Both Battling Nelson, the cham
ion lightweight and Fighting Dick
Hyland are in excellent trim for their
forty-Rve round bout to be held in
Jim Conroth's Mission street arena
tonight. As the men are sluggers of
the first water il should result in one
of the greatest battles ever held on
the coast. While Nelson is the fav-
orite in the betting, Hyland has many
supporters. The latter's followers
figure that the severe poundngs tile
Dane has received in the. last few
years have injured his staying powers
and that Hyland will put over a sleep
producing wallop before the forty
fifth round. Nelson, the champion,
has been one OF the sensations of the
prize ring for years. lie is glutton
for punishment and il is this ability
that has enabled him TO win ma

Office for e>ndeavoring to Sell
Goods the. Officers Think
Were Stolen.

Endeavoring to sell some stolen
property to Mrs. Frank Villa. who
lives on the southern outskirts of the
city. John Wilson, was yesterday rec
ognized by her as being the same per-
son who perpetrated a similar offense
upon her last fall. and following a call
ed by Sheriff Haviland and is now
lodged in the county Jail.
On a day last fall. a person came to
the home of Mrs. Villa and asked her
to buy some goods which he had for
sale. Being of a superior quality.
she did so and later learned that the
same had been stolen from a trunk of
John Kent, which was on the front
porch of his house. 1t had been
placed there preparatory to being
shipped and was filled with the choic-
est possessions of his daughter who
was about to leave for school. Recog-
opened it, and took many articles of
value from the contents. Although re-
ported to the police authorities, he
was not captured until yesterday
when he tried the same trick.
Upon his applying to Mrs. Villa. she
Immediately recognized him and tele-
phoned the sheriff. Among the ar
ticles he had for sale were some
handkerchiefs, underwear, roast of
beef and a half pound of butter, all
of this being packed in diminutive
valise which he carried. Nearly all
of the articles of apparel were laun-
dry marked and it was evident that
Wilson had entered the home of some
one and taken them from the ironing
board
He will be held in Jail awaiting his
preliminary hearing in the superior
court.

RUNNERS WILL LINE
OUT FOR FIVE MILES
At Meador Park Next Sunday Another
Lcnq Distance Race VIII Be
Pulled Off-Many Entries
Already.

lodge. which holds its annual picnic on
June at Meador Park

nified. their willingness to run are
Charles Lockwood, Peter Jones, Dave
Evans. Archibald, Warner Ray and j.
D. Peterson. Several of these runners
are well known to local race fans and
from a study of the dope sheet, it
looks as if this race would be hotly
contested.
Lockwood, winner of the 15-milc
races held at the fair grounds recently
is now in prime condition and is pre-
pared to put up the fight of his life for
a $50 purse that is to be presented to
the winner. P. Jones, another distance
man Of repute, is also ready for the
contest and has been practicing dill
gently for the past several months

mors, it is expected that the coming
contest will lack nothing in vim and
dash.
Several more names will probably be
entered by next Sunday and with 10 or
more runners in the field, spectators
will be treated to contest which is
seen but once in life time.

anticipate compulsory retirement or

for voluntary retirement. Last week

EASY PICKING WAS
KENNEW|CK BUNCH
Coming Over With Announced Inten-
tions of Cleaning up Locals,
They Prove to Be Lead Pipe
for Home Nine.

Nine to couple was the way the
dope sheet looked yesterday after
noon when the game between the
Kennewick Boosters and the Walla
Walla team came to a close on the
ball park at the fair grounds, and
those spectators who had hoped to
see the visitors do something unusual
in the line of exhibiting the national
game were most heartily disappoint-
ed ''Scotty's'' men were not in the
play for a. minute, and returned las,
night to secure further practice in
base running by chasing the long
cared jacks through the sage past
ures.
1t was what is known in rural YER
nacular, a 'lead-Hpe cinch' foN the
locals, for they were able to poke holes
in the visitors meal tickets at will,
and had not the least trouble in cross
ing the gravy-dish for tallies. In fact,
the merry go-round showed such a
tendency to favor the Walla Wallans
that the thing became monotonous,
and a balloon ascension on the part
of the pennant protectors would have
been quite welcome, for the reason
that it would have gwen the thing
more equal appearance.
When the game started Ripley was
sent to the mound for the locals while
Grain adorned that distinguished po-
sition for the visitors. Grain was the
mainstay for the Kennewick nine and
if it had not been for him it is hard
to have imagined what the score would
have been.
All the local boys played in tip top
fashion. Kennewick had several
chances to make telling plays if head
work had come to their aid.

convicted murderer, who escaped 20

WINGED that the neighbors of the man
have used every means of interfering

with their lives If necessary. A
movement has been started to ask for
Atkinsons pardon.
