He says he will be gone about four
months, as he and his manager, Billy
Nolan, expect to go to Australia and
return by the way of Honolulu and
San Francisco. So far Nelson has
been unable to arrange any matches in
England, as good boxers are scarce
and big purses even scarcer. Nelson,
in his letter says:
London, January. 10, 1907.
Dear Friends-Well, l am in old
England, and none the worse for wear.
Billy Nolan is also here and we are
both feeling fine
l arrived the day after New Years
and just got in Liverpool when heard
that Cans had knocked our Herman.
just as expected, Cans had an easy
thing of it.
hope to get another match with
Cans before retire, and If l do it will
do me a world of good, as think l
can beat him the next time beyond
question of doubt.
l am stopping at the Hotel Cecil,
where Tod Sloan and the other big
sports from America have stopped
While here. l am going to remain in
England for month or so, and then
will go with Bill to ireland.
shall have my father here soon and
we will pay a visit to Copenhagen,
where 1 was born. 1 also figure on
going to Australia, China and Homo
n rnf,
way Of Frisco.
l guess it will be four months before
l get back home.
So far there is nothing doing here
in the fight line. They are all pikers
when it comes down to comparing
English sporting clubs with those in
America. When l tell them that
Cans and l fought for purse of
$4,000 they seem to take it is a joke.
There are no such purses in this
country and man is lucky to make
living at the fighting game over here.
At that, may be able to get some
business, and if do you can bet that
l will get as much for my wins as
any fighter that ever came to Eng
land from America. l can't under
stand why there is not bigger money
in England, the home of the boxer.
The fight pictures are taking we'll
in his country and will be shown in
every city on the continent that we
visit.
am looking up all the Americans
here and find that there are quite
few old-time boxers in London and
suburbs. Joe Bowker, the bantam
weight champion, is here, also Owen
Moran and Jabez White, who fought
Jimmy Britt in Frisco.
So far our trip has been without in
cident. but in the event of some good
news coming to hand I will send It to
you for the readers of The World.
Give my regards to all the boys in st.
Louis.
Yours as ever,
Battling Nelson.

and board driving milk wagon, and
thinks himself lucky. He says that he
wishes Young Corbett would do the
same and quit kidding himself about
being a prizetighter. Eastern men
who saw his recent fight with Murphy
make such discouraging reports of
Corbett's demonstration of ability as
to make it doubtful whether he could
qualify to drive milk wagon for a
first class outfit.
Jim Flynn, the Colorado fighter, and
Jack (Twin) Sullivan have been
matched again. The men are to 20
twenty rounds at catch weights before
the Pacific Athletic club of Los Angel
es on the night of February %. These
men met before the same club last
month, and after a hard twentg-round
go Flynn was awarded the decision.
Rather queer fact, but of the six
Delehanty boys who have become pro-
fessional baseball players, not one has
batted left-handed. Jim, who will be
with the Browns this year, explains
this partially by saying that with the
exception of Joe all of the boys started
as infielders and most infielders bat
right-handed.
Tommy Murphy received $3.50 for
his victory over Young Corbett."
This is the largest amount of money
that the Harlem fighter has received
out of any battle since he became a
professional pugilist. This sum was
given him out of the $1,000 gross re-
ceipts Of the fight. Tommy got IS per
cent of the receipts. Corbett received
close to $4,000, his end being II 1-2
per cent. =
Harry Lumley is the most valuable
ball player in the world He belongs
to the Brooklyn club of the National
league, and his worth has so increased
during the past three years that he
has brought the Long Island organiza-
ton out of the mire and put 1t on a
paying basis. From the manner in
which the club hangs on to him it is
estimated that he actually represents
$4,000 of the clubs assets.

Now in his Illinois home, Cyclone
Thompson says that the reason he did
not get a match with Jimmy Britt was
because the latter wanted him to fake
fight. Thompson says that Britt Of
fered him $4,000 to lay down. The
Cyclone agreed, but Britt became sus-
picious and wanted Thompson to post
$4,000 forfeit to agree to the crooked
deal. Then it fell through. Thomp-
son in 164 battles has never been
knocked out.
Thomas Downey, who was the train
er OF Jake Kilrain at the time of the

FIX THE SUMNER RATES
Tourist Rates on all Western Lines
This Summer Will Be Lower
Than Last Year.

Summer tourists rates will on the
average be lower this summer than
they were last year. At meeting held
in Chicago Thursday passenger men Of
the western lines decided on the rates
to be taxed during the coming season.
Especial figures have been made for
the summer resorts along the lakes in
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa, but
the other rates are nearly the same as
formerly. A round trip rate between
St Paul and Kansas City will be es-
tablished at SIS, which is only SOC
higher than the regular one-way fare
The rate to Omaha will be $3.50, and
to Chicago, SIG. A round trip rate be-
tween Chicago and Duluth will be put
in Of SIS. The other rates will be the
same as they were last summer.
These tickets will be on sale from
June to Sept. and will be good for
return until Oct 81.

INTERNATIONAL RACE
CIRCUIT will
STICK"
Fargo Report Says Association
May Disband Because of
Clash in Dates.
FARGO MAY WITHDRAW
But the New Organization Will
be Permanent Hope for
Amicable Settlement.

The International racing circuit re-
Gently organized in this city and in
GLIDING Fargo, Grand Forks, Mino,
Winnipeg and several other of the
larger cities of this state will con-
tinue in eXistance Notwithstanding the
Fargo report that because of the diff
ference between Grand Forks and that
city, for which no settlement has yet
been reached, the association would
come to .naught
President A. 1. Hunter of the North
Dakota State Fair association said,
this morning, that the citizens of the
city up the Red seemed to have a
wrong impression of the affair. Fargo
may withdraw but that will not neces-
sarily mean the shattering of all plans
surrounding the future welfare and or
ganization of the International Fair
and Racing association.
In the muddle of dates between Far
go and Grand Forks, President Hun
ter states that he has written to VAL
ley City not with the understanding
that he wanted Valley City to change
the dates of the Barns county fair, but
only to find out if they could be in
duced to change these dates in case
either Grand Forks or Fargo should
want to use them. The Valley City
dates are July to II. President Hun
ter also wrote to George McFarlan
of the Barnes county fair association
but as yet has received no reply.
The Fargo version of the trouble
date is as follows:
'The Northern racing circuit, which
was recently organized at Grand Forks
and includes a number of the larger
cities of North Dakota, will go out of
existence unless some amicable agree
ment can be reached between Fargo
and Grand Forks relative to next sum-
mer's racing dates. This was the
statement made by c. E. Wilson,
secretary of the North Dakota State
Fair association, today.
"The circuit was organized condi-
tionally and With the understanding
that it was to continue only in case
the clash between Fargo and Grand
Forks can be settled to the satisfaction
of both parties" said Mr.. Wilson.
"a. l. Hunter, president of the state
fair association of Grand Forks, and
the others who were with him, took
the ground that everything should give
way for the state fair and that we
should arrange our dates SO that they
would not conflict with Grand Forks
While refusing to assent to this propo-
sition entirely, we agreed that if the
Valley City people thought as they did
and would agree to let us have the
second week in July, which they had
settled upon for their races, we would
change our date to suit the convent
ence of Grand Forks, but not other
wise.
"Since the meeting we have beer
waiting to hear from Grand Forks
but as yet no word has been received
1t is UP to Grand Forks and Vale,
City to settle the matter betwee,
them"

THE STOCK men ADJOURNED
Meeting ut Mandan Had to he Put On
On Account of the Delay En-.
cOuntered by Delegates.

Professor w. B. Richards has re-
turned to Fargo from Mandan where
he went to attend the annual con-
vention of the North Dakota Live Stock
association which was scheduled to be
held in that city Jan. 81, % and %.
The convention has been adjourned
until the latter part of June on ac-
count of the demoralized state OF
transportation facilities, when it will
be held at Mandan.
cit was impossible for us to hold a
successful convention at this time,"
said Professor Richards. THE storm
of Saturday put the roads in such
condition that the farmers around
Mandan could not get in to attend the
meeting and with all the railroads
tied up, the stockmen from different
parts Of the state were prevented from
coming, so it was decided to adjourn
the meeting of the association until
the latter part of June. By that time
the farmers will have completed their
spring and early summer work and
will be able to attend the meeting in
large numbers.
"The people of Mandan were much
disappointed that the meeting could
not be held, as they had made every
preparation to entertain the visitors
royalty. They raised $500 for this
purpose"
One session OF the association was
held in the Mandan operahouse on
Tuesday evening, and was largely at
tended by the citizens of Mandan.
Several addresses were delivered.
An attempt is to be made to secure
an appropriation of $1,000 from the
legislature for the purpose of carrying
on the work of the association.
