TO CHICAGO BY MOTORS
HANSEN PARTY STARTED TO-DAY
Nilsson Is Compelled by Sickness to
Postpone His 1,OOO-Mi1e
Record Ride.

"A. A. Hansen and Eddie Farr of this
city and J. B. Harper OF Enderlin, N. D.,
started at noon to-day for Chicago on
their motor cycles. The trip is taken
mainly for pleasure, but partly also with
the idea Of testing the motor cycle as a.
cross country vehicle. The riders do not
intend to attempt fast time, and have set
$50 or $50 miles as their probable daily
stunt.
The motors have all been geared to low
speed, and fift cen or eighteen miles an
hour will be the average gait. Owatonna
will be the probable termination Of to-
days ride.
While in Chicago Hansen will attempt
the twenty-four hour motor record over the
Garfield park track. This track Is ex-
tremely fast as shown by the fact that
the winner of a five mile motor race held
there July 4 covered the distance in seven
minutes thirty seconds, forty mile an
hour gait.
John Nilsson has been compelled by
stomach trouble to postpone his 1000
mile motor cycle ride until tomorrow.
He hopes to be able to start tomorrow
noon, but If he is not in the best condi-
ton then, the attempt will be put off
until the first of next week.

Regarding the question of territorial
rights of clubs, brought before the

power except the league itself. In the
formation of the league, Brooklyn and
New York were two distinct citiees, each

TRANSFER THE !, FIGHT
FEATHERS GO TO LOUISVILLE
Corbett and McGOvern Contest Will
Not Be Pulled OF in New -
London.

The Corbett-McGovern contest for the
featherweight championship will not take
place at New London, Aug. 29, as was in
tended. The transfer of the contest to
Louisville is almost certainty. .,
Manager Sam Harris,\ acting for both
McGovern and Corbett, had long dis
tance telephone conference with Manager
Gray of the Southern Athletic club OF
Louisville, which resulted in Gray leav-
ing for New York, where the details OF
the transfer arc to be arranged. The an
tagonistic position taken by the authorl-
ties of Connecticut is such that only by
winning a legal battle would the fighters
be allowed to enter the ring, and there is
not much chance of the pugilists win
ming.
1t is said that Gray will make as lib
eral an offer as did the Nutmeg Athletic
club.
Young Corbett has received 100-pound
punching bag from Chicago and Is prac-
ticing body blows upon it. It is similar to
the dummies used by football players for
tackling.
Corbett has developed into a terrific
hitter, and as McGovern was never a
good defensive fighter, the champion 8
admirers figure but one ending to the
battle. Manager johnnie Corbett thus
sizes up the situation. .
young Corbett is superior to Terry in
everything but Quickness. MoGovern is
usually fast, but as Corbett has improved
so much in his work there will not be the
difference noted last Thanksgiving. Cor
bett is more rugged and stronger, he has
a better head, his hands are larger and
stronger and he will be couple of pounds
| heavier. McGovern's stronghold is his
| in-1ghting, and this suits Corbett to a
dot. The harder Terry comes at Corbett
the better will he be pleased, and every
blow Of Corbett's will be like two of Nc
| Governs.'
There is no doubling the feeling OF
confidence that Is apparent in the Cor
bett camp. The champion is being put in
great shape. Besides his fifteen rounds
daily with three fast boys he wrestles
with Larry Tuthill and does his work un.
finchingly. He fairly glows with health
and his appearance will be a revelation
to even those who are familiar with we'll
conditioned athletes.

ADELAIDE IS WINNER
TAKES FIRST RACE AT OSHKOSH
Third, While Anita Of Neenah
Is Second.

Robert Nunnemacher' 20-footer Ade-
laide, with Steve Davis of Neenah at the
tiller, yesterday afternoon won the first
race of the annual regatta of the Osh-
kosh Yacht club in runaway style, lead
ing home fleet of four tried racers with
a margin of several minutes.
Anita of Neenah, sailed by w. L. Davis,
father of the skipper of the winning craft,
was second; Challenge, Walter Dupee's
craft, was third, and Caroline Of Oshkosh,
the property of F. H. Libbey and last
years champion, was last.
The race was started in half gale from
the southeast, with murky atmosphere
and heavy sea. The course was three
mile triangle, twice around. The first
stretch was almost dead heat to wind
ward. The second stretch was free

ing head rails.
The race was won and lost on the first
leg. In the heavy sea and wind the Ade-
laide outpointed and outfooted, her rivals
and rounded the first buoy a minute and
a half ahead Of the Caroline, which was
second. From that time the Milwaukee
yacht was never headed nor was she at
any time in danger. - The Challenge,
which is White Bear product, labored in
the sea and wind, though she showed
great bursts Of speed lin the free runs.
The race constituted the first heat for
the trophy Of the Oshkosh Yacht club.

IT'S TOO MUCH TROUBLE
SAY MINNETONKA YACHTSMEN
Local Boats Will Not Be Represented
at Regatta of Inland Lakes
Association.

It is quite improbable that any Min
netonka yachts will start in the regatta
of. the Inland Lakes Yachting association,
which opens Aug. 25 at Lake Pewaukee,
Wis. According to the classification Of
the INLAND Lakes association. generally
speaking, first class sloops Of the Mime
tonka club would be eligible to Glass A,
and second-class sloops to Glass B. The
specials, Hoodlum, Circe and Wizard, are
too large to be eligible to amy class.
Of the t1rst-class sloops which have
sailed this season, neither Fremad, Haz-
ard or Kossack would be likely to stand
any chance at Pewaukee, while it is
doubtful if Breeze would be eligible on
account Of her size. All of these are
comparatively old boats, and the newer
models which will be seen on Lake Pc
waukee would undoubtedly be faster, so
that none of the yacht owners Of Mime
tonka feel like undergoing the expense
and trouble incident to thetrip.
Of the second class Minnetonka sloops,
Water Witch and Nightingale are admit
ted to be the swiftest. Nightingale has
started in but one race this season, and
Mr. Fayram, owner of Water Witch, feels
that he has not the time to make the trip
Water Witch, MIR. Fayram says, was built
four years ago, and he does not feel that
her chances of winning over the newer
boats from Wisconsin, and the other
states represented in the Inland Lakes
association, are good enough to make the
journey to Pewaukee worth while.
It Is possible that later in the season
match between the White Bear and
Minnetonka clubs may be arranged. The
| White Bear yachtsmen are understood to
be extremely desirous of arranging a Sc
| ries of races between their own craft and
the Minnetonka boats, and the Minneton-
ka men are for the most part favorable.
| While probably Crusader, the crack White
Bear Glass A sloop, would beat the Min
netonka frst-class boats, the Minneton-
| ka 'second-class sloops would stand good
chance with the Glass B White Bear
craft:
