NELSON DENIES STORY.
Never Begged Richard for Another
Chance Mt Cans.

Boston, Dec. Battling Nelson is
somewhat disturbed over the statement
that he was anxious to have Tex Richard
hang up another $4,000 for bout with
Cans. and this afternoon declared that
nothing short of a $4,000 purse from
Richard would coax him to fight in Gold
field

He cant come back with any smaller

thing else.
This Richard is a fOur-lusher if il is
true that he said that I was chasing
him for another match in Goldheld. He
doesn't own the State of Nevada. and
there is plenty Of money in other places.
There's Johnny Nolan in Reno, who has
more money than Richard, VINO is ready

General Nuisance" on Board.

Chicago. Dec. Z2-The undergraduates
in the University of Chicago have been
ousted from the athletic board BY the
faculty. and alumni representatives added
to the council in their places This de
prives the student body from any power
pertaining to their own athletics.
The reasons given by Acting President
H. P. Judson are that the student mem
bers were general nUisancesr and in The
way at meetings. and that they were too
changeable 20 permit of effective work
No notice was given the students Of the
action of the faculty. The announcement
CO used universal surprise. and before the
week is over the undergraduates VIII be
on tie warpath for The professors they
say They believe they should have
representation in the body and are as
sailing the university's 0ftspoken stand
for democracy in affairs in which the
students are interested
Many Of the undergraduates feel this
action on the part OF the faculty means
an uufavorable attitude toward the re-
cent recommendations Of the conference
representative, and believe q game with
Michigan and Wisconsin is out Of the
question.

CANS STRONG FAvORITE.
Adn,ircr Bets $1,000 TO $4,000 on
Negroes Chances.

Tonopah. New, Dec 22.-Tonopah fight
promoters are much disguised with the
treatment they have received from some
of their members.
What irated the fight magnate is JEFF
fries failure even to notice the offers
from the Casino Club. He might at least
have had the courtesy to answer my mes
sages, said Matchmaker Riley. The Her
man men would have preferred Siler to
Welch. but made no strong objection to
the latter's selection. Welch has been
acting as referee in the West for several
years. and bears an excellent reputation
for ability and fairness.
Though the odds are in Cans favor,
there is plenty of money in circulation.
and many big wagers We're made to-day.
Adolph Marks, a prominent Chicago law
yer, and lifelong friend of the Kid,
placed 5000 against 5000 on the latter,
the Cans hacker being James Gary. a
Wall street broker, who has seen the
negro fight several times, and thinks he
has no equal in his class.
At least $4,000 more in Herman money
will arrive from Chicago next week IN
the hands Of Sam Rothschild.

The popular family pastime Of roller
skating was restored to the local
public by the reopening OF thu rink at
Convention Hall last Thursday night.
The rink is now open for the season and
among the added attractions for the
benefit Of the general public is the
weekly game of polo. A game of polo
on roller skates IS very interesting and
exciting, both for the spectators and the
players. The floor has undergone q gen
eral overhauling and at present is in
excellent condition. The rink is not only
a resort for the children, but pastime
enjoyed by the grown folks as well.
