Fernleigh, the home of his second wife,
Mrs. Elizabeth Clark Potter. where he
has been critically i'll during the past four

SIGNS IN STREET PARK1NGs.
Question of Legality Referred to the
Corporation Counsel.

Corporation Counsel Thomas has been
requested by the District Commissioners
to furnish them u legal opinion regarding
the practice of placing a certain style OF
sign that has recently come in vogue on
parkings in front of stores There is q
growing tendency on the part of some of
the smaller merchants to place these new
style signs. which are of a triangular.
shape, in front of their places. and consid-
cradle annoyance has resulted from the
practice. The Commissioners have been
informed that some of these merchants
have refused to remove the signs when

termine whether such signs are covered
by the police regulations the Commission
ers have referred the matter to the cor
poration counsel.

BAT NELSON TO

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6.-Jimmy

Britt yesterday in which the boy man
ager assured the promoter that Nell
son is willing to fight Packey McFar-
land from him either on the afternoon
of Thanksgiving day or on the after
noon of New Years day, Brott's only
stipulation in the wore ne sent COT
froth was that he would prefer the
New Years date, as it would give Nell
son a better chance at some of the
fat theatrical plums that the managers
of the showhouses are pelting him
with.
Willis reports Nelson as doing a

he's the most decent fellow who ever
entered the prize fighting business.
Aside from his profession Nelson is a
good man. His instincts are good, and
| hope that with the prayers of the
conference he may be turned into the
paths of Righteousness"
Rev. Mr.. Dennis pointed out that If
Battling Nelson Joined the church as
the result of the efforts of the Rock
River conference, with his remarkable
tenacity of opinion and effort, he would
be one of the most tremendous fighters
in the ranks, and he had no doubt at
all that once Nelson declared himself
for temperance and Methodism the
whole town of Hagewisch would be
saved.

WANTS NELSON
To Il GHTWELSH

CHICAGO, Sept 2S.-Battling Nelson
Welsh in long distance fight before
Jim Jeffries' club at Los Angeles on
Thanksgiving eve. Jeffries wired to the
lightweight champion that he would
split so per cent of the receipts, to be
divided 60 and 40 per cent, and would
give the Battler a Is per cent bonus,
He also wire tnat Welsh would make
a side bet of IS, 900 on a 25 round fight,
but would like to go As rounds without
a side bet. Welsh added that he be-
lieve that he had a better chance to
win in 25 rounds, but was willing to
go As if Nelson insisted.
The Battler wired back that he would
not consider the offer unless he were
made a guarantee. Jeffries then wired
for Nelson's lowest figure, and Nelson
answered, asking Big Jim to make an
offer 1t is hardly likely that Nelson
will accept unless he is given a guar
antee of about $4,000. He says he
does not expect to make more than
$4,000 on the percentage basis pro-
posed by Jeffries.
Champion Nelson umpired thrte in
nings of a baseball game at Rogers
park yesterday and also boxed three
rounds with Joe Galligan. He opened
an engagement in the Trocadero after

LOSE FIRST PLACE
IN REMNANT RACE

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-By splitting
a double header with Philadelphia 10
day, while Chicago and Pittsburg were
winning in the west, New York relin-
ouished first place in the pennant race
and Chicago now leads by a single
noint with Pittsburg a close third. IN
the first game the locals had Mathew
son in the box, and, as they batted NC
CULLEN to good effect, .McGraws men
won handily by to 2. Bresnahan
and Doom collided at the plate i'll the
fifth inning and both had to retire
from the game, Bresnahan suffering
from a sprained ankle and Doom being
painfully but not seriously spiked. In
the second game Doom was back be-
hind the bat and played all through
the contest but Bresnahan had to give
up in the opening inning after reach
ing first base on a tumble. Wilson
ran for him and Needham took his
place behind the bat.
Donlin, who injured his leg yester-
day, was unable to play today, and
the absence Of Il two crippled the
home team badly le visitors found
Crandall very ca IN the sixth inn
ing and added five rounds to their
score before the side was retired.
Then Taylor went in to pitch for
New York and held Murrays men to
three hits and one run during the re-
mainder Of the game.
