Fully 500 members of the Ia
coma Athletic club turned out
last night to one of the best box
ing exhibitions ever given in the
city when Johnny O'Leary and
Eddie Marine went eight rounds
to a draw. The match was well
refereed by Dem Gay of Calgary,
Alberta, and though \ several be-
lieved Marine was entitled to a
shade, there was little discussion
after the decision.
Gay proved himself to be an
old hand at the game. He once
managed Abe Attell and kept the
boys mixing from start to finish.
He had to warn OLeary against
butting. but the youngster proved
that he had hard punch and
was a clever boxer.
| O'Leary had the shade Of the
second round but Marine evened
| it up in the third. The eighth
and ninth rounds were Marines
after some hard shedding and the
tenth was oLeary's. In the sixth
the boxers went to the floor in a
hitting clinch and almost tumbled
through the ropes. In the eighth
they went to the canvas in a
wrestle before Gay could break
them. Marine made weight
that would have been impossible
a month ago and proved himself
a clever ring general. Oheary
proved aggressive but lacked the
necessary experience. The boys
would make a good return match.
Andy Jost and Bruce Ashman
went eight rounds to draw.
Ashman had been up several
nights due to the arrival of a
ten-pound baby boy and could
have been in better condition.
Jost came up from behind in good
style and proved that he had not
lost science or strength.
Pat Scott outscienced Harry
Jewell and won a merited decis-
ion. Jewell was rushed in to fill
a breach when Eddie Shannon de-
serted the club for the green pas
lures of San Francisco and prov
ed willing worker. Frank Nc
Geehan refereed the early rounds
and made good and is one of the
most popular referees in town as
result. He kept the boys from
wrestling.
Joe Hill and Henry North
proved a good draw card by their
effective work. Hill led most of
the way but North figured as the
cool and more experienced boxer.
When the AID club Tiger degree
team initiated Sheriff Robert
Longmire and Commissioner
Owen Woods the club members
were treated to comedy worth
seeing. The work was done in

lodge style with great ceremony
and the kissing of Rex Tigris
and the swearing of fealty to
King Rex of the Montamara Fes-
to was cleverly staged.
So popular was the smoker last
night that long before the doors
were opened at the club house
the members began to congregate
and the large delegation from
Seattle was more than satisfied.
The club trustees have decided to-
hold one smoker during the Fes-
to, and probably two. The first
will be held either July 8 or July
4 and Joe Bonds will be on the
program in the heavyweight class
with a clever mixer.

Plat Adams, who jumped 10
feet s inches In the standing
broad jump at the eastern Olym-
pic trials, and F.. Fletcher, the
Notre Dame SKINNER, who clear

DOPE

Ed Watkins threat of Sunday
to purchase Brennan, the Victoria
third baseman, and play him
either at short or third base, was
fulfilled yesterday and Yohe evil
IDENTIFY played the bench. The
wires were too crowded this aft
ernoon with convention news to
get any word from Watkins about
the disposition of Brennan. The
new man got three runs and one
hit out OF three times at bat.
Whether Joe Cohn will re-
lease Cooney, Spokane shortstop,
for Pete Morse is a puzzle per-
picking Ed Watkins now. Joe Is
soft on Peter and Ed likes the
little Cooney although he does
not stick heavy. WhetheroTthe
trade will be consummatedsfs a

TWENTY YEARS AGO

Twenty years ago the price of
bar silver declined from one dollar
to ninety cents and great commo-
ton ensued. Many mines in
Colorado and this state closed dowr.
becausc'the ten cent drop in silver
ma le il impossible to work the ores
and extract a profit. Nevada,
at that time, was producing many
thousands of dollars annually from
its various mines, and the sudden
decline in the white metal caused
what can be truthfully termed a
panic.
Today, with the price of bar
silver quoted around sixty-four
cents mines of Nevada are pro-
ducing more bullion than ever be-
fore in the history of the state.
In this camp alone the output will
exceed a million dollars per month
and at that price OF the white COM
modify is virtually twenty-five
cents lower than when the state
first experienced its Serious backset
twenty years ago.
Scientific mining is attributed as
the cause that permits a greater
profit being made with Sd cents
silver and it is with such methods
in adoption that the millions of
dollars annually are paid from the
silver mines of the United States.
With silver at its old mark Of
ninety cents, it would be easy to
surmise the extent Of the pros
perity that would result for New
ada, but at even sixty four cents
the future appears somewhat
cheerful. Bonanza.

sHAKEspEARE's WIFE

From the Indianapolis News.
The continuing spectacle of old LON
don and Shakespeare England" has
awakened new interest In everything
that can in any way throw new light
upon a subject that, after nearly 800
years of keen research. yet remains the
deepest of literary mysteries. Obscure
as are nearly all the points in Shake
speare's life, 1t Is known that his wifes
maiden name was Anne Hathaway, and
that her father was a substantial yeo-
man at village near Stratford-on-
Avon. Shakespeare was barely 10,
Anne was 26 years old when they mar
ried.
The marriage bond. one of the few
life, is dated November, 1882. Little is
known of their domestic life. One cir
cumstance that seems to tell against
any strong affection IN the part OF
Shakespeare is that he drew his will
or some one drew 1t for hinl-without
mentioning his wife-and then few
words interlined gave the item: II give
unto my wife my second best bed, with
the furniture" This interlined bequest
has been taken by some as proof that
in making his will he had forgotten
her, only to remember her by slight
ing bequest.
On the other hand il has been pointed
out that Mrs. Shakespeare would. by
law, have third of her husbands pos
sessions and for tina. reason there
would be less occasion to remember her
with special gifts of affection. She died
on August 6, 1928, and was buried two
days later in Stratford church. At
death she was 81 years old. Shake
speare died at the of So years.
