There will be a pairing of some of the

asked for waivers on Doc. Newton. who

made to get a new pitcher or two. and
there is some hope of landing Mueller,

he had to favor the bad limb. The

cides to Award Costly
Prizes.

The field day committee of the Dioc-
s Union met at the Institute last
night and decided to give gold medals
for first place prizes to each member
OF the winning relay team finishing
second.
In the ~schoolboys' relay silver and
bronze medals will be given to the men,
bers of the winning team.
No entrance fee will be asked in the
~schoolboys' relay race, and from reports
fifteen or twenty teams will run.
The managers of the various teams
expressed hope of producing excellent
teams.
None of the older athletes seem anx-
ious to run but all the teams have been
recruited from the schoolboys' meet,
and an excellent program can be ex-
pected.
The manager of Hillside Park has
assured the committee that the track
will be put in excellent condition for
the games.
All competitors this year must have

Veteran Gets Information That
Promoters FIXED" the
First Fight.
BY OLD SPORT.

What do you think of this? Battling
Nelson never fouled Joe Cans in their
first battle of forty-two rounds! On
the contrary. Cans repeatedly fouled
Nelson. and while the latter requested
poor old George Siler, who refereed
that fight, to stop the negro, Kbddo,
the story goes, that no attention was
paid to the Battler's request.
If any of our local sports got out on
the -Four Corners and told this story,
you would see Mike Tully calling for
the hurry-up wagon to take the speak
er away. Yet this Is the story some
sports tell you. They say more thai
this. They come right out and declare
that the officers of the Goldfield club
had every dollar bet oil Cans to win.
and no matter what happened, Nelson
wasn't to come In first.
I asked a sport once: do you think
George Siler was a party to the deal?
Wasn't he an honest referee" 1
couldn't help asking this question for
Siler was honest, and Siler is dead.
and none out the living can speak for
him now. An old newspaper man.,
Siler gained his public limelight in the
sporting world because of his honesty
in speech and his all the time honesty
of urpos Siler was a man who was
called into the fighting game; he didn't
seek the position of an Eddie Graney.
