FIGHT.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 13.-Terry Nc
Govern at one time feather-weight cham
Mon of the world, has issued challenge to
Battling Nelson. Through his manager
the Brooklyn pugilist has offered to meet
the conquer of Britt on any reasonable
terms dictated by the Dane. He has offered
TO post forfeit of 81 COO to bind the fight,
and 1t is up to Nelson to name the weight
and other conditions in case he desires TO
meet McGovern.
His manager says in his challenge Terri
BILE Terry believes that heis the Tory to
Nelson, and who has good chance of de-
feating the fighting Dane. McGovern is in
condition. having fully recovered from his
recent attack of nervousness.
He says his record warrants his meeting
with Nelson, having defeated the best
feather-w weights and light-weights in the
country; and only met defeat at the hands
of Young Corbett. took Nelson twenty
rounds to get a decision over Herara on
two occasions; 1t also took his nineteen
rounds to beat Hanlin, while McGovern
knocked out Herrera in four rounds and
Hanlin also in four. I'VE will allow Nelson
his own time in which to reply to this chal-
lenge." said Terry yesterday, land Will
also allow him to dictate the weights, and

make match with me-"

all bets off.
Graney figures he lost $1,000 by entering
the ring to determine the merits of the two
great lighters. No one doubts GraneyS
honesty of purpose. and all admit he ref
creed the contest impartally, but when
thousands of men throughout the country
who bet on Nelson read that one of his rea-
sons for declaring the bets Off was because
he had a bet himself they will say a few
things.
Billy Nolan, Battling Nelson's manager
has made public why he refused to accept
JeffrieS referee.
Il have the utmost confidence in Jeffries
honesty, said Nolan, but given to
understand that the Britts had an agree
ment with him to give the fight to the man
having the better of 1t should 1t be stopped
by the sheriff BrittS friends before the
actual winner had been decided. The Britts
had planned to have the sheriff Of San Ma
tea county and their staunch friends 10 In
terfere Nelson gained the upper
hand. They figured Jimmy by his clever
ness would have a shade in the early part
of the contest, and that Nelson by his
rough, steady style of fighting would take
the lead about the tenth round. The scheme
was to stop the fight before. Battling Mel
son could get in his good work and give
the fight to Britt on the work done in the
early rounds With this understanding the
Britts and the sure-thing men bet heavily.
as they practically had the ace in its hole.
Therefore l would not stand for Jeffries,
even after my friends made the sheriff keep
his hands off
"Graney told me he would declare the
contest draw should there be interfer-
ence; the Britts. satisfied they had
lard man to beat. would not take the
chance and asked Graney to declare bets
off
at was thought that any time Britt lost
a battle the CalifornianS would lose thou
sands of dollars, but Jimmy lost and Gra-
ney's declaration as to the bets saved their
money!

Wars misplays were responsible for their
defeat by the Commerce and Labor team
on the west diamond In an eight-inning con-
test yesterday afternoon. Score Commerce
and Labor. 6: War, =.
War started well, the first four men up
in the initial inning clouting the ball In
succession for alternate singles and doubles.
Out of these four hits. totaling six bases,
war could only manage to score one run,
their poor work on the bases being in lhrge

BOSTON, Mass September 13.-The Ma
tionals will have to play six games in three
days with the BostonS after all. Showers
put a damper on the sport yesterday after
noon and with fair weather there would
doubtless have been an excellent turn out,
especially as 1t was the last day Of the
stay at home of the locals until the COM
ing of the westerners for their last eastern
visit of the season next week.
Boston started for Philadelphia last night
and will have hard trip with the leaders,
playing four games there Owner Taylor
Will accompany his men. He is extremely
anxious for his men to land in the second
position. and will leave no stone unturned
to put them there. One of the habitues of
the game said this afternoon that outside
of the pitchers he would prefer the Wash
ingtons to the Bostons.
The champions have been going back
ward fast" he said. "they lack youth and
enthusiasm. 1t is all right to have good
players. but they have got to have some
dash and go. Collins has become heavy
and so has Stahl. and Selbach and Burkett

ers. The team will be still slower next
season than 1t was this. Washington Is
TO my mind he can play all around Parent.
Hickman can out-hit Ferris a mile and on
first there Is no comparison al all. So,
take the infeIds together. Washington has
no reason to blush for its showing. Tame
hill has done grand work for the locals this
season. Dineen has become an in-and-outer,
while Young is still good, but no longer
young. In another season Washington will
be pretty nearly on even terms with Col
Inns team. depend on 1t
The two Boston teams will undoubtedly
meet in October. President Soden of the
Nationals said he had d verbal understands
ing with John l. Taylor TO that effect. 1t
Is said the American League players are
not at all anxious to meet the Nationa, g.
while Tenney's band are just ambitious to
get at the Americans, for they feel conf
dent that Young and Willis could do the
trick TO the other chaps. Doubtless Young
VINO mas great endurance, would pitch
every other day. If the teams meet it will
be the first time that two rival ma jor
league teams ever met in this city and it is
thought that the turnout would be very
large The Boston Americans close the
season at home with Griffith's team on the
Ith of October and the Nationals close in
brooklyn on that day, so both teams could
begin on the 9Th If necessary.
The Washington team left for New York
last night. every man being confident of at
least breaking even with the Yankees on
the series j. c. NJ.

1t has leaked out that the principal reason
