FIGHTS ON LABOR DAY.
Many Plans Being Made by
Managers.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-Judging by the
way the different managers of fight clubs
all over the country are hustling to ar
range a show for Labor day 1t is ex-
pected that there will be more important
battles pulled off on that day than on
any holiday in many years. So far two
championship fights have been billed.
Abe Attell and Owen Moran will bat
tie for the featherweight title at Colma
Cal, while Battling Nelson and Joe Cans
will engage in a finish contest for the
lightweight championship and $4,000
purse at Ely, New. Besides these two
great fights there will be others brought
off at Milwaukee. Philadelphia, Boston,
Denver. Baltimore, Salt Lake City, Og-
den, Utah, and at the local fight clubs
If Jim Jeffries sticks to his state
ment that he will never referee another
fight after he officiates in the champion
ship battle between Abe Attell and Owen
Moran on Labor day there is liable to
be some great squa abiding between
Packey Mcfarland and Freddie Welsh as
to who will referee their fight September
8 at Jeffries' club. Jeffries says there
is not chance OF him being the third
man in the ring.

AT BRIGHTON BEACH.
Rumor Concerning Empire City
Meeting.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, July 1S.-Empire City
meeting to be run off at Brighton Beach
is a rumor that has been freely circu-
lated among horsemen. and while it is
not confirmed. it is generally agreed that
should such a decision be reached it
will be popular with both the horsemen
and the public.
The recent hot spell has made a sea-
side track vastly more comfortable than
one inland. and in really hot weather
Mr.. Buffers track could not be made as
comfortable as the Long Island course Of
the Brighton Racing Association. The
advantage to horsemen is patent.
Brighton Beach is within easy reach
Of both Sheepshead Bay and Gravesend,
where most of the horses In trainine
have permanent quarters. It is possible
to walk horses over to the track by the
sea. and all the discomfort and expense
of shipping is avoided. II the change
is made It Is sure to meet with hearty
and unanimous approval

HORSEMEN DRIFTING
TOWARD SARATOGA
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 1S.-A chance to run
again for rich purses will come to horse
men next month with the opening Of the
meeting at Saratoga, and the better class
Of thoroughbreds are already drifting
northward.
There are some Of the better runners at
the Spa now notably John e. Madden's
stars, the two-year-olds, Sir Martin and
Fayette, and the three-year-old King
James, in addition to several ,thers in
the Kentuckian's big string. It had been
expected, because Of an announcement
made by Madden when there was doubt
that Brighton Beach would be able to run
a complete meeting. that he would keep
the string intact to run at the seashore
track, but only the least classy of the
lot have competed at tie Brighton meet
ing.
Harry Payne Whtney's horses were
shipped to Saratoga this week. Juveniles
of the stable are hot this year, appar-
entity, of more class than were those Of
1907, nor does it appear that among the
older horses there Is anything Of the
ability Of Dinna Ken; but the lot is very
serviceable for ordinary racing. With
the revivifying air and water of Saratoga,
Brookdale Nymph may come back to form
sufficiently to run with credit in first
class company. AS far as the Whitney
two-year-olds are concerned they are a
class below the Madden pair, and do
rank possibly, with the best of Keene's
lot.

Keene String.

It Is not known when the Kcene string
will go to Saratoga Usually these have
been shipped with the first flight. but the
action Of Trainer Rowe in taking a trio
of the two-year-old fillies to Brighton
Beach for a fast work last Saturday may
be construed as indicating that they will
be given an outing in these parts before
going north. Celt, it is understood, will
be a starter In one or more of his en-
gagements at Saratoga, and Colin may
be brought into condition to race. There
Is every promise that the sport at Sara
toga will be the best. Although the over
night events are to be materially reduced
in value, seven Of the most important
fixtures remain at their old ngures. and
the four reopened will be worth enough
to make their winning an object. Now
that there are four extra days for which
stakes have not been provided. a new ar
rangement is likely to be made, but it is
probable that they will be filed in with
overnight handicaps OF class.
