good ball. However, Root had the shade
the best of it in the number of hits, al

well scattered with the exceptions of the
first and last innings Root held the

however, counted for q run.
Halla got away bad in the first in

like a Japan native than a ball player,

but if Nelson should happen to fall by
the wayside there will be much wailing
in the camp of the Durable Dane. At
present Nelson has a half dozen good
offers under consideration for a return
match with Joe Cans, one of them being
New. Tex Ricard is also after Nelson
and Cans for a bout on Labor Day and
Nelson can demand any old kind OF
purse he cares to ask for should he win
a quick victory over Britt. Joe Cans
has about made up his mind to hght
Nelson at 1873 pounds ringside, and 1t IS
stated on good authority that there will
be no trouble in bringing the men to-
gether should Nelson make out well
with Britt and Cans win over George
Memsic, whom he is to box at Los An
August.

Ever since Nelson handed out such an
awful grueling to Jimmy two years ago
at Colna the latter has been laundering
after a return match. Jimmy mas often
said he would be willing to retire from
public gaze if he could only get on an
other match with Nelson and whip him.
Previous to their flight at Colma Britt
had won a decision over Nelson in Il
twenty-round go at Frisco December ~
1904. The coming fight will in a way
serve to settle the future plans or both
men. 1t will demonstrate whether or
not either boxer has gone back since
last seen in the ring, and also settle the
question of supremacy between the TWO
light weights.
After Nelson returned from his recent
trip to England there was a story af1oat
that the Hagewisch champion had
broken down and would hardly be able
to put up a bruising contest again. The
same story has been told about Britt
dozen times.

AS a base runner he is without an

great game in the field. He is a regu-

fan rarely has a chance to witness
as fine a game as the second one was.
1t was a, pitchers battle from start to
finish and it looked all through as
though Jones would win. The popular
southpaw had the Miners on his staff
and with his splendid control they were
helpless. until the ninth inning. Jones
famed eight. and made many of the
others look ridiculous as they were
puzzled by his delivery. But some times
the best pitchers lose. Fate is a, queer
thing. The game went along until the
ninth inning and Topeka seemed to
have the best of 1t. But in this inning
Joplin won. Ffllman, who had previ-
ouSly famed three times, secured a hit.
Harrington worked a sacrifice and Rohn
walked. Ffllman and Rohn started a
double steal and Fillman was caught
at third, Rohn reaching second with
safety. A hit by Persch over the In
field and Just inside of the foul line de-
cided the game. The ball was Texas
Lacquer and both Olson and Davis
started for 1t. Either could have caught
it but both started after it and the
ball dropped safe, Rohn crossing the
plate for the only run of the game.
In the last half of the ninth Runkel
singled and Raglan sacrificed him to
second but he got no further as Price,
who went in to bat for Olson famed
and Jones rolled one to Bankhead, which
ended the game
Topeka was unlucky in the second
game. Erwin started the second inning
with a triple but the next three men
went out.
The features of the game were the
fielding of Persch and Wooley. The
former robbed the Champs of several
safe ones.
Umpire Guthrie, who was nearly put
out of commission by the Webb City
team, worked in the double header, and
while he had a couple of close dec1s-
ions got away in good shape.

Joplin took both ends of the double
header from the locals at the ball park
yesterday afternoon. The first game
was won when the Miners punched their
hlts with telling effect in the first and
last innings. The second game was a
pitchers battle between Jones and
Westcott and was lost through the in
ability of the Topeka team to decide
who should catch Persch's Texas Lacquer
over first base. As a result the Topeka
team is today reposing in the second
division for the first time this season.
