Dane, However, Is Confident He
Will Beat Negro This
Time. .

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-If conf
dence counts for anything Joe Cans Is
as good as laid On the shelf. Battling
Nelson, who meets the negro light
weight master of ring mechanics here
on the afternoon of Independence Day,
has 1t all doped out. The Dane sees
nothing to it but himself, and II Bre'r
Joseph lasts twenty-five rounds the
Battler will be surprised. Strange as
1t nay seem, Nelson takes himself more
seriously than at any time in his career.
The Dane is, If anything, over-confi-
dent. He said:
Before l met Cans at Goldf1eld 1
own that I had some little doubts as to
whether l could lick him.. Before we
were warmed up in that fight l knew 1

"SULLy' SAYS

A MANLY LOT
Umpire, Denying He Has Been
Released, Praises New
ark Players.

Umpire Bill Sullivan dropped into
town yesterday and denied that he had
been released by President Powers.
"Sully" is through with umpiring in
the Eastern League, all right, but he
declared that he had received an offer
to work in the American Association
and that he had rendered his resigna-
ton here on June 25, that resignation
having been entirely voluntary. To back
his statement, the Rochester man dis.
played a telegram from President
Powers, wishing him luck in his new
field.
Sullivan umpired In Tuesdays
game at Providence and declared it was
a ase of tough luck that Newark
lost. Miller pitched a fine game, he
said, but the Grays were just fortunate
enough to place their hits beyond the
reach of the infielders INC too far in
for the outfielders, resulting In that
cluster of foul runs in the eighth inn
ing.
I've had some disagreeable times in
the Eastern League" said Sullivan.

There are nineteen men or the Tri-

Mccarthy, Trenton, is leading with

A new stunt in umpiring was pulled
off at Kansas City the other day. To-
ledo was playing there and it had been
agreed to end the game at $50. When
it came near $50 Toledo was ahead,

played. The Hens, of course, wanted to

batters bases on balls. When Mccarthy
saw that Swami was trying to pass him
he struck at the wide ones and struck
out. For striking at the wide ones UNI
pire Owens put Mccarthy out of the
game. 1t seems that the umpire
stretched his authority there somewhat.
