Kansas City yesterday, and a chauf-
feur started with him to make the run

Hedges Nav Quit the Browns.

st. Louis. Dec. 16.-Is Robert Lee
Hedges. president and chief officer of
the Browns, planning to get out
from under?"
Since weeks before the close of the
cham pionship baseball race there
have been persistent rumors to- the eff
feet that the boss of the Browns is
looking for a place to get off, and in
the past few weeks they have been
more numerous than ever.
Rumor mongers say it is known on
the inside that Hedges made at least
tempts to dispose of his property,
franchise, players and all, in a lump,
before the close of the playing season
last fall. He failed in this because he
could not reach an agreement as to
price with the prospective buyers or
could not organize a, company to take
it off his hands at his figure.

ODDS ARE ON BRITT.
Tom Corbett Has Been Given $12, 900
to Bet Against $4,000.

San Francisco, Dec. 16.-Betting on
the approaching Britt-Nelson fight took
on new life when $12. 900 of Britt money
was left with Tom Corbett to place
against $4,000 on Nelson. This wager
practically established the odds at to
5, with Britt favorite, and wise sport
ing men believe that this is where they
will remain.
THAT was a nice little talk you had
with Jimmy Britt said Battling
Nelson to the writer at Larkspur. I
hope he means it where he says he will
give me my fill of aggressive fighting
why shouldn't he mean it?'' 1 asked.
HE said he would hurl himself at Cans
directly the starting bell rang ana he
did it, didn't hep"
ooh, yes, but this is a different case
said the Battling One. Jim was safe
in figuring that Cans couldn't punch
very hard at the weight they fought at,
whereas he knows that I'll be as strong
as I usually am. 1t wouldn't be my
luck to have Jimmy Britt come at me
the way he went at Cans
Surprising for the sake of argument,
he did fling himself at you as he did
at Cans, what them"
well, to begin with, he'd find me
right there Yes, and I'd say there I'M

Nelson went on to say that if Britt
fought the way he promised the contest
would be of short duration.

a denial" he remarked. 81 didn't tell
anyoneT defeat Britt in twelve rounds.
I never figure that way in advance. 1
am one of the most hopeful young men
you ever saw in a ring. When my hands
are raised at the sound of the gong
am wondering whether I'll be able to
get my opponent in the first round.
When the second round begins am
still hoping and scheming. Any old
round does for me and 1 don't make a
practice of calling the round will win
in. In this case I think it will be
short fight because Britt says he will
be as willing to mix it as l am and L
am the most conceited fellow in the
world in regard to my ability to do
fast, rough work.
1t isn't every fighter who can be trust
ed to size the ring qualifications of a
opponent and himself in a
dispassionate, intelligent manner. but I
found Battling Nelson quite equal to
the occasion when asked him to do so.
