NELSON SOUGHT BY THE STAGE
Theatrical Offers Made to "Bat'-No
Arrangement for Third Bout.

San Francisco. July 6.-Battling Mel
son is complacently receiving offers for
theatrical tours at present, and seems
to have n good sized fortune in his
grasp. Various vaudeville circuits have
offered him large sums to work with
them and he probably will accept one
of the propositions. No steps have been
taken as yet toward a third match with
Cans.
Word was received today from Santa
Catalina, the island of San Pedro, the
harbor of Los Angeles, that Packie
Mcfarland and his manager Harry
Gilmore, has arrived there. Some talk
is current of matching Mcfarland and
4 Nelson for a ten-round bout at Mil
waukee or for a longer go at San
Francisco, but nothing definite has been
arranged. The report from McFar-
lands end says that he is bitterly sore
over the verdict.
No credit is placed in Ben Selig's re-
port that Cans overturned. The ma
jority here think that the veteran did
/ too little work He was supremely
confident before the battle, but went to
his corner at the end of the second
round shaking his head He said that
punches snet in with all his strength
did not effect Nelson.

SPORTING NOTES

into the lightweight class. Some time
back he issued a challenge to Cans,
asking for a go at 1873 ringside The
San Francisco man has practically
cleaned out the featherweight division
and is now seeking other worlds to
conquer. He seems to believe that he
can win with men heavier than him
self by simply keeping out of range.
Some surprise was expressed when
he made no stipulation about the length
of the match. 1t is conceded that he
can best the average man in the light
weight class in a short bout. through
his skill at sparring. He has made no
demand for a brief go, however.

HAND IT TO THE CUBS.

Injuries on the Cub team are plenty.
but to have an insult added yesterday
in the shape of a to defeat at the
hands of the tatl-end Brooklyns was
going too far. 1t wouldn't have hap
pened probably had Holman been able
to sacrifice in the ninth inning. with
men on first and second and none out.
Bay maybe Brooklyn was doomed to
grab the first game of the series
If the Cub hospital corps had been
allowed to play. they doubtless would
have made enough runs to take all the
fun out of the game The subs cracked
out twelve more or less lusty wops and
Brooklyn was on the ragged edgs at
the finish, but Bell. the third pitcher
used by Manager Donovan. was fresh
enough TO finish strong and the narrow
gap couldn't be plugged.
1t does beat the band the way the
champs get bunged up. They don't
seem to be more tender than other
athletes. but it's getting so that every
time one of the world heaters slides to
a bag somebody has got to run and
pick him up and run his leg until Doc
Semmens arrives to give some new
sprain an expert message.

WHITE SOx IN DOUBLE-HEADER

Two games will be played by the
White Sox this afternoon at Wash

proposition for the opening of the east

providing that games postponed from

possible moment during the second
trip makes the two games necessary.
On May 90 the Sox and Senators were
prevented from playing in Washing
