Indian Kissed.

The Indians work was so raw that
he was hOoted and Kissed by the dis
gusted crowd and cautioned after al
most every round by Referee Billy
Burke, who, at the end of the contest
declared ii a draw.
The fight was a disappointment be-
cause of the injury to Sullivan's right,
Sullivan, who Outclassed the Indian
i'm the former battle, was the aggres-
sor, but at that, put up a miserable
fight. His right hand, used to such
advantage in the first mill, had as
well been off for all the good it did
him last night A boil on his finger
is believed TO have caused him to re-
frain from using his right to any eX-
tent sullivan, using but his left hand
was unable to stop the rushes of the
Indian or to get over his guard to any
extent A slight cut in Gregg's lip
and q cash over Sullivan's left eve
were the only signs Of claret. As the
fight neared a close the men woke up.
The last three rounds were worth
more than the preceding seventeen.
The final round was a lively one, in
which sullivan, fighting with both
hands, had the better of Gregg.

NATIONAL LEAGUE IN
QUEER POLITICAL ROW
Heydler Assured Of Reelection and
Then Meets Strong
Opposition.

Chicago, Dec. 13-It is doubtful if
there is a parallel in baseball history
to the present situation in the National
/ league. One coterie of club owners is
endeavOring to prevent the reelection
of a president who became president
against his will at the suggestion of
some of the men now opposed to him
and against the judgment of some of
the men who now openly are working
for his reelection. The general public
which dips only lightly into baseball
politics, may not recall that John Heyd-
Ter served the National league for
number of years as secretary. and was
pointed to by its members with pride
as a sort of worlds champion
A little less than a year ago, when the
late Harry c. Pulliam was on the verge
of collapse and a leave Of absence be
came compulsory, Secretary Heydler
was asked to assume the duties of pres
ident in addition to his own, pending
his principals recovery. ACtUated Who'll
ly by the desire to retain for his long
time friend. Harry Pulliam, a position
which otherwise would have been lost
to him through sickness, John Heydler
overcame his aversion to the task and
filed both positions until the champion
ship season was well along.
Tragic End.
Soon after Harry Pulllam returned to
take up the work of the executive John
HeydleT went on a short vacation to
rest, and during that time the late pres
ident ended his own life tragiCaliy. once
more the National league faced a pre-
/ dicament. 1t was necessary either to
select a new man for the position on
short notice or to elect John HeydleT
for the unexpired term. The latter all
tentative was chosen, and again SeCre-
tary Heydler reluctantly accepted a
task under which he has seen one mans
health break down completely, subOr-
dinating his own incIinaions to relieve
his employers from an embarrassing
situation for which he was in no wise
responsible.
At that time he fully expected to re-
turn next year to the vacant secretary
ship. Before he had returned to his desk
from his best friends funeral one of
the club owners, who opposed his cleo
ton, gave voice to the opinion that
John Heydler was mot big enough for
the position. Today that club owner is
one of his most loyal supporters. That
change Of front, and, in fact the whole
decidedly unique situation are in great
measure due to an attempt to defeat
John Heydler's possible reelection to
an Office which he didn't want without
first ascertaining if he desired re-elec-
ton.

PETE SULLIVAN
BACK FOR COLLINS
Fought Gregg With an Injured
Handmade Friends in
Sacramento.

Fresh from his second battle with In
dian Joe Gregg at Sacramento and look
ing none the worse for rough 20 rounds
Pete Sullivan, the clever lightweight who
meets Bird Leg Collins at ogden before
the wool growers January Z, arrived in
Salt Lake last night.
Il am feeling fine said Pete. but
am glad to get back to Salt Lake and
TO the mountain air. I have had a good
time and a profitable time at Sacramento,
although my last fight with Gregg was d
disappointment. Just before the fight a
boil broke out on a finger on my right
hand. and il bothered me a lot. I was
forced to do most of the fighting with
my left, and the result was a draw. The
Indian was in good shape, and he GER
tainly put up a tough so. He was so
anxious TO win that he did everything
but bite me.
They wanted me to stay longer and
postpone the fight, but 1 told them 1 had
to get to Utah to train for Collins.
''Ihey certainly treated me in great
style in Sacramento, particularly Dick
McCreadle, manager of the Buffalo club,
and Joe Richardson, the boy promoter.
The game is good there, and the two men
I named are doing a lot to keep it so.
Il am going to rest up until the end of
the week, before going into hard training.
I VIII only have TO take off a few pounds
to make 13S. ] know Collins is an awful
tough boy, and 1 want to be in top shape.

Up Against II.

Pete brought a report of the fight from
a Sacramento paper, which says:
A month ago when Sullivan fought
Gregg he WallOped the Indian so Sc
verely that there was not a protest
when he was given a decision at the
end of twenty rounds. In last Fri
days fight, however, he was up against
it because of the red mans insistence
upon straight rules. In addition, Pete
fought with a crippled right hand and
was compelled to stand for his an
tagOnists rough work with his head,
shoulders and elbows.

defense in the night rider trials spent
the entire day today piling up alibi and

Witness after witness swore that the
defendants bore good regulations, but
were forced to admit that they were
generally believed to be night riders.
One witness, who swore that the
states witnesses were men of bal
reputation, admitted that he was col

vicinity is strong with sulphur fumes.
