BOWLING
THE CASINOS
 ARE CHAMPIONS
Easily Defeat the WoOsters in the Final Game : Records of the
 Players.

It was only natural that the alleyu which have been the popular ones of the city during the winter months should be the winner of the cham pionship of the city in the last big game of this season. The Casino bowlers have been putting up remark ably fast games and have demonstrat- ed on several occasions that they had the goods and could deliver them building was crowded last evening with bowling enthusiasts who were there to back their favorites in the winding up of the championship. it was the final clash between the Casinos and the Woosters and when the last pin had been bowled over tk was seen that the Casino boys had the victory cinched with a record of seven wins to three for their opponents. Much money changed hands on the result of the game and the Casino packers took everything in sight. Eddie Curley was high man for the Casinos with a mark of 23s and Bob Stone led the Wooster forces with 195.
 The championship was won last year by the Nosahogan lodge team. The following are the ofncial records of the players in the ten games bowled and the averages of each as well as the result of games bowled last night.

In order to show just how fast and clever a boxer he is Bill Squires, the Australian heavyweight, was called on to box Jimmy Britt, the light weight, three one-minute rounds. Moving pictures were taken and will be shown around Frisco.
 All the sports who witnessed the exhibition were pleased with the way in which SQuires boxed.
 There is no doubt but that the Australian has had more free press notices than any other fighter who ever came over here. and the Ameri- can public has shown great patience in waiting for him to pick out what he might consider a lemon They don't care anything about pictures of him boxing with lightweight--they want him to fight.

THE PUGILISTS OLD TIMER
 PASSED AWAY
Barney Aaron One of the Old School is Dead John [. Has Gone
 Into Retirement.

Barney Aaron is dead. He was the last living one of Owney Geoghe- gan's boys. For a year the old fighter has been in poor health and at that time he went to Long Island institution, where he died Sunday. He was one of those who met all corners in the good old bare knuckle days on the Bowery in New York when Park Row was a mass of disreputable resorts. Most of his fights were fought in the old Hous- ton street pit He added to his Bowery fame by one of the fiercest knuckle fights of that day in 1878. after seventeen rounds. He had one last fling at the ring when he was 70 years old. The veteran was pitted against Dooney Harris, an other sprightly featherweight of fewer years, at the quiet old Broad way Athletic club, where the health department now is. It was to be "a nice quiet "go," quite suited to the gray hair of the veterans. Harris got enthusiastic and pounded Bar ney, like yearly, but to the regret of the crowd the referef's whistle sounded and blocked a knockout. k John L. Sullivan is now trying the secluded life. He has been living quietly in New York, and yesterday started for West Baden, Ind. Only his most intimate friends knew he was in New York.
 T just wanted to look at Broad way a couple of times before went into retirement" he said to his friends.
 Sullivan last appeared in public with the Colonial Bellies, burlesque show, which closed at the Dewey Saturday night. He left the con- pany, however, in Washington and came to New York.
 Golf Phillips. stopping at the Sar- anac, who was with Sullivan in the Colonial Belles and who came to New York with him, says the ex- champion is in poor health and VIII try to build himself up at the springs. Phillips. who has trained with Sullivan, is a fighter himself and is now looking for fights in New York.

More Athletes the Object.

Colorado Springs.-Colorado College
has decided to enlarge its physical
training department to meet the grow
ing need in the West for a school in
which teachers may get systematic
training in physical education. This
phase of the college has been increas-
ing steadily during the asst three
years under the direction of Miss
Woodsmall. and now represents an i'm
portant part of the life of the young
women of the college. The college
possesses a ~splendidly equipped gym
nasium and also a girls athletic field,
which was the gift last year of the
e~ver-present friend of the college,
General Palmer. The field is unique
in its facilities for both track athletics
and regular gymnasium work, making
it possible to conduct the gymnasium
classes out of doors during the
greater part of the winter.
Heretofore the department has en-
braced a four years course in prac-
teal gymnastics, which is required of
all the college women. The new line
of work. which is elective, will be dis
tinctly in the nature of a normal
school, under the direction of Miss
Woodsmall.
Instruction will be given in the the
DRY of gymnastics and methods of
teaching. The new courses will meet
the growing demand felt in the public
schools of this and surrounding states
for teachers who are not only equipped
in their special lines, but qualified to
give instruction in physical training.
Only a few institutions of the West
prominent among which is the Univer-
sity of Nebraska, have such a normal
course in physical education.

No Where to Lay His Head.

The Baptists of Denver have been
interested in the case of Rev. Charles
St. Clair Mathews, who is serving a
sentence III the county Jail for va
grancy, and an effort is being made
to raise sufficient money L send him
back TO his family in Hays City, Kan
sas. as soon as he is able to travel.
Rev. Mr.. Mathews is said to have
served in the Baptist ministry for
many years, but contracted the NOR
bhine habit sixteen years ago while he
was suffering from typhoid fever. He
was eventually cured of the use of this
drug. and in its stead he resorted to
the use of whisky as a stimulant. He
came to Denver hoping to take up his
life work. but was found by the police
under such conditions that he was
committed as a %vagrant.
Secretary w. E. Collett of the Colo
RADIO Prison Association. who investi-
gated the case. is assisting Mathews to
regain his freedom and secure funds
with which to leave the city.

Twin Lakes Controversy to Go Up.

Denver.-The controversy over the
fishing privileges on Twin Lakes will
probably go up to the Supreme Court
for settlement. A lengthy hearing was
had before State Game and Fish Com
missioner Farr but no matter how he
may decide, the dispute will probably
be taken to the high tribunal.
The Twin lakes have been a resort
for the people of Leadville and towns
of that section for many years. The
Twin Lakes Reservair Company, rep
resented by w. l.. Hartman, endeav-
ored to make the lakes a private pre-
serve. claiming that it owned the
greater part of the and about the wa
tiers. The company recently obtained a
ten-year fishing license on the lakes
from Secretary of State O'Connor.
Among those who appeared yesterday
to protest was the Sportsman's Club
of Leadville. a number of leading citi-
zens of that place and Senator Teller
of Denver.

May Have Eloped With Halfbreea.

Fort Collins, Colo.-The disappear
ance of James Pedigo, a wood hauler
at Bellevue, coincident will that of Liz,
gie Dixon, daughter of the late John
b. Provost, a Larimer county pioneer,
has given rise to a rumor of an elope-
ment.
Pedigo left his home several days
ago. A letter was received by his
wife, dated at Loveland, in which he
stated that he would not return, but
that he had left the deed to their home
in the house and a deposit of $500 in a
Fort Collins bank for her account. He
gave no reason for leaving and Mrs.
Pedigo can advance none.
Lizzie Provost, as she was com
monty known. left Bellevue severay days
before Pedigo. There has never been
more han a casual acquaintance be
tween them and friends do not believe
that the two left by agreement, or hat
they are now together.
Lizzie Provost's father was a trap
per who came to the Poudre valley
with the first white settlers. Follow
ing a common practice among trap
perS. he married a squaw, in order to
get on better terms with the Indians.
In later years he cast off his Indian
wife Ind she and her daughter, Lizzie,
Joined their tribe at the Pine Ridge
agency. Some years ago Lizzie re

Married William Dixon of Fort Col
Inns, from whom she has since been
divorced.
Mrs. Pedigo is under the constant
care of a physician, as a result of the
shock incident to the disappearance of
her husband.
William Dixon. the former husband
OF the missing woman, says he has no
knowledge of her whereabouts.

The Political Pot.

Lincoln, Neb.-ln a statement made
In Bryan's Commoner, under the head
ing Government Ownership Not An
ISSUE Mr.. Bryan says:
Government ownership is not an i'm
mediate issue. A large majority of the
people still hope for effective regula-
ton. While they SO hope they will not
consider ownership. While many Dem
ocrats believe in, and Mr.. Bryan is
one of them. that public ownership of
railroads is the ultimate solution of
the problem, still those who believe
that the public will finally, in self-de-
Tense, be driven to ownership. realize
that the regulation must be tried I'M
der the most favorable circumstances
before the masses will be ready to try
a more radical remedy.
Regulation cannot be sufficiently
tried within the next year. There is
no desire anywhere to make govern
ment ownership an issue in 1908. Mr..
Bryan fully agrees with those who be-
ieve that 1t be unwise to turn atten-
ton from regulation on which the peo-
pie are ready to act, to government
ownership, upon which the people are
ready to act. To inject the govern
ment ownership question into the next
campaign would simply give represen-
tatives Of the railroads a chance to
dodge the issue and deceive the pub
lic."

Pueblo. Sir Dwight Lawrence
Bathurst, baronet of Lechlade, who I'M
I'll d lew months ago was a clerk n
the Pueblo postofice. will leave for
England. where he expects to settle
the estate to which he is heir. After
Il ten-year fight the English authorities
have recognized the Pueblo man as
the rightful claimant to the title.
Ba'hurst's attorney recently re-
oeivod an offer to compromise for ST..
100000. and probably will accept. as t
viii be years before he can gain pos
session of the estate through the
courts.
Shortly before his death the father
OF Bathurst told his son that some
kind of a Bathurst estate awaited a
claimant in England, but could give no
detailed information. Bathurst was
then in Nevada. He commenced the
investigation by correspondence. and
after writing 1000 letters was still far
from the object of his search. He then
travelled extensively, and finally sue

cestry.
One of his relatives, who was a reliG-
lous fanatic, tore up the paper which
would have proved the claim, saying
that If the Bathursts got the money
they would go TO hell. Bathurst says
that he will return to this country 20
