New York, Aug. 4.—Only four horses
fsce the bsrlrer today for the running
of the $16,000 Brighton derby, a con

Monday.

New York. Aug. 4.—The prospects for a
fight lietween James Edward Britt and Ter
ry McGovern are as slim ns ever. These
two boy* received an offer of a 110,000
puree to appear before the sports of Gold
fields, Nev., on Labor day. Whatever
Britt thinks about the purse does not real
ly matter, non* that Joe Humphreys, Ter
ry's manager, haa expressed himself on the
matter. Joe aaya:
••The only conditions Terry, would accept
are a lift,ooo purse and a big guarantee-
lit $7,500. He still dings to the conditions
he announced some time ngo as regards
the match with Britt.'*
This attitude on the part of McGovern
Is enough to kill the match.
Hughey McGovern, the featherweight of
Brooklyn. Is matched to meet Tony' Los
song, of Dnryea, Pa., the latter part of
this month, for fifteen rounds, at Plym
outh, Mass.
Joe Galllgan'a match with Harry Lewis
at Grand Haplda haa l»een called off by
Isewl*. Although he stxned the articles,
|<ewts sent word to Match maker Mcpad-
den that he could not go through with It,
aa the weight—132 pounds at 3 o’clock—It
too low for him.
Tom McCarey, manager of the Pacific
Athletic Club of Los Angeles, la trying
to remJtch Frankie Nell and Abe At-
tell lie would like to have the boya In
a fifteen-round bout early next month.

NELSON WILL FIGHT JOE GANS
TO FINISH FOR $30,000 PURSE
By Prlvata Leased Wire.
pNew York, Aug. 4.—The following telegram from Battling Kelson
tells of hts having been matched to fight Joe Gan* at Ooldfleld, Nev., for a
purse of 330.000:
Balt Lake, Utah. Aug. J.—Tad, New York.—Well, they finally came
In with the money. Tex Rickard, of Goldfield, .Nev., offered ISO.OOO for
our fight. Money la In Goldfield bank. Fight Labor Day, In open air.
I only Insist on 133 ring side, and a fight to a finish, so that either Clans
or I will be the real undisputed lightweight champion of the world. No
limited rounds with Gana for me, aa the one man In this world I want to
beat, and I think in a finish fight I am a sure winner. One thing Is cer
tain, I w in either win or die In the attempt. If we fight all day to do It.
Hope to see you at the ringside.
• Have long put Cans off, as he was a self-confessed fakir, but the
public craved a real championship fight, and they came through with the
real money, and I have never refused to fight anything If It looks like a
fighter, If the maxurna* Is In fight. (Signed) BATTLING NEL8QN."
Biff!
Biff, biff!
Ouch! Ouch! Help! ■
What was It hit us?
Felt like a combination of oarthquakn,
hurricane, steamboat explosion aud free
fight.
Alas, though, It was only two straight
shut-puts at the hands of the Climber*.
And Jim Fox Ii hurt ami out of the
gams.
This Is the hardest blow of all.
The two most tylunble men on the team
were Archer and Fox. Flrfit, Archer was
put out, and now It Is Fox.
Well, one thing sure: Wo kuowr bow
to sympathies with Shreveport.
There Is no denying that every Atlanta
fan Is mighty blue. However, this Is the
time they demonstrate that they nro as
good losers as winners.
Don't blame the Crackers for having
played such a poor game after Fox wns
hurt. You would have done no better
yourself.
there Is no excuse for working him to
pieces.
Three gnrnes In the National League Fri
day wore won by scores of 2 to I, aud oue
by a score of 1 to 0.
Shuster's disregard for the ordinary
ruloH of veracity Is something appalling:
In The Montgomery Advertiser he says:
•'It was ton dark to play."
••Smith struck me on the shoulder."
The first statement la not true, and the
second la—well, nil who saw It know what
the second statement Is.
Billy I'livle has changed his inlnd again,
and will try It with the 8t. Louis Na
tional*. It la understood that be Is to
get 3400 a month.
"Cy" Seymour, who wit* sold by Cin
cinnati to New York, want* a slice of
that 310,000 that John Toutb Brush gave up
for hi* service*. Until he gets It, bo lays
he will not play baseball.
Though lm*cb(\)l hn* been played for
over sixty year*, nnd though the game ha*
flourished professionally for more tlinu
forty. It eiM'iii* to be so new in some
places that the most ordinary rules nlmut
It are no! known.
Take Montgomery, for example. The
Ik>x score sent out from there Friday con
tained n note, "Hausen called out for Ii|cr-
fere nee.”
It would seem that baselaill has been
played long enough so thnt the offlclnl
scorer there woohl know the rule#, and
Once In a while the big leaguers slip score such n piny correctly. The rules
ner being declared out for Interference
. . . the ‘out* should bo credited to
the player who would have made the play
but for hte action of the baae runner or
the announcement of the umpire."

CAN8 IN BAD HEAL^Tt FROM
TOO MUCH WORRY.
Into pretty poor baseball. Even such
•tnra aa Cleveland snd rhlladclphln have
their off games. Look at Friday's: Cleve
land tuade seven runs, eight bits and live
errors, Philadelphia made ten runs, nine
hita and four errors, and the game, though
only nine Innings, lasted two hours aud
twenty minutes.
I leaver abut Augusts out Friday. The
big boy Is pitching well these days.
Well, In our day we have seen some queer
scoring, but a new one came out of Nash
ville Friday. In a note under the ttoi
score of -the game was the following:
!*ctir*on down, run to first when be bit
to Clark In the ninth."
Even giving the scorer the benefit of
the doubt In supposing that the won!
"dowu" was meant to be "did not," It
Is obvloua that the pnt ont should have
gone to the first baseman, whether the
ball waa thrown there or not.
Looks aa though Memphis was out to
get her money’s worth out of Llebhnrdt.
Not content with pitching the IhttrhuiaM't
bead off In every double bender, they play
him In the field In other games.
Just because ho Is willing, and tiecauae
he will go to the big league any way.
