An exciting ball game was played at
Park City yesterday afternoon between
the Ogden and Park city teams. The
Junior Lobsters won In the last inning
during a sensational hniSh. When the
Ogdente's last chance came, they began
to hit the ball pretty freely and this
seemed TO demoralize the Miners who be-
gan to make errors. At the beginning OF
the Miners, but the Ogdenites kept up
their winning streak until the score was
. to in their favor.
II does seem rather strange that, after
all the challenges that have been hurled
about by Tommy Reilly, Eugene Thomp-
son and others that one OF them does not
accept the proposition made by Tommy
Burns OF Chicago. Burns came here with
otto sielolf, and remained here In the
hope of getting a match, He has offered
to meet Reilly at l5S rlngsidc. Jack Levell
az A52 or Eugene Thompson at 40, but
none OF them appear anxious for Tom
my's game. 1t Is really amusing to inote
the challenges issued every day or two,
and also the profound silence that pre-
walls when some good man calls the
challengers.

A friend OF Battling Nelson received
a letter from the little Chicago fighter
yesterday, In which the Battling one stat
ed that he was waiting In San Francisco
for a match with Eddie Hanlon. II is
quite likely that the pair will come to-
gether about the Goth OF July IL they
hght, II will be at l29 pounds at O'clock,
and Will take place at Woodward's pa
vilion. IL the pair meet both In good
condition, Nelson will In all probability
dispose Of Eddie az he did OF Conole.
The Batter has the Indian sign" on
most Of the little fellows lie stated in his
| letter that M. H. Mulvey OF this city had
offered him match hree, and that he
would probably accept the same,
| Since the Mellody-O'Kcefe, Yanger-
| Herrera fights at Butte Mayor Mullins
| OF Smoketown has announced that there
| VIII be no more fights there. lie declares
that the town Is getting too much OF a
| good thing and that, when he permitted
