PARKER LOOKS
TOWARD DENVER

Kid Parker has received an Of
fer to box at Denver, Colo, during
the Elks' carnival there and 1t is
possible his opponent will be either
Maurice Thompson of Butte or Jack
O'Keefe of Chicago. Parker an
swered that he was satisfied with
either one of these men, or anyone
else; but he preferred Thompson
because he wanted TO retrive him
self for the knockout administered
by the Butte boy.
1t is not so very long ago Parker
was the idol of the people of Den
yer and he draws crowds about
him in that town like a champion
doees. This Is welcome news to
Parker's friends, as 1t means a
good, fat purse Parker always
makes a good fight, and win or
lose, Denver people would rather
see him fight than almost any other
boxer in the business.

John Wagner, better known as
Honus Wagner, the hard hitting in
fielder of the Pittsburg team,
broke into professional baseball
about II years ago. His home was
in Carnegie, Pa, and he had been
playing on the back lots for some
time. An outfielder was needed by
the Independent teeam at Steuben-
vile, o.. and someone who had
seen Wagner play recommended
him to the Steubenville manage
ment. A telegram was sent to
Wagner offering him 500 a month
to play and asking him if he would
cocme for that sum. Would he
come? He didn't know there was
so much money loose in the coun-
try. OF course he would come.
A message was flashed back to
him, Come on the first train"
Wagner hustled to the depot and
the first train" happened to be
freight, though there was a pas
senger train an hour later which
would have landed him in Steuben-
vile much sooner than the freight.
But orders were orders-the mes
sage said "the first train" and so
Wagner boarded the freight. He
landed in Steubenville in the course

where it bagged below the knees.
"You are a WONDER" said the

Moving pictures portraying the
San Francisco fire and the ruins
wrought by the earthquake and the
flames were shown at the Columbia
theater for the first time yesterday
afternoon, and succeeded in attract
ing a large audience to that theater,
The views are very good and give
a clear idea of conditions in the
stricken city at the time of the
great disaster.
The views show the flames when
they have reached their highest
point and also show the ruins of the
public buildings and the chief
streets after the fire.
