FEW BETS MADE ON
BURNS-O' BR|EN GO
Siler Thinks Men Are About
Evenly Matched and Both Are
Hard Nuts to Crack.
BY GEORGE sILER.

Interest in the Jack o. Bren- Tommy
Burns heavyweight championship fight,
which is slated to take place at Los An
geles on Thanksgiving night, is increas-
ing as the day of the battle draws near
Still there has been no bets placed on its
outcome in this vicinity. The reason OF
that is the spectators are up in the air.
SO to speak. They know that Jack is a
cracking good fighter and that he would
not enter into the match unless he knew
where he was at. He saw Burns fight
Cy Flynn and judged by that contest he
would be easy picking And Burns by
the way, saw o. rien trim Fred Cooley
and Jim Tremble. and therefore knows
where he will get off at when he tackles
the clever Philadelphia. Burns never
received credit for beating Marvin Hart
and this. despite the fact that he was
considered a set-up for the big Ken
tuclxian. The latter. on paper. looked so
much superior to Tommy, offers TO bet on
the result of the battle went begging.

OLD QUESTION TO
COME UP AGAIN
National League May Increase
Pitching Distance to Help
Out BatterS.

When the National league directors
meet in New York December u the old
question OF a change i'm the pitching dis
lance is on the program.
The pitching distance question. how
ever. has been a disturbing element in
baseball for the past twenty years. but
as yet no one has solved the problem.
In fact. many experts deny that it is a
problem. They believe that the present
distance of sixty feet and fraction is
the ideal distance.
The sole object in fixing the pitching
distance is to increase batting as much
as possible, but every change has worked
the other way. Batting has steadily de-
ciined. despite the numerous efforts to re-
arrange the baseball rules.
About eighteen years ago there was a
great hullabulOO over the subject of bat
ting. and the pitcher. who then pitched
at q distance of fifty feet from the home
plate was moved lack
4 few years later he was again moved
back. but all the time the batting kept
on declining while the pitcher steadily
gained the upper hand.

Tonopah. New. this morning and there is
now no chance of a hitch preventing the
New Years day fight with Joe Cans.
Ben Selig. the colored mans Pacific
coast manager, wires that he sent Cans
forfeit to TOnopah last Monday. AS the
clubs $4,000 is up. all that remains for
the fighters is to prepare for battle.
The division of the picture money is still
an open question and will not be settled
until the fighters reach Nevada. The club
wants GO per cent OF the receipts from
this source and is unwilling to divide II
into three parts, as was done at Gold

FOOTBALL NOT
APARLOR GAME
United States Army and Utah
University Play Under Rough
House Rules.

New rules will not make football par
lor game or an amusement for the Friday
night etiquette club. At least this is the
verdict of the mighty warriors from the
university and Uncle Sans boys in blue
who met in a practice game on the Fort
Douglas campus yesterday afternoon.
Those who fear that the game will be-
come tame in time and that boys will play
the college pastime to prepare them for
society, should have Witnessed this bat
tie.
Maddock's men evidently forgot the dis
tinctiOn between football and pugilism,
and the soldiers became detached from
their Sunday manners. so that the game
ended in d big free-fOr-aii. The trouble
started early in the first half and grew
Jiercer every down 1t was useless to
penaliZe as the roughneSs of one side
would be Offset by that of the other and
the rough players could not be taken out
of the game because the pigskin would
be all that would have been left
EVA" Barton Among Missing.
That all Of the men got out of the game
awe Is miracle. with all me excite
ment going on and the exchange Of griev-
anccs anonS the gridirOn artists not one
left any the worse. A fortunate end came
10 the proceedings shortly after the sec
ond half had started. The roughness had
reached eUch - degree that the spirit took
hold Of tn" rOOtcrs and they all Swarmed
onto the field to mix in the fun At once
chaos reigned and after a struggle of ten
-.-.-l-.v. --stuUuck ana his men emerged
with only one missing. 1t was Barton A
party was sent back to recover him. and
he was found in 4 hollow some distance
from the scene Of the melee, calmly sit
ting on top of two soldiers.
The score when the play stopped was Sc
10 in favor of the university. The l
men made their gain through straight
football and plowed through the soldier
line at ease. All of the men were tried
out and showed I'D in fine condition The
soldier team was equally as strong as on
the other occasion when they met the L
players The rest of the game will be
played when arrangements can be made
with the city council for the services of
the police department and the coroner S
Jury.
