Polo Contests.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
st. Louis, Mo-, Sept 13.-The ma
tional senior outdoor swimming cham
pionships of the Amateur Athletic
Union take place during the three days
beginning today at Laughlin's lake,
under the auspices of the Missouri
Athletic club. Never before in the
history of the sport have the cham
pionships excited SO much interest as
this year. This is due chiefly to the
large number and prominence OF the
contestants. The entries come from
New York. Chicago. Denver and other
points. The feature of the meet will
be the strenuous competition between
Daniels of New York, Handy of Chi
cage and Mark Schwartz of St. Louis.
Today's programme included the
following events: 440-yard champion
ship. 20O-yar,l championship breast
stroke; plunge for distance champion
ship. 5O-yard Junior, 2O0-yard inter-
mediate. water polo.
The contest for the water polo
championship is attracting much at
tention. There are five teams entered,
two from the Chicago A. A., one from
the New York A. C.. and one each from
the Missouri A. c.. and st. Louis Gen.

CANS LICK ANY FIGHTER
NO. MATTER now HEAVY

grand little ring warrior as Nelson has
shown himself to be in all his battles
should be put in such predicament
as he now finds himself in by stub
born, pig-headed manager who tried
TO do something smart and got caught
with the goods. How Nolan expects
to square himself with Nelson and with
the public for his pusillanimous con-
duct toward the black man in this
match is hard to see. The whole thing
will probably end in Nelson finding
another manager. Battling Nelson is
not a coward. as has been charged by
some of the sporting writer's who wit
messed the battle. His rough way of
milling may have led them to believe
he possesses streak of yellow and
in ninety-nine cases in hundred
when a fighter strikes deliberate
foul blow he does it so as to be dis
qualified. preferring to lose the battle
in that manner than to go down in
honorable defeat. but that is not the
case with Nelson. He would stand up
and take his medicine as we'll as any
man that ever entered a prize ring for
the purpose of doing battle.
There is not the least doubt that
he committed a deliberate foul when
he was disqualified. but stop just
moment and consider what must have
been the condition of his brain at the
time and then add to that the probable
ity that he had been told to do that
very thing when he left his corner-as
Cans himself said-in delirious con-
dition.
Nelson received an unmerciful beat
ing from the very commencement of
the battle until the end came in the
forty-second round. No man ever went
into prize ring and received a great
err amount of punishment than did this
boy Nelson, and there is probably no
fighter living that would have stood
up under one-half the punishment he
took from Cans.
Battling Nelson is courageous.
clean minded, honorable man, and
should not be dumped into the discard
just because he delivered one foul
blow in fight at time when he per-
haps did not know whether he was in
Denmark or Goldfield on account of
the battered condition of his head.
Nelson does not really butt an oppon-
ent. as he has been charged with doing
The manner in which he uses his
head when fighting in close quarters
gives the impression that he is en-
deavoring to butt his opponent but
such is not the case. 1t is his style of
fighting and now that the fight is over
and every one connected with it has
had chance to view it in retrospect
it is almost certain that both Cans and
Siler will admit that Nelson did no
harm with his head. The "Battler''
may be able to still draw big houses
| in the show business, but it is extreme
! ly doubtful if he ever again figures in
the prize ring.
He has had his. He got it at Gold
field on Labor Day from Joe Cans.

CHICAGO NAY PLAY At MINNEAPOLIS
Chicago Likely to Go to Minneapolis

Chicago. Sept l3-Chicago will

Now that the Gans-Nelson battle is
a part of prize ring history and the
coon" has conclusively proven that
he can make 1873 pounds and feel
strong, who is there in the game that
the negro can't lick? That seems the
question.
OF course Cans fooled everybody but
himself on the question of weight. as
subsequent events show he knew that
he could consent to Nolan's demands
without doing himself any great harm.
He at least felt that he could make
the weight required of him and beat
Nelson, and that was more than many
of his strongest supporters considered
him capable OF doing. Those who know
Cans had no doubt of his ability to
beat Nelson under reasonably fair con-
ditions but 10 bring him down to some
think like 1870 pounds and expect him
to whip as game a fighter as Nelson
was quite another matter. There has
never been any great doubt in the
minds Of those who know the quality
of this negro at 49, pounds that he can
beat any fighter before the public to-
day At this weight he would be fit
to fight the battle of his life. He can
weigh 1873 pounds in any part of a
climate at 5 o'clock in the afternoon
and at 9 O'Clock that evening be able
to step into the ring in the neighbour
hood of 49, pounds and thrash the
daylights out of the biggest and best
pugilists alive. barring jim ,Jeffries.
Cans is in very much the same pre-
dicament at the present time that
.Ieffries was in when he retired from
the ring. Who is it that will fight
him now: Certainly no lightweight
that is out for anything better than a
given under such conditions are not
growing on bushes.
The welterweisht division contains a
few dubs that would lie down to Cans
if the battle was to occur in Goldfielj,
where it would have to go to finish.
1t is extremely doubtful if Jack
O'Brien could be induced to fight
Cans to a finish. no matter how large
purse was offered for the battle. 1t
would not necessarily be out and out
fear of the negro that would cause
him TO decline the issue. but he would
know that he would be taking very
great chance in going against the
darby and the disgrace of being
whipped by lightweight would per-
haps be Jacks reason for doing a
sidestep.
Nolan must now realize what a big
mistake he made in sending Battling
Nelson up against Cans He must
know now that he not only got his
charge fairly slaughtered but discredi-
ted as we'll. 1t was to be expected that
Nelson would be beaten in a battle
with such past master in pugilism
as Cans. but it was not thought pos
sible that the "Battler" would emerge
from the conflict thoroughly dis
credited man-even to the extent OF
having his courage questioned.
Hard Job for Nolan.

two seconds slower Bingen came out

in it. Custer took Cochato by the
throat from the word go and carried
him to the three-quarters at better
than 2:lO clip, where he went on
and Won off by himself, pulled to a

same masterful way in 2:14%.
The friends of Cochato predicted
that the race would do him lot of
good. and that he would be much bet
ter and faster at Hartford. Evidently
he was the reverse. He broke in the
first heat and lost in 2:17A, and while
he won the next two in 2:14% and
2:1GG they had very cheap look, as
Gay Bingen broke down and was dis

a whole was almost farcical, consid-
ering the amount OF money at stake.

Custer always held the other safe, and
he should do so again.

Mention of the Milwaukee races
brings to mind the fact that this de-
partment of the Wisconsin state fair
is very queerly managed. The public

SO much as publish the daily order in
which the races will be decided. And
the fair begins tomorrow!

Chicago. Sept. 13.-If disaster had
befallen you, or If you had lost your
fortune and with 1t your social posi-
ton. or If. perchance, you were a
crimina! and wished to lose yourself
in Chicago, where would you go? In
what section of this city OF 1900, 900
would you feel most isolated farthest
removed from people Of your kind and
least likely to be recognized?
You have read in stories of English
authorship of the man or woman who,
after sudden financial failure or crush

night and steals away to the jungles

as if a frontier wilderness had swal-
lowed him.

from familiar but unwelcome faces
or from the clutch of the law?
1t has been said by an eastern critic
that in Chicago the prairie seems al
ways to be lust around the corner"
There is some truth in this, apparent
evea to the native Chicagoan, who ma
turally is less captious in his critic
ism. Vast spaces unoccupied, ragged
and incomplete thoroughfares, the
weed-covered block unimproved save
by shack or two. toy-like wooden
suburbs, all bespeak the prairie and
its proximity Even In it's oldest dis
tricts, where much of squalor abounds.
there is little of the mold and mystery
of time
Still. on the vast West Side are dis
tricts where the density OF population
runs from 200 to 400 persons to the
acre-unparalleled even in the fastnes-
ses of Toxic or Calcutta. Surely no
one man or woman can be of cOnse-
quence in all that congestion of hum

Two of the great annual Futurity
events for 3-year-old trotters have
been decided in the past three weeks.
Their results have gone far toward
giving Il line on the supremacy for the
season among the youngsters of that
age. but the final verdict will not be
rendered until the Horse Review and
Kentucky Futurities are decided at
Cincinnati and Lexington. the last
week OF this month and the first of
next.
Meanwhile | cannot get away from
the notion that the Wisconsin colt.
Ed. Custer, IS the S-year-old of the
year. He certainly is to date. and
there is strong chance that he will
remain so to the end of the chapter
1t is pity that he was not eligible
to the Hartford Futurity last week. 1t
was shocking bad race for such
splendid purse-sl3.5O0. OF which any
starter winning three successive heats
would have won $1O,5OO Only four
started. The crippled Gay Zingen won
the first heat in2:l71s. In the next
he broke down and was distanced,
and Cochato took il and the third in
.2:14a.. 2:16&.
These two colts and Ed Custer met
TWO weeks before in the Home Breeder
Futurity at Readville and after Co.
chato had beaten Gay Bingen the first
heat in 2:11h Custer lust tramped
on EN-" in 2:13G and 2:14A. While
the track at Readville is faster than
that at Hartford. the summary from
the latter place says very plainly that
the Baronmore colt would have won
easier there than he did at Readville.
The first notable meeting of the g.
year-olds this season was at Cleve-
land. Gay Bingen won impressively,
trotting in 2:121a with a lot left.
Custer Won second money. At Buffalo
the pair met again. Again the Bingen
colt won, but this time, while the clip
was slower, Custer had him "all out
and running over" the last end of it.
Gay Bingen was prepared in the south
and many who saw him at Cleveland
thought that he was then probably as
fit as he ever would be during the
season. Custer, on the contrary, had
not been hurried. The eyes of his
owner. D. c. Palmeter, and his train
er, F. B. Chandler, were on the Futur-
tiles to come and they had refrained
from screwing the big chestnut colt
up for the smaller preliminary events.
Some thoughtful people knew this,
and when they saw what an effort on
Gay Bingen's part was necessary to
win at Buffalo they said that he would
not beat the Wisconsin colt the mex,
time they met.
Cochato Joined in at Readville. He
has been one of the most extensively
touted colts Of recent years. At least
l cannot recall another that has hat
so much newspaper notoriety on pure
ly private form. He was tried the
week before he started at Readville
and his trial convinced his partisans
that it was all over but the shouting

defeating either of them, that idea wa.
secuted.
Cochato and Bingen raced hammer
