YANKEES TOO SLOW FOR TIGERS
BY Sam Crane. }

Another game dribbled away and
in very sloppy fashion.
Hughey Jennings and his Tigers
were very lucky to catch the Yankees
frayed at the edges and with heels
run down, and they were particular
ly fortunate to get away with yester-
days game. There is no excuse for
these Yankees, who were in the line
up Griffith was Obliged to present
yesterday, but the Detroits were the
lucky boys in having to face such a
patched up team.
Ginger fairly dubbed from the as
piring Tigers, while the Yanks for
six or seven innings played as if they
were participating in their own OBJ
sequies. And that is "whyfore" ex-
actly that they have no good excuse
to register for their defeat.
Surely AL. Orth pitched good
enough game, although he was stung
for ten hits. I consider that Orth
pitched splendid game, fully as
good as Donovan, although the latter
was touched up for but six hits.
Where Orth was good was in the
pinches and if his support had been
at all what it should have been he
would have walked away with his
game.
Just what caused the Yankees to
stub their mental toes and get tan
gled up in their mental pedals was
not chalked upon the score aboard, but

MORE GUSH ABOUT
WEALTHY JACK W6T
st. Joseph, Mich, Claims He Ono.
Lived There-fIis Ely
Mines.

Jack West, the alleged millionaire
from Ely, is in Michigan now, en-
deavoring to gain more notoriety.
His latest nonsensical remarks are
to the effect that he spent only S12.-
900 a day, and that he fears he will
not be able to expen6 ali his wealth
before he dies. He might help out
some of the poor newspapermen who
are sick of writing about his Scotty-
like action, if he is SO exceedingly
anxious to get rid of the gold" he
claims he took out of the copper
mines of Ely. The writer feels he
expresses the opinion of his fellow
scribblers when he states he could
make good use of some of the surplus
coin Jack West Is supposed to be
throwing to the bell hops and the
winds.
The following is the latest dispatch
sent out from ST. Joseph, Mich, con-
corning his career. 1t seems that
st. Joseph claims him. We of Ely
don't:
Jack West, former st. Joseph
boy, who has made himself a quad
ripple millionaire in the Nevada gold
fields, has SO much of it that he is
disguised with life because he can
not spend it. West returned to his
old home yesterday with his pockets
filled with one thousand dollar bills.
1.-The first thing he did when he
stepped off the boat was to begin ne
gotiations for the sale of the whole
city, and when told it was not for
sale, he began to flood the streets
with champagne, and set the urchins
of the city in a frenzy by rolling FIVE
dollar pieces down the pavement for
them to chase. Then he let the bell
boy at the Hotel Whitcomb carry
100000 in bills in his pocket for an
hour, just to see if he was honest.

West summoned his retinue and
hurried to the boat to return to Chi
cago. As soon as he boarded the
steamer he purchased the entire
stock of candy at the stands and
handed it out to the hundreds of
girls on the decks.
West, nine years ago was living
with his parents on farm ten miles
south of the city. The family moved
to Nevada, and was among the first
to strike it rich. The Vests now own
two mines near Ely, and the output
nets them several thousand dollars a
day"

FAMOUS FIGHTER HAS
ARRIVED IN RENO
Old-'rime Opponent And Veteran of
Many Fights And Wants To
Join Cans Camp.

Looking badly out of condition,
but not old in his thirty-two years of
life, and more than fifteen years of
ring experience, Martin Judge has
come to Reno expecting to meet Joe
Cans here. Judge figures that he
can join Cans camp If the negro and
Britt should come here to fight, and
| he feels that he is still able to make
the dusky Baltimorean hustle about
the gym.
Which ought to be true, as Judge
| is but year the senior of the world s
! champion.
Cans is well aware of the ability
of this sturdy ghter, as he has come
against him thrice in the ring for 20
rounds, and has been able to pull out
nothing better than decision in two
cases.
On January %, 1899, the two men
came together in the roped arena for
the first time. The meeting place
was Toronto. At the end of twenty
rounds Cans was given a none too
sure decision, as the sporting rec
ords show. The next time was at
Baltimore, Cans home, town on the
18th of September of the same year
Cans won in twelve rounds. They
met for the third and last time a lit
tie less than a month later, on Octo-
Der 1 18th, in the same city, Cans win
ming at the end of the twenty rounds.
Judge met Philadelphia Jack
OBrien for the first time on the 18th
of January, 1897, when the great
fakir was still young and honest in
the game The fight was in O'Brien's
home town, and went to a six-round
draw. On four subsequent occasions,
Judge fought OBrien to draw in
six rounds He also met him in a
ten-round contest, which likewise
went the limit without the referee
being able to decide who was the bet
ter man.
Judge has record mile long,
but he won't talk about it. The only
way to get at his record is to look
them up. He says he believes in his
fists and not in his past.
AT any rate, he has met Jack Han
ley on three different occasions in
Philadelphia, and has come out to
the good at the end of six rounds in
each case.
He beat Jim Driscoll in three diff
ferent six round goes in the Windy
