Slosson Defeated Cutler.

George F. Slosson defeated Albert G..
Cutler in the final game of the tourna-
ment proper played yesterday afternoon.
The score was 500 to 81. Cutler played
fairly well in the first six innings, in
which he averaged nearly 20 Thereafter,
with the exception of the twelfth inning,
when he ran %, his performance was in
comprehensiby bad. He played the dead
ball. when he should not have done SO
and naturally got bad results, and was
severely punished for his habit of max
ing long drives instead of short ones by
numerous alignments. The punishment
simply fitted the offenses against good
judgment of which he was guilty, yet he
thought he was victim of an extreme Of
fate.
Slosson began badly, but with runs OF
22, IS and 100 assumed the lead in the
seventh inning. His best playing was
done in the twenty-ninth inning, In which
he ran 90, chiefly by line work at the head
of the table, and would probably have
finished the game had he not been stopped
by a "roll-off'' on short single cushion.
He said: "That inning was the only one
in the tournament in which I had my
stroke. 1 don't know how a man can get
off so badly BY winning he secured
fourth money. Cassignol and Cutler fall
ed to get any part of the prize money.
The score:

wants a portion of the privileges; it is
all none," said McCarey.
1t was intimated that Johnson had been
weaned to the Rickard-Gleason combine
some time ago. but Richard denied this.
McCarey continued commenting after
Murphy had adjourned the meeting until
IL o'clock this morning. when Richard
and Gleason will be present with legal
advisers to bind the fighters to an agree
ment which will prevent escape on the
part of any Of the Interested ones from
the original agreement.
Richard and Gleason met McCarey and
Graney after the session and there was
a. continuance of the argument, until
Richard suggested that the fighters had
the real choice of promoters.
In an interview Richard, who is stay
ing at the Waldorf-Astoria, said that he
preferred an eastern man as referee.
This fight, which is the greatest tinan-
cial affair ever known in pugilism, should
not be confined to the west. Because of
the national, and I might as well say.
worldwide. interest in it, a referee should
be chosen from this part of the country.
Wants Women to Attend.
NO battle ground can be decided at
once, but Salt Lake City's leading citi-
zens have assured me that they will sup
port the project financially and other
wise. Ely wants it and Gleason may
wish to utilize his base ball park in San
Francisco. 1 think we can have a fight
that will be witnessed by at least 5000
women. At the fight between Cans and
Nelson, at Goldfeld. nearly every woman
in the town was present. The man who
checked baby carriages outside the arena
made a good days pay.
Under the agreement made by the pro-
motors $4,000 will be posted within sixty
days and the remainder of the purse

FOOLISH INFRINGEMENT

News comes from Washington
that officials OF the postal depart
ment have decided upon a policy
of retreuchmeut which includes the
restriction OF the rural free deliv-
cry. We have noticed that when
the government gets an economic
streak, II goes after the rural com
munity. Retrenchment along these
lines IS poor economy. The only
change in that branch OF the ser
vice should be to establish more of
the rural routes.
Generally speaking, no res,ric.
ton OF any sort should be placed
upon any governmental activity
tha, will hamper public service or
prevent the development of those
sources OF wealth which gives
everybody chance. Whether i: is
postal service, reclamation OF arid
lands or anything else for the
benefit Of the public. there is no
excuse for parsimouy.

The President believes that the
postal banks would appeal to those

would rather get the 2 per cent or
less interest, which, the government
would give, than TO place the
money in the regular savings banks

By placing the interest to be al
