BIG OFFERS FOR THE DANE.
Harry Edwards to Give Nelson SIC, 900
for is Minutes Work

Boston, Oct. 27.-Battling Nelson,
lightweight champion of the world,
real estate dealer, mine operator,
ranchman and few other things, ar
rived here with nine trunks. He will
appear this week at one of the local
theaters and it is said that he is to
receive the largest salary ever paid
a prize fighter in the east.
On his arrival at the South sta
ton, the Durable Dane was met by
an army of newspaper men and, judg-
ing from his talk, he is not bothering
much, whether he will ever fight
again. Nelson produced a bunch of
kilograms offering all sums of money
to box. Among them was one from
Harry. Edwards, the owner of the Ma
tional club of Philadelphia, offering
$4,000 and expenses for eighteen
minutes work. Nelson stated that he
thought highly of the proposition
and would like to accommodate him,
but that he was tied up with so much
business that he had to pass it up.
Sam Langford, who fights Philadel-
phia Jack O'Brien in New York on
October 80, will leave for the scene
of battle Tuesday night. HE is re-
ported to be in the best shape of ibis
career. and already practically down
to the required weight, $50 pounds.

BURNS TALKS OF $4,000.
New Tip on the Division of the Purse
in FIGHT With johnson.

San Francisco, Oct. 27.-Tommy
Burns has sent the following cable to
his manager, Billy Neail, who is I'M
able to join him in Australia because
he is believed to be at the point of
death:
.'BilIy Neail, Monrovia. Cal, U S.
o.: johnson end $4,000 and ex-
penses My end, $4,000, win, lose, or
draw. Fighting my last battle Decem-
Der 1. Come sure. Rules same as
outlined. TOMMY BURNS"
Neail explains that rules same as
outlined means:
THAT it is to be a 16-foot ring fight
to a finish. Men to fight themselves
loose-fght at all times. Either can
use fingerless kid gloves or soft
bandages next to hand, but not both. "
Writing to other things, Neil says:
s'Too bad Ketchel got beat. Twenty
thousand dollars sure and easy money
gone for Tommy. All Tom had to do
was climb through the ropes-one
punch-and out the other side.
Papke will win again from Ketchel
Thanksgiving day. I know Papke
and Jones. his manager. They are
both fine fellows-too good for the
fighting game"
Burnss cable shows that there has
been some tall bluffing somewhere
sort of a "nigger in the woodp1le, as
the old saying has it. Mr.. Fitzpatrick,
who handles johnson, gave out before
leaving England that the terms were
go per cent to winner and 40 per
cent to loser" This statement was a
joke to every one who had heard
Tommy's terms when johnson begged
for a match before.

PAPKEs BIG INDICTMENT.
The Thunderbolt to Get $4,000, Win,
Lose or Draw With Ketchcl.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Billy Papke, the
Illinois thunderbolt, and middle
weight champion of the world, is to
receive $4,000, win, lose or draw, for
meeting Stanley Ketchel third time.
Jack Gleason, of San Francisco, who
is promoting the show on Thanks
giving day, is giving Papke these in
ducements. Papke and Ketchel are
good drawing cards, but a club Is
forced to go some to make ends meet
when they offer purses of that size.
Both Jimmy Coffroth, of the Colma
club, and Jack Gleason of the Occi-
dental club, of San Francisco, were
bidding for the battle. Coffroth Of
fered Papke $1,000 as his end of the
purse, and Gleason raised him $1,000.
gave the principals the privilege of
dividing so per cent of the gross re-
ceipts of the show, 60 per cent to the
winner and 40 per cent to the loser,
with 20 per cent bonus to Papke.
Papke went to Chicago Monday
from his home at Kewanee, where he
has been doing light training work,
and left for San Francisco the same
night. The "thunderbolt" is in good
condition, and will not have to do
much hard work to get in fighting trim.

DREYFUSS MAKES SURE.
Pittsburg Ball Magnate Takes No
Chances of Invasion

Pittsburg, Oct. killarney Drey-
fuss, owner of the Pittsburg baseball
club, who has just paid 100000 for a
new ball park site in the heart of
Pittsburg, has decided that he will not
take any chance on the American as
ISOLATION or any other league breaking
into Pittsburg, and in order to be on
the safe side will continue to hold Ex-
position park on the North side, paying
the full rental, as long as there is any
chance of an unfriendly league coming
here. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
which owns Exposition park, has an
nounced that it wants to build round
house on the land, and will begin work
in the spring. Barney has decided
that he will see the ground broken be-
fore he will let go his hold.
1t is known now that the American
association is anxious to come into
Pittsburg, and that there are many in
Pittsburg anxious to see Dreyfuss
have opposition. The fight made
against the Pittsburg ball club in the
Pittsburg councils last spring, when
an attempt was made to raise the daily
license to $75. showed the club owners
that there was danger here. 1t has
not been long since President O'Brien
of the American association was offer
ed a ball park and guaranteed $780,
900 to break in here.

BREsNAHAN MAKES DENIAL.
Roger Declares He Will Not Manage
the st. Louis Cardinals.

Toledo, O., Oct. 27-Despite all re-
ports to the contrary, Roger Bresna-
han, the crack catcher of the New
York Giants, will not be the new man
ager for the St. Louis Cardinals the
coming season. Rumors to the effect
that negotiations were pending be-
tween Bresnahan and the ST. Louis
baseball magnates of the National
league were rife here, but all were set
aside upon the arrival home of Bres-
nahan for the winter
'I have received no offer from the
ST. Louis Nationals to manage their
club for next season, and expect none.
While 1 admire Mr.. Robson very
much, I am perfectly satisfied with my
berth with the Giants, and under no
conditions would 1 consider any offers
from any other club in the country.
Every season these rumors about my
going to manage some club are sprung
until am tired of it. AS long as 1 am
in baseball 1 expect to play with the
Giants. The ST. Louis rumors have no
foundation whatsoever

JAP, BARBEAU BARRED.
President Armour Would Not ALLOW
Him on Toledo Grounds.

Toledo, O., Oct. 27.-President Will
liam Armour of the local baseball
team added to his growing unpopu-

fused to lease the ball park for an all
Toledo professional game unless Jap"
Barbeaus be barred from the grounds.
Addie JOSS captained one team
against another captained by Roger

Toledo professionals. Barbeau was to
have played with Addie, but Armour
would not stand for it because of trou-

wrecked a mile south of Vineland be-
tween Ottawa and Lawrence Monday

only person badly injured. He was
thrown against the hrebox, suffering
severe burns. A. Mosely, a carpenter
of Lawrence, who was in the express
car at the time of the wreck, was

snapped. This caused the passenger
coach and two freight cars to be
thrown against the embankment
The passengers were hauled into
Lawrence in a box car. Traffic was
maintained on the branch during the
day by hauling people to the scene of
the wreck. where they walked to an
other train on the other side.

TO MANAGE DIES, MONIES.
Reported That Kid Gleason Will
Handle Boosters Next Season.

Des-Moines, Oct. 27.-It is reported
here that Kid Gleason. infielder of the
philadelphia league team, will man
age the Boosters next season in place
of Dexter, who had the management
of the, Des Moines team, last season.
Des Moines finished the seaScn at the
tail end, and it is thought that radical
changes will be made in the lineup.
The deposing of Manager Dexter in
favor of Gleason is the first of these
changes to be announced. Dexter will
probably be retained as a member of
the team and may act as business
manager, but the plan is to make
Gleason the playing manager.
