IN EXCITING FINISH
WALTHOUR WON OUT
Champion One Too Many for the Fast Sprint
Man and Landed Both Heats

Probably the most exciting and in
teresting race ever seen at Princes
Coliseum was pulled off before not
more than 800 people last night, and
Prince lost more money.
Those, however who took a chance
of getting wet saw race without a
mishap, heard the First Regiment Band
play selection after selection. listened
to a genuine hard-luck, but true, story
from Prince, and shouted as Walthour
won first one heat and then the other.
The night was rather cool and there
was a strong northeaster blowing
across the track, making the time nee
essarily slow. Still the race was in
teresting, and the brave 300 that turn
ed out to watch the motors spin around
the bowl were almost wild with ex-
element. Many of them expressed the
opinion that it was the best race ever
pulled off at the Coliseum, and those
who made this assertion have Witness
ed them all.
In the first heat of five miles it was
nip and tuck until almost the finish. In
one lap Bald would let himself out
and forge to the front, gaining fifteen
or twenty yards on the champion, and
in another Bobbie would do the same
thing. Both men worked hard and did
their very best. The spectators shout
ed Justify as first one man would sprint
out and then the other would strain
every muscle to regain the lost dis
lance. Walthour got in the last squirt
and won the heat by narrow margin.

STINS0N AND WALTH0UR
TO RACE HERE

VIII Ride i'm n Three-Heat Five
Mile Race Next Week.
Will Stinson who is to ride against
Walthour Tuesday night in Atlanta in
a three heat five-mile race for a large
purse will be seen here next week in
another race of the same kind with
Walthour. 1t was arranged by Jack
Prince yesterday that another race be-
tween the two men will be put on
here Immediately after their match in
Atlanta.
stinson is one Of the crack riders of
the country. He is considered one of
the smoothest riders that ever circled
bowl, and is one of the "hig four
that is made up of Michael, Elks, Wal
thour and himself. They are used as
drawing cards on all the big tracks
of the North on holidays. Stinson's
work on the Charles, river track in
1901 was phenomenal, winning every
race ridden on the track.
Nat Butler has left Atlanta for New
York where he will spend a few days
before going to Revere Beach where
he will train for the summer season.
He is a decided favorite in the North
where he ranks high in the sprint and
pace classes. He viii not be seen here

GARDNER ON THE WAY
HERE TO MEET MILLER.
Left Philadelphia Friday and VIII
Arrive Tomorrow.

Left Philadelphia Friday and win
Arrive Tomorrow.
Among the good things to be put on
by the Savannah Athletic Club is the
Miller and Gardner bout, May Is,
which is now assured. 1t was an
nounced a few days ago that Gardner
had left Philadelphia for Savannah,
but unavoidable circumstances delay
ed his departure at that time. A tele-
gram was received yesterday by the
management of the club, announcing
that he had left Philadelphia on Fri
days ship. He will arrive in the city
Monday morning.
That is the bout which Matchmaker
Wilson has especially picked to give
the patrons of the club three times the
good work of an ordinary bout, and
more than make amends for the misfit
match which was put on two weeks
ago unintentionally. Wilson says: 'If
Herman Miller has a pleasure yacht
time in that bout 1 will declare myself
failure and go back to the green
primer" And Herman Miller says he
knows it. He is too sensible to let
grass grow under his SHOES, for he will
start in tomorrow in routine work
twice day on the road and in quar-
ters to be there with all he has on the
date of the match.

OUTSIDER WON
KENTUCKY DERBY

Louisville, May 2.-Within the shad-
ow of the wire, Judge Hines snatched
from Early the twenty-ninth Ken
lucky Derby at Churchill Downs to-
day. 1t was the confidence of the
twice-successful WINFIELD that lost to
the favor1te the blue ribbon event OF
the Blue Grass state. Bourbon, six
lengths off, was third, whale Bad
News, Woodlake and Treacy finished
in the order named.
1t was Derby run ana won, not

credit of colt and jockey, he was well
piloted, and when Judge Hines passed

be to express it mildly. Nothing could
please the management of the club
better.
Jeffords and O'Brien have met twice
before; both times within the past
seven months. In October they met in
Philadelphia in six round bout in
which no decision was given. In March
they met in Pittsburg in a ten round
bout which resulted in draw. O'Brien
has boxed in ninety-one battles since
his advent into the ring seven, years
ago. He has lost only one bout, losing
to Young Jackson at Frisco in thir-
teen rounds in February of 1900.
He can box in the middleweight
class but would weigh in the neighbor-
hood of 40 pounds in the proposed
bout. He has met Marvin Hart, Joe
Choynski, Peter Maher, Jack Bonner,
Jimmy Handler in his palmy days. and
all the good men of his class and is
practically the champion middle
weight and heavyweight of England.
He has put two good men out in the
same night on several occasions in
England.
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien's" proper
name is Joseph F.. A. Hagan of the
firm of Hagan, Abrams & Kelly, a law,
real estate and insurance firm with
headquarters in the Real Estate Trust
building in Philadelphia. McMurray
said yesterday in speaking of O'Brien:
II am the father of his ring career.
put him in the profession and handled
him during the first bouts. 1t is be-
cause of our friendly relations that he
has offered to come here and assist us
in giving Savannahians one of the top
bouts of the country. He would do any
thing in the world for me, and that is
why he proposes to make the match
here"
When the letter was shown to JEFF
fords yesterday afternoon he said he
was perfectly willing to meet O'Brien
here. He has not the power to sign
the articles, however, he having vested
that power in his manager, Mccartney
of Philadelphia, and his managers con-
sent must be secured. Jeffords left
shortly after for Philadelphia, where he
will confer with his manager who, 1t
is thought, will sign. The articles
were sent on last night to Philadelphia,
where both men will sign them in the
event that everything is satisfactory. If
Jeffords signs he will Immediately come
back to Savannah and establish his
training quarters at the Empire Park
at Thunderbolt. O'Brien may do most
of his training at home.

On top of the matches the Savannah

time to time, the prospects are that on

the next month the best light-heavy-
weight boxing match ever seen in Geor-

will be Philadelphia Jack O'BHen"

which would be bid for by any club in
