TheSpOrting Authority
of Salt Lake
MICHIGAN To GIVE
HANDSOME PURSES
Amounts for Harness Events,
including Grand Circuit,
Will be Very High.

Detroit Feb. &.-As far as rich purses
and mile track racing is concerned, all
other states viii be overshadOwed by
Michigan the coming season, and there
will be at least seven meetings in the
state which will be held on mile tracks
and larger stakes and purses will be the
rule.
Grand Rapids is the latest to make
definite announcement Of the stakes to
be given for the meeting the third week
in July. which will act as a curtain raiser
for the Grand Circuit meeting at Kalana-
ZOO. A $1,000 event will be given for 2:12
trOtters a 5000 and 1900 event for
PAGERS and a 5000 event for slOW-class
trotters In addition to these, eleven
s.. 900 purse races will be given, making
program aggregating $4,000 IN value
more than will be given at some Of the
Grand Circuit meetings.
A departure from the custom Of former
years will be made by the managers OF
the Michigan state fair, and stakes and
purses will be offered which will put the
mesting on par with any state fair in
the country.
The present intention is TO claim the
dates which were asked for and refused
by the Grand Circuit stewards the week
following the grand circuit meeting at
Syracuse, which will bring a clash with
the first week Of the Columbus Grand
Circuit meeting. As the ship TO Detroit
is a very convenient one from Syracuse,
the chances are that the meeting will
very materially cut into the big entry list
which for years has been feature Of the
Columbus meetings.
Now that it has been settled that the
hOrseman futurities will be raced at the
Detroit Grand Circuit meeting the first
week in August, the amount of money TO
be distributed or whereabouts, and with
the Grand Circuit and fair meetings at
Kalamazoo, and the Grand Rapids ana
Lansing meetings the amount Of the
stakes and purses which will be raced
for on the mile tracks in Michigan will
aggregate around $50 000

Murphy scored first blood in the ninth
round with a singing left smash to the
nose, and Moran eyened this up by cut
ting the Harlemite's right eye in the thir-
teenth. Beyond this, however, the fight
ers bore no marks of punishment after
their twenty stirring rounds of milling.
Moran had the advantage during the
first half of the battle, He forced the
pace, and several times pushed Murphy
outside Of the ropes
The fifteenth was the best round Of the
fight, and marked the turning point In
favor of the New Yorker. He Jared mis-
opponent frequently with left hooks and
left-hand swings to the jaw, Moran coun-
tering with right stomach punches.
In the eighteenth round the Harlem
fighter dazed the little Englishman with
g succession of right and left chrope on
the jaw. Moran, however, came Up
strongly in the last round, forced the
fighting, and at ons time had Murphy in
distress. The fight ended with both men
strong and fighting hard.
Referee Eddie Smith promptly de-
cIared Murphy the victor. His decision
did not meet with the approval OF the
crowd, which filled the big rink.
Moran was the favorite in the betting
at odds of 10 to 6. The general opinion OF
fight followers is that neither Moran
nor Murphy could make worthy foe

day looking over the changes in the base
ball rules. That the changes will be
adopted by the national commission is
the general belief. On one change alone
there seems to be a division of opinion,
and some say that it will be thrown out
by the commission.
The one in question is in allowing a
base runner going from first base to
turn either TO the right or left, after run
ming first base in returning to the base.
The fans say that this rule will allow
the baserunner too much liberty, as by
turning to the left he can come pretty
near getting half way to second base and
then return to first after he sees he can
not make the extra base.
OF course, the rules say that In case a
runner tried to make the extra base he
