ManteII's Defeat a Surprise.

The defeat of Frank ManteH by
Harry Lewis at New Haven on Thurs
day night viii come as a serious set
back to the popular Providence fight
er, who numbered his friends by the
hundreds in Salt Lake. The full de-
tails of the fight are not at hand, but
II is just possible Mantell was over
confident and did not protect himself
as he should in facing a man like
Lewis. Since Mantell defeated Honey
Melody, the former Salt Laker has
been anxious to get to. the top at once
and, against the advice of friends.
went after the best men in the game
instead of going easy and gaining ex-
perience by more fights with second
raters, as he should have done. Man
tell is comparative youngster in the
game, and is not, therefore, as good a
man as he will be in a couple of years
from now. In ali probability he will
seek another match and. if he does, he
is liable to give Lewis much harder
fight than he did this time

S P O-R.T- O. O. G-Y
BY w. D. RISHEL.

Many cycle fans are wondering what
the effect on the game the coming sea-
son with two saucer tracks calling for
the patronage of the public instead of
one There is no question but that
Salt Lake is great cycling center; and
will support the game, but whether it
can stand the drain of two tracks is
question. 1t stands to. reason that both
the Salt Palace and Saltair tracks will
use their best efforts to attract the
public to their races. Each track must
promote at least two meets a week to
make a fair interest on the investment.
Now, will Salt Lake stand for four
race meets a weeka 1t failed to stand
for three at the Salt Palace, and will
now be called upon to go one more by
the erection of a new track at Saltair.
So far it is given out that the two
tracks will be run in conjunction with
each other, but it is hard to see how
the patronage of two meets a week can
be divided between two tracks with four
meets a week and make a go of it.
Will the Salt Palace be willing to al
low half of its former patronage to go
to Saltair without making a fight? And
if it does make a fight can it win out
against the new track? These are
questions which fans are asking each
other every day. The bike riders are
setting back and watching the con-
struction of the new track with glee,
as it means more races and. therefore,
more money. The success of the two
tracks can be better told by the time
July rolls around and until that time
it is hard to tell what will happen

CHANGE MADE IN
FORWARD PASS
Effort Made to Eliminate Pres
emf FIuke Victory in
Football.

New York. Jan 25.-Important changes
in the rule governing the forward pass
play. which will prove of-advantage to
weaker teams, and other football legis-
latiOn. were made by the Intercollegiate
football rules committed which concluded
its sessions here tonight
The new rule on the play of the for
ward pass covers the Illegal touching of
the ball. When illegally touched the
side making the illegal play loses the
b; II to its opponents on the spot from
which the pass was made. According to
the new rule only the man of the passers
side who first legally touches the ball
may hereafter take until il has been
touched by an opponents II the forward
pass IS legally touched and then free and
is then touched by another player of the
passer's side the bail goes to the OppO-
nents at the spot where touched.
The committee cdeisidered the question
of defensive tactics in connection with
the forward pass. and It was decided that
while the forward pass is in the air the
players of the defensive side may not
use their hands or arms on their OppO-
nents except TO push them out of the way
to get at the ball. In order to eliminate
hololng and tackling II is provided that
the players of the side making the Tor
ward pass, who are eligible to receive
the pass may use their hands and arms
just the same way that players go down
under the kick
A new rule was passed making the in
PERMISSION between the halves of he
game fifteen minutes. a delay OF two
minutes beyond that time gives the ball
to the field. which may then place the
ball on the thirty-yard line of the offend
ing eleven Another rule adopted pro
vides that all forfeited games hereafter
are to score as l TO o.
The committee passed a rule that all
penalties, except in the case of man
disqualified. may be declined by the ~,
Tending side. IN the future the field
judge will act as timer instead of the
lineSmen.

FIGHT TRUST IS BUSTED
Big Four Who Controlled Game in
Frisco Is Now Out in

San Francisco, Jan. 25.-Chairman stat
ford of the police committee of the board
of supervisors made an announcement
yesterday which is of interest to all low
ers of boxing. 1t Is important from the
fact that 1t is the first statement which
bears the earmarks of being official as to
the attitude the new board will take to
ward the popular sport. Ever since the
legislature passed the law licensing box
ing, regulation Of the same has been left
to the tender mercies of the police com
mittee. Hence anything Chairman Stat
ford may have to say comes hot off the
bat At the outset he avOWed that none
of the lamented fight trust would be al
lowed permits this year. which means that

ors have reasons to believe that any of

the clubs their licenses will be revoked.

Job for Willie Hoppe.

The statement that Willie Hoppe has
returned from Europe for the purpose
of breaking into the billiard game in
this country may put "a crimp INTO the
SIosson and Schaeffer combination who
are touring the country playing fer
championships. This pair Of experts
have arranged two titles, the IS.1 and
1872 balk line, and divided honors SO
each can carry a title. They manage
to break even in the games played and
at once hike to another city to have
another whirl at each other. There are
some who have watched this combina-
ton for some time who say the result $
of these games are always known be
fore the match is made, and that IT is
about time someone should step in and
stop this sort of horse play. Hoppe
has the chance to do so, AMI if there
is anything doing between Schaeffer
and SlossOn, he should show the COM
bination up to the American public

JOB FOR WARDEN CROAAR
Charged That Game Law Is Being
Violated by Fishermen
Of TOopou
Especial to The Herald

Logan. JAN 25.-The manner in which
the game law is being violated in this
section is causing much unfavorable COM
ment. The law passed last winter pro-
hibits fishing in the ponds above the
Telluride and city dams in Logan Cam
Won. and the greater part of the local
fishing fraternity respect the law, but
there is and has been for some time a
camp of fishermen in the canyon near
these dams and the men fish at night
catching great quantities and marketing
them at local hotels and restaurants. The
county game commissioner is paid a mere
pittance and nothing can be expected
from him in the way of stopping this
practice, and in consequence the state
warden may be appealed to.
