BRITT AND NELSON
MAY CONFER TODAY.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


PITTSBURG, Pa. November 27.-The
chatter between Jimmy Britt and Battling
Nelson. which at first extended over 5000
miles Of wire, will have narrowed down 20
a heart-to-heart conference. The two little
fighters have been gradually drawing to a
meeting point for over month, and by a
conflict of dates they will be with rival
shows in Cleveland this week.
Billy Nolan, Nelson's manager left town
today for Cincinnati, where the Britt ag-
gregation now Is. He intimated he was
going to confer concerning the financial
trouble which grew out of the last fight
between Britt and Nelson. The announce
ment that Nolan had agreed to all terms
offered by Bob Deadly for a match between
McGovern and Nelson, to take place in
Philadelphia, has brought BIRTHS hackers
TO realize that their little fighter will not
have another chance until the dispute in
question is fixed up satisfactorily to the
Britt's hackers in Philadelphia, the two
principals will get together in Cleveland.
Nelson smiled last night in anticipate of
the meeting.
Britt has said some pretty hard things
about me during the past month";" said he,
but L believe all his talk was for adver-
Using. / don't expect any trouble with him
at Cleveland. nor do 1 believe he is hunt
Ing any. l expect We will have a better
understanding after a straight talk. Even
though Britt does talk fight, 1 shall posi-
lively refuse to pay any attention to 1t
until he comes up

BUNT HITS WERE
TOO FAST FOR PATSY

Patsy Flaherty, the well-known ST. Louis
ball player, who broke into major league
company with the Louisville club several
years ago, met Umpire Tim Hurst on his
first eastern trip.
Fiaherty was playing third base for
Louisville. and Hurst took him to one side
and said
Young man, you play too deep third
Get up closer to the batsman, especially
when you think he Is preparing to bunt.
you'll never get any of those short rollers
away back where you play"
Flaherty's team played in Philadelph "a
the next day. Lajoie, Delehanty, Flick,
Sam Thompson. Clements and several other
sluggers were with the Phillies at the time.
Three days later the Louisville team
marched on the field In New York for a
series with the Giants: Hurst was to UNI
pire the games. He noticed F1aherty's abb
sence from the ranks OF the Kentucky
Colonels, and inquired what had become
of the third baseman.
We left him in a Philadelphia bospftal -
said Harry Taylor, who was managing the
team at the time He thought Iaioie wa

LOCAL BASE BALL.
Joe Cassidy Not Among the Missing.

A rumor got in circulation Saturday, the
result of a dispatch from Chester. Pa,
that Shortstop Joe Cassidy of the Wash
ington club had disappeared and that his
friends were very much worried about him.
Joe has been a frequent visitor to the Ben
ming races and last Saturday was spoken
to by The Evening Star reporter. He is in
good health and remains in Washington
to take a course at one of the local bust
ness colleges.
The report printed recently to the effect
that Pitcher Jack Townsend was to figure
in a trade with a minor league club and
that the deal had been blocked on account
of other American League clubs refusing
to waive their right to the Delaware boy
is entirely erroneous. Townsend has ex-
pressed a wish to the owners of the Wash
ington club that he be traded to some other
aggregation, as he thinks he has been here
too long. To crafty Jack waivers were
asked of the American League clubs so as
to get a line on how he Stood and as a
result New York. Philadelphia and St.
Louis put in claims for his services. An
officer of the club said this morning that
he knew that Townsend Was too good q
pitcher to be let out OF the American
League and that there would probably be
a trade arranged with one of the three
clubs before the season opened
The Washington club is also dickering
for a couple Of infielders and should the
star be secured who Is now under con-
sideration, 1t would make the local fans
sit up and take notice for quite while OF
one thing the friends of the club can rest
assured. there will be no stone left I'M
possible way before the opening of next
season.

AN APPARENT ANoMOLY.
Spectators of the Horse Show Went
There in Motor Cars.

New York society fiocked to the horse
show this year, as usual, but the major
portion of those who went in vehicles went
in motor cars. Outside Madison Square
Garden there were counted one night
eighty-seven automobiles and thirty-two
horse-drawn vehicles Nearly all of the
motor cars had limousine, or closed, bodies
OF the eighty-seven cars nineteen were i'm
ported.
BY springtime the American Automobile
Association will have on tap almost every
sort of road and touring information that
can possibly be sought. Asa Goddard of
Worcester, Mass, has been made general
travelling agent for the American Automo-
bile Association in this field and will COL

ciprocal relations recently established with
the French and English touring bodies is

The use OF automobiles as means OF

summer the feasibility of such q line was
practically demonstrated at Traverse City,
Mich. the principal run being made be-
tween that place and Old Mission, a dis
lance of eighteen miles through the most
beautiful fruit section of the country. At
Springfield, Ohio a company Is winning
success and arousing the interest of neigh

of the country, the far west being even
more enterprising than the east in this re-
