DETAILS M ADE FOR NELSON
 CANS FIGHT
PreliminarieS Arranged and Everything Now Ready
 for the Gong,

battle TOT tne WOflU lSnlWSiSuJ championship on Sept. 3. the last de- tail seems to have been settled today when the fight club received tele- graphic assurance from the San Fran cisco Call that Miles Bros. would make good on their bond guaranteeing the performance of their contract for mak- ing moving pictures of the fight. It was a close shave for the San Fran cisco firm. because others were be- ing considered up to the moment of the receipt of the Calls message. The fight promoters are now figuring up on making the first exhibition of the pictures in Goldfield.
 Since Nelson has gone into training and the Goldfield sports have had an opportunity to compare his work with that of the black champion there has been a notable division of opinion up- on the outcome of the fight and it would not be surprising 10 see many eyen-money bets made Tn the camp. At present Cans is a 10 to 9 favCrite. though no wagers of importance are being made. Freak bets are numer- ous. and after Sept the mining camp will be rarely entertained with wheel barrow hauls. peanut rOllings and the like.
 Mcdonald and Cans Both Satisfied.
 Frank Mcdonald is satisfied with Cans condition and says he looks for a fight shorter than fifteen rounds. Cans is satisfied with himself and says that if Nelson fights his usual come along forcing fight he will be there to nRet the Danes OnslaughtS. Cans did his usual nine miles of road work this morning. He went through his gym nasium exercises and boxed Sims in the afternoon. He says that he will do no boxing after this week. prefer ring to take no chance of iniuring his hands.
 Frank Mcdonald has strung punch ing bag to the doors. where it will get the afternoon sun, and with this he expects to have the negro accustom his eyes to the glare of desert daylight. It is a wise scheme and worthy of the trainer who has been in the cor nG of nearly ali the men Nelson has beaten. including Hanlon and Young Corbett.
 But I've got the real live one now" said Mcdonald.
 NelSon's quarters today were packed to the limit of their capacity and he won another bunch of packers by the earnestness of his work. His boxing bout. however, was bad again for Cliff I0rQ. ana tIIv-Iatesrl will sSiaI5iiI- EfliR- quish a portion of his wC7k wfJh inc Dane to Bobby Lundy, who aas not yet arrived.
 Convict Asks But for a Phonograph.
 The promoters of the contest, who were never really anxious about the return Of the $50, 900 put up for the fight. and who felt sure that the sum was well expended in proportion to the advertising it would give the camp, are now beginning to worry over the belief that the arena will not accom- modate the attending crowd. Already Tex Richards safe contains checks and gold coin paid in advance for the res ervation of more than 25O S25 box seats. The tickets have not yet been printed.
 The daily mail in both camps brings numberless letters to fighters and managers. Nolan says that he ans wered 150 correspondents of all sorts today. There are threatening and begging letters and those that go no further than well wishing or announce ment of a purpose to attend the bat tie.
 
 matter the queerest was from a pris- oner in the Nevada penitentiarX at Carson asking the Battler to send him a photograph. The convict stated that musical instruments of all kinds were allowed the prisoners and that the talking machine would make many enjoyable hours for the cOnyicts in the evenings and on Sunday after moons.
 A message from George SileT today stated that he would be here five days before the fight. This will give him ample time to consult the principals in the battle and to show Goldfield that he is a long way from blindness.
 Automobile Race Instead of BuIlfight.
 An automobile contest between Old field and Charles Christman, the cham pion motorist of Nevada, may be the attraction in Goldfield on the morning of Labor day instead of the widely heralded bull fight An informal gath, ering of the members of the Goldfield Athletic club was held today to con- slider the matter.
 Hundreds of letters of protest from clergymen, the Young Mems Christian associations and benevolent societies have been received by Tex RickaTd since the announcement of the pTopos ed contest between tOreaGor and bull Although no definite acton was talk en, it was the feeling Of the proUi nent men present that to hold the bull fight in the face of so much de cided opposition would be unwise.
 ChTtstman, the local motorist, is bacled by l.. M. Sullivan, president of the Sullivan Trust company; Tex Rick ard. l.. l.. Patrick, Ole Elliott and sev eral other prominent men. They have agreed to put up any amount from s5000 to $10.000 for the race. Christ mar's challenge to Oldfield will be sent out immediately.
 It is proposed to hold the contest on flat stretch of desert eleven miles in length and fully four miles in width At one time this area was covered with water, which, evaporating, has left the bottom as hard as a billiard table. 2 On a trip from Tonopah to Goldfield recently, with Battling" Nelson as a passenger, Christman covered the thirty-one miles of desert road, with
