RYAN'S DENIAL
IS IDENTIFIED
(From Mondays Advcrtiser.)

(From Mondays Advertiser.)
Paddy Ryan comes in with a very
courteous and sensible answer to the
story which appeared in yesterday
mornings Advertiser with regard to
the decision in the Reilly-Smith go on
Saturday night. II might be stated
here that the story referred to was
signed and was presented as the opiu-
ion of the signer, who witnessed the
bout, and is presumably qualified to
write on such subjects.
Paddy is naturally peeved at the
slight criticism of his decision, but
makes mark for local sportsmen to
live up to in the quiet and dignifiej
way in which he writes on the subject,
Here is the other side of the question:
Mr. Jack Dcnsham. Dear Sir-To
referee boxing contest is something
like umpiring football game--an un.
pleasant job at the best, as you know.
But, where you act with strict impair

an absolutely correct decision, wouldn u
it jar you to have to go into print to
defend yourself against adverse crit.

you were. Again, you stated that 1

As soon as the foul blow was struck

decision. Had / not seen the blow

must have been prejudiced by outside
sources and taken facts second handed
from somebody who was disappointed.
That foul blow was struck was the
opinion of twenty or more persons,
reputable merchants, lawyers and doc.
tors, who will certify to the same if
called upon to do So and, from what
hear, four-ffths of the house was with
me.
This is the first time that my decis-
ions have been questioned, and, be-
lieve me, it will be the last. l will
never referee boxing contest in the
Islands again.
Respectfully yours,

MANY SHELTER CITY
 HUNTERS IN FIELD

DOUGLAS, Oct. 27.-(Special)-
 4 number of shooting parties went out after quail yesterday and gener- ally the reports of their success were better than those of the week before. Nearly all brought home fair game bags, and game suppers and lunches have been more or less the rule last night and today.
 One party consisted of W. H. Kirk land and Messrs. Spicer and Best, who brought home between fifty and sixty quail, although they were un- able, through a failure in arrange fnents to reach the point they had in tended as their destination.
 This party reports the birds as plenty, but small, and Kirkland is especially strong in the statements which he makes. de says that most of the birds flying are very small, evidently a second brood, and that good sportsmanship demands that the hunters shall wait a time to give them a further chance for growth or else injure the sport.

ARIZONA PAYS OHIO BILLS IF
 GUARDSMEN

We Rew come to the case of Ari- zona versus Ohio" said Judge Kent Saturday morning when the matter of the application of Major Frank r. Alkire, acting paymaster for the Ari- zona national guard. to compel Terri torial Auditor W. c. Foster to pay claims for the per diem and expenses of the rifle team of the national guard at Camp Perry, O., last August The claims aggregated about SLIGO. Mir. Foster declined to issue warrants on the ground that he had no authority of law
 This question had been raised once before and the office of the auditor had an opinion from Attorney General Clark that the claim was a valid one. h this case the matter was referred to Attorney General Wright, who de- clined -J render a formal opinion. There was, he said, no direct author ity for the payment of the claim, nor was there any prohibition against pay ment. He recommended that the ques- ton be taken to the court for set clement, once for all. Then Major Alkire began proceedings.
 The court decided that payment should be made, the decision being based on paragraph 3179 of the revis- ed statutes: That whenever it be- comes necessary to call out the na- tional guard or any portion thereof, the necessary funds for pay, trans portation of troops, material and sub sistence, shall be paid out of any funds in the territorial treasury not otberwire appropriated; Provided, however, that the territorial auditor shall draw no warrant therefor un- less the requisition shall be accom- panied by vouchers of the commis- sary general, approved by the adju- tant generalR
 All the provisions of this paragraph had been complied with so that the
 
 calling out the guard or any part of it. In the opinion of the court that was a matter that rested entirely with the governor who had issued the or ger and upon whom, under the regu- lations governing the organized mill tia, that business deVolves.
 It was further argued that the call ing out of the rifle team to take part in the shoot at Camp Perry was nee essary' to the promotion of the high est efficiency of the guard, for the members of the teams acquire a knowledge of marksmanship which is diffdsed throughout the entire body of the militia, each member of the team becoming a competent instruc- tor.

BOWLERS
 ARE MUCH EXCITED

DOUGLAS, Oct. 27.-(Special.) )-
 The race of the bowlers in the Y. NJ. c. A. tournament goes merrily on and the crash of pins and rumble of lignum vitoe over maple is heard every night. Interest keeps up, the contest for several positions being very close. Only 104 pins separate the since the contest for several of the positions. Only 104 pins separate the two leading teams and one or two matches may be sufficient to change this if the Bantams should fail to keep up the hot pace they are set ting. They have totalled 654O in four matches while the c. & A. team have piled up 6446.
 The Bankers hold third place, but by no safe margin. and are closely followed by several other teams, the one right on the heels of the other.
 These clubs are Bankers 61s6, c. Q. Shelter 6067, City 6O11, Street Railway 597O and Fl Paso & South western 5S45. The substitution of Mullett for Woolen on the City team has given that trio a handicap of 20 and leaves them still ahead of the Railway boys. The other three teams are c. Q. Clothing 57O1, c. Q. Store 5664, and C. c. Machinists 5324.
 Tonight the Bantams and c. & A. teams will mow 'em down and from the closeness of their race and the possible effect on standing this match should be one of the best in the tournament.

Average Is High.
 The Y. M. c. A has better chance of winning its matches with Bisbee this year than for many moons past as there are at least seven men in the present tournament who are play i ing winning ten pins. The average which is being bowled by these seven insures a winning five men team if Bisbee does not show wonderful i'm provement Seven bowlers have an average of over 16O for twelve games rolled. These are Domancich, 175; Curtis, I'll; Baltzley, 16S; Mcdonald, 164; Lehman and pe Frietas, 162; and Day, 161. The highest five thus average s49 per game, a winning score, and the average for the seven is at the rate of $50. Thus it is seen Douglas bids fair to have a winning team.
