STAKE HORSE VEDAS

LONDON, March ga telegram re-

Vidas pulled up lame after a gallop re-
Gently and is reported to have sprung a
curb.
The winner O. the Two Thousand
Guineas has not been by any means
lucky horse. Last spring he made no
sort of a show in the lincolnshire Han
dicap. although he had only 6 stone 3
pounds in the saddle, and started ar
equal favorite with Cattly Crag- Then
came victory at Liverpool. in which
he finished several lengths in front of
Thrush at even weights, while there
was no doubt he was a really good horse
on the afternoon that he secured the
Two Thousand Guineas in such easy
fashion.
Great hopes were entertained in the
Derby, but ne unfortunately gave way
in the preparation. and. although he ran
twice in tie autumn. 1t is probable that
he was not nearly fit. and he made nc
showing in either race. Still. when Rob-
inson had to give up charge of him he
believed that he had got him thoroughly
sound again. but, as so often happens,
he has failed to stand some streng work
and it is to be feared that Els active
career is over.

Nelson Must Meet Cans
Or Lose His Standing
Frisco Fight Fans Won't Accept His Excuses.
Los Angeles Has Good Matches-Trust
Wranglng Too Much.
By W.. W. NAUGHToN.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 31.-Los
Angeles is surely the storm center of
pugilism just at present. The deadlock
in the San Francisco fight trust is
water on the wheel of Promoter Nc
Carey, of the Southland, and like a
wise fellow he is making the most of
his opportunity.
With Jimmy Britt booked for one
match and Battling Nelson for another.
and with Abe Attell and frankie Neil
signed up for third attraction, it
seems as though the Queensberry tree
has been rifled of its most tempting
piums.
OF course there is better card in
sight than any of these, but from pres
ent indications the chances are about
one in a thousand Of it's ever being ar
ranged. L mean Battling Nelson and
Joe Cans
Give Him a Chance.
If one views the situation from the
highly moral standpoint, Cans has not
a vestige OF right to consideration.
When it suited his purpose he made
no bones of admitting that he had fig
ured in several queer fights and a man
who owns UP to work of that kind
should not complain If he is forced
to stand in the background and watch
his chickens coming home to roost.
A part of Cans defense is that
lapses of the kind he confessed to have
been condoned in others, and he is
right For this reason alone there
are any number OF sporting men who
think that the colored fighter should
be given a chance to redeem himself.
Must Fight Cans.
In the contests he has had, since he
came West with the ostensible pur-
pose of beginning all over again with
a clean slate, he has fought like a Tro-
Jan and his splendid workmanship has
compelled admiration from many who
are rf,ejudiced against him on account
of his past record
In nv daily walks I meet suff1-
cheney Of fight patrons to be able to
form opinions as to what ideas are
popular among sports Of that class. and
1 have no hesitation in saying that
Gans-Nelson match would prove
bigger attraction than any other pugil-
istic event at present IN sight The
majority of San Franciscans appear to
think that Cans is sincere in his pro-
testations, and that his desire to fight
the Dane is born of ambition to prove
that he is a real champion of his class
and not OF a wish to make killing
by devious methods.
Excuses Not Accepted.
1t is equally certain that Nelson's
claim that it is the odorous reputation
borne by Cans that stands in the way
OF a contest is not accepted as bona
fide. The plain truth OF the matter is
that Nelson's attitude toward Cans has
caused the durable Dane to appear a
good deal less of hero in the eyes
OF numbers of lovers of ring pastimes.
When the Battler was fighting his
way to the front he was viewed as
fellow who asked no quarter and gave
none-a human fighting machine who.
when in action. never asked the time
of day or the distance travelled When
he crowned & splendid record by ham,
me-.ng Jimmy Britt to defeat at Col
M. he was regarded as the fighter Of
The Washington times., 1906-04-01

the century at his weight, and il was
believed that he would never back wa
ter or split hairs when required to meet
any pugilist on a pound for pound
basis.
Well, you can bring horse to the
pond, but you cannot make hir-1 drink.
The only thing is that as long as the
shadow of Cans falls athwart the light
weight scene Nelson and the other men
in the class should be frank enough to
admit that they are only boxing for the
vice championship"
Trust Killing the Game.
At the present writing II is doubtful
If San Francisco will have any boxing
contest for a couple of months. The
fault is with the trust. Internecine strife
brought about condition of affairs
where the trust members meet. have the
minutes of the previous meeting read,
and then adjourn
The trouble. it is understood. is over
the appointment of matchmaker. Cof-
froth wants the Job. and so does Morris
Levy. Whenever the question is intro
duced Coffroth and Britt vote one way
while Graney and Levy take the other
end of ii. The individual members OF
the trust discuss matches out on the
street. but never in meeting, and unless
some one to arbitrate their differences
the tie-up is liable TO last the whole
year.
O'Brien and Berger.
Unofficiaily. the trust has been talk
ing of matching Jack O'Brien and Sam
Berger. The later blows hot and coi,,
alternately in regard to turning profess
soinal. but the latest is that he will
agree to fight O'Brien in May IL the
proper inducements" are offered. He
pleads that he is as fat as a whale. and
that he could not get ready to enter
the ring before May. The general opinion
Is that If the trust would settle its diff
ferences and get down to a working
basis there would be little difficulty in
bringing O'Brien and Berger together
A Sacramento matchmaker is working
I'D a go between Joe Cans and Rufe
Turner, and matters have progressed
to stage where it is regarded as certain
that the two colored lightweights will
box in the city named next month.

AUTO TOURING IS
REPLACING RACES
Inclination of American Enthusiasts
Leans That Way-Good
Roads a Certainty.

II is conserystiveIy estimated that
there will be az least twice as much
automobile touring the coming season
a compared with 1905.
Not only IS the contemporary produc-
ton of touring cars larger than ever
before, but the touring inclination is
constantly on the increase among the
majority OF American automobilists-
Machines Are Reliable.
Together with the increased reliability
of automobiles for this sort OF service,
there has been a steady growth in tour
ing inclination of the accurate sort, so
that should the occasion arise, motor
touring schedules may row be arranged
ard carried through with a precision
approximating that of the older meth
DDS of transportation
This fact has been the means of en-
couraging men of large interests 70
make trips away from their business
headquarters that would have been i'm
possible only few years ago. Road
travel brings one nearer the people and
gives the traveller a better practical
knowledge Of the country than any
other means could possibly do.
Wonderful Road Improvement.
Road Improvement in America. while
it has not satisfied all expectations. is
still going forward in no uncertain way
in number Of progressive Common
wealtns, with the result that the area
of automobile touring is extending rap
idly in almost every direction
OF course there Will be the usual
amount of interest manifested in the
racing meets, but on the whole autoistS
will paw more attention to the touring
competitions Than to the speed events.

By Dr.. WILLIAM GRANT.

As the season for baseball draws
near. the writer has received quite d
number Of letters from registered ANA
teur athletes asking all kinds of ques-
lions about what acts would injure
their amateur standing
I have, therefore, thought IL best
through the columns Of The Times to
explain as well as I possibly can just
when a man may make himself in
eligible under the rules of the Amateur
Athletic Union Everyone interested
will see and read the explanation so
that there may be no excuse OF ignor-
ance presented II charges are made
against one who has broken the rules.
Rules Are Explicit.
On page 135 OF the official handbook
OF the Amateur Athletic Union you will
find the various tests which have been
applied TO determine amateur standing
An athlete becomes a professional il
he enters competition for money or
for prizes Of more than 50 in value; sells
or pawns his prizes; accepts a purse OF
money; enters a competition open TO
professional. or knowingly completes
with a professional: issues a challenge
to compete for money or its equivalent;
receives reward for becoming or con-
tinuing a member Of an athletic organ
ization: teaches. trains OF coaches in an
athletic sport for money or any valu-
able consideration"
Playing With Pros.
These rules cover both baseball and
the basketball players. We viii assume
that the athlete is only in danger of
competing with or against a profess
sionai. or accepts remuneration for play
ing either game. In that case he viii

almost half. He Is a master Of defen-
siye tactics. and as the match means
much 10 him in his new capacity Of in
structor OF wrestling at an orFaEized
club he has promised to make the go a
hummer by trying to keep behind his
heavier antagonist as much as p2s

May Train With Olsen
Mackey is not only training his pro-
teges. but has taken on everybody else
who came along. He got in some rood
ticks last week by wrestling daily with
Max Mueller when the German was
here preparing for the match in which
he was thrown twice by Grant on
Wednesday night The stunts with
larger man who knew the game well
were what he needed, and he is hoping
that another stranger Of weight viii
happen into town.
This hope is likely % be realized, as
there is a proposition on foot to bring
to Washington Charley Olsen. the
wrestler who has been cleaning I'D all
Corners in the South. and did not meet
defeat until he went against Frank
Gotch at AsheviIle. n. c. Olsen stood
Gotch of until the eX-champion con-
nected with a toe lock which compelled
him to surrender or have his leg broken
off short, and Olsen then yielded Olsen
would be a valuable man for either
Grant or Mackey TO train with. and his
services will be in demand if he reaches
Washington in time.
