Shreveport. June 14—Hhreveport cinched
the lend here yesterday when »he defeated
the Crnekera—6 to 1.
The Atlanta players put up the fnat field
ing game for which they hare been Justly
renowned this year, but unfortunately for
them they could not locate the curves of
(1. Hickman, aud an error assisted them In
getting their only run.
Baxter Bparka pitched steady ball for
the Crnekera, but hla curves were not quite
mystifying enough to put the local hitters
on the Idlnk. And while they did not swat
him out of the lot or anything like that,
they succeeded In getting enough hits to
win quite handily.
The Shreveport sluggers clinched tne
game In the fourth, when they combined
Htlnaon’a error with several bits and tallied
three runs. They scored again In the
sixth nml eighth, but this wna Just for
luck, for the game was cinched.

GRANBY MAY MATCH GANS
TO BOX BATTLING NELSON
By W. W. McNAUGHTON.
n.r Private Lcued Wire.
Han Fnincleeo, June 11—When Hilly
Nolen nnd hie puglllattc protege. Battling
Nrl.cn, poeied through here n week ago
mi their way KnUt, Nolnn had a heart-to-
heart talk with Eddie flraney relative to
futura matehea In which the ltattlcr la
to flgure.
Nolan agreed with tirnnry that Septem
ber 9, the knnlveraary of the Brltt-Nel«on
match, would. be i> .citable occiirion for a
daylight Content with Neham aa one of
the principal!. Further then that. Nolnn
rmiiowered Oranejr, to arrange an event for
the date In nitration and (elect a suitable
opponent for the pane. The only stipula
tion made hy Nolan wa, that the lighter
rho.cn ta bog Xrlnon should be willing to
mnke US pound, at the ring aide.
Ho as to he aura of hla ground Gratify
naked Nolan If Joe Oona wae barred.
Nolnn replied that Oana could have the
match If he could ranks the weight.
Graney Itellevea that a match between
(Inna and Neleon would create more Inter
rat than any other pugilistic event that
could be arranged. Ho thinks a return
go between Nelaou and Britt would lie a
strong card, hut-that thla would be a
stronger one.
"I think Dana has. heen erltlclsed too
harshly for hla poor showing with Lewi,."
aahl Graney. "It waa aa affair at which
there war no referee nnd no tutting. Of
one thing yon may Im* sure. If Gana Itoies
Nelson In Han Francisco the eonteet will
he entirely on the level. At that I'm
not saying that Gnns\and Nelson will he
the card. It may Im Nelson and Britt or
Nelson and Khl Herman.''
Graney says from hla personal observa
tion. na well aa from aearehtng Inquiries
he made while Gana was In ramp here at
different times, he feel, aure that Gana
ran do IS ring aide wlthont affecting hie
lighting etrengtb.
Ornney think. It very likely that boxing
will Im resumed la Han Francisco before
Hrptrmber. He received a telegram from
Chicago today (.king him to I,Id for a
match between Nelaon and Kid Herman
and Is of the opinion that the maettng
will attract a targe crowd If arranged for
Jnly or Augutt. He atao considers a match
between Jack O'Brien and Bam Berger,
a ring errnt of great promise, but believes
that the principals would want two or
three month, to Pfepar, themaelrea for
tha struggle.
