody TO act in any
capacity for him. The boy can fight and
fight well; any time he goes on the 20
IS worth seeing. and the one that meets
him has 10 make good Bishop knows
what Herrera can do he also knows what
DeCoursey can do in the matter of
weight. and there is little use haggling
over that. Biddy writes as part OF his
excuse in not agreeing to Britts terms
that Herrera can easily do Iaz pounds

Now then, We will let Herrera weigh in
at r2S ring side; that's the weight they
fought at before. Anything you can do

BUTTE TEAM RAN
AMUCK OF THE Law

The Butte team almost failed reaching
San Francisco in time to play the opening
game April II, according to a story that
comes from San Jose, where they were
practcing before the season begun. 1t
seems that there was dispute relative to
the rent OF the grounds for the three
weeks practice, and the owner of the park
got ont an attachment for the parapher-
MALTA OF the team. The San Francisco
Bulletin tells the story:
FOR two hours a cold hearted consta-
bic had possession of the entire parapher-
MALTA of the club, holding everything from
sweater to a baseball.
Manager Kane was in San Francisco
and the players were in CONSERVATION.
The trouble was due to dispute over the
three weeks rent for the practice grounds.
]. Mcmillan, the lessee OF the local park,
called upon Kane yesterday at noon and
presented bill for $aS.
What is this for!' asked Kane.
,,.', Rent for the grounds replied Nc
Bah + said the Butte manager Your
Mae
But Mcmillan was not joshing. lie
insisted. on having his money. Finally
Kane offered $S as settlement. Mcmillan
still objected and Kane delivered an ulti-
matum and left for San Francisco, leav-
ing orders for the players to follow on the
evening train.
Two hours later Mcmillan got out
all attachment and Constable Shannon
swooped down on the visible property of
the players Shannon gathered in list
OF articles, the inventory of which took
up two pages Of legal cap. The players
yelled murder! and had recourse to the
wires. All pleadings were in vain and It
was finally necessary for Kane to come
back and settle up. The bill had grown
from $2S to $500, but it was either pay
it or play, in underwcas, and the Butte
man paid"

crowd that packed Light Guard Armory to its
fullest capacity. The bout was oneman

first round began with light left exchanges to
body. Mccoy sent left to jaw and ceverly
ducked vicious swing No damage was done.
Mccoy started the second with left hook to
jaw, right to head and right and left to neck
and mouth. Near the end Of the round Root
landed low body punch that sent Mccoy TO
the mat and he would have ended the bout
right there had il not been for. the gong.
Root opened the third with right to back OF
the head and Mccoy went down and took the
count. Root landed right and left to body,
Mccoy again going down and taking the
count. Mccoy wa, very groggy and was hold
ing to save himself.
From this on Root landed as he pleased.
McCoy's blows lacked steam and he appeared
to be content with staying the limit.

the player fined didn't know it. Was
the player forced to pay his fine in

have to pay that fine. It was the
duty Of the umpire to report the fine
to the league president within IL
hours after the incident and for the
president in turn to officially notify

SAY FlTZSIMM0NS is BROKE

Chicago, April .a3,-A special to the Chronicle
from New York says after more than 200
battles, covering a period of nearly 20 years,
Bob Fitzsimmons, the old man OF the prize
least 100000, declares that he has no money
left, and that the house at Bath Beach, which
was owned by his wife, represents his entire
wealth.
AS Mrs. Fitzsimmons died without making
will the title to this property passes to her
children, and "Lanky Bob" is left with a life
interest only.
If Fitzsimmons' statement TO his lawyers Is
accurate, all he has to show for his years of
fighting is the right to live in house for the

EACH HAS HIS STYLE

An interesting comparison OF the pitching
styles Of DR.. Moskiman show that MoSkiman
used but 30 balls while Corbett pitch, 40.
Part Of this is due to the fact that forbett
worked an inning more than Moskim. a., but
more Is chargeable to his style of pitching.
Often Joe will get two strikes on a batter
and Slen will wander three balls over to make
him think the pitcher has lost control. About
that time Joe will bend a nice one over the
middle when the batter Is looking either for
another ball or straight one, and pop fly
usually results. Joe Corbett uses great many
balls in persuading batters to bite at wide one.
they cannot hit effectively, and succeeds ad.
