Observation-Disclosures Leaque.

While Salt Lake has been left out in
the cold for three years, Butte has been
hanging onto to its franchise by the
merest thread. At the recent meeting,
Butte, as expected, was dropped and
now the Montana town will have TO con-
tent itself with brush league baseball,
the same as Salt Lake has had to do for
the past three years. Butte is good
baseball town. and the fans Will not
take kindly to the change. but so far as
the writer can see, they Will have to.
Some might suggest a league comprised
of Utah. Idaho and Montana towns;
and already an effort has been made to
start a movement in this direction. 1t
might be accomplished, but personally,
the writer does not think such league
could ever live under the heavy expense
il would be placed under. Butte and
Salt Lake are the only two cities that
would pay expenses, and these two
towns would have to carry the league
They are not large enough TO do so, and
those who would spend money and time
to start such an organization would see
the league fail for lack Of funds before
the sea son was two months Old. This
is the opinion of the writer on such a
league. but in this world we are all La
BILE to be mistaken. Should any ambi-
tious masnate care to start such
league, that person will be given all the
support possible and it can be said also
that he will have the best wishes of
every fan in this state for success.

Next Big Battle.

The next big attraction in the ring
takes place on Tuesday, when Billy
Papke, the late middleweight champion,
hooks up with Hugo Kelly for a ten
round go at Los Angeles. In spite of
the fact that neither man is cham
pion. yet both are close enough to the
title 10 make the fight between them
one of national interest. Both men have
had the distinguished honor of know
ing how it feels to be knocked out by
the Montana wonder. Stanley Ketchel,
SO that they are even as far as this
point is concerned. The recent defeat
of Papke at the hands of Ketchel does
not seem to have affected his standing
as a fighter much. as he is now rated as
a strong favorite in the betting at odds
of 10 to I.
This is TO be the third meeting be-
tween Papke and Kelly. The latter had
been out of the game for over a year
previous to the first meeting, yet held
the Illinois man TO a draw. In their
second session Papke won d hair-line
decision Both We're ten-round affairs
while the one next Tuesday is to be
over a twenty five-round route. The
winner Of this bout may lay claim to
the middIeweieght championship if
Stanley Ketchel sticks to his determine
ton TO not fight as a middleweight
again, but to enter the heavyweight di-
vision.

Hackenschmidt's yellow Streak.

Frank Gotch. the chamnion of the
world, is on his way home from Eng
land a much disguised champion.
Gotch made the trip abroad for the
avoWed purpose of seeking a match
with Hackenschmidt The famous Rus
sian wrestler was always ready with
excuses when it came to signing arti-
cles for a match. until Gotch finally be-
came disguised with him ana returned
home.
II will be remembered that ar the
time of their match in Chicago, Hack
enschmidt. backed by few Anglo
maniacs of this country, claimed he
was robbed by the Americans. The
English press took up Hackenschmidt'
side of the argument. and for months
hurled their slurring articles at Gotch
and the Americans in general. Hack
enscbInidt appeared al the London mu-
sic halls as a hero who had been robbed
OF his honors Now notice the differ
ence in the attitude of Gotch. After
making Underestimate quit cold in his
Chicago match Gotch was convinced
he could do it again. In order to show
his confidence in his ability, the Iowa
farmer went to London and there. in
the "enemy's" country. challenged the
defeated man to another match. The
beaten lion, however. had nothing but
excuses to offer until Sporting Life, one
of the leading English sporting jour-
nails, which had been holding forfeit
of Hackenschmidt's for return match,
posted on Hacks return from America,
returned the money and, in disgust, an
nounced that it would not any longer
recognize HackenschmidJ's claims
Gotch, thoroughly convinced that Hack
enschmidt was the quitter he showed
himself at Chicago. packed his belong
ings and returned TO America.
