HAS BIG FIGHT
BEEN FRAMED?
Tad Does Not Like the Outlook
for the Berger-0'Bri
Fight.
BY TAD.

Does this coming Berger-O Brien
match out west look on the level TO your
Last night in a well known uptown cafe
there was long talk on this go.
One of the older sitters and who has
followed the game through many storms
was the questlcner. and when we all an
swered Yes he let fly with both bar
relS and convinced most of us that there
might be something doing and that the
match was sure to come Off
In the first place, said the Old sport
sitting back where he could view the
bunch, these fellows are grafterS pure
and simple. Neither O. Brien nor Berger
want to show what they can do, do they?
IF they were offered jobs ON the stage
tomorrow they would take them. hey?
They are out for the money the easiest
way they can get it. 1t is money, money,
money. There is no other idea than that.
20 Brien is as clever fellow as you
ever saw, isn't he? Berger never fought
a professional. Do you think it is pos
sble for clever, experienced man like
% Brien to be jabbed and outpunched By
d mere amateur? Take IL as you like
Billy Rodenbach, the middleweiSht
champion OF the amateur DIVISION beat
Berger SO badly in San Francisco in 4
four-round bout that Eddie GTaney was
forced 10 hand the decision to Billy.
Jim Casey. the Irishman, who was
sparring partner for old Fitz, banged
Berger all over the ring out there IN q
four-round bout Referee Billy Roche
decide against the native son and de-
clared it a draw, robbing Casey.
Now. these were the late battles Der
ger had before he met O'Brien- Do you
think that this same Berger could hon.
estly punch O Brien from corner TO cor
ner?
did O'Brien look forward to return
match in the west after Berger had beer
heralded as a worlds champion? Is San
/ Francisco to get another lemon like the
Britt-Gans fake?
I'VE saw Berger outlook Brien IN
Philadelphia. There was a big hurrah anG
both went on the stage. They died out
sfter a while and signed articles for an
other fight Interest died again and once
more they signed. Why is it that o Brier
/ is so anxious to get on with Berger wher
he can get more money meeting either
| Johnson or Burns? Why is it that Der
ger will not listen TO fight from anyone
/ but OBrien? Is the thing fixed up? Dl
/ they understand one another
There is no title TO be fought for, there
/ is no glory to be won by either in this
! fight. VIII il go the limit. cut the purs'

SALT LAKE Wins
SOCkER GAME
Teams Not Up to the Standard
Played Last Spring in Sc
rieS for State Cup.
BY JOHN MORGAN.

Only meager attendance witnessed the
first socker league match of the season
at Walkers yesterday The home club
played it's cup team intact while Eureka
arrived four men short and played four
substitutes, which disarrangedS their for
ward line and played havoc with their
team work. Play was good only at times.
while in many cases il was wretched.
Both teams fairly failed TO play up 10
their regulations. Much erratic kicking
was seen. The BAH was too much i'm the
air, and combination or what little there
was of it finally gave way 10 the kick
and rush tactics. Both teams will have
to give a far better display if they mean
to establish the dribbling game on u firm
basis in this intermountain. country
Both contestants were equally lacking in
training. Salt Lake finally came out
victor in a very mediocre game by five
goals 10 two For the Victors Sanford at
back and the left wing. Churchill ana
! Adamson, were the most prominent play
ers while for Eureka the two fun backs.
Hobbs at half and Herring ia the forward
| line, were the most conspicuous players.

accepted as being the man nearest the
weight of Hardin.
Bean yesterday received a telegram ask

Denver in First Big Game
of the Season.
Especial to The Heraid.)

Denver. Oct. 6.-Fumbling marred Ihe
game between Denver university and the
University of Colorado at Boulder to-
day. Denver university was stronger in
the back field. while Colorado had the
stronger line. The one score made was
on a kickoff ball that struck the ground
and was picked up by Moore of Colorado
and carried over the line. Both teams
lost several good chances to kick goals
from the field.
Line bucking was ineffective. first

tactics of this kind. The Denver univer-
sity gained twenty yards once on "A for
ward pass clear over the heads of those
i'm the scrmmage, and Colorado made
fifteen yards once the same way. All
other attempts of the kind resulted in
losses because of fumbles. Denver lost
much ground by failing to have its backs
far enough back TO receive punts. The

yesterday Utah did some fine offensive
work but their defense was not so good,
and several times they allowed their
lighter opponents to pierce their line for
small gains. but most of these were made
while the scrubs were in the game. The
soldier team even gave them somewhat
less trouble than the cOllegians. The All
HallowS did some good tackiing and held
the L men back fairly well and played
q much more consistent game than last
