are permitted. The manager of that
contest, whoever he may be, is the man
who is to blame for the fiasco. He
should have protected the public by
compelling these men to sign articles
whereby there would be nothing doing
at the box office, if there were any
fouling The public does not pay 10 see
two men get up and box a little. and
then end it by hitting low, which in
jures no one but ends the fight with
out hurting either mans reputation or
anatomy. No matter whether it is
premeditated or not, the men do not
give the people a run for the good
money they in good in faith put up to
see the go The principals in this case
are a couple of third or fourth-raters,
of whom no one ever heard. The re-
ports of the fight say the men want to
meet again for big side bet TO settle
it. From this distance it looks as
though another lemon were being
framed. and the sports of Bingham
have no one 10 blame but themselves
if they are taken in again.
City Sportsmen Pay the Bills.
Although State Game Commissioner
Cromar has not yet received the full
reports from the various deputy war
dens throughout the state, the reports
now at hand indicate that Salt Lake
for furnished nearly One-third the Ii
cense money collected by the state for
the first year of the state license. The
total amount will be little over 500
000 giving Salt Lakes share at nearly
$1,000. For years the rural districts
have fought the so-called city sports
men," yet it is the same city sports
men" who are responsible for pushing
the law through that taxed them to
hunt and fish. These same city
spOrtsmen" are now paying one-third
of the total amount of money received,
and are glad to get the chance. This
money is enough to run the entire fish
and game department of the state. If
properly handled. and i'm a short time
it should greatly ADD TO the stock of
fish and game in the state. The rural
hunters, who from their residence are
on the shooting and hunting ground
the year around, get the benefit of this
increase, which the city sDortsmen, if
one include the larger towns of the
state, are practically paying for. And
there viii be no kick on the part of the
city sportsmen, either.

BASEBALL LAW
AS IT STANDS
National Commission Gives
Its Reasons for Baking on
Third Chicago Club.

Cincinnati, O.. Jan. 18.-Although the
decision of the national baseball COM
mission on the various resolutions pre-
scented by the American association
was announced at the time Of the an
nual meeting last week the full ex-
plantations of the reasons for their ac-
tiOns was not given until today, when
the finding was formally promulgated.
Regarding the request for endorsement
in the attempt to place an American
association club in Chicago, after stat
ing that the subject was not within he
jurisdiction Of the commission, the Re-
port says:
The commission. however, is pre-
pared at this time to go on record as
being opposed without qualification. ID
d territorial infringement Of this Kid.
and will strongly recommend that The
petition be denied. The foundation
upon which organized baseball rests
today is the respectiOn of territorial
rights. the enforcement of all colF
tracts; the reservation of players ara
the opportunity provided for players II
advance in their profession and receive
adequate compensation for their ser
vices. The encroachment upon either
of these provisions would be like pull
ing the cornerstone from its fOunda-
ton. If one league would have the
right to encrOach upon the territory OF
another. then all leagues must have
the same right. If such condition
existed, nothing but chaos and disaster
would follow"
The reason given for opposing the
change in the classification of the Pa
ciic Coast league and others is that
when the Pacific Coast league was adj
111iffad IN Orpq ufZad Ia eeha1T WAS
distinctly agreed that il should De a
class A league. So far as the otne~
leagues mentioned, the Southern and
Western, are concerned, the National
Association of Minor Leagues is said
to have full authority

KNOCKOUT KILLS SAILOR
Engage in Fist Fight, Then Settle
Differences With the
Gloves.

Newport. r. l.. Jan. 1S.-Foliowing
fist fight last Tuesday on board the
United States training ship Cumberland
al this port, H. A. Hartnett, aged %
years, of Philadelphia, naval appren-
tice. died today. D. NJ. Manning. 20
years old, of Middletown n. Y. also
an apprentice, is under a sentry's
charge pending an investigation into
Hartnett's death.
Hartnett, who had been appointed an
acting master at arms, had trouble
with Manning. When the days duties
were over, the boys put On gloves and
began a battle, which by agreement was
to go ten rounds.
With a crowd of 800 apprentices and
seamen as witnesses, the fight was a
hard one from the outset. In the eighth
round Manning caught Hartnett on the
jaw, sending the older boy to the deck.
Hartnett took the count of ten, and
when his seconds went to his side they
found him unconscious. The usual first
aid employed in such emergencies failed
to bring him to his senses, and he was
removed to the sick bay. There every
effort was made to revive him, but
without success. Today Hartnett died
without having recovered consciousness.
Death was due TO a blood clot on the
BRAIN

MILLIONS FOR
AUTOS THIS YEAR
American Manufacturers Say
More Machines Will Be Sold
Than Ever Before.

That one hundred million of dollars
will be spent in America this year for
$4,000 automobiles is the estimate of
American manufacturers. Four mil
lions dollars was spent by Americans
in 1907 for the ,1.176 cars of foreign
manufacture. That's the relative value
placed upon the imported cars as shown
by the American preference.
The growth of the manufacturing in
dustry in automobiles in America dur
ing the last five years has been SO phe-
nOmenally large that it is only when
one considers the figures that the real
interest-it may well be called a pas
sionate interest-appears.
No other form of sport is as costly.
for the hundred millions represents
only a part of the real expense, which
includes the cost of chauffeurs, repairs
and incidentals. These easily figure up
$25, 600, 900 more. And the life of an
auto is only about five 10 eight years.
Gain in Past Six Years.
1t was only about six years ago that
the manufacture of automobiles was
attempted on a large scale in America.
Yet in 1904 there were 21.692 cars
manufactured here, of which 1852
were of the gasoline type. OF the tota!
number 1871 were runabouts and
