BREAKING OF MONTANA STATE BOWIING RECORD AND OTHER NEWSY ITEMS JERRY IS GOING TO GO TO WORK In a Poolroom Up in Meaderville--Ike Hayes Will Fight Croake In Havre Instead of Lewistown--Jack Curran Wants to Wrestle Billy Adams--Welterweight Wants Match. It was it pleasure to watch the bowling last night at the Thornton alleys. It is always a pleasure to see sport of what ever nature reduced to a science, Ihat whenli a bowling is played that would do crelit to the All-American team then to w ite.ss it arouses the enthusiasm of the triue sport. Never before in Butte was better howl ing done. There was not one game inl which either team got less than 5oo, and the average for the Buttes was tol .1-S and for the Silver Ilows 1Ht . 'TIhe lowest individual average for the six men was 174 2a-5. Jerry McCarthy. the \\:lkerville Pet, has found a new vocation. Jerry is going to work for the new. poolroomn that is to be established inl \'alkcrville, and it is needless to say that this room will lie far llmore poplular thanl the othller in colnse qulence. Jerry is fairly worshiped up in the hill city and the folks over that way will back him if they have to mortgage their homes. To see their pet acting as an official in a poolroomt will imake bet ting on tile Ionies very popular, and the _nanageIllelt of the tnew enterprise is to be congrattulatred on sicuring Jerry' s.r vices. Jack ('trras orf Gireat Falls is after a snatch with Hilly Adams, the Butte catch as-catch-cani wrestler. Jack writes that he is ready and anxious to meet Adatms on the mnat snd is willing to hack himself to the exten' of several hundred d,,llars. If Iturran's lights were all on the sutiare he wouhl inder:d be a imareelous wrestler for his weight. ,ot there is sonme doubt as to his standling. lie is a good man- there is ino ainsaying that fact-- but is Ihe goodl enollugh to throw such le as I allonll and Mel.auihlin ?

SITUATION IN WAR OF LEAGUES When t.ucas Gets Back to Seattle Today New Light Will Be Thrown on the Present ~ttys of the Paoific-Northwest and Pirate League--s t Harris Is Promising to Do. As was predicted in these columns et terday, the trouble in the baseball s - tion was caused by Portland's hatre of President Lucas. In fact the soreheads of Portland nt-ke ro "bones" about it. They admit hRtt they have it in for Lucas and that have had a crow to pick with him Wr since he suspended Captain Vigneux for five days last year. Lucas was co t and Marshall and the other howlers r wrong. It seems at this distance that the p ate baseballists of the coast have bitten a bigger mouthful than they can well swal low. They will have to get players from the East-that's no cinch. The Pacific Northwest league owns the Portland play ers and also the Seattle players, and the only way these players could sign under another club would be to jump their con tracts. As Lucas is quoted as saying, jumping one's contract is a serious sort of business these days. President Lucas will probably arrive in Seattle today, and his presence will mean much. lie will act as oil on the troubled waters, and it wouldn't be surprising to learn that the outlaw representatives from California were bluffing after all. One thing that these outlaws promise to do is really amusing to outsiders who are conversant with the management of baseball leagues, and that is the pirates promise not to have a salary limit. Oh, My! Oh, 'My! Oh, My! llenry Harris said yesterday that the best players in the Utnited States would be employed by the proposed new league, and that if necessary the pirates would buck the National and American leagues i se curing players. That is ridiculous on the face of The idea of a league on the Pa itic coast with such poor baseball towns as 'ortland in it paying salaries that would attract a Jennings or a Muggsy McGraw! \Vith Portland and Seattle represented by two teams each, the invaders would do well to clear expenses. The invaders seem to think that he TWENTY-ONE THOUSAND MADE 'IN EIGHT MONTHS That Is the Record of "Philadelpha" Jack O'Brien, Who Has a Lot of Good Bouts to Come. j Twenty-one thousand dollars in eight months is not had pay for any man. but just think of that amount of money being earned by a pugilist, and you will know why this country can liast of so many wielders of the padded mitts. "Philadel phia" Jack O'Brien is the lucky jossessor of that fortune, atnd he made it all with his fists in just eight months. This amount of money was realized by O)'RBien in 3o battles he has fought since April I, which is the greatest numlher of contests fought by any pugilist this year. Previous to this streak of fighting ()O'rien fought i6 Iattles in England, winning all of them andl taking the title of middleweight and heavyweight chiampion of England to America with him. tO'Brien is at present nitched to fight C'harley llaghey of Bos ton, Joe ('hoynski, the Californian, and Marvin Ilart of Iouisville, in six-round bouts at Philadelphia. lie expects to box two men in addition to these three before J;anuary I.

Now, as Lucas said yesterday, the Pacific Northwest league can fit up new grounds, and while this will he pretty ex pensive, the $r,ooo which Portland will forfeit will go a good ways towards meet ing the cost. There is practically nothing new in the situation. If the invaders stick to their dirty plans of trying to disrupt the old league it will be war to the finish, and a war of this kind only means permanent injury to the popular game. Dugdale and Lucas must he upheld in their fight to kill out the outlaws, and if necessary every cent's profit from the games ot the com ing season must be spent in attaining this end. Dugdale Sounded Keynote. Dtugdale sounded the keynote when he said that he made $23,ooo last season, and that he is willing to spend every cent of this to fight fire with fire. The new league that emanated down in the direc tion of the Golden Gate isn't any too rich, and the fight will be an equal one as far as finances are concerned. It is really a question if the new league can furnish as goou an article of baseball as was furnished in the P'acific Northwest league during the last season. The old players have all been tried out and the different managers know just what they can do. To import second-class players from the East (for that's what they'll really do) will give the outlaws all kinds of trouble, and to pay them unlimited sal aries, as proposed, would be throwing fat on the flames. There is no doubt about it-the Pacific Northwest league has the inside track, and to kill the game in this league's cities and drive the legitimate old league out will prove the hardest matter undertaken by a pirate sporting organization in recent years. The die is cast and the fight is on. We'll stand by the old league an;d fight to the last notch. POOR OLD M'AULIFFE IS GOING DOWN THE STREAM Was Recently in Police Court in New York, Charged With Theft-How He Was When at His Best. Jack McAuliffe, ex-lightweight champion, was in the police court the other clay in New York charged with theft. lie was exonerated. McAulire has none of the fortune he earned in the prize ring left, and has to hustle hard to make a living. Jack is now as big as a heavyweight. "It's no wonder poor Jack has no money now," remarked a friend of the ex-cham pion the other day. "''le, like that old gladiator, John I.. Sullivan, did not appre ciate the value of a dollar when he had plenty. To give you an instance of what chances Jack would take with his coin it is only necessary to relate the big wager Jack made on the Corbett-Sullivan fight at New Orleans. Jack was just after win ning a purse of something like $io,ono for whipping Hilly Myers when the Sullivan ('orbett fight was mentioned. 'John L,. will whip that fellow sure,' said Jack. 'To show you what I think of his chances I will just bet this entire wad I am after winning.' lie bet the entire purse. Sullivan lost and poor Jack went home broke."

BEST BOWLING EVER SEEN HERE Nip and Tuck Game Between Buttes and Silver Bows Estab lishes a New Record for Montana and Beats That of the Winners of the Diamond Trophy at San Francisco. The Buttes and the Silver Bows fur nished the best bowling ever seen iMon tana when they fought it out last night at the Thornton alleys. The Buttes had the best of it, but they didn't have a walk over by any means. 'they won four of the five games with a total of 2,877 pins, while the Silver Bows were rolling up a total of 2,7i7 pins. This is actually said to be the highest score ever made in Montana, even over reaching the score made against the All America team that is now touring the West. Billings made the best shllowing of any of the towns against the All-America teanm, and yet the score made last night beats Billings' score by ijo pins. . It beats the score made by the Eugene team 'ot Ban Francisco, the one that won the diamond trophy, by g19 pins. The score 'establishes a state record that will likely stand for mnany months to conle. The Silver Bows put up a better article of bowling than the score would indicate. Frequently they were on the. paint of win ning, when a hard-luck streak Would come up and they would lose to the Buttes by a narrow margin. It will take almost as good howling as that of last night to beat the Billings team. The visitors are said to be in prime shape, but if the Buttes can only hold to last night's standard their friends have no doubt as to the result. Booming It in Billings.

Y1 ASSO('IATID) PI.RESS. Chicago, Dec. 12.-George Gardner, the Pacific coast middleweight, defeated Billy Stift of Chicago in a six-round contest here last night. Stift was decidedly out c:assed and would have succumbed to a knockout had not the bell saved him in the last round. Stift was knocked down eight times during the round and was barely able to walk to his corner. Gardner took matters decidedly easy during the first three rounds and Stift ap peared to have a good chance to break evcen. As soon as the nunt came up for the fourth round, however. ; ardlcr changed his tactics and began playing for his up poinent's stomach. lie lanted his blows witlhout much dliticulty, :and before the end of the round Ihe had Stift in trouble. The fifth was a repetition of the fourth rounid. G;ardner tried hard to finish Sti.l in the last round, but the time was tou short and Stift escaped a knockout.
