PACIFIC LEAGUE

The deciding game between the Salt
Lakes and the San Pedro Merchants in the
Pacific league was played at the Harbor
city park yesterday afternoon and was wit
messed by 400 fans, fully fifty going from
Los Angeles with the railroad boys. The
Merchants were defeated by score OF 2
to l. The features Of the game were Pet
rottPs home run In the second inning, Will
sons sacrifice hit allowing Mangerino 20
score. and Pedrottps hit allowing Sears to
score in the sixth inning. Henry Manger-
ina, catcher. was hit on the hand In the
sixth and the fingers badly mashed HIS

tell and equally as good general in
the ring. He would have an excellent
chance with Nelson over a short route
and might outpoint the champion over
the Thornton. In any circumstance,
however, the match will be a great
drawing card and will force Nelson to
be in his best form to retain the title.
A 45-round affair in a local ring
would be rather out of the ordinary
and quite a novelty to local fans, as
they have not witnessed any such long
fights, but they have sat through that
many rounds split up among several
bouts. With Nelson and Welsh going
over that distance and slight chance
that either would win inside of twenty
rounds, the battle would draw suffi-
ciently to justify the offer Long has
made.
Nelson undoubtedly will make re-
ply to Longs telegram this morning
and it is expected that he will accept
or make a counter proposition that
will be accepted by the club. If he
comes back with a proposition in rea-
son, the club will not allow the match
to slip away.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-09-28

Nelson had intended retiring, accord
ing to his own statements of a month
ago, but his reply to Long indicates
that he is not quite ready to quit the
ring and that he will defend his title
any time an of the lightweights want
to go over the Thornton" route, as
he terms the 45-round distance, and
the financial inducements are salts
factory.
The is per cent that the club will al
low him Is a bit in excess of the usual
champions 'bit," but Long wants to
land the match and Do it in hurry,
before the San Francisco sleepy-heads
get next, and he will not bubble with
Nelson over any reasonable terms.
Welsh firmly believes he can defeat
Nelson in a 25-round battle and has
the $4,000 ready to post as side bet
any time that distance is named But,
while he believes he can whip Nelson
at forty-five rounds, he will take no
long chances on his bank roll at that
distance.
Welsh is the cleverest lightweight in
the world. He also is as fast as At

seemed to want to take a nap, and it
is presumed that Bob did likewise.
Anyway, while speeding along Wash
ington street at regulation speed the
car came to a sudden stop, awakening
everybody. They found themselves in
an inclOsed but vacant lot, just a few
feet beyond a ditch four feet wide.
The car had left the street and run
across the pavement, through fence
and jumped the ditch before stopping.
The car was not injured in the least.
