EXCITING CONTEST ENDS
IN DEFEAT OF WALTHOUR
For Ihp first llm* on hi* oirn stamping
ground. when all condition* wore favorable,
Bobby Walfhmir. the local favorite, who
holdi twentywvrn «r morn world * records
to niolor-p*ee«l cyrli* events, all of ’em from
the fonf-mllc up to tin* thirty-mil*, was
beaten In the flve-mUt three-bent event at
Piedmont park W»*dne*d*.v evening by
Hughey MeLenn, the Boat mi boy. The me*
waa well worth seeing. and from the pop
of the first starting gun until the starter
flred twlee to end the last heat (several
laps before It was really over) It was n
mere matter of surmise who would In* the
rfe tor.
While Hobby was conquering more worlds
on the other able of the big pond, his Hoe-
eat competitor for world's honors, “Mark."
was doing stunts on elfeular trneks In tin*
laud of tlu* free and the brave. Nineteen
rare* he captured while Hobby was on Ids
tour abroad, and. ns Hobby admitted sev
eral days ago. after the walk-awny with
llnll, of "Merrle Highland," "he's n good
rider."
Walthour raptured the llrat heat by scare*
fifteen feet in 7:23 3-6. The seeoiul heat was
ran off In 7:21 and was by far the most ex
citing of the three, ns It was n continual
see-saw between the riders. Neither, how
ever, gained nt any lime more than a
quarter of a lap. The third heat might
have lieen a disastrous one but for the rool
beads of the pneers. After the Imys had
traveled around the track some forty-six
times and MeU*au waa several yard# to the
good, the starter caught the contagious ex
citement of the 1.000 or more spectators
and "sprung” two guns. Hobby held strad-
lly to his pace, lint McLean wavered and
probably would hi\ve thrown up had not
the I nicer given him some encouraging high
signs. The riders continued around the cir
cle. completing the race before the gun was
again fired. The lasf heat was spun off in
7:44. The record film* for five miles Is 5:61,
made by Walthour May 31, 19)4, nt Charles
llher track.
Thursday night Hobby will have the
chalice to get even with Ills Hostou rival,
ns they pair off for a fifteen-mile go.
The amateur event Inst night was on* of
the slowest which has yet lieen pulled off
lit the track.
Norton captured the race, with Taylor
second and Menken third. Time. 2:26. Til*

getting their only run.
Baxter Sparks pitched steady ball for
the Crackers, but his curves were not quite
mystifying enough to put the local hitler*
on the blink. And while they did not swat
him obit of the lot or, anything like that,
they succeeded In gutting enough hits to
win quite handily.

GRANEY MAY MATCH GANS
TO BOX BATTLING NELSON
By W. W. McNAUGHTON.
By Private Leased Wire.
San Francisco, June 14.—When Hilly
Nolan and his pugilistic protege, Battling
Nelson, pawed through here a week ago
on their way Fast, Nolan had a hrart-to-
lieart talk with Kddle Ornney relative* to
future matches in which the Ilattlor Is
to figure.
Nolan ngreed with Ornney that Septem-
lw*r 9, the anniversary of the Hrltt-Nelson
match, would be n suitable occasion for a
daylight contest with Nelson as one of
the principals. Further than that, Nolan
empowered Ornney to arrange nu event for
the date In question nud select a suitable
opponent for the Datfc. The only stipula
tion made by Nolan was that the lighter
chosen to box Nelson should 1m* willing to
make 133 pound* nt the ring side.*
So iis to be sure of his ground Ornney
naked Nolan If Jon Onn* was barred.
Nolan replied that Onns could have the
match If he could make the weight.
Ornney believe* that a mutch between
Onup and Nelson would create more Inter
est than any other pugilistic event that
could be arranged. He thinks a return
go between Nelson and Britt would be n
strong card, but that this would be n
stronger one.
"I think Onns has been criticised too
harshly for his poor showing with Lewi*,"
said Oraney. "It wo* an affair nt which
there was no referee and no betting. Of
one thing yon may be *tire. If Onn* lioxes
Nelson In San Francisco the contest will
be entirely on the level. At that I’m
not saying tbnt Oan* and Nelson will be
the card. It may be Nelson and Britt or
Nelson nud Kid Herman."
Oraney says from "his personal observa
tion* a* well ns from searching Inquiries
he made while Onn* was In camp here nt
different time*, he feel* snip that Onn*
can do 133 ring side without affecting hi*
fighting Htrcngth.
Oraney think* It very likely that boxing
will be resumed In San Francisco before
September. Ho received a telegram from
Chicago today asking him to bid for n
match between Nelson and Kid Herman
and I* of the opinion that the meeting
will attract a large crowd If arranged for
July or August. He also consider* n match
between Jack O'Hrlen and Sam Berger,
h ring event of greut promise, but believe*
that the priuclpnl* would want two or
three months* to prepare themselves for
the struggle.
DOPE FROM ALL OVER
Catcher Kmlle Frit* has lieen suspended
by Manager Ollks. lie I* suffering with n
tore arm nud will hardly lie In shape to
go Into the game for several week*. In
the meantime the wires nre being worked
