GOOD PURSES Up FOR
1910 HARNESS RACING

New York. Feb. 13.-During the COM
ing racing season owners OF young
trotters will receive ample opportunity
to show the merits of their finely-bred
colts and filIies. In addition to the
$21, 900 Kentucky futurity, which has
been the feature of the Lexington trOts
for many years, the various turf jour
nal futuritieS and few other races for
three-yea Odds, there will be brand
new races, the value Of each being SUI
ficiently large to attract the attention
of every owner of a good trotter or
PAGER
The value of the stakes already ar
ranged amounts to something like
$4,000 to race for, and before the
programs are completed it is likely
that this sum will be increased.
Prominent among the new stakes
will be those guaranteed by the Ameri-
can Association of TrOtttng Horse
Breeders. These events will be known
as the Champion Stallion stake and the
Matron stake. The aggregate value of
both Will probably exceed $4,000
One of the bright features about
these races is that they are to be con-
tested at the track offering the best
cash inducements, which money, to-
gether with the total money paid in en-
trance fees, is to be divided among
the winners.
Another important new futurity is
that offered by the HOrSeman and
Spirit of the Times This event is IN
be worth $4,000, and, like the Breed
ers' stakes, must not be decided before
August 1. The horse world of Buffalo
has come to the front this year with
stake for youngsters, which will be
worth about $500.
With these new ones, together with
the Horse Review and Kentucky
Stock Farm futurities, which are con-
tested each year at Columbus; the
American Horse Breeders futurity,
which will he raced, as usual, at Read
vile; the futurity that is to be the an
nual event at Syracuse; the Western
futurity, which is raced at In
and the three-year-o trot.
which will probably be repeated at the
North Randall track this year, it ap-
pears as if the hOrsemen who campaign
over the principal racing tracks viii
have q busy season with their two and
three-ye ar-olds.

BATTLING NELSON PLACES FIGURES ON FIGHT WITH
ENGUSHMAN

Can Freddie Welsh say this?
I'm winning my title 1 was compelled
to whip men of the caliber Of Spider
Welch, Art Sims Jack O'Nein, George
Memsic, Martin Candle, Eddie Hanlon,
Aurelia Herrera, Young Hyland, Jimmy
Britt, Joe Cans and Hyland.
For two months stories have been ap-
pearing in numerous papers regarding
wonderful sums offered by English clubs
and syndicates for d fight between Welsh
and myself Sums ranging all the way
from 5000 to $4,000 have been juggled as
though they were so many peanuts.
Here is the business end of the Welsh
proposition. The same applies to one Ad
Woigast: Twelve months ago l was Of
fered $4,000 to fight Welsh. Now, accord
ing to one of the offers which he has
cabled over, 1 am offered $4,000 to fight
Wolgast. Now 1 am getting $4,000. Both
of these men have increased my value
at the rate of $1,000 d month. Wouldn't
be a fool to whip them both at one
time? Wolgast's limit as card was
reached when 1 was offered $4,000, so l
signed on the spot. I think if Welsh
keeps up his great press work can
eventually get $4,000 for whipping him.
And when that mark is reached I'll agree
to fight

GRIFF'S RED GIANTS
Cincinnati Will Boast of Six-FOOt Ag-
gregation That VIII Make
All Take Notice.

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 13.-'Make way
for Griffs Red giants" That will be
the cry of the fans around the National
league circuit next season. For Mana
ger Griffith intends to place on e&nl-
bitiOn one Of the greatest aggregattons
of siX-fOOters that ever trOtted onto
a diamond wearing a Cincinnati or any
other uniform.
Nine pitchers of Herculean proper
lions and five other Titans, represent
ing the catching, infield and Out1leld
departments, will make the earth trem-
bic and the fans stare when they take
the field, for they viii be the biggest
curiosity ever offered to the bugs Tor
inspection.
Charles W. Eliot, former Harvard
president, would forget all about his
five feet of classics If he ever got a
peep at Griffith's eighty-fOur feet OF
much legged centipede would be put to
blush if asked to perform on the same
field with the Red GOliaJhs, for ii
would be skinned a mile when IL came
to counting feet
Last year the fans marveled when
they saw eleven siX-fOOters wander out
on the diamond in red uniforms. There
was some size to that bunch, but the
Red giants of 1910 will have them
backed off the boards.
OF the six-fOOters who wore the red
last season, Ewing, Pearce, MorlaFJy
and Savidge are gone. In their places
Griff has COveleskie, Cheney StOrke,
Beebe, Furchner, Castleton and Can't
well.
Cincinnati will have the greatest
string OF giant pitchers In the history
Of the club, and 1t is doubtful II any
other club ever boosted of such one
before. Beebe, FrOmme, Cheney, Castle
ton and CoVeleskie are the twirlers
who measure six feet or more in height.
Larry Mclean, Mike Mitchell, Bob Bes-
cher. Dick HOblitzeU and Alan Storke
are the others who wear their hats
nearer the clouds than the average
run of mOrtalS.

What What in Sports
All the Time
KRhMER'S VICTORY NO
SURPRISE TO WISE FANS
Champion All the Way in Newark
Grind-Percy Lawrence Shows
Good Class.

SAT- Lake bike fans are not surprised
a. the victory of Frank Kramer in the
Newark ten hours a day, six-day race.
Despite the fact that it was the cham
pion's first appearance in the long
GRIND, he was a top faVOrite from the
start, and he made good.
why Kramer should not show his
cIaSs as SiX-day rider as well as
Sprlnter was not seen in Salt Lake.
IN every race in which he has ridden
long or short, he has kept up his
winning percentage, In his races at
the Salt Palace Kramer was there at
the finish in the ten-hOur and hour
races and finished as fresh as any.
In an affair like Johnny Chapman's
halt the work Kramer did not find him
self up against the strenuous work OF
the real siX-day, twenty-fOur hours a
day grind. After all, it was a sprint
and a Splinter who won at Newark.
The winning Of second place by Percy
Lawrence was a surprise, however.
Lawrence, as an amateur showed every
promise as a conner, and after his debut
in the professional ranks he continued
to hold his own. This will be his sec
. ond season with the pros" and with
the start he made in the Newark race
he should join the tOp-nOtcneTs-
Here in Salt Lake the fans are still
wondering what is what about the
Salt Palace track. Francis Heath is In
the east, and is evidently trying to land
riders.
A report that has received some
credence is that he has placed the track
In the hands of Johnny Chapman, and
that Chapman will send out man to
run the Salt Palace while he is run
ming Valesburg. This would do away
with any fight for riders between the
two tracks
The fans however. hope that the
local track will be given to a local
man who will run the track right.
They do not want to get the riders
that Chapman thinks he can spare for
Salt Lake.

SALT LAKE STILL IN
RUNNING FOR BATTLE

Salt Lakes chance on landing the big
Jeffries-JOhnsOn championship battle will
be known within q week. Despite the fact
that a great majority Of those interested
claim that when Tex Richard gets to San
Francisco it Will be all off and that he
Will give in to Jack Gleason and the
coast boosters, Salt Lake still has
chance.
1t was stated yesterday by one in po-
sitiOn to know as much as anyone else
that Richard will not go to San Fran
cisco, but will arrange the place with his
partner, Gleason, in Ely or by wire, This
Will follow the last card to be played by
Salt Lake, which as a matter Of TACT viii
come near being the first card as well.
It will be in the nature of a suitable guar
antee to Richard that he can stage the
bout and be assured of the purse he must
put up. This guarantee is said to be
forthcoming.
Rumors to the effect that local men will
buy out GleasOn's interest are still heard.
Gleason has put nothing in the venture,
and whatever he gets will be velvet
pure and simple.
All along Richard has said that all he
wants is a guarantee to bring the battle
here. Whether or not the offer of san
Francisco will be such that from bust
ness standpoint be will change his MIND
remains to be seen.
Whatever way the matter ends, SAT-
Lake has received thousands Of dollars
worth of advertising and IS that mucn
ahead.

Bat Nelson has written the following
reply to recent statement by Freddie
Welsh:
Ever since Welsh left America for his
beloved England, he has been flooding
this country with greatness and my ina
biity to hold the worlds lightweight II
tie. I won that title only after the hard
est campaign any fighter since the game
started has ever fought, and l whipped
every man between that title and myself
in order to get it. L was unfortunate
enough to be Obliged TO face the tough
est men in the world when they were
at their best, and only three of them
ever went more than 10 rounds with me.
Cans passed that limit twice, only to be
eventually floored for the count both
times. Fighting Dick Hyland managed
to last % rounds, and Herrera was still
fighting his losing battles at the limit
of %. but three more rounds would have
seen him knocked out, too.
Can Freddie Welsh say this?

HANDICAP MATCH At
THE SHUBERT TONIGHT
Portland Greek Wrestler Agrees to
Throw Winnipeg Man -Four Times
in Ninety Minutes.

Tonight at the Shubert theatre the
wrestling fans will be given an oppor-
tunity to see Peter BuzUkos, the Port
land Greek wrestler, attempt to throw
Eddie COnnors, the Winnipeg mat man,
five times in ninety minutes. The match
is attracting DO little interest, particularly
among the local Greeks. From the way
the tickets went yesterday it looks like
the whole of "GreektOwn" at the match.
They want to see their cOuntryman throw
the 'ITishman."
Under the terms of the match COnnors
wins if he secures a fall. COnnOrs says
he is in better shape than in his meet
ing with BuzUkos at the YOkel-Karp
match, and that he has no chance TO
lose At first he wanted the toe hold
barred, but Buzukos would not consent,
and straight catch-as-catch-can rules will
govern.
The match starts at 8:15 p, m.

NAT DEWEY WANTS BOB
WATKINS AS TRAINER

Denver. Feb. 13.-Nat Dewey, the husky
negro heavyweight who meets Sam Lang
ford in a 2O-round bout at Cheyenne on
WashingtOns birthday, was in the city
YESTERDAY for the purpose of engaging
Bob Watkins of this city to act as his
boxing partner and trainer for his bout
with LangfOrd The big fellow expressed
the greatest of confidence, not only in
his ability to give LangfOrd a strong ar
gument, but in winning over the sturdy
Boston man. If confidence is all that is
necessary. Dewey is going to give Lang
ford an argument such as he has not been
given for some time.
Dewey is a bigger man than LangfOrd
IN breadth of shoulders, height and reach.
He is 80 years old, the same age as Lang
ford. He has met many of the leading
heavyweights of the west and has scored
fOrty-three knockouts during his career,

CITY, UTAH. MONDAY FEBRUARY A.
LOCAL LIGHTWEIGHTS
TOO EVENLY MATCHED

Utah boxing fans have seen Pete suIli-
van and Bird Leg Collins box twenty
rounds twice. Two of the best referees
in this part Of the country Tom Painter
and Willard Bean, gave the verdict
draw in each case and there is no ques-
ton but the decisions were right. Those
at the second fight saw a much better
exhibition. The last ten rounds offered
as good fighting as could be asked for.
The genuine efforts Of both boys to win
made it a contest well worth the seeing.
Each was game and trying to win every
moment in the ring. 1t is not likely that
for some time. They are too evenly
matched to make any outcome but a
draw improbable, considering the style
used by each. Collins wants a match over
longer route, but the signing of articles
is unlikely.
AS in the first meeting Sullivan out
boxed Collins, but lacked a punch strong
enough to do damage against man of
Collins strength and defense. which, if
seemingly awkward, does the business.
Joe Cans and other tOp-nOtch men found
Collins too tough a proposition to handle
and his two meetings with Sullivan show
Collins Improves.
Collins showed a 80 per cent improve
ment over his first fight with Sullivan,
He got into action better and used his
right hand. Joe Burns, Collins manager,
is after some Of the best lightweights in
the business and will have Collins make
the lightweight limit if necessary. Burns
is going to go through with Collins and
will back him against any of them.
At the contest at ogden Friday night 1t
was a pleasure to see two men in such
perfect condition. They went through the
sixty minutes Of fighting with scarcely a
long breath. They took blows that would
have flOOred an ordinary man without
sign of distress. The condition in which
they went into the ring is credit to their
manage and the promoter of the match
Pete Sullivan won many admirers by his
work Friday What surprised most was
the way he stood up and slugged with
Collins and snapped blow for blow. Pete's
defense, his ability to take punishment
make him good. Against any but a mar
vel Of tOughness like Collins, Pete can
win. Cyclone Johnny Thompson is still
sidestepping him, but a good match IS
hoped for in the near future.

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 13.-John King,
catcher of the Chicago National league
club, who quit the team about a year
ago, has applied to the national base
ball commission for reinstatement.
At the time King left the Chicago
team he announced that he would never
play ball again. He said he wanted
more time to care for his private bust
ness. King for many months has been
a puzzle to the baseball enthusiasts
throughout the country. Many inter-
views have been given out in which 1t
was declared that he wanted to go
back into baseball and then few days
later it would be reported that he
would never again play ball. It is
probable that the national commission
will now reinstate him on condition
that he pay a fine.
