BOWLING.
Golden Eagle Team Wins Two From
jolly Fat Men.


The Golden Eagle and Jolly Fat Men
bowlers met at the latter's alleys last
night to play off the match postponed
from last Friday. The Fats got a slight
jolt in their great run of victories, drop
ping two games to the visiting five, but
the percentage column Of the Fats is so
ablebodied that the loss of these games
cuts little figure, and they still look good
for championship honors though there Is
more than a month of the playing season
left. The Fat Men have not been so sue
cessful upon their home alleys as upon the
alleys OF the other league clubs, and Of the
ten games which they have lost seven have
been dropped at home. Their playing last
night was not up to their standard by any
means. since they twice dropped into the
7CG column.
The Eagles played steadily, without max
ing any great runs, but in the two games
which were awarded to them they won by
margins that were entirely safe. George
Brandt was out Of the city, and in his
place bowler who was new to league COM
pany appeared, Allison by name who did
we'll on spare but was somewhat weak on
strikes. Both teams suffered to a very con-
siderable extent from splits, but by far the
largest portion of this hard luck fell to the
Fat Men. Eiker is still an absentee from
the ranks of the Eagles, and is slowly re-
gaining his health. but his place Is being
very acceptably filled by George Campbell,
dale, the best of the game, in his 1872. Lans-
dale more than made good, with an aver
age Of 1913.
The scores follow:

Twenty Rounds to a Draw.
The contest in San Francisco last night
for the featherweight championship be-
tween Young Corbett and Eddie Hanlon
was one of the f1ercest ring battles ever
fought on the coast.
Hanlon did most OF the. lighting: in the
earlier rounds Corbett started in the
sixth round to do aggressive work. He
found Hanlon very actfve. The sixth.
however, was Corbett's round. There was
lively fighting In the seventh. eighth.
ninth and tenth rounds.
In the eleventh Corbett let Hanlon do all
the scrapping. The champion nurseA him
self carefully for the struggle to conaes The
twelfth was Corbett's round all the way
through. In the thirteenth Corbett contin-
ued his aggressiveness and landed several
singing blows on Eddie. Hanlon appeared
to be losing strength.
In the fourteenth Hanlon went after Cor
bett like hend, and as the bell sounded
nearly put the champion out OF business by
a succession Of rights and lefts to face.
Hanlon sent Corbett to the ropes as the
gong sounded in the sixteenth.
Hanlon's punches seemed to lose their
force again in the seventeenth. but in the
middle OF the eighteenth he sent Corbeft to
the floor by voiley Of bloxe on the face
and body. 1t was a wondef That Corbett
rallied. 81

but his blows lacked force. Han1on tried
to finish Corbett in this round, but was
unable to do SO.
Corbett fought fast and furious in the
twentieth, but the Californian retained ais

rights and lefts to body, but zHanlon came
back at him and forced him to the ropes.
After twenty rounds OF the fastest fight
ing ever seen in San Erancisco. Referee
Graney decided the bout between Young
Corbett and Eddie HanloI draw. Young
Corbett clearly. demonstrated that he has
not gone back, as some sporting writer's
would have the public believe. Hanlon also
showed that the high opinion In which he
has been held by California boxing enthu-
siasts has been justified.

garding dues provides that each assoc!a-

HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT ASSURED.
Corbett and Jeffries May Fight at Fort
Erie,

Indications point to An early meeting In
the roped arena between James j. Jeffrfes
and James ]. Corbett for the heavyweight
championship of the world Replying to
Billy Delaneys ultimatum on behalf of the
champion, Corbett, whoiis In Philadelphia,
telegraphed yesterday tliatahe will meet De-
laney at Tom O'Rour,,e's hotel, New York,
on Sunday. Details for tie match will then
be arranged. sS-c bns t.eze. -
well, this looks like business" said De-
laney in New York last night, on receipt or
Corbett's telegram. IF Corbett is at all
reasonable in his demands when we meet on
Sunday a match will be quickly arranged.
AS Corbett Is the challenger l must wait
and see him before discussing possible con-
ditions.
.It is not for me to offer suggestions reia-
tive to terms about the match. Any de-
mands within reason that he may make will
be acceded to- The only point which we
shall insist upon is that Corbett must not
wear bandages."
With Jeffries waiving the clause about
battle to a finish and consenting to box
Corbett twenty rounds, sporting men be-
lieve that the big fellows Will now nave
nothing to prevent their signing articles
of agreement. Corbett has already posted
81, 800. and 1t is quite probable that after
articles are signed he will allow that
amount OF money to stand as forfeit TOT
his appearance in the ring. Jeffries will
post like amount as a guarantee of good
faith. .-
It is expected that the battle will be
fought in the arena Of the International
Athletic Club Of Fort Erie. That organiza-
ton has offered purse of $4,000 for the
bout. OF all the heavyweights who fought
Jeffries sporting men believe Corbett made
the best showing. He clearly outpointed the
''boilermaker' for twenty-five rounds. In
fact, he had all the better of the exchanges
up to the latter part of the twenty-third
round, when Jeffries landed right handler
on the jaw and Corbett went down and out.

Court to Decide Billiard Winner.

A special from Paris says tina the law
court has been resorted to for deciding the
billiard championship contest recently held
in that city, which resulted in a tie, by
Vignaux, Cure and Sutton.
It is said the agreement provided that in
case Of tie the winner should be the con-
testant with the highest average. but evil
IDENTIFY did not stipulate whether the high
est general average or the highest In any
one game was meant.
Vignaux's claim Is based on his highest
general average and he contends for that
Interpretation.
The others. particularly Sutton. hold the
opposite opinion.
Vignaux's general average was 70 lS-66.
Sutton's best average, which WAS during
the game with Vignaux, was 3lM in six
teen innings.

the Republican candidate for marshal,
certain Democrats are busy circulat-
ing the statement that Crockett is
in reality making the race for Benson
and that at the proper time Benson
will either receive Crockctts support,
or the Office after Crockett is elected.
1t is hardly to be supposed that any
body knows more about this than Mr..
Crockett himself, and that gentleman
emphatically denies the truth of the
statement. He says that he is not
putting his good money lto the tight
for Benson's benefit, but instead
wants the office himself Vot ers

matter and should be thoroughly alive

Mayor Hansen Talks.

Mayor Hansen returned Thursday
from flying trip to the East, where
he went to close up deals pertaining
to the equipment Of the condensed
milk factory. The Mayor states that
he had very successful trip. The
machinery purchased is double the
capacity of that which was first in
tended, and the factory will be OF suf-
ficient capacity to work up all the
milk In the south end Of the valley, in
Guiding Logan. The machinery Is ex-
pected to be on the ground by Decem-
Der 18th. and the plant ready to oper-
ate in the forepart of January. A
practical foreman who has had twenty
years experience has been engaged.
The Mayor expresses himself with
a great deal OF Indignation regarding
the Misrepresentation made by the
Democratic organ. He states emphatic
ally that seventy-five per cent of the
lumber shipped to Logan under his
contract Is extra select and Is worth
$40 per thousand on the market today,
and that none but this kind Is being
used for the piping and the balance
will be worked up. The Mayor Is
thoroughly satisfied that 1t Is not the
truth 1.-The only" desires to give the
pnblic, but that its statement. like
the one about the City Hall, are made
to produce certain which will
not materialize.,
