With Shifty Heavy

1t is not beyond the bounds of possi-
bilities that Tommy Burns and Jim
Flynn of Pueblo, Colo, may sign arti-
cles today for a 20-round go before the
Pacific Athletic club, the bout to occur
September IS.
AL Kaufman appears to be follow
ing in the footsteps of the celebrated
Jack O'Brien, and to date nothing has
been heard which would lend color to
his sincerity as regards match with
Burns. Kaufmann has done so much
side stepping within the past few
weeks that Manager McCarey, as well
as Burns, is rapidly becoming dis
gusted.
Before he consents to signing with
Flynn Burns wishes a $4,000 guarantee
and per cent for making the match.
Flynn has not as yet agreed to the
proposition, but may guarantee $4,000
gate today. Flynn is the light heavy
weight who secured draw with Jack
"Twin" Sullivan about a month ago
and is rated something of conner by
those who have witnessed him in action.
He is matched to box twenty rounds
with the Cripple Creek heavyweight,
William Morgan, at Pueblo, Labor day.

When seen last night prior to her de-

English and American women expon-
ents of the art together, Miss Sutton
said:
81 do not know that very definite

tition for women for trophy similar
to the Davis cup but every one inter-
ested in bringing It about is hopeful Of
success, and the players themselves
are anxious for a chance to play.
Frankly, l must admit that think
the English women are a little too
strong for us. Certainly Miss Doug
lass proved her superiority over us in
the championship this year, although
am hopeful Of regaining the title

more women players in England than

PUTNEY, Eng, Aug. 29.-On an ebb

morning in 20 minutes seconds. This
is 21 seconds slower than Harwards s
time yesterday afternoon.
The Harvard men were somewhat ia
vored by a following wind, but the
Cambridge crew had the advantage of
being paced during the last half mile
by Leander crew.
Stewart set the stroke at SO on start
ing, but after two miles it had drop

lied and finished strong with a stroke
of 36.
The Harvard men were only out for
a quarter of an hour this morning and
were mostly engaged in padding,
though they had a minute burst from
the stake boat, doing S5 strokes to the
minute.
The result of Cambridge's trial this
morning was distinctly disappointing
to the supporters Of the home crew,
and Harvard stock went up several
points. The Cambridge men them
selves were quite disappointed and as
the result of a short consultation after
the trial they decided to Immediately

YOUNG ATHLETE
PASSES AW WAY
HIRAM sHoLEs DIES AFTER LONG
ILLNESS
Deceased Prominent Track Man of
Southern California, Winning
Laurels at Words
Fair

The death of Hiram Sholes which
occurred as a result of a cancer at
the California hospital yesterday,
marked the passing of an athlete who
had gained renown upon the cinder
paths of California.
Hirams death comes as a shock to
countless friends to whom he had en-
deared himself by reason of singular
ly quiet and sincere disposition which
realized no limits when a kindly act
or word might be turned.
Talented and popular, the deceased
was held in the highest esteem by
faculty members and students of the
Los Angeles high school from which
institution he was to have graduated
with the class of 1906 illness forcing
him to a discrimination of his schol-
astic studies.
Mr.. Sholes' death indirectly resulted
from strained leg tendon sustained
during championship races held at the
st. Louis fair. The injury developed
during the past two years and Hiram
was obliged to refrain from active par
ticipation in athletics
The young athlete was among the
most skillful basketball players OF
Southern California and after retiring
from the game coached several teams
of young women representing southern
high schools.
brother, William Sholes, is prom
inent among the academic athletics of
the south and holds an amateur cham
pionship of the United States.
