about adding a surgeon, a chest of

malaria, maybe. And then Hoffman
has n badly bruised finger, which ren
ders his work painful.
.Manager Smith expects Morse to
show up In time for tomorrow’s game,
but the prompt appearance of Whltey
Is not certain by any means.
Doc Childs has been sent home. The
big fellow appears to la* about all In,
so far as pitching Is concerned, this
year. He sprung a leak In his shoulder
yesterday early In the game.
The Jordan case Is due to come up
today, the charge being netlt larceny,
brought by C. Frank because of that

Goldfield, Nev., Aug. 30.—The camp
today In talking of tho way Manager
Hilly Nolan contrived to pare an ex
tra pound or two off the fighting weight
of one Joe Gann.
The nportn here, who, by the way,
are not tonnlng bouquetn at the mlld-
mnnnered young man who guides tho
ring dentinlen of the "Terrible Dane.”
They considered him too unbending.
They think he crowded Gans a little
too far and Incidentally ran a monu
mental bluff on the enterprlnlng ath
letic orgnnlzntlon at the Goldfield Ath
letic Club. Hut Billy don’t mind thin
temporary evidence of disfavor. ”1
urn In thin biiHlnesn to'do the bent I
can for Nelnon, nnd 1 am not over
looking anything,” he said.
Well, It’s nil over now, nnd maybe—
maybe—the uolcffield promoters will
have no more stumbling blocks to linr-
rann them between now and Labor Day.
of course Larry Hulllvnn In holding
GanH 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 wantef
In the present Instance was some one
of trained Intelligence In prize fight
manipulation. You may cause a shud
der to link the names of A1 Hereford
nnd Gans, but If Hereford had as
sisted Giuis In the making of this
match the negro would not have to
knock under on almost every i»olnt.
Neither would he have been made to
attend meetings lasting far In the
night nnd subject himself to the ner-
* tension Involved In bitter wrang
ling while his prospective opponent was
urled up in the blankets asleep. Tho
luestfon now Is how will a new ar
rangement about the weight affect
Gans?
He expected to go Into the ring car
rying 133 pounds of fighting weight,
133 pounds of muscle, gristle and bone,
as Referee Slier called It.
Instead, he ; will have ^o weight nt
least a pound and a half less, and
even at that. It will exercise his In
genuity 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. The change will
not affect his strength to any extent,
but It will surely affect the betting.
There Is no doubt of Nelson's ability
to do 133 pounds and n pound or so
less, but considering that Gans 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 n little harder work and closet
figuring, but he will do 133 In battle
array and whip Nelson to a frazzle.
Nolan professes to believe that the
difference, whatever It may be, will
not he beating on the result of the
light. It in simply a matter of making
the best terms, says Hilly, and he does
not mind taking the whole world into
his confidence and declaring his belief
that Nelson can whip Gans at any
eight.
"I make n study of this business,”
lid Nolan, "and I know that Gans has
weighed as low ns *131 In other fights.
Of course he will be stronger with a
few more pounds on him, and I am
free to confess that Rattling 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,” swid
Nolan.
I know Nelson could make the notch
without trouble nnd I was determined
that the other fellow should also.”
Nolan says he figures oq the defeat
of Gans by ivhat happened In hla fight
with Walcott.
PIRA TES GET ONE OF SERIES,
SPLITTING DOUBLE-HEADER
By PERCY WHITING.
Shreveport, La., Aug. 30.—Atlanta split even with Shreveport on the
double-header yesterday afternoon, thereby taking the aeries, three game*
to one, Just as at Memphis and Little Rock.
A loud outburst of swats by both teams In the first Inning of the first
gome was followed by an encore on the part of the Atlanta team In the
third, giving the Wanderers the battle by the score of S to 4. Both Beeker
and Sparks were shot to pieces and dragged from the field by the Red
Cross Society, Frits and Hughes replacing them on the firing line. Each
was effective.
The second game wag a contest almost devoid of awatlets. Hickman
held Atlanta safe at alt times, while Doc Childs allowed two hits and one
run In the first Inning. He was replaced in the third by Baxter Sparks
and after that the Pirates got only one hit.
It was a queer thing—the Influence Sparks had over the Piratical
snatsmen. In the Initial Inning of the opening game he gave up three
hits and two bases on balls, yielding four runs, and was yanked out
when only one man had been retired. Then a couple of houra later he
was absolute master of the field. But baseball Is a game of queer things.
Atlanta's run getting In the first game was as follows:
First Inning—Winters singled. Crosier filed out. Smith tripled; Winters
scored. Fox singled; Smith scored. Hoffman singled and stole second.
Fox scored on a passed ball. Jordan walked. Archer filed out to center]
Hoffman scoring. Jordan out In attempt to steal second. Four hits' four
runs. '.
Third Inning—Fox safe on error at first. HofTman out on bunt to
first. Fox to second. Jordan singled. Fox scored. Archer safe at first
on error. Jordan to second. Evers filed out. Hughes singled. Jordan
and Archer scored. Winters hit by ball. Crosier walked. Bases full. '
Smith singled. Hughes scored. Fox walked. Winters forced In. Holf-
man groundered to short. Fox out at second. Three hits;. five runs.
The second game was a boss of another color. Shreveport scored the
only run of the game In the following manner:
Evans singled, but was forced out by Kennedy. Absteln walked. Graf-
flus groundered to short and Absteln was retired at second, but Kennedy
got to third, and scored on Daley's single.
Atlanta’s only Chance to score came In the ninth inning. With two
men out, Sid Smith singled and went to second on a passed ball. Then
Fox walked, but Hoffman filed out.
