THE PUGlLISTS
JOE CANS WILL
 CALL THE TURN
If Nelson Wants to Fight He Must Do as Cans Dictates Other
 Fight News.

San Francisco, Sept 14.-Frank May, the Reno promoter: still has faith in the drawing powers of Bat ting Nelson, as yesterday he made a $25,000 offer to Billy Nolan for a fight to finish between Nelson and Joe Cans.
 However, as his original offer for the same match was $35,000, he evidently considers Nelson's defeat at the hands of Jimmy Britt $10,- 900 drawback. .~.- Billy Nolan, on behalf of the Dane, is willing to go ahead at the proposition, and states that he will box Cans on winner-take-all basis. Ben Selig was noncommittal on the subject, except that he said if an other match was arranged between Cans and Nelson the champion would do the dictating., .,-
 If Cans consents to fight Nelson Selig wants 80 per cent of the purse, win, lose or draw. In other words, now that Cans is the drawing card and has the upper hand, Selig wants to dictate the terms. He says at Goldfield Joe was in straitened cir cumstances, and had not only to give the bulk of the purse to Nelson, but also had to weigh in at ridicu- louslyz low weight.
 Now the shoe is on the other foot. Cans is the magnet, and he has money, while Nelson is looked upon as "down-and-outer" and ought to consider himself lucky to get a re- turn match with Cans on any sort of terms

WRESTLING WILL
 SOON BE STARTED
Harry Drinkwater and Louis Mon tague-Will Meet Next Month
 More News.

The wrestling game will soon be humming in this city and Manager Joe Lawlor of the Physical Culture club has one match already in the works. Harry Drinkwater has been resident of the city. for some time and has been frequenter of the Brooklyn Athletic club. Probably Eddie O'Connell heard that Drink water and Dave Cronan might train together and that was the reason Eddie did not show up when he said he would to make the match with Dave. However Drinkwater has now been matched to meet Louis Mon- tague in a straight catch as catch can contest, best two out of three falls, for side bet of $50. The match will take place on Thursday evening, October 3, and according to all re- ports will be a hummer.
 Izzie Winters of New Haven was in Hartford last night and announced that he was matched with Mike Frank of New Britain for grappling bout in New Britain on September 21. Frank, who weighs 160 pounds, agrees to throw Winters four times in an, hour for side bet of $50. Winters weighs 125 pounds. Sam Burke of Philadelphia is to meet H. D. Morgan, who spent a few weeks in Hartford this summer. Morgan comes from Detroit. They will wrestle at catchweights, two out of three falls to a finish. Philip Bonefant of New Britain is to be referee. Morgan says that if he is successful in this match he will go after some of the heavyweights, in- cluding Hjalmer Lundin.
 H. w. Hinds of 53 Grove street, Worcester, writes to Kid Rosenstein of Hartford as follows:
 Fritz Hanson of this city request ed me to write to you for wrestling match and have man, 130 pounds, that I would like to match. He is Kid Sloane of Worcester, is pretty fast and would like to know if you would like to take him on vt about that weight, 130 pounds, and if a match can be had. I will leave the proposition open to you at your earliest convenience and hope for an early reply.

Springfield. Sept 14.-Jaek Hess didn't give the Brownies from New Haven much more than a pleasant smile yesterday. If it had been left entirely to Jacks display of pitching power. New Haven wouldn't have rung the register. Only three hits were made by the visitors and one of them was a scratch. while the lone tally they gleaned could have been prevented by tighter defense work Phil Corooran was clouted hard.

IMPROVING SERMONS.



The Kirk Of Scotland has always laid
great stress upon the power Of sermons
in its ministrations. John Kerr, in his
"Other Memories, Old and New" gives
some Of his own recollectlens on this
point.
A minister whose disposition was
rather to drive than to lead called on
woman whose attendance at church
was not quite so regular as he wished.
II was pleased" he said, ito see
you at church yesterday. You have
not been very regular lately"
"Oh, yes, / was there yesterday. l
likit your discourse, and was muckle
the better OF"
I'm glad Of that You'll remem-
Der the text, no doubtT'
mo, I've a very bad memory for
texts"
"Well, you remember what said
about 1t, or some of the things l saldp
mo, 1 Gamma say that 1 can reel of
anything ye said"
My good woman, you must be a
hypocrite to say you were the better
for being at the church, when you can
not tell me either the text or anything
/ said about it."
do ye see," she replied, pointing to
some clothes that were bleaching on
the green, ''thae claes cot thereY
EYES," he said.
"Weel, I watered them half an hour
since, and there's no a drap o. water
to be seen on them moo; but they're a
hantle the better OF for a. that"
This recalls the experience Of another
minister whose sermons were dull and
not for edlfcation. Meeting one Of
his congregation who had been a seri-
GUS defaulter in respect Of attendance,
he said, John, you have not been at
church for a long time"

zap General Received Many Honors
on Departure From
Yokohama

Victoria, B. G., April 29.-The steam
er Empress of China, which arrived
Sunday, after fast passage Of 10 days
and IA hours from Yokohama, brought
news that General Baron Kuroki and
his party Of representative Japanese
military officers sent by the Japanese
government to the jamestown exposi-
ton were given an enthusiastic fare
well at Yokohama when they sailed
on the Japanese liner Aki Maru. Gen
eral Kuroh and his party were ordered
to worship at the imperial sanctuary at
Toxic the day before their departure,
and the same evening were entertained
by the American ambassador.
Baroness Kurod and children accom-
panied her husband to Yokohama. The
Aki Maru is due Wednesday at Seattle
and the party will proceed east at
once, the stay being limited. They
will probably remain but three weeks,
returning to Japan by the steamer
Kaga Maru, at the end of May.

PRoD1G1ns FOR THEIR AGE.

Christian HeinecIzen, the scholar.
ana Mozart, Musician, .AEaeveln.
OF all the infant prodigies that have
interested and astonlshed both hemi-
spheres it is generally believed that
none was greater than little Christian
Heinecken of Lubbock. This remarka-
Bile youngster when at tie tender age
Of 10 months was able to recite the
Pentateuch without an error and could
pass the most thorough examination
without a single slip. Fancy a child
Of 3 being able to converse fluently in
both French and Latin. But that Is
what Master Christian could do and he
could hold his own with the best mas
ters Of these languages.
No one could catch MIN on a single
question in history, ancient or modern,
and he was more familiar with re-
ligious and church history than the
majority Of clergymen are. Before
young Helnecken died, at the age Of
4, he was petted and made much Of by
royalty Of the Danish court, while
thousands of people fncked to see him
and listen to the words of knowledge
and wisdom that fell from his baby
lips.
Another infant phenomenon, whose
line was music instead Of languages,
was beloved Mozart, who was looked
upon as a harpsichord expert almost
before he could talk. AS a matter Of
fact the child, Wolfgang Mozart, com
posed concerto at the tender age Of
and, what was still more remarkable
this composition was 50 difficult that
young Mozart's father, who enjoyed
an enviable reputation as violinist,
could not master the work of his son
until he had devoted considerable time
to practicing 1t. Imagine this boy Civ
ing a recital in a university hall be-
fore musicians of worldwide reputation
as students Of music who had played
before Mozart was born. By the time
he had reached the age of this aston
fishing youth had won Europe entirely
and he was in fair way to being
spoiled by the kings and expresses who
showered him with honor, affection and
gifts.

PEARYNEEDSS6OOOO.
TO FINANCE EXPEDITION TO
NORTH POLE THIS SUMMER.
He Thinks He Was Intended for That
WOrk-Has Reached Farthest Point
North-Wants to startln June, This
Year-schOOl Children May Raise
Fund to Help Send Him.

Lack of $4,000 to finance the expedi-
ton may mean the abandonment of the
dash to the north pole which Com
mander Peary has planned for this
summer. The explorer, who has earned
the distinction of having reached "the
farthest north" and who truly may be
said to live for the purpose of reveal
ing to the world the mysteries of the
pole itself, is deeply downcast at the
possibility that he may not be able to
try again.
This is work which must do, a
great work for which l was intended, !"
said Commander Peary, and with a
confidence that his work must be help
ed from somewhere, he said:
THE money will come; somehow
feel certain of that. But if was only
assured now, what a relief it would be,
and how l could concentrate all my
energies on the details of the expedi-
ton. Remember, we were but TIA
miles from the goal on our last trip.
1t would be pity indeed if we could
not try again"
4 L
the latter part of June. His ship, The
Roosevelt, which proved its highest
worth on the last expedition, is now
being prepared for tie next attack on
the northern ice fields The greater
part of the $4,000 already subscribed
will be spent in repairing the boat, and
100000 more will be needed for gen
eraI expenses. The Peary, Arctic club
is caring largely for the refltting of
the Roosevelt, and it has issued an
appeal for contributions from the peo-
pie of the country, so that total Of
100000 may be raised.
The club feels, as does Commander
Peary himself, that the people should
share in the next expedition. The
idea of permitting the public school
children of the country to take part in
the movement has been suggested to
Peary. 1t met with his approval, but
he is in doubt as to how such pro
gram could be carried out.
81 am not complaining" he said,
"but if l was certain about the mate
rial aspect. of the expedition great
| burden would be lifted. Ola you ever
realize what the details of the prepare
ton for the invasion of the north
means. If anything is left undone OF
anything forgotten after we have actu-
ally gotten away, then it is too late
We get along as best we can"
To this gigantic task of discovery
Commander Peary implicitly believes
his fellow countrymen should lend
their interest and support. and his alb.
solute confidence that he has been as.
signed to attain the goal expresses
his conviction that he will win.
Peary says if conditions are favor
able the objects of the expedition
might be accomplished in one season
But he might remain north as long as
three years. He was preparing, he
said, for a. long and strong battle.
