the lack of a breeze has served to stir up more
interest than usual in the Fourth of July race

stretch their sails.
The Minnetonka and the Delta had scrub
race once around the big course of ten miles
and a fraction. The Minnetonka won by about
two minutes. This does not show, however.
that the Minnetonka is necessarily the fastest
of the two boats.
The wind was somewhat fukey and the Min

not reach the Delta, and vice versa, altho the

Los Angeles, July 3.-The most important
boxing contest ever decided before the Pacific

featherweight title and the gold belt emblematic
of the championship, presented by the club. 1t
whether they will battle for substantial purse
offered by the club or for percentage Of the
gate receipts. but. in any event the money will
be divided on the basis of 60 per cent to the
winner and 40 per cent to the loser. Three
O'Clock in the afternoon has been set as the
time for the men to enter the ring.
Both men started active training just three
weeks before: the date of the battle. Abe Attell
2occupying the quarters left vacant by Battling
Nelson, at Arcadia while frankie Neill imme-
Sdiately upon his arrival engaged his old train
ing quarters at Santa Monica where he trained
for, his fights with Billy Decoursey and johnny
Reagan! Both men are already in such fine
shape that neither they nor their adherents car
figure how either man can lose, and the conf
eence expressed in both camps portends the hard
est title ever witnessed III this city. "t.
The apparent; disparity in weights between
a featherweight and bantam does not In reality
exist to any extent in the case of these two
men. Attell can fight below the v122-pouni
notch when occasion requires. while Neill hal
filled out SO much that he can probably put VI
a better fight around 12o than he could at
lighter weight. so that both men may be sait
to be at their best around 122 pounds. Speed

are working for, and, as both boys have al

cation for rehearing. 80: "''r e ~ -;
LAS to the players last affidavit in which he

York American league club, and that 1t was
understood between us that II he was sold to
that club he was to receive onehalf the pur-
chase money bearing out to that extent at
least that an agreement did exist between u.s.
:Mr. Johnson being in Cincinnati during the

the Cincinnati club secure by purchase the re.

placed the matter before him as being per-
sonal favor to me, and thereupon he granted
