JACK CLIFFORD WILL
FIGHT BAT NELSON
Sporting World Has Its Eyes Focused
On the Lightweight Contest to be
Pulled Off In Oklahoma City.

OKLAHOMA, CITY, Okla. June 21-
Eyes of pugilistic followers all over
this country are turned toward Okla
homa City today, in anticipation OF
the battle between Battling Nelson
lightweight champion of the world
and Jack Clifford alleged to be the
worlds hardest hitting lightweight
which will be staged in the new state
metropolis tomorrow night. The con-
test will be held in the Auditorium
and the big theater will doubtless be
filled to its extreme capacity of 1000
Choice seats are already selling at q
premium, and it is likely that the de-
mand for tickets will far exceed the
supply.
William Guernsey, who has pro-
NOTED many big matches in New York
and Utah is in charge of the Nelson
Clifford fight. Nelson will receive
$500 win, lose or draw Clifford's
share will be considerably less.
The match was secured only after
long correspondence. Guernsey felt
that there was sufficient interest in
Oklahoma City to support the con-
test and he spent a considerable time
in securing a good opponent for the
champion. Clifford presented one oil
the most likely men in the lightweight
class and he is in good condition as
ne has been boxing on the coast fol
the past several months. He has met
Nelson on one previous occasion, los

HENRI SAMPSON OUT AFTER
HoNoRs IN THE FLYING
MACHINE BUSINESS.
Novel Craft Is Compact, Has No Hori-
zontal Rudders, and Can be
Easily Controlled.

CITY OF MEXICO, June 21-Mexi-
co will have its share in the conquest of
the air if the new aeroplane invented
by Henri Samson, which embraces
entirely new ideas in aerial naviga-
ton, is a success. Needles of the ma
chine have already been thoroughly
tested and have worked perfectly. and
the construction Of a full-size ma
chine will soon be under way
The claims of superiority made for
the new aerial craft are extreme com
pactness, elimination of horizontal
rudders, ability of the navigator to
control its verticle course mechanical
ly by simply carrying the center OF
gravity, such construction as to per-
nit of the ships being made in any
size, and a mechanism by which its
course is changed automatically.
Upon the contamination of pending
financial plans the Mexican inventor
will start building of his aeroplane in

RECTOR MAY RUN At
SEATTLE EXPOSITION
Martin and Nelson May Have oppo-

A. A. U. Championship
Meet.

SEATTLE, June 21.-Jim Rector,
the great University of Virginia sprin-
ter who has beaten everybody in
America of promise, may be entered in
the big amateur Athletic union meet
of America at the stadium of the Alas
ka-Yukon exposition in August.
Although the great sprinter has
announced that he will not run again,
great pressure is being brought to
bear on him to induce him to enter
and from present indications he will
compete with one of the eastern teams
at the meet William H. Inglis, direc-
tor of athletics at the Exposition has
taken active steps to induce Rector to
change his mind.
J. E. Sullivan, president of the A.
A. u, has taken the matter up per-
sonally and has written to Rector to
induce him to compete. Rector who
is generally conceded to be the great
the greatest drawing card ever known
to northwest athletics.
Rector in the Olympic games IN
London, was counted on to win the
dashes but met a surprise in Walker,
the great South African sprinter.
A race between Nelson of Washing
ton State college, who is credited with
a record of 9 3-5 seconds, and the great
Virginian athlete would be welcomed
by the Northwest sporting world. Mel
son is conceded to be one of the fast-
est men in the United States and he
would undoubtedly press the famous

BROOKLYN, June 21.-One of the
greatest finds of the season is Edgar
Lennox, the star youngster who holds
down third sack for the Brooklyn Ma
tionals. Since his debut into fast
company Lennox has been batting at
a great clip, and is at present lead
ing his teammates with a percentage
of 1886. He holds down third corner in
first class style Lennox covers a lot
of ground, is fast on bunt hits and
besides, throws like a rifle shot to
bases. He is also one of the best base
runners in the older organization.

MEXICAN INVENTS
A NEW AREOPLANF

Paris, the first ship to be of size suf-
ficient to accommodate two passen-
gers. However, the maiden voyage
will be made by Samson, alone, who
insists on risking no other neck than
his own in the first venture, but is
willing to prove his faith by such in
dividual risk
The original trial flight will be
made in France only for the reason
that the science of aerial navigation
is further advanced there than in
other countries and that as a result
there are facilities there for prompt
repairs which might require months
elsewhere.
Samson, of French parentage, has
spent practically his whole life in
Mexico and to this republic will belong
the glory in the event his aeroplane
proves the success he predicts. For
years he has been working on this in
vention, collaborating with his brother,
also an inventor, who lives in Paris
and has made fame fame and fortune
by the perfecting of several devises
purchased for use in the French army.
The two brothers have kept in con-
slant touch by cable, mail and steam

| result is an air sailing craft for which
are forecasted future performances
! more marvellous than any previous
achievements.

The season just past has been no
table in northwest track athletics. New
men have been developed who were
rnheard of prior to the opening of this
season. 1t is an interesting fact that
some of the most remarkable records
were made not by the old timers, but
by men who are new to collegiate atm
letics. Possibly the man who STANDS
out most conspicuously is Nelson OF
Washington State college, who has
been credited with marvellous speed
performances on the cinder path this
wear. He has placed himself on the
honor roll as the championship holder
in three events. This is most re-
markable achievement and indicates
that Nelson is far beyond the ordl-
nary as a Splinter.
He has been credited with the sensa-
tional time of 9 s. 8 in the century; Il
1-5 in thief urlollg, and SO 10 In the
quarter. The two last named recoi .
are accepted generally but it is rather
difficult to believe and most sport fol-
lowers will fail to be convinced that
Nelson succeeded in making the hun
dred in 3-5, worlds record time. The
conditions under which he made TINS
time are such that it could hardly De

run was made in the Whitman-W. >

team of any section interested in track
sport. 1t is interesting to compare
the records made in the northwest

at Chicago such teams as Winconsin,

On the basis of records made by the
best of the northwest athletes. ii
seems reasonable to assume that We
would hold our own if the best of our
men competed against the best Of
theirs. 1t must also be taken into con-
sideration that five of the first places
won at Chicago in the conference
track meet, and pit our best athletes
against their champions and the north
west would come out victorious. Even
with Stanford in the meet, the records
show that we would get an even break.
How We Would Shape.
Starting at the beginning Nelson of
w. S C. would win the 100 and 22O.
Bergman of o. A C. would win the
high and low hurdles. Nelson would
come in again and take the quarter,
while COOL, his teammate, has shown
form that would justify us in assum-
ing that he would win the mile. The
two-mile run would go to the oppo-
nents as would the shot put and the
half mile. but we would come in strong
again I'm the hammer, as Haps throw
of something over 40 feet is better
than 1873 made by Crawford of Stan
ford. The discus throw would go to the
EASTERN athletes, as would the high
Jump and the pole vault, while Put
nam of w. S C. has a record Of three
quarters of an inch better in the broad
jump than the best made by any atfl-
lete at Chicago.
On this basis of figuring the north
west by winning the 100, 220, both hur-
dies, quarter, mile, hammer and broad
Jump would win the meet by taking
eight points to their rivals six. This
is a pretty clear indication Of the CALI
Tier of northwest collegiate sport.

group of colleges comprising from

Record Should Not Stand.

Anyone knows who has followed
| track athletics for any length of time
| that it is infinitely easier to catch
| time fast than it is to catch time slow,
and while a man may be absolutely
| honest and earnest in his endeavor to
see that his "clocking" is correct, he
cannot help a subconscious prejudice
| in favor of a runner who is team
mate or a friend. Doubtless Timblin,
Wexler and McCausland were over
anxious to see a worlds record made.
And then again, 1t is so absolutely
easy to make an error Of fifth or
two-fifths of second and it is so easy
| to have a watch that is not accurate
that really this record should not
stand
Nelson proved to be remarkably
fast man when he ran his hundred In
Seattle in 10 seconds, and there IS lit
| tie doubt that he is a fast, consistent
10-second performer with possible
94-5 when occasion and conditions are
ideal.
