SEES NEW CHAMP IN
 LIGHTWEIGHT CLASS
White is IhG Prophet and fxp}ctS
 to Be jh5 Gimp, Also.

New York. Jau. 2o.--Training to meet the champion of the world is quite to the liking. of Charley White. the Chicago lightweight, who will face Freddie Welsh in q ten-round boxing match at Madison square Garden next Tues iay night. The lean. lunkN lad from the Windy City tipped the beam al 136 pounds yesterday afternoon, after strenuous workout. and s2 i'd that he expected tn enter the ring with Welsh at about IRA roun~!@. The night he boxed &husruc hc balanced the scales at l2S 1-d pounds net. White declared yesterday that he would surely defcat the clever little Rriton, and calmly declared that it would not he surprising if he became the new lightweight champion.
 White is perhaps the coolest man in the world in and out Of the ring. He is of that type which is rot 9ToTsc to telling of deeds performed in the ring, and Charley likes to talk of some of his battlest He insists that he had N clsi on the run in their, last hattle. and makes no bones about pre- dieting a victory for himself on Tuesday,

 Nate Lewis, Charlcys manager, shares the confidence of his charge. "Therc will he q new Lightweight champion of the world next Wednes- day morning." said Lewis. "Charley will go right after the English cham pion from the gong tap, and, if he is defeated. will doff his hat and admit Welsh is the better man.
 But. in the meantime. the top notch men are not tumbling over themselves to give Jack Rritton a chance to get little money. Jack has challenged them all until he is blue in the face, but to no purpose whatever. He is simply ignored. and would like to know why. He has defeated all the men he ever faced, with the exception of PaCky Mcfarland.

Waterbury Still Crying Baby Over Basketball Game in This City
 Claim Referee Was Blind.

Waterbury is still complaining Of rough treatment on the part of the New Britain High school basketball five in the game against Crosby High school in this city last Saturday night. The Waterbury Republican prints the following:
 "One big trouble the local men found as an obstacle to playing clean and fair game was the bl'nd- ness of the referee, who apparently had seen little of a basketball contest at any time previous to this contest, for in calling fouls. he was sadly not at home his keenness of vision even being upbraided by the New Britain followers. The rooters generously applauded the local men whenever they scored a point, their appla use being generous to an unexpected de- gree.
 ''Thc New Britainites had Crosby 6 to 3 when the real rough work be- gan, and at the windup, the local mon got the uglier end of the bar gain. Even the tall Beers at center could get scarcely a single jump, be cause in jumping. he had to lift his man with him. and after a while. the extra load became too heavy. The New Britain men pulled off some few other odd and weird stunts, and al- ways get more than the benefit of the doubt from the Chief Soup Cooler, who may be better known as the ref cree. At one time, Beers got un- willingly mixed up in an argument or the like. and received few pokes from one of his opponents. Natur- ally, he made d stab at stopping this. just in time to be horribly nailed by the presiding official. who put him
 out of the game. Then Captain Fay Tor explained the situation, and with drew from the court with his men. , Then the referee, after q long con ference and much persuasion, Era-
 CiouSlN announced change of de- Cision, and the game was resumed Hf-
 ter a double foul was called. In all, five fouls were the total. three being on CroShy.'

IN PUGILIsT1C ANNALS.

1S96--Joe Choynski knocked out Jim Hall in 18th round at Maspeth N. '. This was the final important ring appearance of HalL the great Australian middlcwci%ht Like SO many other famous boxers, Hall failed to provide for his future when the providing was good. and his latter years were spent in poverty. He died about two years ago in NisCon- sin. and his friends, who had looked after him in his last days. buried his body at Noenah. Hall was Il native of Sydney, and was about 20 when he began boxing. He fought his way up to the Australian middlewcight champ pionShp, his victims including Bob Fitzsimmons, although this bout was probably a fake. Jim landed in san Francisco in 1891. and in 1893 was matched with Fitzsimmons for the middleweight title. They fought in New Orleans, and Bob won by q knockout in the 4th round. Hall then went to England, but later returned and fought Choynski.

The quintet representing the New Haven High school will furnish the opposition to tho last going New Brit ain High school basketball team ~n the next homo game on Saturday, evening. and from nh reports fl will be tho strongest kind of opposition. In fact the management believes that the game will be faster than the game last week for New liavcn's record need only be recalled to prove this statement. Anosnia High school and NauEatuck High have bowed before tho strong New Haven team on their own floors and even Crosby High s among their list of victims. Prac- tically every team New Haven has encountered this season has been sae- rihced to their worth and they win try to vent some of this anger on New Britain by cndcavoring to de- feat them on their own court
 In past years New Haven and New Britain were tho keenest Of rivals on tho basketball court but a breach in basketball relations occurred thfee years ago and this coming contest will be the first since that time. The contest next Saturday will he fought with all the possible strength Of both teams. The visitors will come up prepared to win but it will be re- mcmberod that Crosby High came In the same manner.
 One of the best prcliminaries that have been played this season will be staged when the second team and the Tabs" enter the arena. The second team although lighter than their advcrsaries have the advantage of playing on their own floor and they expect to make the most of this ad- vantage. The High school youngsters are confident of victory but their more experienced opponents may spring a big surprise. This game will start at 7:3O r. M

In his travels he avoided cities and towns as much as possible and put up at farm houses.

Freddie Welsh is not the first prominent boxer to become addicted to the practice of the strange rites of vegetarianism. The Welshman has got a lot of publicity from his meatless diet stunt, but he IS pulling old stuff. The original 'Vegetarian Champion" was Kid Parker, who was a prominent welterweight some fir teen years ago. The Kid was or Scotch decsent and his real name was William Elroy Parker. He was born in Boston just thirty eight years ago today. Jan. 20. 1877. Incidentally. today is also the anniversary of the birth of another famous Welterweight of that period, Jim "Rube' Ferns who made his mundane debut in Pittsburg on Jan. 20, 1874. The "Rube," one of the most eccentric Of modern boxers, held the welterweight title for d short period. Parker, the Vegetarian champion,' never quite at tained to that honor, although he fought a ten round draw in Denver with Matty Matthews, shortly after the latter had attained stellar welter- ! weight honors by defeating 'Mysetri 1 ous" Billy Smith.

DOG BETTER THAN FRANCHISE.
Waterbury Sportsman Holds Eastern
 Association Membership Lightly.

John Lilley of Waterbury does not intend to buy the Waterbury franchise in the Eastern association. Make no mistake about that. When asked if il was true that ho intended to take this step he replied:
 No, l don't intend to buy the fran chise of the Waterbury club or any other baseball franchise. l would rather buy a yellow dog than pay for a baseball franchise because one can kick a yellow dog.
 But l do hope that some Water- burian will buy the franchise or at least that the team Is kept here ncXt year. If the club Is purchased. how ever, you can bet I won't have any thing to do with it."

jFrom Fridays paily.)

Prescott will have Is delegates to the Arizona Good Roads Association meeting at Flagstaff, October 9, five each being appointed by the board of supervisors and Prescott Auto Club and five more to be appointed by the Chamber of Commerce. That the conference will be one of the best and largest ever held in the State is certain for President Dwight B. Heard, of the association, in letter 10 the chamber, states that he is as- sured that the good roads men from all over the State will be in attend ancc, and it is also expected that rep resentatives from the California High way Commission and from the Fed eral Bureau of Good Roads will be present.
 Another important matter taken Up by the chamber last night was the adoption of a resolution asking the States representatives in the senate and the house to present some plan to congress for further protection for the cliff dwellings scattered through out the State. A letter is to be sent to Congressman Carl Hayden, at Tempe, asking him to take Up the matter during the coming session.
 The action was taken because 1t has been reported that the ruins are being destroyed by unintcrested par ties and soon will be put out of exist encc.
 It was decided to run the advcr- tisement recently placed in the Min ing and Engineering World, advertis- ing Yavapai county's mineral wealth, for another four weeks, as it has al ready brought in many answers from all over the country. It is expected that ill this way new capital will be brought into the county to develop the many mines which are idle be cause of lack of money.

John L. Sayrc, a prospcctor who arrived in the city Thursday from the Hassayampa section, stated few days ago he discovered the remains of human skeleton at a point ill a ravine about five miles southwest oi the saddle on the Copper Basin road way. The skull was in a clump oi brush, while other portions of the body were strewn around, indicating that a cloudburst washed them away. The clothing had withcred into frag- ments, and it is his belief the per son had died many years ago. Twelve feet from the skull he picked up $2.6s in silver. and pocket knife gave the only clue to the name of the owner, with initials of "H. E. W." cut on the bone handle. Henry E. Whiting answers that name, but the latter passed away several years ago at Castle Hot Springs.

Reviewing conditions of the Has sayampa Alfalfa Farms Company. W.
 P. Bridgood, the secretary, who is in charge of developing plans, while in the city yesterday from Lonesome valley stated general movement was now under way to carry out the plans formulated in bringing into state of cultivation the entire tract of 5000 acres.
 Planted to alfalfa recently were 1000 acres, which is growing and making headway for a crop this fall. To winter wheat 320 acres have been sown, and 100 acres have been set aside for Sudan grass. Another rye crop is to be cultivated, from the splendid success made last spring. The blowing of another 1000 acres is go- ing ahead, and winter wheat prob ably will be the crop. Water for irri- gation is now abundant for the entire acreage from storage in Lake Wat son. The individual holdings of J. IA. Ol OTO oAlNS, dlN ON ing developed also to winter wheat, and $50 acres have been planted re- gently. MT. Bridgood stated also that next spring will see every acre pro ductive and is as epidemic among farm CTS in this section, Sudan grass will receive attention. The main irrigat- ing canal out of Granite creek will Dc completed and turned over to the company next week, while the laterals to conduct the flow to the lands un- der cultivation, will likewise be ready al that time
 Lake Watson continues to retain its normal heighth, and the subterranean inflow is heavier than the frequent opening of gates to supply those be- low the dam. He is we'll pleased with the situation and anticipates some big next season in crop grow ing.
