IF. SHARP CANNOT ACCEPT
Leaves City Two Weeks Before Bige.
lows Challenge Comes-How-
ever, Callison Nav Get in,

From ali indications. the acceptance OF
j.. n. sharps challenge by A p. Bigelov
Of Ogden has come too late. Early in
the summer local trap experts looked for
ward with much pleasure to a meeting
between these two cracks at breaking
bluerOcks, but now IL appears that Bige-
low has come forward TOO late with his
acceptance. The reason Tor this Is that
Sharp has left the city. About two weeks
ago he departed for RsXburg, Ida where
he viii make his home IA the future, and
before leaving he said he was sorry the
challenge had not come. as he would
have liked 90 meet the Ogden crack be
fore going away. 1t could not be learned
yesterday whether Sharp would consider
any kind OF a challenge, some saying be
had quit shooting FOR good and ali time.
Local trap experts. however, say that
there IS st1ll chance 10 see some sport
ana Will try to get Cal CalIison to talSe
Sharp's place when CallisOn returns TO
the city. They believe the captain of the
Salt Lake Gun club win Jump at a.
chance TO meet Ogdens crack and that
he will be able to uphold Salt Lakes end
in the absence of Sharp. Some OF The
local members of the club said yesterday
that pressure would be brought to bear
on Callis0n 10 take up Bigelow's offer as
soon as he returned 10 the city.

NELSON'S TRUE SELF SHOWN IN FIGHT

There was a little incident during the
Britt-Nelson fight of which very few
had knowledge and which shows clearly
the strong vein of humanity and kindli-
ness IN Nelson's makeup During one
stage of the fight when things were GO
ing rather badly for Britt the native son
showed tendency 10 drop his lower jaw
aud fight with his mouth open. Nelson,
noticing this, kept warning Britt or the
danger of biting through his tongue in
case Of a hard blow on the jaw Don't
keep your mouth open. Jimmy" he kept
on saying. You'll bite your tongue if
land an upper cut ana I don't want you
10 do that"
When asked about it afterwards Nelson
said: Il wanted To whip him bad enough
but I didn't want 10 whip him that way.
would have felt pretty mean If | had
made him bite his tongue. One time
had a fight with q man who was pretty
mean anG kept running his tongue out at
me- ! thought then what would happen
if [ should land hard uppercut and ever
since have been careful to keep my own
teeth tightly clenched. / get pretty much
in earnest in a fight, but I try not 70
forget TO be fair"
There has been some effort to picture
Nelson as of the coarser type of the pu-
him down as the brute bruiEer working
against a brainy boxer This little incl
dent and the fact that Nelson reached
over tenderly raisd Britt TO his feet after
he had been counted out and helped him
TO his corner, shows that the lad from
HegeWisch has but little OF the brute
about him.

LOCAL B0WLERS
GETTING BUSY
Meeting Today to Organize League
For Coming Season.
WEST THINKS WELL OF ZION
SEATTLE NOW SAYS MANY ARE
COMING TO ToURNAM EMIT.
WEST THINKS WELL OF ZION

Salt Lakes bowlers are beginning 10
wake up, and, judging from the talk
among them, this year viii be even d
greater one IN the bowling line in Zion
than was last year. A meeting of thosa
interested in the formation Of a bowIinl.
league has been called for this morning
at II a. N. at the Palace alleys 10 put q
league in shape for the coming year. and
ali Of those interested are requested TO
be present.
Bowling league, was one OF the visitors
among the local bowling fraternity yes
terday and had quite q long talk with
Vice. President Zehring of the Western
Bowling congress. During his cOnfab
Rognan said that a great amount Of in
teTest was being taken IL the annual
tournament at Salt Lake, and he would
not be surprised il every big city ia the
west sent delegates as competitors. Salt
Lake has received q great amount of
favorable advertisement among the bowl
ers OF the west on account of the re-
narkably high scores made in the tele-
graphic contests last season, when this
town beat every city OF prominence in
the northwest. ROgnan says bOWlers out
his way are stil talking of those scores
and are anxious to meet the same men
in tournament and see il it can be
done again.
Next Wednesday night the senior and
junior members of last years City league
Will meet in q match game The Ine-up
selected for this occasion are: For the
seniors, Hanes, Henderson, A. W Smith
Zimmerman and Talamantes for the jun
Tors, Evans, Allen. Whitney, Price anu
Wilson.
The captains Of last years CITY. league
have accepted the challenge Of the Cr-ys-
tails, and the game will be played next
Friday night.

YOST HAS BIG JOB ON HAND
Loses HeSton and Carter and Says
Man Cannot Be Found to Replace
Former Star Fullback.

Ann ,Arbor, Mich, Sept. 16.-Can Hurry
Up Host turn out another winning foot
ball team for Michigan? That is the
question being asked on every side in
Ann Arbor now, and the prophetic an
swers that are given are not without
differences.
IN TACT, the followers Of western foot
bail who live within the shadow of the
NoiverinA university dome are about
equally divided in their opinion on this
question. 1t is impossible to disguise the
tact that Eost is up against il with a
thOrOughness that has not characterized
the opening Of any previous season. but
the gentleman with q broad smile has
always manifested a remarkable abil-
ity in accomplishing what he sets out
TO do.
This ability is not booked 10 desert
him at the present juncture. say the Op-
timists. but less cheerfully inclined Mich
igan followers look forward with mis-
glvings TO the coming gridiron strug-
gle.
Hestop, the star haIfbacl of the foot
bah world, was the mainstay OF the
eleven last season, but he will not be
on hand this fall. Carter, the-yeteran
guard, is also in the missing list ana
he and HestOn constitute a pair who
cannot be replaced.
How will YOU replace Heston?" Coach
Yost was asked recently.
81 can't replace him." was the answer.
Ills equal does not exist
Not only is the team seriously crippled
by the loss Of Heston and Carter, but
owing TO the freshman eligibility rule
there will be no chance of picking I'D
good material from the new men. Yosts
only hope is last years squad, latent
football talent In college, and players
of former years who have not exhaust
ed their four years eligibility, and who
may come back this fail.

CANS CHALLENGES NELSON
Lightweight Champion Says Battler
Will Have to Fight Him Before
He Can Claim Title.

Baltimore, Nd, Sept. 16.-Champion
Joe Cans said tonight:
Now that Nelscu has defeated Britt
would like 20 have a chance with the
victor. Nelson may claim the lightweight
championship all he pleases, but he will
have to beat me TO make sure that he
holds il. / won the title fairly and square
ly from Frank Erne in May. 1901, at Fort
Erie. Canada, and L have never been de-
feated. There was no color line until
after 1 won the title legitimately from q
white man.
Il believe that / am Nelson's master.
When Sullivan fought Jimmy Britt on the
coast only a few months ago / tried TO get
on a match with Nelson, but the latter
would not talk business with my manager
Will fight Nelson under any conditions
he wants, but he VIII have TO be square
with me in the selection of the referee
When the Battler was in Baltimore last
summer to fight Kid Sullivan Herford Of
fered 20 make the match and bet a big
sum on the side, but the Danes manager
side-stepped the proposition on the
ground that he already had Il match on
with Britt.

My Fight With Jack Dempsey.
The Worlds ExChampiOn Tells Whipped Dempsey How
1t Was Done
BY BOB FITzsIMMoNs.

fight doped out to a turn, and the club
inquired ii out that I'd probably knock
Dempsey out in the first round, and the
whole thing would fizZle out, because
the men who had come from other
cities would kick at the shoTtness of il.
I've heard they took Carroll into the
game. and fixed il up with him to tell
me that he was yellow, and would quit
II 1 hit him hard, and that the only
way to make the thing go of right was
for me to coax him along, and just soys
OF feel him out for eight or nine ROUNDS
so the sports could have q run for their
money. II was a low-down game all
the way through, and it's about the one
thing / regret.
Ever since then I've been a little bit
sore on New Orleans. because 1t was
just two years later that | had it han.
ed TO me again in the same town by the
same crowd, and this time l got it for
$4,000, which is something I'm going
to tell about before long. I'd always
been square with that New Orleans
gang, and ] thought there was nothing
but friends in the town, but it only goes
% show you that when q mans pocket
is IN the case, there is mighty little
friendship around loose,
Poor old Jack Dempsey is dead and
gone now, but he knew all about il
friends, for he knew that I'd been
played for a sucker, and he'd been the
victim. He was the middleweight cham
pion, and was the best man in the busi-
ness until / happened along. and he
knew in the first round that l could
put him away in a punch. but he never
wilted for a minute and while the blood
was running down his face he gritted
his teeth and came back for more of
the same.
The last time I put him down before
the knockout l didn't hit him. l just
put my glove against his chin and
showed him, and he went over in heap,
his head struck the dirt and it was all
up with him then. We fought on dirt
floor, or, rather. the bare ground. and
he had about as much mud on him as
anything else where he'd rolled about
IN st.
Now it's all over and has been this
fourteen years, but l want to pay
tribute right here to the best little man
that ever wore n glove; the gamest
fighter that ever stepped IN a ring, ana

there Is a bout a blue peacock, and
that's Jack Dempsey.

We are just as much a party to the

AlRSHIP RACE ENDS IN TIE.
First Event of Its Kind Results in
Both Aerial Machines Failing
to Complete Course.

Los Angeles. Cal, Sept. 16.-The first
airship race sailed in America occurred
here yesterday when Alva Reynolds
Man Angel No. . sailed against Wordin
Trombly's Bullet. The craft We're
scheduled TO sail over a thirty-mile
course and return, but failed to make
the return trip, although fulfilling all
other conditions as TO altitude and
maneuveTing. The Bullet is an I'M
nense machine, seVenty-five feet long
and fifty-five feet wide, and is propelled
in the same manner as the Baldwin
Knabenshue aiTship and Is guided by
a rudder. The Man Angel is a tiny
craft. One-third of the dimensions Of
the Bullet. 1t is propelled by hand
oars. The Bullet attained an elevation
of 5000 feet ana lost its rudder, which
interfered with the maneuvers, but the
ship sailed on its course. The Man An
gel attained an elevation Of 5000 feet,
responded perfectly to attempts at
maneuveTing and sailed to its course.
Neither ship returned according to con-
ditiOns and this causes the judges to
declare the race a draw. The Man An
gel would have won the decision had il
returned over the course.
