HAS JEFFRIEs GONE BACK?
Champion Refuses to Box a Second
Rater and is Severely Criticised.

Champion Jeffries certainly gave the Salt
Lake sports poor impression of his brav-
cry in that city Thursday night by lodging
a four-round go with Mexican" Pete Ey-
erett.
Jenries and Fitzsimmons went to Salt
Lake and gave a boxing exhibition. With
great buster 1t was announced in advance
that Jeffries was ready to take on any man
and stop him in four rounds or forfeit $500
With an eye on the 500, Everett was at
the ringside ready to go on. Many of those
IN the audience knew he was going to
tackle the champion, and were prepared to
see good bout.
But Jeffries wasn't game Seeing Ever
ett he announced his challenge didn't in
clude professionals
This aroused the crowd. The champion
afraidr' were heard. Many, diSgusted left
the theater rather than sit through the rest
Of the exhibition.
Did Jack Munroe, the miner boxer knock
all the courage out of Champion Jeffries?
Having in mind the Californians act in
declining to meet Mexican Pete Everett
In a four-round go Thursday night at Salt
Lake City. many sporting men were asking
and discussing this question last night.
Some were inclined to believe the cham
pton was merely cautious; that he realized
he was not in real fighting trim, while Ev-
erett, always a dangerous man, was PINNED
up for a battle.
Many however. declared that Jeffries'
nerve had gone since his showing with the
Butte fighter. They pointed out that here

speculation in foot ball tickets for the an
nual game played by teams from West
Point and Annapolis. This Is one of the
problems to be discussed at the coming
meeting in this city of a committee from
each of the two institutions. The West
Point Military Academy will be represented
by Prof Freibiger. Capt. Pierce and Capt.
Knowlton and they will meet similar del
egation from the Naval Academy. Plans
will be considered for the game next fall
and date agreed upon, but the important
question to come up will relate to the dis
tribution of tickets. which in the past has
caused considerable embarrassment to the
officers Of the army and navy.
The athletic associations are supported by
subscriptions from military officers and
civilians, and each subscriber is furnished
with seats, according to the supply. The
seats are first distributed in equal lots to
West Point, Annapolis and the University
Of Pennsylvania. the game being played on
the grounds of the universal

leGres but when allotted are then 0IslriD-
uted to the subscribers.
SO scarce are these tickets just before
game that they have been known to sell for
sio and SO each, and persons who have
tried In vain to secure them from either the
War or Navy departments have only been
able to secure admission to the game by
purchasing their tickets from spectators.
Investigation has shown that persons en-
titled to tickets by distribution have on sew
eraI occasions placed them on sale, and last
fail q detective employed by the athletic
associations traced some tickets so dis
posed Of to a very prominent officer.
The only plan considered at all practical
by the officials Of the academy is to place
the tickets on sale. and after deducting the
expenses OF the foot ball teams, use the

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Jockey Booker Indefinitely Suspended
for Poor Ride on Master.

Jockey H. Booker was suspended indef-
nitely yesterday afternoon at the Crescent
City track. New Orleans. The stewards
thought his handling Of Master was too poor
to be true and they gave orders that he
should not accept any more mounts until
his riding had been thoroughly Investigated.
H Booker is brother OF Alfred Booker,
the boy who was killed last spring at
Gravesend on Red Knight. He has ridden
at New Orleans with fair amount of sue
cess. and was considered capable jockey.
His exhibition on Master in the third race
was very poor. He held the horse under
such restraint early In the struggle that
it attracted the attention of the stewards.
After much bungling, OF the reins Booker
eventually landed his mount in third place,
Ben Frost winning easily at 30 to 1.

BOWLING RECORDS.
Individual Work by the Members Of
the District Amateur League.

The records of the various players who
have participated in the District Bowling
League games have been compiled by the
leagues official scorer, George Brandt. A
perusal of the table below. shows that
much higher average Is maintained by the
nen at the top Of the list than has ever
been the case in former years. Krauss'
record for fifteen games. with an average Of
1870. is the best in the leagues history and
where 165 formerly stood for the best rec
ord there are now more than dozen men
who exceed that figure. The reason for
this lies solely in the improved bowling Of
the players, since theconditions under which
they play are identical with those Of former
years, the alleys Being the same and there
having been no material changes in either
the playing rules or the pins and balls.

BUSINESS MEN WON.
The Golden Eagle Bowling Team Fell
Before Them.


The Golden Eagle bowling team went
down through the mist and rain to the
South WASHINGTON Business Mems Club last
night and jolted the home team in two OF
the three games played. This two-time
victory places the Eagles in a tie with
the saengers and Carroll Institute for sec
ond place in the league race, the three be-
ing but hairs breadth below the Jolly
Fats who are leading South Washington
took the first game, though the margin was
narrow and the result in doubt almost till
the last player had rolled, but from the
outcome it can be seen that the visitors
were in no wise discouraged. In the sec
ond game the Eagles ran the fine score OF
$50. demonstrating again the speed Of the
South Washington alleys. Every one OF
the team totals on both sides was good,
save the last string of the Business Men,
when they fell off somewhat and made the
only 700 score of the match.
The good work of the visitors was divided
very evenly among the five men, though
Eiker's two games of over 200 place him IN
the front rank for either side. The only
other 2O0-game Of the series went to the
Business Men. through the fine playing OF
Gould In the second game, though he
robbed himself Of some of the credit OF
this by totaling only 124 in the windup.
The home team got by far the better of
the start In the opening game, no man
breaking, while but three of the Eagles
played a perfect frame But the home
team slipped back in the second and third
frames, while the Eagles were playing
steady game, and the lead soon went TO
the visitors. The home team ran num-
Der of strikes in the middle frames that
again put them in the lead, which they
he'd by a narrow margin throughout the
rest of the game. The score follows:

tofore the champion was afraid of no man;
He was always in fairly good trim and
ready to take his chances in the ring at any
time.
Tom Sharkey, the sailor pugilist, said
last night in New York that Jeffries' sun
had set.
Hes all in now. Any man who s afraid
of Pete Everett ought to retire from the
game. He's the fellow put out In round
at Cripple Creek
Mexican Pete Everett Is fighter OF
about Jeffries' height and fairly COCO
man. He once stayed four rounds with
Jefrries but only by craftiness in skipping
around the ring and constant blocking.
When Everett met Sharkey at Cripple
Creek in 1901 the former. although knocked
out was given the decision.
The men had fought furiously almost to
the end of the round. Sharkey was IN
angry mood and suddenly drove Everett to
the floor with vicious smash on the head
Slowly Everett began to rise. Before ne
could Sharkey had cut loose fearfui

the ear. He dropped to the floor senseless'
The referee gave him the verdict on foul.
Sharkey declared afterward that the deci-
sion was a robbery, as Everett was on MS
feet when the finishing punch landed.

which were not sold at the recent sale Of
that gentleman's horses in England, and
which would be eligible to but very few

In future to race. 1t has not yet been de-
cided whether these horses will be raced in

FIRST GAME.

The Business Men put up a fine score in
the second game, but it was unavailing in
the face of the great bowling of the
Eagles. It is seldom that a team makes
but six breaks in a game, but this is ex-
actly what the Eagles accomplished in
their ten frames. so that without a phe-
nomenal number of strikes, they ran their
big string of $50. The game was one OF
the best played of the season, and was
wildly applauded at its close. The score

Railway Relief Bowlers.

In the Railway Relief Association League
the City and Suburban and the Columbia
teams were the contestants last night on
their private alleys, the former winning
all three games. The Columbia team
was unable to get to the 100 mark in any
of the games while the City and Suburban
boys went over that mark three different
times. The top score honers of the even
ing went to Skinner of the City and Sub
urban, who Knocked over 17S pins in the
third game.

SECOND GAME.

The Eagles were almost a hundred pins
to the good at the end Of the last game,
the home team never having been in sight
of a victory. The steadiest kind Of work
characterized the visitors play, three Of
the team bowling in the eighties. The only
poor score on the Business Mems slate was
the one by Gould. SO that with any sort of
a string by him the home teams score
would have easily been a good one. The

WAR ON PRAIRIE DOGS.
Texas Legislature Has Taken Measures
for Their DETERMINATION.

Texas Legislature Has Taken Measures
for Their determination.
The Texas Legislature has passed 4
aw providing for the determination of
prairie dogs, The law provides that in
counties where there are prairie dogs an
election shall be held upon petition
Of fifty freeholders in any county for the
purpose of voting upon the proposition
to exterminate the pest If the result
Of the election is for determination. the
land owners of the county are given
twelve months in which to kill all the
dogs on their respective tracts. Owners
.3r lessees of land who fail to comply with
the law are subject to damages in the
sum of $3.50 per section per mt nth for
injury done on adjoining land by the
dogs which come from the unceared
tracts. 1t is estimated that the cost Of
Killing the dogs is about $25 per section.
In some of the counties situated in
the northwestern part Of the State there
are thousands of the little animals on
every section of land. 1t is estimated
that they destroy fully 80 per cent of the
grass, and in localities whore farming
has been attempted they completely ruin
such crops as wheat and oats. They null
tiply with great rapidity, and it is as
serted that unless concerted action is
taken toward DISCRIMINATING them, they
will soon have spread throughout the
western part of the State. The most
common and effective means for sxter-
minating them is to spread poisoned
wheat around their holes They feed
upon the wheat and Die. Several stock
men are paying mcn as muca as Sl2J
per month each to do nothing but kill
prairie dogs on their ranches.
