TO HANG
UP A $4,000
PURSE

SALT LAKE, Nov. I9.-Tex Richard.
the GoldheId fight promoter. passed
through here recently on his way East
to settle the difficulty regarding the
profits of the Cans Nelson pictures.
Richard. before leaving, said he had
a guaranteed offer of $4,000 for a
match between Battling Nelson and
the winner of the Gans-Herman fight
at Tonopah. Nevada, on January 1.
Rickard is planning to advertise Ely,
Nevada, and the leading miners there
have authorized him to offer $4,000
purse to secure the big fight for July A.
Tex is man of high standing in
business circles. out West and his
statements can be relied on.
Should nothing occur that will tend
to force Richard to withdraw his offer
the fight will go down in history as a
battle for the largest purse that has
ever been. offered.
This offer will no doubt stir both
Herman and Cans on to fit themselves
for the battle of their lives, as victory
in this contest means more than the
securing of the championship title.

WAR ON BETWEEN
THE TRACKS OF
NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 19.-Trouble
is brewing between the Western Jockey
Club and the American Turf Associa-
ton here on account of the admission
fee. Officials of both tracks-the old
Fair Grounds and City Park-have an
nounced the suspension Of the free list
which was prevalent last winter, but
the two factions do not agree on the
general admission price,
The latest friction may cause the
dove of peace to fly away before the
gates are thrown open Saturday for
the winter campaign. President Heas-
lip of the New Orleans Jockey Club,
which is affiliated with the American
Turf Association, said tonight that he
intended to charge the public 81 gen
eral admission fee, irrespective of what
the Fair Grounds officials would do.
Secretary Williamson of the Crescent
City Jockey Club said the track he
represented would charge $3.50 adj
mission.
Efforts are being made to win over
President Heaslip, but he is firm and
trouble is expected as result.

ONE FIGHT A WEEK
TO TAKE PLACE
AT COLMA
By w. j. SIattery

Manager Billy Roche of the Colma
Club is getting ready to pull off fights
every Saturday evening in the
suburban ring. The first installment
of these goes probably will be put on
after the Ward-POwell encounter.
which is on the bills at Colma for
Thanksgiving evening.
Roche does not know yet where he
will get the talent for the shows, but
in all probability he will draw from
the amateur ranks in this city. He
understands that it will be impossible
to secure high grade men to perform
every week so it is likely that the
new venture will be very much on
the lines of the amateur shows that
take place here
This game may be all right If it
does not injure the sport. AS a matter
of fact, the game is being overdone

to them so rapidly for the last three
or four months that the interest is
gradually dying off, so that the big
houses that once were so easy to draw
