SAMMY SMITH
SHADES ROCKWELL

NEW YORK, June 5.-Young Corbett,
Of Denver. after going the full ten
round limit, lost by a small margin a
bout with Sammy Smith, formerly of
Philadelphia, before the Paramount
Athletic Club. The former lightweight
champion showed many marks OF the
battle when the final gong sounded.
The first three rounds of the mill were
FIST, with corbett up and coming. Smith
slowed his opponent in the fourth. fifth
and sixth by effective jabbing, aud in
looked like a knockout. with Corbett TAX
ing the count. The bell saved him, how
ever.
For the final FIVE rounds Corbett fought
with a split lip, which bothered him nc
little.
Taken MS a whole. the bout was a fast
and furious slarn-hang affair.

The spitball, the one thing that IS
hurting the American game of baseball.
is not a natural development of base
ball. 1t is ~"freaky." It's usefulness to
a pitcher comes from the fact hat It
takes a sudden drop from lack of force
Just in front of the batter. That drop
lie caused by the absence of friction be-
tween the ball and the pitchers fingers
That is what the spitball is.
Now let's see what are the bad
effects of the splitter on the game in
general and what Is likely to lead to
its adjustment some day
In the first place It's bad on the bat
ters. That lines the army of players
against its use at once for one reason.
In the second place you have four
fnfelders on every team that will de-
cry its use because many of their pres
ent-day errors can be traced directly
to the pitcher using the spitball. Why,
even the spectator at times can see
the saliva ny from the ball on its
Iens TO hit the sphere the ball is still
wet. and it is very difficult for the
fielder. to do anything with IT in the

brethren. but 1.-The ny cbasers are sup
posed TO be hittcrs. and as such their
objections will be raised. There ought
TO be something done to stop the use
of the ball.

Cheyenne. Wyo.-Another chapter
TO the bloody range war between the
cattlemen and sheepmen for control
of the range for grazing was written
in Big Horn county late on the night
of April 2. According to information
just received here, fifteen masked
horsemen raided the camp of Allie
mand and Emge and murdered in cold
blood Joe Allemand and Joe Emge,
wealthy and prominent sheepmen,
and Joe Lazier herder.
Allemand and Emge had located
their camp at the mouth of Spring
creek, fifty miles southeast of Basin,
where they were guarding 1900 sheep.
The raiders came upon the wagon on
the south side of the creek in which
two herders were sleeping, These
men were escorted to the road and
told to leave the country, and not
look back under threat of death
A volley fired into the wagon on
the opposite side of the stream result
ed in the death of Emge and Lazier.
Evidently Allemand was reused by
the approach of the raiders, as his
body was found fully twenty feet from
the wagon. where he had been cut
down by rifle ball, The wagon had
been. soaked in oil and fired. About
thirty sheep were killed.
All telephone wires were cut and
news of the affair did not reach
Basin until Tuesday morning.
