YESTERDAY'S WINNERS.
Butte, ; Portland, S.
Helena, 3; TacOma, 1.
Spokane, 9; Seattle, S.
Manager MeC.ronkey of the Butte team
kept his word yesterday and did not try
to tangle up the umpire. In fact, he
could not, even If he so desired. Mr.
Cunningham was absolutely Impartial In
his decisions and there coutd have been
no "kick" coming from either side. " It
was one of the cleanest games ever
played on the local diamond. Portland
lost, and that was all there was to it
Butte simply played better ball and won
the game fairly and squarely, so there
was no kick coming, unless It was among
thOBe who backed the home team, and
they got a run for their money.
Roach, In the box for the.. visitors, did
excellent work and showed that he Is
well worthy of a, position1 In the National
League. Yesterday's game made the 11th
out of 12 games he has won since he
joined forces . with McCroskey. Both
teams put up un excellent fielding game.
Anderson was there with bells and car
ried off the honors of the day, whllo Vun
Buren was a close' second. Both took
chances ut everything th,at came their
wa yand neither hiulMn error chalked up
against him. Little Sammy behind the
plate also covered more territory than
was his share, but escaped with but one
technical error. The six he pulled down
would do credit -to any one.
But the Butte boys must riot be over
looked at any stage of the game. They
are all fast ball players and are dan
gerous at any time. Manager McCroskey
said upon arriving here that Portland was
liable to land the pennant ' again, but
that was "hot-air." He Is looking for It
himself and expects to land It with his
high-salaried team. The score:

, NEW YORK. July '3. Mrs. Robert
Fltssimmons feels as confident of suc
cess for her husband in the contest with
Jeffries as she' did on the eve of the
conflict at Carson City, where she played
a spectacular part. Writing from Skaggs
Springs to her brother, Martin Julian, aho
says: . . .
"I think Bob will win from Jeffries this
time, though I never have underesti
mated Champion Jeffries' fighting pow
ers. The first time he fought JIM : he
certainly did not. take """the eon test seri
ously, and as you and I had to keep at
him continually to make him get in any
kind of shape. ' , 2, '
"I was at no tims really certain, but
today I ' can honestly say. I think Bob
will win this fight, and win quickly. If
Jeffries will only go after him Bob will
give him such a shaking up from the
start that he wIM forget all he ever
knew. : .".''. " '

CORBKTT TOUTS, JEFF.
NEW YORK, July 23.-Jim Corbett
expects the champion to knock Fits out
'ng before the limit. Corbett says that
while he considers Fltzslmmons one of
the most dangerous men In the ring, fie
expects Jeffries to do the trick in about
10 rounds.
"I do not underestimate Fltzslmmons'
ability. He Is dangerous man at any
stage of the game. He always lus 4
punch, and ft's a punch that generally
gets the winner's and of the purse. While
I think. Jeffries will win, I don't be
lieve he Is a 10 to 4 favorite as quoted.
If Fltzslmmons Is e-olna to win he will
have to do so early In the bout.
"The longer the' battle continues the
better will Jeffries' chnnces be. 1 would
like to see Jeffries win. and If he; Is
the victor I will take the train the day
after the fight for the Coast We are
practically matched to meet August 80,
but should Jeffries bv an -chance lose
the match it will be off."
"TURNER CONFIDENT.
A Stocketon, Cat., dispatch says:
"Rufe Turner, who will fight Gans fn
Oakland next Thursday night has taken
off weight In a surprising manner the
last few days,' Rufe now weighs lets
than 135 but la' "fn "splendid shape. He
will do very little road work fromnow
on. This afternoon he did a big stunt
with the gloves. He did several fast
rounds with George Eckhurdt. who is a
remarkably good fighter. Then Langley
fought boxing is too mild ji term three
rounds with Rufe. The Stockton light
weight hud not turned a hair by this
time.
"Charley Turner, Rufe's half brother,
once a famous man in the ring, men
went five rounds With Gans' prospective
opponent. Charley employed all his old
time cleverness and strength, but Rule
beat him to the punch every time. Tur
ner will do no work tomorrow. The only
fear his friends have Is that he may
go too fine. It Is now estimated that a
thousand Stockton sports will attend
the fight. All are admirers of Turner,
who will bet their money on the Stockton
scrapper. ' Turner is sure of winning. His
confidence is equalled only by hi
punch."
Billy Delaniy, the famous trainer, was
discussing the Cans-Turner contest yes
.Hlt.vuiA p&( in. his .usual nalm and
wise fashion. He said: -uaus oetler rtOt
take any chances with this fellow Tur
ner. He has a punch in either hand, and
If he lands it 1 on Joe there will be a
new champion next Thursday night. Gans
must make a' careful fight against-Rufe
and he will win. I see Joe has to train
down to make the weight. That is too
bad."
DONOVAN-JACKSON.
Los Angeles sports will certainly see a
swell bout Tuesday evening when Mike
Donovan and Young Peter Jackson meet
In their 20-round go. Both men ere. hard
hitters and came to the core, which Is
about all a man needs, coupled with
science, to get to the top..
Donovan's two fights with Al Nelll in
the South, made for him a good following
and his recent knockout of Tim Murphy
in IS rounds Dlaced him up the list In
the Southern city but his Eastern repu
tatlon Is enough to carry him anywhere
on the map.
He is about the only man In the ring
who has met Philadelphia Jack O'Brien
and slipped him the big scare. O'Brien
would rather meet, any middleweight in
the world than fight Welterweight Jack
inn mrnln. Peter's last go W8S With
Bob Long, who lasted 16 rounds, the po
lice stopping the go to save him from
further punishment.
INTEREST REVIVED.
In the London Sportsman of last month
there appears an Interesting and appar
ently a very fair resume of the fights
contested in that country during the cor
onation tournament It will be of espe
cial Interest to Americans, inasmuch as
the boxers from this side are given credit
for doing splendid work, and incidentally
reviving Interest in the manly art, which
has been dormant there of late years.
Of the American scrappers Ryan and
Walcott came in tor fulsome praise, par
ticularly the former, who simply astound
ed the Britishers by his superb clever
ness and ring generalship. Kid McFad
den Is likewise given due credit for mak
ing a resolute fight against Jordan, who
was pounds heavier.
FOR GOOD THAT
THEY CAN DO
At the last meeting of the Indo-American
League, held St tbs home, of Mrs.
Frame, on the Heights, a paper was read,
showing the need of watchful care over

The success with which the can-

ceeds the expectations. Yesterday
afternoon more than one-half of

and the solicitors are certain they

the business men Is'that 32500 Is
not sufficient to accomplish the de
sired results, and many favor rais
ing twtce that amount.
Since there Is such a unanimity
of willingness on the part of the
people to help In this undertak'
Ing, another plan has been taken
up for still further advertising the
4-
, resources of the state. While this
committee Is at work, an effort Is
to be made to raise sufficient
funds, about $2500, with which to
place a permanent exhibit at the
Union depot. This exhibit will con
sist of the various products of tho
state, set oft into different sections
according to the counties which
contribute to the exhibit together
with literature advertising the par
ticular section. This undertaking
Is meeting with encouragement
equal to that of the former plan
of advertising the state by litera- -ture.
f Some of the business men of the
city are complaining that the"
amount sought Is too small. One
enthusiast declared that the fund -f
should be maoe m,ouv itmoo- utr

The dates are the main article of sue
tenance of the pilgrims,, and , they are
given their1 sweet, rich flavor by the hot
suffocating wind . called the emoum
which ripens them "and brings -out the),
nourishing juice. While these winds
help to provide food for the wayfarers,
they are also the worst enemy tha pil
grims have.. They blow with an lncon
celvable speed and violence, turning the
desert into a tossing sea of billowy clouds
of sand, so that it looks like an angry;
yellow ocean. The Arabs smell the ap
proachlng storm and throw themselves
on their stomachy oq the ground andT
cover themselves with cloaks, and thrust
dataVtonoa in their nostrils till the storms
is print, but the foreign pilgrims, lnex
pcrlcr-..a in these storms, often lose thels
lives, ' not knowing how to protect them'
selves. '' ' - " '
