Nelson Pays Tribute TO Generalship

SAN FRANCISCO. July G-Joe Cans,
while not making any excuses for his
defeat at the hands of Battling Nelson
last Saturday, is out today with a re
quest for another opportunity. He
says:

Nelson is the real cock Of the walk
in Frisco today. Despite the fact that
few Of them had 4 bet down on him
the Dane is enjoying a great wave Of
popularity. No one who saw the con.
test and the really great fight he put
UP could fail 20 acknowledge him as a
wonder. He literally fought Cans off
his feet after the seventh round and
beat the champion fer his title with his
wicked short-arm jolts TO the stomach.
The one punch Of the right, which
turned the tide Of the battle 10 the
Dane, was left swing to the Jaw in
the eleventh round. This punch weak

which up TO this time he had been able

SOUTHAMPTON. England, July e.
In the best OF spirits and health, the
team Of nearly fourscore american ath-
lctes who will repl Ssent the United
States in the olympic games, which be-
gin here on July 70, arrived on the
steamship Philadelphia yesterday.
The Americans were met at the pier
by James Z. Sullivan, secretary of the
American committee. and as soon as
the baggage was inspected the Ameri-
can athletes were hustled into a waiting
train and whisked off to London, the
Hotel Morton being their destination.
Manager Halpin and NJ. c. Murphy,
who Is with the team in the capacity OF
trainer, reported that with a few excep-
tons ali the men had stood the trip
unusually well, and with week OF pre-
liminary training, which they Will get

on the trip, and. barring a few OF the
men, whose condition was such that
they could do no training. ali were
given athletic work every day. On ac-
count Of the size OF the team, Il was
necessary 70 divide the men up into
squads. one part using the deck during
the forenoon and the other part in the
afternoon. With between thirty and
forty men working ont together. the
deck resembled an immense gymnasium.
Trainer Murphy who has brought
three athletic teams TO this country pre-
Tious 70 the present trip, ordered much
the same training regime as on former
occasions. The sprinters were given
practice at starts and such short dashes
as the deck would permit. This work

Elberfeld Temporary.
IN New York, it is said that the ap-
pointment Of ElberfeId as manager Of
the Highlanders was only temporary,
and that the place has been offered to
Mr.. Murray. who is a strong personal
friend of Owner Frank Farrell.
Another great friend OF MUrray's IS

The release of Ruef on bail is one
of the developments expected as pos

prosecution as result OF the rever-
sal of the Schmitz judgment, which
also nulifies the plea Of guilty made
by Ruef.
The appellate courts decision was
