NELSON AND CANS SIGNED FOR
FINISH FIGHT ADMISSION DAY
TEX PICARD GETS THEM TO AC CEPT OFFER OF $4,000 PURSE
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP SCRAP BEFORE NEVADA CLUB
Dane $2oo VIM Lose Draw and Carries His Point
Regarding Weight ConditonsAn Other Terms Are Same
as Those Which Governed Their Fateful Battle Fourth
of alphabetically Assures McFarandWelsh
Return Match for Jeffries

In San Francisco for a late July date,
as he anticipates, but with the Attell-
Moran scrap on early In September ana
the Nelson-Gans affair due about the
same time, the San Francisco territory
is overcrowded with big fistic events
for the near future, and Packy will not
find it much trouble to make up his
mind to return to Los Angeles for d
Labor day engagement with Welsh.
Before leaving for the north last
evening Harry Gilmore, manager for
Packy, said that he thought 1t probable
that the McFarland-Welsh return
match would be fought in Los Angeles,
but he desired to go to San Francisco
to ascertain whether it would be pos
sible to get a scrap with Nelson. In
the event of failure to get that match
he would bring Packy back to Los
Angeles for the return match Labor
day.
Packy said before leaving that II he
returns to Los Angeles he will train
at the South Side Athletic club gym
nasium, but will take a cottage at one
of the beaches and settle down for
season by the seaside. He Is In no hurry
to return to Chicago and as long as he
can make money in the west he Will
stick around. Welsh is opposed to go
ing to San Francisco to fight McFar-
land, favoring Los Angeles above all
other cities because he has large cir
Gle of friends here, has been treated
fairly and is sure to attract a large
house any time he goes into the ring.
While the prospect for the return
match being fought in Los Angeles
was of doubtful nature yesterday after
noon, previous to the departure OF the
Chicago boy and his retinue, the news
of the Nelson-Gans match for Labor
day makes 1t appear more than prob
able that the boys will fight out their
differences Labor day in the Vernon
ring. The winner then can demand
championship battle with Nelson.

Unusually Interesting Afternoon Is
Passed by Devotees of the Club

LAY PLANS FOR
FALL ATHLETICS
GRAMMAR SCHOOL BOARD IS
MAKING CHANGES
ASSURE INCREASED ACTIVITIES
IN ALL LINES
Baseball, Basketball, Football, Track
Events and Swimming Contests
Among Branches Of Sports
Considered
BY RED PERKINS.

Although 1t is vacation time and
the students of grammar school grades
hive laid aside readin', writin' and
'rithmetic. Chairman w. w. Tritt and
Prof. Dolland, the other member Of the
grammar school athletic board, are
busy laying plans for fall athletics in
boys and girls baseball, tennis, Rugby
football and track events.
In former years baseball, both in the
boys and girls departments, were re-
stricted to city games, but the plans
now are to arrange a schedule OF games
with out of-town grammar schools IN
baseball, Rugby football and track
events, as we'll as indoor athletics.
Chairman Tritt is in favor Of starting
swimming championship contests the
latter part of the season, to be puileo
off under the A. A. U. rules, as there
is much good material available among
the students of the upper classes. Last
year the Thirtieth street school won
the grammar school track and baseball
CHAMPIONSHIPS, while the washington
street school captured the girls pas
ketball championship of Los Angeles.
Several of the running events ana
the pole vault will be omitted this sea
son. The 22O-yard dash, 440 and $50
yard runs of other seasons Will not De
scheduled. Another departure is an
nounced in that the students will not
be permitted to rattle" the opposing
slabster in baseball games. They must
be good little boys in every respect, ac-
cordlng to the decision of the grammar
school board.
Next season 1t is planned to DIVIDE
the respective schools in divisions, TO
be known as the first, second ana thiro
divisions. The girls baseball ana pas
ketball teams Will have a woman coacn
while in the gymnasium ana boys
baseball a physical director from the
east will be employed. Each principal
of the different institutions will be APP
pointed to direct the Rugby footpall
practice. The Echo park playground
will be used as the baseball field In the
f1rst division, the Thirtieth street
school grounds will be used by the sec
and division, and the Mckinley avenue
diamond has been allotted to the third
division.
All Football contests are to be played
on the Thirtieth street diamond on
wednesday and Friday afternoons. The
girls basketball games will be played
on the washington street, Main street
and Thirtieth street fields every MOI
day and Thursday afternoon.
In regard to the water sports matches
win be contested at Bimini baths Tor
bows over 10 years of age. Ben wat
linRton, who holds the Southern Cali
fornia swimming records for the lOO
and 220-yard dashes, will be selected 70
coach the boys in these events. wat

street school and is well known In local

carsev is a good entertainer while In
training as he puts his whole soul into
his work and the larrupings he gives
to his sparring partners is apsoiute
evidence that they are earning ther
money. He is working with boys much
heavier than himself, but finds 1t COM
paratively easy to outlook and outsius
them In their lightning work IN the
outdoor ring.
Before going on for the afternoon
workout he tipped the beam at lo4
pounds, which Is one pound more thdn

IA deceptive, the casual observer pc
inc Impressed with the idea that he
really weighs about 140 pounds. rms
IS accounted for in the fact that Carsey
IS broader than the average lightweight
of his size and his development IN the
body and shoulders is remarkably gooo'
After enjoying a good rest since MS
fight with Kid Dalton, he went INTO
training in excellent condition and, OF
course, will find no trouble in making
weight and putting himself into UP
top condition for his scrap with PM
Brock. Carsey is as much in earnest
as Brock regarding the result OF the
scrap, as 1t is to be of grudge nature
and there is more involved for them'
individually, than the glory OF winning
or the money involved. They want TO
urove to themselves which is the better
man and each is training as If his life
depended upon the result.
Brock has the most varied aggrega-
tion of sparring partners that any
fighter ever showed In this part of the
world. He has half a dozen local boys
working with him. all ring artists,
and they vary in weight from the BAN
tam to the heavyweight division. He
boxes with all of them and enjoys the
rough treatment they hand out to him,
getting great workouts and excellent
results theiefrom. He weighed 1877
mounds yesterday afternoon.
Next Saturday Is to be the big day
at his camp at Venice. He will box
fifteen rounds or more with such boys
as Danny Webster, Jimmy Austin,
Frank Picato and Billy Morris. He Is
training in the outdoor ring used by
Freddie Welsh and the Welshman has
about consented to assist him In his
workout next Sunday, Brock having
asked him to box five or more rounds
with him.

Yet No Takers, but Prospects for

cred Promising
By I. GEORGE rHoMpsoN.

who will race the White steamer
to Old Baldy?' Gasoline row and
particularly the White garage would
like to know
Col. f. C. Fenner has issued a chal-
lenge for race to the Fenner mine
for $1,000 SIDE. but up to the present
time there are no definite takers.
There has been some talk OF the
Gilmore picking up the gage, but there
is little probability that "Self-Starter"
Smith would drive again after the
painful experience he had the last time
he essayed the trip.
He is game to do the stunt, but Mrs.
Smith has put a decisive veto on his
driving. II, however, the Elmore is
the only competitor the same old White
runabout that went against 1t last year
will run again, but IL cars of higher
horse power, such as the Packard,
Thomas, Stearns or Locomobile, enter
for the run a higher powered White
will be entered.
In case another car than "Old Betsy
is used by Col. Fenner. 1t is probable
that he will take the thirty-horse
power car that was in the races at
Fresno recently.
Considerable repair work has been
done on the mountain grade and other
parts of the road that are controlled
by Fenner, and the proprietor Of the
White garage would like some good
sportsman to come forward and accept
the challenge.
There is, at least, one driver who
stands good chance OF competing sue
cessfully against the White, but that
man is busy selling cars, and race
under such circumstances is the last
thing he will consider. He has been
heard to say that he had great no.
tion to go against the White, and as
his car has demonstrated that it will
do the work that a White will do, and
since he is as proficient driver as
any in Los Angeles, the prospects for
race UP the mountain are not SO dim
after all.
Just little more rivalry and little
less necessity OF staying at his sales
room may persuade the unnamed
motorist to take up the challenge so
bravely sent forth by the present
holder of the record.
In regard to the San Diego run for
the Chanslor and Lyons cup, Fenner
says that he will send a car after the
record only when two or more have
cut down the time made by the Great
Smith.
when we go after the record again
we will set it as low as we can," said
Fenner, land then we will let it rest,
as we have other stunts in mind that
will prove more profitable to us than
the San Diego round trip"
1t has been reported that a Tourist
will go after Renton's record within
the next week or ten days, and Harvey
of the Rambler force intends to take a
try for 1t after he has placed his name
on the Nelson trophy by lowering the
time of the White between San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles

SAN FRANCISCO, July S.-After

Joe Cans and Bat Nelson for Septem-

The fight is TO be to a finish for

to Nelson and $4,000 to Cans
Roth men are to weigh 1873 pounds,
stripped, at ringside, and the same
conditions that prevailed at the last
fight will hold. That means that the
rsferee will not break them Rickard
is to post $4,000 in the National Bank
of Ely in ten days and the remainder
of the purse is to be deposited thirty
days before the fight. Nelson and
Cans, each, must put up $1,000 cash
within ten days and $4,000 each thirty
days before the fight. Ben Selig signed
for Cans and Willis Britt fer Nelson.
This bit of news comes as no big sur
prise to local fans, as Rickard is known
to have been dickering for a finish fight
between the champion and the former
champion for several days, despite that
Cans had announced that he is "all in

SENATOR TULLY SCOTT
HAS PUBLIC SERVICE BILL
Especial to The Sentinel. ]

Cripple Creek. Colo, Dec IL
Senator Tully Scott of this city is
drawing a public service bill which
will be introduced by him the first
thing in the 18th general assembly.
He proposes to take the three rail-
road commissioners elected at the re-
name two mere to serve until the
next election, making a commission
of five to have charge of railroads and
utility corporations and perhaps the
smelters, although the smelter aues-
tion may be dealt with in separate
measure.
He has taken the Hughes act of
New York as his model by which the
commission has control of the state
and transportation corporations in
New York.
In New York state there are two
mmissioners-ope for Greater New
York and the other for the state
outside The act now in force is
comprehensive. 1t gives the commits
sioners fun authority over all rail
roads in the state-steam, electric.
underground. elevated, surface and
horse car With the railroads the
commission has as much authority as
is conferred on the interstate COM
meroe commission over interstate
railroads. Each of the commission
ers is given general supervision of all
persons and corporations having au-
thcrity to maintain wires and pipes
for the distribution of electricity or
gas for lighting or heating purposes.

Wellington, Dec. 14.-After IL
years of service as head of the de-
partment. the secretary of agricul-
ture in his 18th annual report to the
president, issued today, renders n
comprehensive account of his stew
ardship and presents a review of the
progress of agriculture IN the United
States during this period. Concern
ing the farm production of 1908, he
says that the farmer has created
wealth by the billions. Production
has been above the average of recent
years with few exceptions; and, while
some prices have fallen, others have
risen.
The farm value of all farm prod
ucts of 1905 reaches the most eX-
traordinary total in the nations his
tory-s7. 100000. This is about
four times the value of the products
of the mines, Including mineral oils
and precious metals.
The farmer contributes 81 per cent
of the raw materials used in those
manufacturing industries which de-
