Los Angeles, Feb. 15-Lew Powell of
San Francisco and George Memsic
fought a fierce ten-round draw here to-
night.
In the fifth round, after a clinch, Mem
sic sent Powell to the floor with a swing
that landed very low. Powell writhed,
but was up at the count of nine and
clinched and the gong saved him. The
house yelled foul loudly. but Referee
EytOn refused to allow the claim and
Powell fought the remainder of the fight
in a weakened condition.
The newspapermen, with whom the de-
cisiOn rested. were unable to agree after
the fight and the sentiment of the crowd
seemed to be that the fight should be
declared draw.

ERLENBORN TIRED OF
MAKING CHALLENGES

Tired of the way the featherweights are
sidestepping him, Young Erlenborn, the
crack Denver boxer, said yesterday that
he would return to Denver the end of
the week. ErlenbOrn is ready to meet
anyone of his weight and post side bet
of $780, but none seems anxious for his
game. The Denver boy says he will re-
turn to Salt Lake within a month or so
and hopes to get a match.
Yesterday Freddie Wilson, Buffalo
featherweight, entered a challenge to meet
ErlenbOTn, Peanuts Sinclair or Tommy
Fitzgerald at 122 pounds ringside. He was
first scheduled to meet Fitzgerald at 11S
pounds, but found that he could not make
the weihgt. ErlenbOrn says he will meet
Wilson and agree to stop him, but must
have a side bet.

Following the demand of the citizens
Of Provo that the crack B. Y. L. bas-
ketball team he sent to Chicago to COM
pete in the national championships of the
A. A. l., it begins TO look as if Utah
will be represented by two organizations.
For some time it has been known that
the Y. NJ. c. a. is going TO make the
trip. With the great showing of the
b. Y. L. five in winning the collegiate
title, Provo has been heard from. Coach
Fred BenniOn of the b. Y. L, said yes
terday that indications looked bright for
his team going TO Chicago.
With the announcement comes the
change in the games scheduled for the
Y. NJ G. A. and the b. y. L. Owing
10 the calling off of the western trip Of
the Kansas City five, which was sched-
uled TO play at Provo February %, the
Y. NJ. Q. A. has taken the date and the
game between the two teams scheduled
for Thursday OF this week has been ad-
Vauced to February IS.
The game at Provo Tuesday Will be
but an exhibition game, with the second
game. however, to be styled state cham
piOnship game. Owing to the good chances
of both teams making the Chicago mp,
the interest in the contests between the
two has redOubled, and great crowds are
expected 10 witness the play. Both teams
have put on extra steam in practice, ana
the basketball fever is taking hold strong
at both institutions.

stead Of doing away with them, In my
mind, baseball is just fast enough, and
we should take no chances Of reducing
that speed in any way"
1t was decided that the Philadelphia
club should settle on the same receipt
basis as the other teams in the future.
On account Of the former inadequate
stands in Philadelphia that club formerly
settled on the basis of 12ls cents for every
admission on its home grounds and re
ceived the same on the road. In the fu-
ture II will settle on the basis of l2la
cents for each % cent admission, and p
cents for all others. This will put all the
clubs on the same basis of settlement.
Six managers Of the league were pres
ent, but none apparently was able to
make any trades with HIS fellows
President Navin of Detroit announced
that the Chicago club would be DetTOits
opponent on the day upon which he raises
the pennant for 1899. The date VIII not
be decided until the schedule is adopted.

BARNEY OLDFlELD
 DEFIES RACERS

New York. January 25.-(Special.) .)-Bar- ney Oldfield and William Pickens, his manager, are the new owners of the newly arrived 2D horsepower Hemery Benz, the car which has gone 15 miles an hour faster than the Strang Fiat on the Brooklands, England, track. The pair today purchased the outright for $14 900 and Pickens is out with a challenge to the world to race his against any car or pilot in America or Europe. The passing of the new car to Oldfield will make decided change in the rae ing situation as George Robertson was supposed to have the car for a March race with Strang. Pickens announced to- night that he would arrange a race with Strang if the latter was willing, but new negotiations would have to be entered into and that Oldfield would have to have the say as to the selection Of the track and the purse.
 Oldfield predicts a mile in 90 seconds with the car on speedways and In Fl seconds on the Florida beach.

Auburn Stars Tackle
 He B. A. C. IOm0YYOD

Auburn comes tomorrow night to tackle the Birmingham Athletic club at bas ketball Auburn is always the drawing card in Birmingham, principaify for the reason that most of the players are Bir- mingham boys.
 This year Is no exception, as Auburn has Truman Thomas, last years Birming- ham Athletic club captain, and one of the best forwards in the south; well as Tom Parker, Bradley streit Earl Major and Biscoe Seals, all of whom are Bir- mingham boys
 The team has lost only one game this year and that was to Columbus in Colum- bus where everybody gets trimmed.
 The Auburn boys know the Birmingham court as well as their own, and 1t is expected that the game will be both racy and exciting.
 The local team since the trip to Atlanta and Columbus has been putting in some hard practice and right now Is in fine shape for the battle.
 Hilty has been elected captain. Will Hams and Riddle will play forward: Ritchie center, Streit and Hilty guards. with Wilbur Cole and Henry Hanna as substitutes This will compose a squad hard to beat.
 It is probable that the Auburn alumni will attend in a body, to root for their team. Sponsors will be chosen, and every indication points to record-breaking at- tendance. Dancing will follow the game Auburn will probably play Bessemer Fri day.

 Hear Witnesses Here.

Louisville, January 25-(Special. )-Legal representatives of the state of Alabama and the Louisville and Nashville railroad are progressing slowly in the taking of proof here in the main offices of the railroad company in rate case of coll siderable importance to the state of Ala bama. Since the hearing began here January 1 only three witnesses have tes- ti1ed-W. H. Courtney, chief engineer of the Louisville and Nashville, and ]. F. Willoughby, construction engineer, and T. e. Harrison, engineer of the South and North Alabama Railroad company. The proceedings in Louisville will prob ably be continued five or six weeks
 Chief Engineer Courtney was the first witness MT. Courtney gave testimony having to do with the physical condition of the property of the Louisville and Nashville in the state of Alabama He declared in his judgment the property of the Louisville and Nashville in Alabama could not be reproduced today for less than s29,000, GOO. This amount takes in the real estate held by the company but excludes the rolling stock
 Mir. Courtney also estimated the value of the holdings of the South and North Alabama Railroad company in Birnline-
  of way and the real estate, exclusive of the buildings, from Twenty-secold street to Thirteenth street will not exceed s. 395, 900.
 These estimates of both the property of the Louisville and Nashville and the South and North Alabama Railroad com pany if correst. experts say, would justl- fy an increase in both passenger and freight rates rather than decrease.
 J. F. Wiloughby,. construction engineer of the Louisville and Nashville, and T. O. Harrison of Birmingham corroborated the statements made by MT. Courtney who was on the stand II days. MT. Har- rison is being examined now but will conclude his testimony tomorrow.
 Unless the unexpected happens no Wit nesses will be brought here from Ala bama to testify in behalf of the rail- road commission of that state H. C. Selheimer is authority for the statement that witnesses for the state of Alabama will probably be heard in Birmingham.
 All the testimony here is being given before Col. William A. Gunter of Mont gomery. appointed master by Judge Jones of the circuit court of the United States for the Fifth district at Mont gonlery last summer. The Louisville and Nashville is being represented by Col. Henry L. Stone, general counsel; Greg ory l.. Smith of Mobile and Sidney !. Bowie of Birmingham. The cause of the state of Alabama is being ably championed by II. c. Selheimer. Judge Samuel D. Weakley and Alex M. Gar Der. attorney general for the state of Alabama
