ELLISON LOSES GOOD COLT.
Pneumonia Claims Valuable Son o
Topgallant at Memphis.

Memphis, Tenn. Nov. 17.-Charles Ell
lison lost his good colt by Topganant,
out of the dam of Terra Firma. He died
of pneumonia. He recently paid $4500
for him and he worked faster than any
yearling in his stable.
Bud May had the pleasure of seeing
his chestnut FLY by Gold Crest, the half
sister to Operator and Martin Duke,
work a quarter of a mile in 0:23, the
fastest work of the year by any old
horse. let alone a yearling. A yearling
chestnut colt from the same stable, a
big, fine-looking colt, worked the same
distance in 0:24.
Dick Benson, who has recently forsa-
ken the harness horse for the bangtails,
worked a chestnut FLY by Ornament
and bay colt by Halma a quarter IN
0:24 2-5.
Bud May had his Derby candidate,
High Ball. out for his morning exercise,
but he only logged and cantered. He IS
pronounced by good judges of horses
to be the finest looking 2-year-old seen
here in many day.

trotter that he could drive to a worlds
record.
Since rating The Abbot to a mile in
2:03N over the Terre Haute track
Geers has never piloted a champion of
the world, although innumerable large
winners and champions of their respec-
tive classes have been developed and
trained by the silent man.
Another green trotter being handled
by Geers which gives evidence of de-
veloping into a great winner is Alex
ander. a bay gelding by Star Duroe,
dam by George Wilkes. One of the
reasons Geers took him to train from an
Ohioan named Clark is that he resem-
bles Lord Derby in several ways, and
Geers never tires praising Lord Derby
Alexander has shown mile in 2:10,
the half being negotiated in 1908. His
breeding is old-fashioned and his prev
ious career is like that of Billy Buck,
the biggest money winner of the present
year. which Gecrs developed from a
buggy horse. Alexander. said Geers,
has shown more than Billy Buck at the
same time last year. Scott Hudson, the
Kentuckian, is said to be after the colt.

STANLEY DILLON is FAST.
Brother to the Sensational Lou Does
Good Work at Memphis.

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 17.-By his per-
Torrance over the local course a young
son of Sidney Dillon, sire of Lou Dillon
the trotting queen, has caused himself
to be talked about in a manner that
brings him into prominence as at least
possible bidder for the premier hon
ors at present held by his illustrious
sister.
The name of the youngster is Stanley
Dillon. He has never started in a
race, but his preliminary work prior to
his winter retirement at the Billings
track here has been phenomenal. A
mile in better than 2:13, with the last
half under 1903, was shown during the
week, and before the end of the month
he will be asked for his last effort of
the year. Stanley Dillon is owned by
Detroit people. Frank Cares formerly
trained him, but his owner, George H.
Payne, Cherry Tree farm, has turned
him over to the veteran Ed Geers.
Some of the more enthusiastic horse
men who have watched the youngsters
work go so far as to predict that he
will lower Lou Dillons mark when
called on. They base this prophecy on
the marvellous speed and steady speed
Improvement noted in Lou Dillon and
Dolly Dillon, the other noted members
of the Dillon household. Ed Geers will
give the youngster a thorough trying

a kings ransom to develop another

Sig Hart knows to an ounce what

will not permit O'Keefe to come in

CONDEMNS HIMSELF TOJAIl
Wife Beaten Blames Whisky and Will
Not Pay Fine.

Torrington, Conn, Nov. 17.-Charles
B. Phelps, son of a wealthy farmer,
was fined in the police court today for
assaultng his bride of a month. Rather
than ask his parents to pay the light
penalty imposed he preferred to go TO
the county Jail and serve out his time.
Friends of the young fellow, who is
very popular, begged to be allowed to
advance the amount, but Phelps refused
all aid and donned the prison stripes
for thirty days.
Whisky alone is responsible" said
the youth after he left his friends. Il

BAN JOHNSON TALKS.
Says Too Much Publicity Spoiled Sale
of Detroit Club.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-President Ban
johnson, of the American League, re-
turned from Detroit. where he had been
for the past few days trying to dispose
of the baseball club of that city. He
returned without having made any deal
because he says it got to be too much
of public matter
1T was like taking a brass band with
me to do business with" Johnson said.
1T is hard in a place like Detroit to
do anything without the public knowing
it. For that reason we were hampered,
could come to no definite conclusions
and decided to let the matter rest for
While, as there is no rush to dispose of
the club.
4 could not say as yet who is likely
to get the franchise, as we have several
propositions in view. However, one
thing is sure, and that is that the Amer
lean League will not carry the club next
season.
President Johnson has received the Of
fetal announcement from Garry Herr
mann in the Donohue case. johnson
said the ruling was absolutely correct
and the mistake lies with Salt Lake peo-
pie who represented to Comiskey that
they had reserved Donohue If Comiskey
had known the player was free he might
have secured him as well as the St.
Louis club.

Marvin Hart and Joe ChOynski
Go Six Fierce Rounds
At the Washington Sporting

THEY SET RAPID PACE.

Hart Had Much the Best of the
Third and Sixth.

Philadelphia, Nov 17.-Marvin Hart
and Joe Choynski went six rounds to
a draw at the Washington Sporting
club last night. The bout was fast.
both men taking severe punishment.
and both were bleeding freely at the
close.
The two fighters started out at a ter
rife pace, hitting right and left with
telling effect. There was no percept-
ible difference in the men during the
first two rounds. In the third round
Hart sent Choynski to the floor with
terrific punch on the jaw. Choynski
remained on the floor until Referee
Recap counted eight, and then rose to
his feet and came back vigorously at
Hart but the latter managed to hold
his own. The men fought so hard IN
the first three rounds that they came
to the center of the ring in the fourth
looking very tired. AS a consequence
the round was rather tame. In the
fifth however, they again went at each
other with terrific smasheS of rights
and let's.
In the sixth round Hart looked a
trifle fresher than Choynski. Hart hit
Choynski with his right and left al
most at will. The latter was weaken
ing rapidly and was little groggy un-
til the third seconds from the end OF
the round when he rallied. He rushed
at Hart and smashed him frequently
with his right. Hart, weakened by his
own exertions earlier in the round.
was unable to Withstand ChoynskI s
onslaught, and the latter kept punch
ing him until the bell announced the
end of the fight.
notwithstanding the amount of pun
ishment received, neither man was
badly hurt Harris nose was bleeding
and also his mouth, while ChoynSk
had a slight cut over the right eye.
Choynski appeared to be in better
condition than Hart. The latter looked
as though he weighed about Is pounds
heavier than his opponent.

SANDY FERGUsoN's NERVE.
Wants to Meet Jeffries for the
Championship.

New York. Nov. 17.-Sandy Ferguson,
the clever heavyweight aspirant, who
last week received the decision over Joe
Walcott in a fifteen round battle, is out
with a challenge to meet all corners in
the heavyweight division. Ferguson
would like to meet Champion Jeffr1es
for the championship, but it is likely
that he will have to take part in few
more battles before the. champion will
take him seriously.
Jeffries has already announced that
he does not intend to enter the ring
again until he has wound up his theat-
rical Engagements, which he will in all
probability begin in a week or two.
With Jeffries out of it just at present, a
match between Jack Munroe and Fer
guson will probably be made to take
place in the near future. Munroe, like
Ferguson, is not particular who he
meets He is anxious to fight for the
championship, and he realizes that the
only way he can induce the champion
to meet him is to fight his way up the
pugiliStic ladder.

F1rz HITS THE HARDER.
Opinion of Pugilist Gardner on the
Coming Bout.

San Francisco Nov. lin speaking
of his chances. Gardner said:
There is only one point OF the game
in which I think F'itzsimmons lays
over me. He is a harder puncher
than I am. On the other hand. 1 be-
lieve I can stand three times the
amount of punishment Fitz can. An
other thing it appears to me that if
we get settled for a long journey, my
chances of winning out will be better
than his. He is great fighter, no
Ooubt, but age always tells on the
hest Of them and l believe this is the
time it is going to tell on Fitzsimmons
when we get to smuggling, as we
surely will, it will soon be seen that
Fitzsimmons' terrible punch has lost
much of its force OF course, this is
my view of what may happen, and 1
may be wrong. I figure, though, from
his performance with Grim, that Fitz-
simmons can't put man away quick
ly any more. It is all very well for
him to say he didn't want to hurt his
hands because of his engagement with
me. Let me tell you that when you
are in the ring with a crowd of thou
sands bowling around you, you are not
thinking about injury to your hands.
You feel like fighting to the best OF
your ability. and it is my idea that
the reason Grim wasn't knocked out
was because F'itz wasn't equal to the
trick

Stock shipments from Goodland are

that large transfer of stock from this
