decision for some time past and each

The referee for the main event and
the amateur championship even will
be J. M. Powers, former champion of
Minnesota. Miles Mentally will ref
cree the Hobson- Heinrich bout, which
is expected to be fast one.
In order to rush the matches
through the men will go on for alter
nate falls. The first bout will begin
at $3.50 O'clock and then the bouts

Back to the little one is the appar-
ent fate Of President Clyde Williams
and his Spokane Baseball association
since the rundown Of Spokane's APP
pllcation for admission to the Pa
cific Coast league.
President Williams has arrived
home with the information that 1t
will be another year before Spokane
can expect to play with the coast
cities, owing to the opposition of
some OF the southern magnates and
the vote Of President Bert. The coast
directors were tied on the PROPOSE
tion to admit Spokane and San Jose
and Fresno and the president cast the
deciding vote. 1t was announced at
the time that 1t was more In the be-
lief that Fresno and San Jose could
not make good than that the trip to
Spokane would be too long.

cause for congratulation that Spo-
