Fighters SIGN
An AGREEMENT
PROMOTER FOR BRITT-NELSON
GO WILL BE ANNOUNCED LAT
ERA MYSTERIOUS INDIVIDUAL

SAN FRANCISCO, June G.-Acting
through their representatives, Jimmy
Britt and Battling Nelson last night
signed a set of articles binding them
selves to a twenty-round fight on the
night of July Sd, the weight to be 1873
pounds at 6 o'clock on the day of the
contest, and the money to be split 90
per cent to the winner and 40 to the
loser. 1t was announced that a pro-
mOter has been secured, but that, in
Difference to his wishes, his name will
not be announced until next Saturday.
There was but one dehnite announce
ment. That came from Nolan, and 1t
was to the effect that the fight would
not be handled by Jack Gleason. 1t
had previously been rumored that
Gleason would probably be the pro-
moter, but this statement puts Jack
out of the running Whether Alex
Greggins will promote the fight, No
Ian refused to state. He declared that
the mysterious individual who is as
yet nameless, had the promise of a
permit for the fight and that a $500
deposit would be made the last of the
week by the club.
According to the articles between
the fighters, each is to make a S25OO
deposit. Nolan put up checks repre-
senting that amount with the stake
holder, and Willis Britt, who said that
he was caught unprepared, promised
to deposit his coin some time today.

SPORTS
SHOOT May HAVE
TO Be POSTPONED
BIG INTER-ISLAND WIRELESS
EVENT DEPENDENT ON A}RI-
VAL OF CLAY TARGET.

There is just a possibility that the
"wirelses" shooting match between
teams of the Hawaiian Gun Club, of
Honolulu, and of the Maui Gun Club,
scheduled for next Sunday, will have
to be postponed, for the reason that
the Honolulu shooters are out of tar
gets. The supply of clay discs recent
ly ordered have been unaccountably
delayed, and although more have been
ordered by cable it is not absolutely
certain whether or not they will get
here in time. They should, however,
be here on the Sierra on Friday, and
on this hope the Club is depending.
There was no shoot held yesterday
at the Kakaako traps as usual for the
reason that there are only about one
hundred birds on hand.
Between now and the sailing of the
Claudine on Friday afternoon Capt j
w. Harvey, of the local team of shoot.
ers, will have decided upon the re.
naming two men to make out the
team of eight to shoot against Maui
so that it can be forwarded by the
boat.
