Back Of the signing of Britt is a
story that Berger preferred to match
Nelson, but the latter placed higher
valuation on his services than the Cali

The date of the fight was set for
March 81, TO give both boys all the
time available for training. The weight

Now that Nelson has lost the first
opportunity to meet Mcfarland he may

Britt. Nelson will undoubtedly be on
hand to challenge him.
Nelson was a different fighter Tues
day night to what he was when he lost
to Britt in the Auditorium in San Fran
cisco. He showed lot of speed, but
he surely did not put the same power
into his blows he did in his earlier
fights.
Britt was backing away throughout
the fight, and could never get set to
deliver punishing blow. He could
land on Nelson. but the latter only

Captain Mohler led the Seal squad
across the bay for practice yesterday
morning. The grounds at Freeman's S
park are still a bit sloppy, so the boys
could not show very much speed. How
ever, they worked out for several hours
and managed to warm up their stiff
wings and get their long dimmed eyes
on the sphere to fair advantage. They
will make the trip again today.
Jack Pendry, the man who has signed
for the Seal infeld several weeks ago,
may number among those not present
when the bell sounds the opening OF
the season. Long is still holding out
Pendry's transportation, and from the
tenor OF his remarks he does not need
the infelder very badly. Now that he
has MeArdle's contract safely tucked
away in his inside pocket, the Seal di-
rector general is not worrying about
filing up gap in the infield. Every
position on the team is occupied, so
Pendry may awaken soon to find that
he has been sold or released. He is at
present in Scranton, Pa.
McArdle and Catcher Louis Lalonge
are overdue, and Long is busy figuring
what has happened to them. Both men
took up their transportation more
than a week ago and should have ar
rived yesterday at the latest. If they
do not show by this afternoon Long
will organize searching party. He is
very anxious to use both men in the
series against the Chicago stars.
The army of expectant fans that
turns out at the ball park grows with
each day. Yesterday the right field
bleachers were well sprinkled with the
rail birds. They sat in the sun and
famed and grabbed, Just as ball cranks
always do. AS usual, old Doc Frest's
