If Shuster Is a Itotter umpire than Ruck t*y It has not lieen proven.-Birmingham Bat Nelson Gets the Edge On the Negro, Joe Cans By W. W. NAUGHTON. By Private Leasts! Wire. Goldfield, Ncv., Aug. 30.—Tho ennip today In talking of the way Manager Billy Nolan contrived to pare an ex tra pound or two off the fighting weight of one Joe Guns. The sports here, who, by the way, are not toaalng bouquetn at the mild- mannered young man who guides tho ring destinies of the "Terrlblo Dane.” They considered him too unbending. They think he crowded Gans a little too far and incidentally ran a monu mental bluff on the enterprising ath letic organization at the Goldfield Ath letic (Mub. But Billy don't mind this temporary evldenco of disfavor. "I am In this business to do the best I can for Nelson, nnd I am not over looking anything,” he said. Well, It’s all over now, and maybe— maybe—the Goldfield promoters will have no more stumbling blocks to hur- rass them between now and I*ul>or Day. Of course Larry Kulllvnn Is holding Gans and Is beyond doubt loyal to the colored lad’s Interest, but the trick of piloting a pugilist Is not learned in a week or a month. What Gans wantel in the present Instance was some one of trained Intelligence In prize fight manipulation. You may cause a shud der to link tho names of A1 Hereford and Gans, but If Hereford hud as sisted Gnns In the making of this match the negro would not have to knock under on almost every point. Neither would he have been made to attend meetings iartlng far In the night and subject himself to the ner vous tension Involved In hitter wrang ling while his prospective opponent was urled up In the blankets asleep. The question now Is how will a new ur- ungement about the weight affect Gans? He expected to go Into the ring car rying 133 pound* of fighting weight, 133 pounds of muscle, gristle und bone, as Referee Siler called It. Instead, he will have to weight at least a pound and a half less, and even at that. It will exercise his in genulty to devise a costume that, to gether with a pair of ring brogues, will weigh ns little as a pound and a half. He will do It, of course, for he must protect his forfeit of $5,000, but what a lanky, rlbby specimen of human fight ing man he will be. Tho change will not affect his strehgth to any extent, but It will surely affect the betting. There is no doubt of Nelson's ability to do 133 pounds and a pound or so less, but considering that Guns has much more to lose, the betting will probably change. Gans, while angered nt the turn of affairs, has not lost heart. He says It means a little harder work und close: figuring, but he will do 133 In battle array nnd whip Nelson to a frazzle. Nolan professes to believe that the difference, whatever it may be, will not be bearing on the result of the fight. It Is simply a matter of making the best terms, says Billy, and he docs not mind taking the whole world Into his confidence and declaring his belief that Nelson can whip Gans at any weight. "I make a study of this business," said Nolan, "and I know that Gans has weighed as low as 131 In other fights. Of course he will he stronger with a few more pounds on him, and I am free to confess that Battling Nelson would he stronger at 135 than at 133. That aside from the question. "Championship rules call for a ring side welghln, a fact which Gans' man agers might have overlooked," said Nolan. "I know Nelson could make the notch without trouble nnd I was determined that the other fellow should also." Nolan says he figures on the defeat of Guns by wfiat happened In his fight with Walcott. LORD BYRON ASSAULTED *e«’lnl to Tim Georgian. Jacksonville. Fla., Aug. 30.—Umpire Byron was assaulted at the Aragon hotel last night by McKernan and Hhlppy, of the Augusta team. The trouble arose over a decision yesterday’s game here. Augusta lost. | Both players were fined $25 by Pres ident Boyer, of the league. Manager Ranslek, of Augusta, was fined and chased from the grounds. Catcher Tom Carson, of Augusta, hns been sold to Portland, Oregon, hut will finish the season here. Wc^tch Brotman Grow. M’CAY GETS NO-HIT GAME j League Standings More Cripples Are Added To the Atlanta Team's List By PERCY WHITING. Special tn Tho Georgian. New Orleans, La., Aug.

The Jordan case Is due to come up today., the charge being netlt larceny, brought by C. Frank because of that now celebrated rubber ball Incident Smith was In consultation this morn ing with a lawyer. Wanderers Rest Thursday After Fierce Campaigning By PERCY WHITING. New Orleans, Aug. 30.—The Wanderers re resting today, after their atrenuou* campaign nf the past eleven days. In which they played twelve game* nnd won nine. They deserve the rest, for they have lieen fish ting not only strong teams, hut hostile crowds and home umpires. There Is no par* tleular klek to he made on the umpiring, hut nt the same time decisions naturally broke In favor of the home tennis. In nddltlon to the foes enumerated In the foregoing paragraph, an army of mosquitoes at Memphis. Little Book and Hhreveport took up the battle where those team* left off and made things miserable for the Geor gia athletes. The team la in line lighting trim. The men liellere they cannot bine. Things are hrcnklng well for them; they are batting heavily nnd the pitchers are doing their task in Jam-up shape. The conviction that they are the lw»*t team in the league and that they cannot lose is the strongest card they have. Ball players go a long way on their feeling of confidence. Harley will doubtless pitch the opening game against the Pelicans. He Is iu form,* as his last two victories show. Kellar will work Hnturdny and I/ughes Sunday.

The four men are: Winters. Smith. Morse. Jordan.

But Jordan, Winters nod Smith have been cloutlug the sphere for keeps. Jordan hns got four triples. Winters has got four doubles and one triple. Smith has got two doubles and two triples.
