Sullivan Helpless and on the Floor
IN the Tenth When the Po-
lice Interfered.
DARKY'S PERFECT FIGHT
WORE BOSTON BOY DOWN WITH
LEFT BODY PUNCH.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 1i-Joe Cans
Of Baltimore. decisiveIy defeated Mike
CTwin) Sullivan OF Boston. tonight, in ten
rounds. While Sullivan was not counted
out he was on the floor and practically
helpless when the police instructed the
referee to end the fight Cans made
perfect fight, wearing down Sullivan
with 4 straight left body punch that
never failed TO land and which had Sui
livans ribs In red glow from waist to
shoulder all through the fight. Sullivan
apparently had show to win in the
third round when he landed a hard right
swing on Cans jaw. staggering him and
forcing him to stall for the remainder
of the round. There was absolutely no
infighting, the men agreeing to break
clean and to avoid fighting in the
clinChes. If anything this gave Sullivan
an advantage. but barring the one blow
in the third round he failed to land eff
fectively on GanC.
The fight was held at Chutes baseball
park, the ring being pitched directly in
front of the grandstand which served
as 'bleaCher seats for the crowd The
seats Immediately around the ring were
scantily occupied. 1t was one of the
coolest nights of the winter and prob
ably 1.500 spectators shivered in their
seats from s until 10 o'clock before the
fighters appeared. The delay was caused
it is said. by Sullivans unwillingness
to fight before such a small house. Be
fore the fight began Referee King an
nOunced that because Sullivan was six
pounds overweight both contestants had
agreed that all bets should be declared
off and that if both were on their feet
at the end OF twenty rounds the fight
should be called a draw.

JOHN DUDEI HAS HIS SAY
Tells Ogden, Park City and En-
reka He VIII Name His
Own Team,

Apropos of the discussion now going
on in the state league baseball circles
over the naming Of the Salt Lake base
ball team, John Dubei, hacker of the
local team, has the following to say;
= note by this mornings issue of
YOUR paper that the Ogden ball club
refuses to go into the league with our
team. together with Park City and
Eureka, unless they are allowed to die
tate to us what we are to call our club.
Now that seems to be a very unspoTts-
manlike stand for these people to take,
and I want to state once and for all,
that I shall say just what my team
shall be called, and if Ogden, Eureka
and Park City chose to stand out and
disrupt what undoubtedly would be d
strong state league by such childish
action, ii is Up to them.
II want 20 say, however that l hold
the lease on Walkers field, and if it
becomes necessary for US to do so. we
will play ball here independently Of the
clubs mentioned. Also, ! have put up
ALI the money to start baseball in Salt
Lake this season and it seems prepos-
ferrous for anyone to assume to say
what my team shall be called or how
il shall be managed. We will be there
with the team when the time comes and
hold UP our end of the game"
Mr. Dubci says he has signed the
following players: James Smith, Ost-
Ter. Jensen. MaTgetts, Gum. Hall.
Hahn. Romney, Scare, StayneT, Swal-
berg.

Hamburg regatta last July, were barred

Amateur Oarsmen at a meeting of the
executive committee Of that Organiza-
ton held hereu tonight. The action of
Mulcahey and Varley, who cabled home
that they had won the race after hav-
ing been disqualified, was characterized
as reprehensible and their whole
course was declared to be unsports-
manlike. It was decided that the ma
tiOnal regatta this year shall be rowed
at Worcester, Mass, the dates being
Aug. 10 and H. number of other
regatta dates were also announced.
The executive committee received the
report of its investigating committee

charges affecting the amateur standing

committee OF the Vesper Boat club OF

nation of the course OF the committee
in connection with the trip to England
and of the several members of the crew
who admitted having received various
sums of money during their stay I'M

Henley. Before acting finally in the
matter the executive committee will
grant a hearing TO the oarsmen and
members Of the committee in Philadel-

and detailed account from its Henley

Better Glass of Billiards.

The class of billiards displayed in the
present tournament is several degrees
better than that of last year. The grand
average is several points above the 1905
point, while the high runs and single
average marks are greatly superior to the
best of last years play.
One of the surprising features of the
play has been the success of Gardner
in winning games. He has the third low
est grand average. He has played win
ming billiards all the time. showing ex-
ceIlent form against Demarest and Conk-
lin and falling very low against Norris
and Wright both Of whom, however, fell
still lower. Gardeners opponent as rule
have played their worst games against
him. which is partially explained by the
fact that he is one of the hardest men
in the tournament to play against.

played in four games. but lost them All
He still has another game to plav. He

who defeated the former champion by q
score of 800 TO 151. Demarest and Harry

excellent chance of their capturing most
of the other prizes. They will fight il
out in an extra game for third and fourth

now to be assured of the high run and
high grand average prizes. Wrights phe-

Wright is tied with Poggenburg. the high
