BAT NELSON IS DUE
TOMORROW FOR !.
BRIEF VISIT
Champions Theatrical Engage.
menfs viii Keep Him Busy
for Months TO Come

After an absence of nearly six
months, Battling Nelson, the great
lightweight champion of the world. will
arrive tomorrow afternoon for brief
stay. The champion is due in San Jose
from Paso Robles springs this morning.
and after attending the wedding. Of a
bosom friend in the Garden. city he
will make haste for this city.
The champion will not be here long.
In fact, three or four days probably
Will be the. limit of his stay. There
lis. little likelihood OF his signing up
for a fight this time. though he will
unquestonably look the ground over
and probably agree upon some future
campaign in the local ring. He is in
no hurry to fight and he has, other
cares on his hands. =.
The Battler has been bit under the
weather for the last few weeks and
when he put into Los Angeles a few
days ago he was suffering from a se-
we're cold. and he found it necessary
to take to- the springs for relief A
two days stay there viii do him a.
world of good and put him in condition
to handshake all his old friends when
he arrives here.
HAS BUSINESS INTERESTS
The BattIer has various business in
terests which he is anxious to look
property near Livermore. He thinks. as
much if not more of this stretch of
land than any other of his vast hold
ings and his anxiety to look the pretty
ranch over probably did more to bring
him to the Pacific coast than anything
else.
Nelson has a IL weeks theatrical
contract to fulfil in New York, and as
this engagement opens up shortly he
will be forced to fee from our midst
without waste OF time. Bat looks for
busy season on the road. He is in
great demand throughout the country
and was forced to turn down several
fattering offers in order to keep his
New York date.
Il will look the lighting field over
and may possibly make some arrange
ments for the future" writes the cham
pion, but 1 will not be prepared to
sign up with anybody at the present
time. My theatrical dates and my book
have me pretty well tied up. There is
plenty of time to talk fight in the
future. and will be ready for them
there"
GUARANTEES GILLIGAN
With Nelson is Joe GilIgan. an east
ern lightweight boxer who has shown
lot of class of late. The Battler looks
upon Gilligan as one OF the coming
lightweight stars, and he is anxious to
see his protege get a chance in this
city. Nelson's recommendation is as
good an asset as Gilligan could desire
and should do a lot toward securing a
go for him.
Gilligan probably will be willing to
meet Maurice Sayers or any OF the
lightweights who are cIamorine for
action. The North End club people
think very well of him and it is barely
possible that they viii match him
against some good man for the coming
month At. all events. GiIligan shouId
prove worthy of a trial as Nelson guar
antees him.

-VAMPS AND ROVERS
START SERIES
FOR CUP
Fast Soccer Teams Cfsah Today
in First Game for
Coveted Trophy
By Bob Shand

The first regular round OF the cup
competition will be played this after
noon, and one of the sweetest looking
contests of the season is down on the
card. This is the game between the
Vampires and Albion Rovers. and is
scheduled to take place at Freeman s
park. Oakland.
1t is a strange fact that no matter
how much the personnel OF the teams
may change, there is always a thrilling
contest when the Bats tackle the Ma
rooms and this has been the order of
things since the first meeting of the
clubs more than seven years ago. The
teams were rivals when the league was
organized, and have been fighting ever
since
1t was the consensus OF opinion that
the game last week was as clever an
exhibition of the old country play as
the fans have yet seen. AS there is
even more at stake in today's game 1t
should be fast and furious.
MAY TIE WITH THISTLES
BY losing last week the vamps. will,
in all probability, finish their league
schedule with the same number OF
points as the Thistles. The Scots are
at present two points behind the lead
ders, with one more game to be played
against the Hornets. On form, II should
be no trick for Tom Woods boys to
take Pomeroys men into camp, and
then there will be a battle royal for
the bunting. The Vampires have been
struggling for six years to capture the
league honors. but. although always
making a creditable showing, Showeu
has never been able to get the rag.
The Vamps have an even chance this
year, however, and if they take fall
out of the doughty Scots from San
Mateo the flag will be hoisted at the
Alameda grounds next season.
:; Although the Rovers are far from
the top OF the league table, the major
.ity- of the fans look for Jesse Moore's
bunch to take the Vampires into camp
today without much of struggle: This
opinion is prompted by the outcome of
last weeks game, when the Maroons
got away with the long end of a 3
to l score, and that apparently with
out half trying. The yamps on that
occasion did not appear to belong in
the same class with the Rovers, and
there was not department of the game
in which the Albions did not excel
The Rovers suffered a great deal
their players being injured.
arid this accounts for the low standing
The San Francisco call., 1909-02-28

of the team in the lea que. but with
the full strength of the club to draw
upon now there are many who consider
the Oakland bunch sure winners of the
cup.
The Vampires do not seem to be
playing the game they did in the early
part of the season, and some of the
players act as though they had trained
on and had gone stale. The defense
is all right, but there is lack of
harmony among the forwards. The
lads do not seem to get together like
they used to do. every man sinking
his individuality for the general good
of the club. Some of the forwards at
tempt the individual game. and many
good opportunities to score were lost
that way in the game against the
Rovers. Then the management seems
to have committed a mistake in placing
Mckenzie on the right wing. The big
forward belongs in the center forward
position, and ii is as a pivot that he
has always been OF the most good to
the various clubs he has played for.
McKiernon had Mckenzie completely
bottled up last week, and the Rover
left half seems to have solved the
vampire Hdn style. SinBer can not
distribute the play and would do bet
ter on the wing.
The game at San Mateo between the
Burns and San Franciscos promises to
be warm affair of the slambang or
der. Neither club ever made any pre-
tensions to cleverness, but both have
gained regulations for plucky uphill
fighting. The Burns hold the cup at
present. and the management is con
fdent of retaining the trophy for an
other year.
