OFFERS FOR GAMES
COMING IN STRONG
Utah Eleven, However, Will Accept
None but Chance With
Michigan.

Now that the football season for the
University of Utah is over, it seems that
applications in general for football games
are coming in. Less than one week ago
the Denver University expressed herself
as anxious for a game This was denied
because of earlier advances on the part
OF Utah which were turned down.
Only yesterday came two offers of
games. one from the University of Mon
tana, the Montana eleven claiming a right
70 meet Utah on account of her victory,
10 TO ., over the Montana Agricultural
college.
Another offer of a game also reached
the University board yesterday from ST
Nlncents college of Los Angeles. the eleV-
en- that won from Utah, 10 to 0, last year.
Both applications were turned down,
however, as to both elevens arrangements
Tor a game earlier in the season had been
rendered and had been refused.
At present II seems that the Utah foot
bail season is over after the Branch Nor
mai game at Cedar City, Saturday, I'M
less the invitation to the University of
Michigan team is accepted
Coach Maddox said last night that the
eievens now offering to play Utah were
showing poor excuses for games, mas
much as each had been given games
carrier in the season and in each case
the offers had been turned down.
AS II appears that the Michigan eleven
mas small hopes Of a western trip this
year, it is about definite that the Utah
football schedule will end Saturday with
the game at Cedar City.

What's What in Sports
All the Time
RECORD YEAR FOR
DRAF TING PLAYERS
Lavish Expenditures of the
Big Clubs Shows Desire
to Win.

The Sporting Life says: The fall of 1909
marked the highest advance in the history
of baseball in the matter of drafting and
purchasing minor league players by ma
Jor league clubs. Never before were ma
jor league clubs so lavish in expenditure
and it is probable that the highest water
mark has been reached. Guesses were
made at one time that the minor leagues
would benefit to the extent Of S250,0O0 by
the sale OF their players to the American
and National leag CUES this fall. This sum
win not cover il. According to the rec
ords of the national commission, the two
big organizations. by purchase or draft.
have taken $3.50, 900 worth of talent from
the smaller leagues OF this sum SOS, so
has been paid. The balance is TO go to the
minor league clubs If certain men make
good. The American league clubs have
spent more coin for new material than the
National league clubs. Charley COmiskey.
owner of the White SOx, sets the pace
for all the magnates. He wants a good
team next season. and has spent for new
material S55.650 Blackburn. the PTovi-
dence shortstop, cost Commy about 5000
He is the highest priced capture from the
minors. All the club owners have proved
good spenderS except the men at the head
OF the Washington club. The Washington
outlay for new material is only s.. 800. The
demon spendthrift of the National league
is Garry Hermann. His scouts have
rounded up S36 500 worth of talent for the
Reds of 1910. Charley Ebbetts runs Garry
e close second. The Brooklyn president
purchased S2T,900 worth of new timber.
This is a correct and official list of the
cash expenditures of the major league
clubs for new athletes:

NOT BEYOND REDEMPTION
Sight of Sleeping Children Causes a
Chicago Burglar to Restore
Money to Parents.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Two children sleeping
in Inconsistencies of danger today proved
more effectual in dispOsing of a robber
than all the bolts and bars on the en-
frances to the home of AdOlph Huber.
The influence of the sleeping children,
daughters of Huber, caused a burglar TO
repent his crime and return TO the chill
drens parents money which he had just
taken at the point of a revolver.
Huber, according to the police, was
awakened by some one walking in his
room just before daylight. and his ques-
ton, who is there?" brought a threat
to kill him if he did not give up his
money. The burglar then searched the
garments of the father and also took all
the money in Mrs. Huber's purse.
He then went into the room where the
children We're sleeping, and, tiptOeing out,
gave back TO the astOniShed parents the
money which he had taken, a small sum,
and added a silver coin. saying, Those
are great kids; l haven't got much coin,
but you give them this from me-"
The police are looking for the kind
hearted burglar.

Powell was the favorite at odds of
10 to and he was backed for thou
sands. It now is conceded by all that
Wolgast, after his showing against the
Californian, is the legitimate opponent
OF Champion Nelson.
The fight tonight was remarkable for
the terrific clip the fighters maintained
and the Discrimination at any time to
break ground or shirk punishment.
Wolgast Set the Pace.
Wolgast opened the battle as if he
intended TO make a runaway fight of
it. He fairly dazzled Powell with his
speed and his aggressive fighting at
close range was a revelation. Time
and again he drove right and left short
arm blows to the body and jaw and
kept his arms going with such piston
like regularity that Powell was all at
sea.
Try as he might, he could not elude
and the best he could do was to pro-
tect himself, let alone administer any
punishment WOlgast devoted his early
attacks to the kidneys and soon great
red blOtches bedecked PowelPs back
The men fought almost constantly at
close range throughout the entire bat
tie, and while in this position Wolgast
sent in smash after smash on the Cali
fOrnian's jaw and face and soon the
blood was spOuting in streams from his
mouth and nose. One round was q rep
clifton of the other, with WOlgast in
variably holding the upper hand.
In the twelfth round Powell made his
