COST HORSE
!. OWNER BIG STAKE
Willie Benton Had 5000 Cinched
When Accident Overlook
&. ~. Him. .

Leading the field by a length and apparently
sure winner of first money. in the big $4,000
pacing race at the state fair yesterday, Willie
Benton, beautiful bay, owned in Kaukauna,
Wis, tripped in his hobbies at the eighth
pole in the third heat, precipita ting sulky
clash in which two drivers narrowly escaped
death. George Spencer. driver of Willie Ben
ton. and G. H. Chambers driver of Village
Boy, were hurled to the ground, but, altho the
horses were going at 2:1O clip when the acci-
dent occurred, both men escaped serious injury
and Spencer, pulling Willie Benton to his feet,
mounted his sulky and finished the race amid
| the cheers Of the spectators Village Boy with.
out driver, completed the circle of the track
on the run and passed under the wire length
ahead OF The Donna, the winner Of the heat.
Willie Benton looked q sure winner of the big
purse after the first two heats. He took first
place easily in both, while The Donna, the dun
colored mare picked for a winner by the wise
ones, was only able to take sixth place In the
first heat and second in the second heat.
The accident in the third heat resulting in
the distaneng of Willie Benton, changed the
entire complexion Of the race, and the last
two heats were bitterly fought by The Donna
Spill, Bystander and Fred Miller. Spill, owned
by W. A. Clark. Jr., of Montana, upset calcula-
With the withdrawal of The Donna and Village
Boy, however, the time made in the last two
heats was comparatively slow.
The 2:19 trot started with eight entries, with
Grace Cameron and Riddle favorltes. Grace Cam
| eron took the lead at the start of the first heat
and held it turnout the race, winning in straight
heats. The fastest time was 2:14A, made in
the fourth heat, when Prince Kelley in Won
derfm burst OF speed finished neck and neck
with Grace Cameron.
The three-minute trot with six 3-year-old en-
tries proved decidedly interesting feature of
the matinee In the first heat Red Cross easily
held the lead and finished first, with Mabel B.
second. Mabel B. showed better form in the
last two heats and landed two firsts, winning
first money. The time of Red Cross in the first
heat, 2:28A, unusually good.
The running races on the half mile track were
won by Yersifer and Port Jarvis. There were
no exciting finishes and the crowd showed less
interest in this feature Of the program than in
the races the mile track.
1t has not yet been decided whether Dan
Patch will go again in an attempt to lower his
world record Saturday afternoon, but it is
probable that the PAGER king will 60 against

This was Joe Cans reply today when a cor
respondent told him that Billy Nolan was clam
oring for another chance for the Dane.
Cans very earnest. He laughed scorn-
fully when he was Informed that Nolan had
insisted that Nelson did not foul Cans and that
a deal was framed up by California sports to
do Nelson out of the title.
''Who will believe that?' said Cans.
eff you lind man In that crowd who
saw us fight, who will honestly say that Mel
son had the edge on me and that he did not
foul me, not once but dozen times I'll give
him $500 cash That goes to the limit Now,
here is what 1 will do I'll fight Nelson again
next week if he wants to-the sooner the better
"fll give him all he asked Of me, so far
as the actual fighting conditions are concerned
I'll agree to weigh in at 1873 pounds I'll weigh
In dozen times on the day of the fight If
Nolan wants it. I'll fight to finish. I'll
fight here or anywhere on top Of the earth.
But here is where Nelson and Nolan will
have to come to me. They hogged the big end
Of the purse by refusing to make the match
unless I fought for the losers end, no matter
and so go only $4,000 of the 100000 hung up
by the club, instead Of $4,000. - ~
"The winner in the next fight must take all
and Nelson must make a side bet Of $4,000
with me. That will make probably $4,000 to
the winner as I guess there will be no trouble
and so got only $4,000 of the 900 hung up
another purse of 600 or maybe more. .,
CHOW. I'll leave it to the sporting world.
the sporting editors, or any one with drop Of
sporting blood. If these terms are not fair
Nelson can afford to 60 in On this basis. He's
got $4,000 for what he did Monday. That will
give him change enough to pay his expenses.
Tell Nolan what I say and see If he'll be SO
anxious then to put Nelson against me again."
The negro is popular in this country just
now. Scores Of men who had bet on Nelson
are journeying to the Baltimorean's hotel to
congra tulate him on his victory. He will 20

Manager Of Battling Nelson, Who Has
Kicked, Himself into UnpopuIarlty.

journal Special Service. &s sc.:: Z. e. II
New, York, Sept. 5.--The result Of the now
famous Gaps-Nelson fight was the chief topic of
discussion In all Of the cafe and hotel corridors
along upper Broadway last night The con
census of opinion is that Nelson for the first
knockout route; that he, his manager and his
seconds realized this and that the foul was
deliberately perpetrated to save Nelson from be-
ing knocked out Several men prominent in
sports in this city ventIlred the opinion
that Nelson, knowing that he had no chance
to- win, was tndeavoring all along to land a
foul and that only Cans wonderful cleverness
severely injured earlier in the fight Ha
= Mike Newman, member of the Longacre
Athletic. the man who is doing his best to
rehabflttate the boxing game in New York, said
tonight: ,h - tE.s 50 : ~
81 Think what credit it would have been
to Nolan If, instead Of making his childish
squeals against everything in general he had
come out like man and acknowledged that his
lighter had received a beating and given Cans
credit Tor having fought a great fight. Such
Isportsmanlike action would have gained popr-
Elar1ty for himself and lis charge. 1t would also
Ishave tended to save Nelson's prestige as d
taghter and would have gone a long way toward
employed by the Rattler But from his actions
fprevious to the fight Nolan is acting just ex-
actly as it should be expected that he would
act m. s5 B 81. g
E.. Ae report from Butte Mont, says that Mike
(Twfn) Sullivan, whom Cans knocked out twice,
has posted $1,000 for another fight with the
champion. The Butte Athletic club has wired
Cans an offer of $4,000 for the fight. Cans,
who is being besieged with offers, has not yet
found time to accept any of them. 1t is likely
that he will, soon fight Jimmy Britt who is
also clanortng for match.

require the men to post forfeit of $4,000
each as guarantee Of good faith not only in
living up to the articles of agreement but also
that they shall fight square and give the pub

lightweight, and now. that Mr.. Richard has

English Not So Cocksure of Winning
- : the Boatrace.

Putney., England. Sept. 5.-Paced by two
scratch s''eights' Cambridge did a trial from
Putney to Hammersmith yesterday afternoon in
minutes seconds. Harvard, in the notable
trial OF Sept 1. covered the same conrse in 4
minutes 80 seconds. The conditions yesterday
were not SO favorable. the Cambridge crew en-
countering head wind all the way. But
against this must be set the fact that Cam
bridge had the advantage of being paced by
strong crews.
The time of Cambridge, at the mile post was
minutes 81 seconds, compared with Harvard
minutes 13 seconds. d. Cambridge rowed 3S for
the first minute and subsequently dropped to 80.
The Tribune this morning summed up as follows
the general opinion regarding the approaching
boat: race between the Cambridge and Harvard
university crews: g = z

to have a very hard race. Tactics may play
a big part in the triumph Cambridge possesses
