Big CROWD WAITING TO SEE JOE CANS
BATTLING NELSON Fight AT FRISCO

Day, 1906, when Nelson lost on a foul
in the forty-second round.
The bout is set for forty-hve rounds
and the men are to weigh 1873 pounds,
The principals will enter the ring at
3 O'Clock &C p. m. Eastern time).
In spite of the fact that pretty close
to $4,000 was expended by spectators
who witnessed the Attell-Moran go OF
Monday, it is likely that a tremendous
house will see today,s battle. Interest
ms far higher than IN the feather
weight contest of Labor Day.
There. is just II point where a
matter of doubt exists; this is the
condition of Cans n h peculiar
state of betting affairs. The men whc
used to get down heavily in the days
of the old eight trust regime are
backing Cans whenever they can get
their money covered. But to the time
of writing comparatively small sums
have been wagered.
A few bets of 500 have been re-
corded. but no general play mas yet
developed. There is quite a flow of
money on Cans in Tom Corbett's pool
room, but the general opinion is that
the odds of 10 to 7. with Nelson ia
vorite, will not long prevail. Some

DAN PATCH PAGES A
MILE AT DETROIT IN 1853 3-4.

DETROIT, Sept. 9.-Dan Patch yes
terday at the State Fair failed to break
his record OF 1:55, but made the mile in
1854.
1t is the fastest mile ever driven in
Michigan.
The famous PAGER would undoubtedly
bave come much nearer making a new
record if the crowd from the infield had
not swarmed on the track, compelling
Driver Hersey to keep far out from the
fence.
Probably 5000 people stood on the
track when the fast mile was finished.
Dan Patch was paced by two runners
and the time by quarters was as fol-
lows: 0:30, 100, 1929 and 1854.
The track was fast and Dan Patch
had two workouts on the track before
being brought out about 4:30 p. III. for
his trial against the record. He was
received with great enthusiasm at
every appearance before the crowded
grand stand.

DOYLE'S INJURY MAY
SPOIL GIANTS CHANCES.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.--Larry Doyle,
the Giants second baseman, was badly
spiked In the game with Brooklyn yes
terday, and, as a result, may be out OF
the game for the rest of the season
Doyle was taking a throw from Devliil
and retired Hunmell when he was hurt
Hummell came racing down to second,
and, seeing that he was liable to gel
put out, slid feet first for the bag
Doyle took the throw and put his mar
out, but HummelTs spikes caught him
in the calf of the leg. tearing a cash
two and a half inches long and half
an inch deep. The loss of Doyle at this
time would be a severe blow to the
Giants. and may possibly result in the
loss of the pennant to the New York
team. Doyle has been playing a great
game at second and has been batting
like q demon.

PASSENGERS IN PERIL.
Colorado Midland Train Narrowly Es-
capes Fearful Disaster.

Denver.-One of the most remark
able and narrow escapes from rail-
road catastrophe ever recorded in this
state, which probably would have
eclipsed in horror any in the history
of Colorado railroad wrecks, had it
happened, occurred at 3 o'clock in the
evening of February 18th, on the west
bound Colorado Midland road as train
No. 5 was rounding the famous He'll
Gate between Busk and Ivanhoe.
Only the presence of mind of S. B.
Hopkins, Rock Island tourist man
ager. who was on board, prevented the
train from leaping the track at He'll
Gate and falling into the canon below
with its nine coaches of passengers.
w. r. Armor, former Denver man,
now of Salt Lake, who was on board,
tells the story. The engineer stepped
out of his cab for moment on the run
ming board of the engine to examine
something. The cab door blew shut
behind him. and the fireman, who had
not seen him go out thought he had
lost control of the engine and jumped
to save his life. He became frightened
and leaped from the cab himself. The
engine was running down heavy
grade and in few moments had
gained a frightful speed.
Mr.. Hopkins was in one Of the Pull
mans and, noticing the unusual speed,
realized that something was wrong. He
seized the emergency brake and pulled
hard, bringing the train TO a sudden
stop just as it was rounding into He'll
Gate, where the chasm is 1000 feet
down.
The engineer was found upon the
engine, but the fireman was missing.
The passengers instituted search for
him and after an hours hunting he
was found far back along the track
with both legs broken and otherwise
so injured that he was still uncon-
scious when removed from the train
to a hospital in Glenwood Springs.
The passengers We're so grateful
that they sent a letter to the Rock
Island headquarters at Chicago. COM
