BOXING NOTES.

BY being confident of winning, Mel
son cleaned up a good bit of money,
betting $500 on himself. He also re-
ceived nearly $4,000 as his share of the
receipts.
The Packey Mcfarland Freddie
Welsh bout at Vernon, Calf, drew
$l0,260 Mcfarland got his guarantee
of $4,000 and Welsh % per cent, which
amounted to $2565. The clubs end was
$685.,
Joe Cans says he does not intend to
retire, but is going after another bat
tie WITH Nelson. The ex-champion
feels that Nelson should give it to
him, as he gave Nelson another, after
the Goldfield battle, in which he beat
the Battler.
Peter Maher, Jr., son of the former
Irish champion, is making Il hit as Il
vaudeville performer. He assists his
mother, who is now 4 head-liner in the
leading vaudeville houses. and obey
have 4 very clever and entertaining
act.
Nelson still has feeling against his
old manager, Billy Nolan. and on every
occasion he shows it, After the battle
Saturday, he stated that his new man
ager, WilluS Britt, trained him better
than did Nolan, and that was the rea-
son he Won over Cans this time.
Aleck Mclean has received a cable
from the syndicate of Australian sport
ing men who had asked him to sign
some American boxers, informing him
that the amounts asked for by Jack
CTWi Sullivan and Marvin Hart We're
more than the syndicate would give
them. Mclean has stopped negotiating
with the boxers.
Boston Globe: The defeat of Joe Cans
will be a good thing for the boxing
game. He was considered invincible by
the W hit" lightweights. and they were
afraid to take a chance with him.
Though Nelson won over him, the
other lightweights figure that they
have some chance with him, and all
will try to get on match with the
new champion. Nelson is going to rest
few months and will then probably
meet Mcfarland.

phia Nationals, wants to break into
Northwestern League baseball as
magnate He also wants to make Spo.

Philadelphia team.
Louis W. Thiel of this city has re-
ceived a commission from the big
Lacquer to consummate the deal, if
possible.
Bransfield's idea is to make Spo-
kane the place from which the Phila-

cruits each year. This would be worked
through the agency of the Pennsylva-
MIA teams Middle Western recruiting
point For instance, when any North
western League team secured a man
with big league prospects he would be
sold OF drafted the next year to the
Middle Western station, and if he
made good there he would be sent d.

league.
Bransfield figures that by this meth

he would have no difficulty in secur-
ing new material for Philadelphia each
year, as he would he a BILE to strength

EASTERN YACHT CLUB
Leaves Linnekin Bay for Seal Harbor
on Penobscot Bay.

Linekin Bay. Me, July For the
first time in several years, the Eastern
Yacht Club fleet was able to get by
Boothbay without running into fog
bank, for today the yachts left here
for Seal Harbor at the western en-
trance of Penobscot bay, under clear
skies.
The cruise thus far has been I'M
usually successful, and many OF the
yachtsmen asCrbe the fact to the two
12-year- old maScots, r. w. E,mmons,
3rd, and young Reed Anthony. The
three runs have all been sailed under
favorable conditions, both as to wind
and weather, and the fleet has main
tanned it's numbers to an usual de-
gree.
In Linekin bay this morning there
were over 20 yachts gathered about the
flagship Gloriana and nearly all of
them joined in the days run. The COM
mittee gave the yachts 34-mie
course today, starting them off SPUR
rel Island and around Bantam's Leg
whistler, with the finish off Whitehead
light.
1t was believed before the yachts
started that the first leg would give
an opportunity for some Windward
work as was the case yesterday

D0n0van's ClaimFOr
Salary Is Rejected.

Cincinnati, Ohio, July TN rejecting
the claim of Player Jerry +. Donovan
for salary alleged to be due him from
the Philadelphia National League
Club, the National Baseball Commits
sion made u new rule in cases where
players make claim for salary provided
for in their major league contracts
when they are released to minor
league clubs.
The new rule provides that no major
league club has a right to release a
player at any time unless it gives him
u l6-days notice Of such release. If this
notice is given 10 days before the sea-
son commences the major league club
having title to the player need not pay
him any salary.
If the 10 days notice covers any part
of the playing season, then the major
league club releasing the player un-
conditionally must pay him for the
number of days such notice covers of
the playing season, and If the player
is released by a major league club TO Il
minor league club by sale or otherwise
the major league club will in such case
he required to pay the player the diff
ference in salary between 10 days pay
under his major league contract and
the amount the player could have
earned during the time had he report
ed promptly to the club securing his
services.
Donovan contended that he had sign
ed contract with Philadelphia for 1908
calling for $500 per month, and that at
the commencement of the season he
was released to the Johnstown Club of
the Tri- State League and that The lat
ter club offered him q contract calling
for only 500, which contract was un-
satisfactory to him. and therefore he
did not report to the JohnstOWn club.
He requested that the Philadelphia
club be required to pay him his sal
airy or else give him his unconditional
release.
The players claim was rejected be-
cause the committee only had his
statement that he signed a contract,
while the Philadelphia club stated
positively that he did not sign con-
tract nor was one received by Presi-
dent Pulliam of the National League.

~ lEPPE, July THE efforts of w
*. Vanderbilt, Jr. and A. G.
- Bachelor. representing the Amer
Jean Automobile Association, to induce
the international committee of recog-
niZel automobile clubs to reverse the
action recently taken in Paris, involv-
ing the disqualification of any French
automobile constructor who partici-
pates in the Vanderbilt cup race, has
ended in failure. The committee has
ratified the action of the sporting COM
mittee of the Auto Club of France in
supporting the Automobile Club of
America in its fight against the Amerl-
can Automobile Association, under
whose auspices the Vanderbilt cup race
is to he run.
ID. Morris, the special representa-
tive OF the Automobile Club of Amer
lea, was present at the meeting of the
international committee to contest the
question and was accompanied by w.
s. Hogan and George Heath, the lat
ter one of the drivers in the grand
prix today. Neither Mr.. Vanderbilt nor
Mr. Batchelder was admitted to the
meeting.
Count Adalbert Sierstorpff, president
of the German Automobile Club pre-
scented the case on behalf of the
American Automobile Association,
which, briefly, was that this associa-
ton is the larger and more powerful
organization, and, in addition, never
had been properly notified of the adop-
ticn of the Ostend rules under which
the races of the Auto Club of Ameri-
ca will be run and which do not gov
ern the Vanderbilt cup races. The dis
cusson was heated, but in the end the
committee practically was unanimous
in the decision that it would be i'm
possible to recognize more than one
club in any country or have more than
one set of rules to govern internatiOn-
a. races
Harquis Ferrarro, president of the
Italian club, pointed out that situa-
ton similar to that in the United
States existed in Italy and he was con-
fdent that the position Of the inter-
national committee would result In
harmony The members united in ex-
pressing the hope that all would see
the wisdom of establishing an inter-
national standing through a club.
The committee was greatly pleased
at the letter of GOOD wishes from Pres
ident Roosevelt which was transmitted
through Judge Gary to Baron de Zuy-
lon. The latter said that an appropri-
ate reply would be sent to President
Roosevelt through NJ. Pichon.

wind, weather, sea and tide favored
the boats of the Eastern Yacht Club
as they continued today on the annual

LEWIS AND DONOVAN
TO CLASH FRIDAY NIGHT.

New York, July 7.-Willie Lewis will
be given stiff tryout for his fight
with Bill Paple when he tackles Mike
Donovan of Rochester,, at the Roman
A C. on Friday night. Donovan is one
of the toughest Welters in the country
and has yet to be sent down for the.
full count, although he has given such
men as harry Lewis, Joe Walcott, Joe
Thomas and Jack Blackburn their
hardest fights. This will be the second
time that Lewis and Donovan have
met. They fought a furious six-round
draw at Schenectady the week before
Lewis sailed for France, and it will be
interesting to note how much Lewis
has improved since that fight.

German Aut0ists Capture
1908 Honors at Dieppe Track.

Dieppe, July Almost 1000 900 per-
sons today saw the German drivers
capture the automobile honors of 1908.
They got the first three places in the
Grand PriX race, while another Ger
man cut down the Dieppe track rec
ord by l hour and As minutes.
The race was the most exciting since
the Grand Prix was inaugurated. A
terrific pace was set at the start and
three Frcnchmen, Szisz, Thery and
Bablet and Wagner, an Italian, and
Salzer, a German, beat the lap record
made last year in the first round. In
the second round Navarro, driving a
Fiat, forged to the lead. Tire trouble
then developed and strong wind that
blew straight in the faces of the
drivers as they came down the sea
leg of the triangular course forced a
reduction of the pace and put an end
to the hopes entertained earlier in the
day that the record of last year would
be broken.

steadily and took the lead in the fourth
round when Navarro dropped back

maintained this position to the finish.
