JACK DEMPSEY AND WILLIE MEEHAN MAY
 SOON BE MATCHED

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. T. Fol lowers of pugilism here are interested in the efforts being made by certain local promoters to arrange a bout be- tween the worlds champion heavy weight boxer Jack Dempsey and Will ie Meehan. a local product in view ot the fact that the Californian laws pro hibit any boxing matches except be- tween amatuers for medals or cups.
 The last time these two men met in the ring. Meehan was awarded the de- cision in a four round bout which was eapcd for the benefit of one of the war funds. the principals being awarded silver cups for their performance. As four rounds is the limit allowed by law. it is hardly expected that Demp- sev is likely to be willing to risk his title for the sake of "medal" in such a short fight. Even should he be will- ing to engage in "no'decision" af' fair. ring followers are wondering what sort of medal" would have to be offered as an inducemsnt.

COW MOOSE ATTACKS
 MAN ON HANDCAR AND
 EXCITING TIME IS HAD

w. w. Flynn. at Mile 2l. on the government railroad. had an experien- ce with a COW moose the other day which he will long remember. After this. Flynn intends to carry some sort of firearm instead ofonly a crowbar and a shovel. so if any old COW moose wants to raise the mischief. something is going to drop.
 Flynn was riding along on his hand car. going at an average handcar ga't when suddenly there appeared on the track, about 100 feet ahead of him. d large COW moose with her calf. Before Flynn could stop his car the moose had started in his direction, reached the car and climbed aboard.
 Now anybody who knows anything about moose and haDdcars knows that the two are dangerous things when combined, especially if there is third article to be considered. The moose looked over the handle bars at FlynH' and Flynn looked at the moose. Then Flynn looked for a place of safety and turning. sprinted for q telegraph po'e.
 The Moose turned and sprinted right after Flynn. Now again any body who knows anything about .cl- egraph pole knows that unless one can climb said pole. when chased by wi!l animal. something is going to occur also they know that the distance around the pole is short and furnishes little protection from the wild animal.
 Well. Flynn could not climb the pole because the moose kept ticking the back of his neck with his chin whiskers. so close were the two n making a wirlhigig of the pole. But around and around the man and moose went sometimes in wide circle but more often in a small circle around that pole.
 Several dogs heard the queer race and started down the track to take q look. The moose. waiting to catch his breath. looked at the dogs, then at Flynn, and took after the dogs. Flynn went back to his handca" and started to hit the rails at a 2:40 clip. The clip was heard by the moose which turned and started after Flynn and his man propelled machine. The moose over took the handcar but at this moment several track men were encountered and they took hand in the antics "t the moose. None of them had a gun v the men joined in an offensive move ment and started after the moose. The calf called the mother. as if saying that it was dinner time. the moose turned and with the calf disappeared over the hill and into the brush.
 Flynn has just recovered his wind
