NELSON AGREES TO
TAKE CANS ON AGAIN

SAN FRANCISCO. July s-Battling
Nelson has agreed to fight Cans at
Ely. New. on Labor Day for a purse
Of 100000 offered by Tex RiclSard. Nell
son. now that he is champion, demands
$4,000 of this Cans is holding out
for $4,000.
Cans defeat Saturday is likely to
upset his plans for sparring tour of
Europe So certain was he that he
would be returned a winner over the
Dane that he wired Adam Ryan, one
of his sparring partners, to be ready
TO accompany him on a trip to Europe
the latter part Of this month.
Another fight with Nelson can be
made so financially attractive that
Cans will forego this trip. as he figures
that an ex-champion would not be a
big card abroad. He believes that nc
can regain his title in another meeting
with, Nelson and then so abroad and
reap a rich harvest.

REVIVAL OF THE
GAME OF TENNIS
Many Courts in and Around
Wilmington Ere Occupied
Daily

Sportsmen of Wilmington and It's
suburbs are viewing with interest the
revival in lawn tennis that Ia now in
evidence at most of the pleasure
grounds in and about the city. And
not few are also wondering that the
game had not been taken up more ex-
tensively by Wilmingtonians long ago
Having nothing of the character Of a
'mollycoddle" sport. as many of the
unlknowing style It, and yet giving the
ease and leisure that make IL a whole
some recreation as well as an active
one, IL is most appropriate that It
should be taken UP at this time.
I on many lawns that adjoin the resi-
ldences Of the wealthy Of the city, ten
mis- courts have been placed and daily
games are a feature Of the social ac-
tvities OF many Of the well-to-do
young people. At the wilmington
Country Club. OF course, tennis has
been a feature. and the matches have
attracted wide attention. Indeed, I'm a
measure. the sudden popularity of ten
mis- at this time may be due to the ap-
pearance Of a number Of the country's
tennis lights at the Country Club the
past year or two.
Tennis is also receiving much atten-
iuoh AT tne grounds OF the Y. NJ. G. A.
at Elsmere. where more than ordinary
effort has been made 10 make the game
popular. Lockers, shower baths and
other conveniencesN are here provided
for tennis players, and the game has
been taken up with vim by any num-
ber Of those who formerly believed II
to be uninteresting. There are six
courts on the Y. NJ. c. A. grounds.
Robert ID. Kemp is chairman of the
committee in charge Of tennis arrange
ments. and lovers Of the game may
lapply to him TO enjoy the privileges OF
lthe courts.
In Brandywine Park tennis is prov
ling very popular, and the tennis courts
there are the scenes OF interesting
lgames. on the triangle over Wash
lington street bridge. also. the courts
ARE largely used by the young people

PHONE BULLETINS
OVER 1900 MILES
D. & A. Company Furnishing
The Journal News of
Denver Convention

THE EVENING JOURNAL is being
furnished with a very effective bulle-
tin service by the Delaware and Al
lantic Telegraph and Telephone Com
pany covering the scenes and pro-
.ceedings of the Democratic National
Convention at Denver, Col. The wire
which conveys these messages is be
tween 1900 and 1900 miles long, and
is unbroken from Convention Hail to
the long distance exchange of the d..
& A. Company at Sixth and Shipley
streets. r
The bulletins received at the last
named point were then relayed totTHE
JOURNAL Office over a specially equip
ped wire. The rapdity with which
these messages are transmitted from
the convention to this city is little short
Of marvellous. In no case did it require
over four minutes for the sending of
these messages, and a number of them
were received in a shorter interval Of
time. The route of the wire used from
Denver to Wilmington is by way of
Omaha, Chicago and Pittsburg. s
The telephone service nearly across
the continent is being furnished through
the courtesy of the d. and A. Company
and others using the Bell svstemi and
1t illustrates the great strides made in
telephoning within the past few years.
One bulletin that was OF particular in
terest to whiting Wilmingtonians yes
day was to this eT-@t:
"11.3O a. m.-Delegates are now en-
gaging in a SNOWFALL battle outside tho
convention hall"
And the mercury was 90 in the shade
here at the time.

Tri-State circuit IN Pennsylvania in which
demonstrations have not been made
against the umpires within the ball parks
this season. There is yet to be made an
attack on an umpire or player within
South Side Park this season. This speaks
well for the sportsmanship Of Whining
tonians who attend the baseball games.
But there has been abundant provocat'on
for the Wilmington patrons to "climb
over the fence" after some of the umpires.
Bad decision after bad decision has been
given at South Side Park this season, and
protest after protest has been made
against this unfair, partial or incompetent
umpiring. It may truthfully be said that
Umplres Corners and Bannon have been
the fairest in Wilmington this season and
the only umpires who have given general
satisfaction.
Wilmington discovered that Finneran,
Mullen and Walker were "off" in their
decisions long before some Of the other
teams did, but there was no relief until
some Of the pet teams in Pennsylvania be-
gan to howl. Then they got what they
wanted ~Tom" Walker got his release
this week. but Walker never handed out
decisions that needed deoderizing so much
as some Of the decisions of this man
Nallin at South Side Park this week The
game on Monday was prolonged to fouc'
teen innings simply through Nallin calling
a Lancaster man safe at second base when
nearly every patron fairly and impartially
would say the runner was tagged out a
yard from the base.
Nallin's decisions on balls AMI strikes
have been "on" with both teams but VIII
mington certainly has had the worse end
Of his judgments. If President Carpenter
in mindful Of the interests Of all The clubs
he should see that fair umpire is Sent
to Wilmington occasionally. All that Will
mington wants Is square deal. and let
the best club win. No rowdyism will be
tolerated The club is in last place and IL
fighting hard TO get out, but that job is
made all the more difficult by the dis
heartening faulty decisions Of umpires
And all this leads up to the question:
'What must the umpires do to Whining
ton in the Pennsylvania citiesT

BOYS MADE TROUBLE
FOR UMPIRE NALLIN

Umpire Nallin spent few uncomfort-
able minutes after the game at South Side
Park between Wilmington and Lancaster
yesterday afternoon. The crowd Of small
boys got after Nallin. and some Of them
threw pieces OF dirt and stones at MIN
after he left the grounds What was said
TO Nallin was decidedly unit for publica-
ton. Nallin first took Il as a joke, but
later saw the serious side OF It and backed
up against Walther's carriage shop, where
State Detective Harry l. Gillis and Deputy
Judge Harry p. Joslyn joined him. They
were accompanying him along the cause
way, with the crowd of hooting and jeer-
ing boys tagging along when Tho hack
containing the Lancaster players was
driven by Nallin was invited into that. RE
clambered into the vehicle and Detective
ellis rode on the rear step until the hack
reached the Clayton House.
It was the elimination Of two days of
decisions by Nallin that were far from
pleasing to the patrons at South Side
Park. In the third inning yesterday zollers
hit sharp ny over third base ana dashed
to second base. Nallin called ~ foul, but
many in the crowd thought it 10 be fair.
while others agreed with the umpire.
Nallin was roasted" to perfection by the
spectators. The Wilmington players also
protested Hartley, the local fielder, got
into a wordy wrangle with Nallln, and
some persons clamored for Hartley 10
Smash him" In tho exchange OF words
Hartley said he would see Nailin after
the ganie, but Nallln "saw him FIRST" by
benchns Hartley and hning him ten dol
lars. Nailin was away off on his balls and
strikes decisions through the game and
had both sides protesting. but he was
most unfavorable to Wilmington.
Owners Of the Wilmington baseball team
last night communicated with President
Carpenter OF the Tri-state League about
the work OF Umpire Nallin, and asked for
another umpire for to-day. This city has
been particularly unfortunate IN the unl-
