Besides this, Sheridan won the worlds

MORRIS LEVY TALKS SCRAP
Passes Through City on His Way to
Coast-Promises Hyland
First Fight.

Morris Levy. the San Francisco fight
promoter, passed through Salt Lake yes
terday on his way from Denver to the Pa
cific coast. Levy had talk with Sammy
McClintic while in the city and promised
Sammy he would give Hyland a match in
January with the winner of the Cans Her
man fight at Tonopah this afternoon.
Should Levy not be successful i'm getting
the winners signature, he will secure
Britt for a fight with Hyland.
Levy is a member of the famous San
Francisco fight trust which has been the
cause OF the killing of the game in San
Francisco this year. The trust goes out of
existence today and Levy says from now
on each promoter will be able to do bust
ness as he sees fit and he expects there

Y.M.C.A. TEAM Wins, But,
The Other Fellow Gets Title on
Technically of the
A. A. IT

The Salt Lake Y NJ c. A. has the best
bunch OF athletes in the northwest Ac-
cording to Amateur Athletic union Of
ficials, Everett, Wash, has the best, but
the good old dope would show that the
latter town holds its honor on tech
nicality.
Salt Lake entered the Geographic con-
test with Seattle, Portland Tacoma,
Boise, Everett and Hoquim for an indoor
track meet, and when the results were
all in Salt Lake had q points and the
other six towns combined 10. In other
words the athletes of the local Y. M.
9. A scored two more points than the
combined teams of the towns. Then the
powers that be Of the northwest decided
that something must be done and Salt
Lake was disqualified because II was not
registered with the A. a. Y. The boys
Of the local association have the same
satisfaction. however, that Young COrbett
had when he defeated Terry McGovern.
The Brooklyn Terror exclaimed when he
saw C0rbett after the fight:
''Well, you did not win the feather
weight title and ! am still the chaTn
pion." To which Corbett replied.
THAT may be so, but when I walk
along the streets the people will saw.
There goes the fellow that licked Terry
McGovern.'"
So with the local Y. NJ. c. A: they NAV
not be the champions, but they are the
boys that licked the association which
claims the title.

DUE TO SKILLED LABOR

In the claim that the rapid growth
of this country's foreign trade is due
to trusts, no account is taken of the
superior workmanship of American
labor.
The main factor in the increasing
popularity of American products is
entirely overlooked.
The truth is that American goods
in many lines are the best in the
world because made by the world s
best wOrkmen. They win their way
through their own merit.
The claim of the trusts that it is
they who have conquered foreign
markets for American goods is an
insult to American labor. 1t is an
insOlent attempt to take to them
selves the credit that is due to work
men.
Trusts never created the superiori-
ty OF workmanship. On the con-
trary, the superiority of workman
ship has created trade advantage
that has made the great combina-
tions of capital possible.
