WHO is CLEvELANDS' JONAH.
Lajoie's Blues the Most unIucky Team
In The American League.

There is no denying the fact that the
Cleveland Americans are hoodooed by
accidents. Year after year some one
or two star players are incapacitated
Several years ago Manager LaJoie was
out for nearly an entire season with
q bad ankle. Then Bill Bradley had
his arm broken and was out of the
game quite long time. Last year
Terry Turner, mig" Clarke, Harry
Bemis and Addie Joss were the vic
tins. Elmer Flick, the Maps star out
fielder, had to quit last summer and
only returned to his team the other
day.
This year the hospital list has been
a large one. Fully eight members Of
the team have been laid up time and
again since the season opened The
most recent member was First Base
man George Stovall, who had his left
wrist sprained and several ligaments
torn. He will be out for a month or
more, and now comes the news that
an X ray examination Of Terry Tur-
ner's arm has disclosed the fact that
one Of the muscles of his injured shoul-
der is pressing on a nerve. This
causes the shortstop great pain when
ever he throws a ball. Cotton Top"
will be of little use to Cleveland this
year.
1t would be foolish to say that
Cleveland is the only club that is Grip
pied each year by accidents to players,
for such is not the case, but the truth
of the matter is that 1t is generally
the player that Cleveland can spare
the least that is hurt, while with the
other teams their stars manage to keep
in the game most Of the time. 1t is
certainly very hard luck for Manager
LajOie.

Sweet Marie After Saddle Records.

1t is possible that before this season

daughter of the renowned Mckinney,

records to her already long and sensa-
tional list. Last season this remarka-
BILE trotter did great things on the mile
and half mile tracks, breaking records
wherever she went with apparent ease,
but this season she will be trained to

express purpose in view of lowering
the present worlds record of 2:141l.

vile track in 1904, ridden by G. X. G,
Billings. w. J. Andrews has asked
Fl. X. Devereux, the well known anna
teur reinsman, to ride Sweet Marie an
exhibition mile at one of the Grand
Circuit meetings this season, which he
has agreed to do. Andrews has Sweet
Marie in training and will prepare her
for her seasons exhibition campaign,
which will consist of harness and sad
die events.

LIGHTWEIGHT.
not seem to trouble him in the least
His habit of keeping his head down
makes it very hard to get to his jaw,
and many fighter has broken his
hands on his thick, hard skull. Nelson
Is pretty sure to make every man he
fights weigh in at the lightweight limit
-133 pounds ringside.
No champion in the world ever had
the fights that Battling Nelson has had
to get the honors. He has met every
good man of his weight in the world.
There was no sidestepping in his. The
tougher they were the better he liked
them; the faster they were the quicker
they dropped. Unlike many Of the
other white fighters, he didn't shy at
the great colored man who headed his
class.
A story of Nelson's life by himself
would undoubtedly be one Of the most
interesting sporting books ever writ
ten. He has in few years time work
ed himself up from waiter in cheap
New Orleans lunch room to the highest
place in the lightweight division Of the
pugilistic world And as for money

NEXT MAN FOR DANE
Fight Fans Talk Of McFarland's
Chances With Nelson.
CANS TO GET ANOTHER GO.

~Tsxas" Richards Offer Of $4,000
Purse For Pair to Meet on Labor
Day Has Been Accepted - Nelson
Surely Entitled 20 Championship.
With Joe Cans finally deprived Of
the lightweight championship the flu
ture battles for those honors come up
for discussion. "Who, viii be Battling
Nelson's next opponent?' is the Ques-
tion being asked at the various boxing
headquarters throughout the country.
There are not very many irst class
boxers In line to take on the Dane. and
Packey Mcfarland Is the choice Of the
fight fans. Whether he will be the
Danes next adversary Is q question,
His contest with Freddie Welsh. which
resulted in a draw, may have ten
dency to have him seek another battle
with the Englishman or with others
before he tackles Nelson for the hon
ors.
OF course the return match recently
made with Joe Cans, scheduled for
next Labor day Sept y at Ely. New,
should Under ordinary circumstances
become the Danes next bout, but there
has developed probability that the
fight viii be postponed, and that Ne;.
son win take on some other man be-
fore clashing with the dusky Balti.
morean.
Mcfarland was given a draw with
Welsh by Jim Jeffries and, is down.
cast over the decision, particularly
since Nelson whipped Cans. If he had
decisively beaten the Englishman,
there Is no question but that he would
be Nelson's next opponent Since Nc
Farland secured only draw the new
champion probably will
take on some one else until the Chi
cago lightweight. whips Welsh. as he
says he wishes to do. He Is eager for
a return match and. as Jetfries wants
to stage it before his club, there Is
possibility Of their getting together
soon. q.
Outside of Welsh and Mcfarland
there are no lightweights who are
thought to be made of championship
timber, and 1t is more than likely tEat
no others will be taken seriously until
one or the other or both have met Mel
son.
1t will now be interesting to note the
effect on the lightweight situation with
Nelson as champion. The Dane is not
a clever boxer and is not even first
class fighter, for the reason that be,
does not know how to hit. But he is
an exceedingly tough proposition for
any man to stop and is thoroughly
game. He loves a mixup, and blows
that would stop an ordinary fighter do
