HAVE AUTOMOBILE MANIA
Lacking Machine, Boys Borrow
One and Are Arrested
for Theft.

Harry Simmons and Loren Brown
are in the city Jail for stealing an au-
tomobile. They were arrested yester-
day morning by Detectives Wilson and
Wheeling.
A few days ago a Cadillac automo-
bile belonging to W. L. Mas was ia
ken from in front of the Walker store
Soon after Simmons and Brown were
seen coming out of Liberty park with
the machine. The police began a
search for the two boys and found
them yesterday in the act of stealing
another car owned by W. H. Ellison.
When they were taken to the police
station they told conflicting stories.
1t developed that Simmons and
Brown had taken the machine, and
after driving around the city, took a
spin around Liberty park with some
friends. They then started to Ogden
with the machine. When they were a
few miles out of Pennington they saw
another auto coming toward them, and
fearing they might be detected, they
jumped out of the car and went to La
COON, returning TO Salt Lake by the
Salt Lake and Ogden railroad. The
machine was left in the road. They
made a partial confession to the de-
tectives. Yesterday afternoon they
were taken to Pennington by the de-
tecttVeS. and several persons identi-
fled them as the ones who had been
in the car that was left in the road.
Brown has not been in the hands of
the police before, but Simmons is an
old offender. The police say he is a
habitual thief. He served $50 DAYS in
Jail for robbing the Keith apartments,
and as soon as he completed that SEN
tence he, was in Jail again on a sixty
day sentence for stealing a saddle. He
only finished that sentence a few days
ago.

decades and the remaining one-third by
the half decade from 1850 to 1906. The
increase in number of publications, there
fore was twice as rapid during the last
five-yeaF period as during the TWO preVf-
Gus decades.
The changes in the proportions of morn
ing and evening newspapers were much
less rapid during the five years from 1890
to 1905 than during the previous decade
Morning newspapers increased IL per cent
in number, and evening newspapers 11.3
per cent, as compared with 81 per cent
and 55.2 per cent during the previous de-
cade. Thus, while the evening newspapers
continued to increase In number somewhat
faster than the morning newspapers, the
excess of the increase of the former over
the latter was but LIS in 1905, as COM
pared with 1.036 in 1900.

LATER DETAILS ABOUT
LEWIS AND SULLIVAN
Verdict Against Twin Very Unpopular
in DenveT-Philadelphian Couldn't
Block Right Cross.

DENVER, Col, Feb. 23.-Harry Lewis.
Of Philadelphia, was awarded a decision
over Mike C'Twin'O Sullivan at the
Coliseum Thursday night after ten
rounds of terrific milling, and in spite Of
the fact that Lewis entered the ring q
favOrite in the betting the decision net
with great disfavor by the 1900 spec
tators.
When the Philadelphian's arm was
raised by Referee Gallagher at the close
of the tenth round, during which period
Sullivan had shown considerable su-
periority. and had iabbed Lewis all
around the ring, Sullivan struck the Of
fetal in the face with his glove. The de-
cision was roundly hissed, and was ex-
tremely unpopular.
Lewis played for the body for the most
part and in the fourth and seventh
rounds landed with good effect Twin
was able to block most of his blows.
Sullivan's cleverneSs was a revelation
and he worked a right cross to the Jaw
that Lewis could not ward off
In the tenth round Mike got Lewis
against the ropes. and the two sIugged
away for a quarter OF a minute, Lewis
playing for the stomach and Sullivan
hooking vicious rights and lefts to the

DANIELS AND HANDY
WILL RACE TONIGHT
Crack Eastern and Western
Swimmers in Match 1000
yard Event.

NEW YORK. Feb. IA much dis
puted question as TO the swimming
supremacy between c. NJ. Daniels. OF
the New York Athletic Club. and H. J.
Handy. Of the Chicago Athletic Associa-
tion. will be definitely decided tonight at
the New York Athletic Club. when these
two men meet IN the thousand yard
match race.
Fasteners firmly believe that Daniels
will win easily, but that record will
be broken. They believe that Daniels
has never eXertCd himself. and that he
can swim 1000 yards faster than It was
ever swum before.
WesterneTs Also Confident.
Westerners. on the other hand. are
just as confident that Handy VIII win
the race. and they also are Of the opin-
ion that a record will be broken by
the winner In fact. experts say that
both men will complete the distance IN
better time than the present record Of
il minutes and seconds. held by
Handy.
This match race is sure to attract a
large crowd. for II has been hanging
fire for nearly a year. The men have
argued about their meeting, and the
admirers Of each swimmer have ac-
cused his opponent of being afraid to
risk a defeat by meeting him
Handy Looks in Condition.
When It was finally arranged that the
men should compete at the New York
Athletic Club. Handy wrote a long let
ter 20 Daniels, in which ne scored tHe
Mercury foot swimmer for taking ad-
vantage" Of him. Then the Chicagoan
went on to say that he knew he
couldn't be ir proper shape for the
race. but that he would swim anyhow.
His present excellent condition does
not bear out this fact. il Handy were
trained more, he would be Overtained
He proved his condition by defeating
three on Pennsylvania University's best
swimmers in a 600-yard race, IN which
he allowed his opponents 10 swim the
distance in relay. each man swimming
200 yards
Daniels has not said a word about the
match. The Mercury foot swimmer
probably believes that the best answer
TO Handy can be made in the tank,
and If ne defeats the Chicago man il
will be the best answer that he could
make.

Minor Leaguers Puzzled.

Two years ago the question was put
up 20 P. T. Powers, president Of the
Eastern League. and he decided that all
games in which more than one pitcher
oliciated Cor team, should be credited
TO the last twirler taking part in the
game. Last season the matter came up
again. and was referred 10 former Pres
ident Earry J. Taylor, who is probably
s:lI considering.
A suggestion has already been made
which, If adopted, may eradicate any
cause for future arguments in this di-
ractIOn- That is, TO place the power
Of decision up To the scorers Of the
games. 1t is claimed. by critics of the
sport, that q competent scorer who is
or the ground, cam best decide who IS
the winning or losing pitcher.
