At first the Renault, of French con-

change his mind. Now it is said this

SOX MINUS ONE

nary ball playing behind the versatile
Sox HEAVIER would have boiled down De-

1t really was a shame to treat Smithy

pitched a jim crickety game, tanning

Moreover, he fielded and batted with

NELSON Will FIGHT THOMPSON
SO ROUNDS At COLMA JULY 5
Champion Reiterates Mcfarland Must Wait Till Sept
for Chance at the Championship Dane Is
After the Mazuma

Battling Nelson sprung a surprise
yesterday on his return from short
theatrical tour in the east when he an
nounced that he positively would fight
Johnny Thompson July at Colma in
stead Of Packey Mcfarland. The Dane
declared that Packey would be taken
on Sept. 9, but that the latter would
have to consent to a few changes in
the original articles for the fight.
Thompson and Nelson have agreed on
terms for the go, according to the light
ght champion. and the articles for
the fight probably will be signed today,
as Nelson starts for san Francisco to-
morrow to begin training for his forty
Ave round bout with Hyland, which. aft
er many changes in the date. has been
set for May %.
Bout VIII be Unique.
The Thompson-Ne Nelson go will be the
most unique bout ever tagged Each has
great respect for the endurance of the
other. and, for that reason, they have
decided to battle ninety -nine three
minute rounds. This will be the long
est limited round bout ever staged, and
both men are confident that they will
be on their feet at the end. Suppos
ing it goes the limit. what VIII the YER
dict be? An official who would give
anything but draw decision probab-
" would never oficiate at another
fight.
Nelson declares that Coffroth has
agreed on terms for the go. The cham
pion does not think that he will ex-
perience any trouble in having Cyclone
Johnny substituted for Packey.
While Nelson is to be censured for
throwing down Mcfarland after agree
ing on terms for a fight July and
signing articles. he is to be admired
for his business acumen. He claims
that he will make $4,000 by changing
the dates.
You see. it is this way" said tn,
Dane. II I fought Mcfarland July
and beat him, as certainly would. PEG

PLAYERS 100000
AHEAD At PIMLICO
Eddie Dugan, Only Jockey
of Glass at Baltimore,
Rewards Backers,

Baltimore, Md, May 3.-With racing
now in full swing at Pimlico it is evil
dent to all TURTLES that the jockey sit
uation is in bad state. There are any
number of embryo pigskin stars wear
ing silks here, but the fact remains,
nevertheless, that the only real live rid
er IS little Eddie Dugan.
This clever reckless lad, who was
given his congo in England a few
weeks age is kingpin here and no mat
ter what kind of a horse he rides there
is always plenty Of support
This acts in a way as a double edged
sword to the players. While they are
assured OF getting a good ride for their
money they are paying heavily for the
privilege. as the layers quote about one
half of the real price against any of
Dugan's mounts.

$4,000 for licking Thompson and then
Mcfarland and 1 viii be the greatest
card ever.
Packey Would Draw Well.
"A fight with Packey Sept. 9 will
draw an immense house, and, after I
lick him. Til be in great demand for
theatrical work | have signed for
eight weeks at 81, $50 a week and have
been promised eight more on a per-
centage.
Now tell Mcfarland that I'll fight
him Sept provided he agrees to bet
1000 and weigh in at 1913 pounds four
hours before the fight instead Of six
hours. as was the original agreement.
If he does not accept these terms I'll
make him make ringside weight for
me-"
While Nelson declares that his rea-
sons for substituting Thompson for
Packey for the July date are the In
creased financial gain and certain
statements made by Gilmore and Nc
Farland about him, the real reason, no
doubt, is that the champion realizes he
made a poor match with Mcfarland.
When he agreed to let Packey weigh
in at 13S eight hours before the fight
he was bargaining to fight weller
weight instead of a lightweight, as
Mcfarland, under such conditions
would come into the ring weighing
about 139 or 14O. The champion made
a mistake and he is going to profit by
it. while Packey being the challenger
is going to lose the first chance at the
championship.
Packey VIII Demand July Date.
Harry Gilmore Jr.. when seen last
night declared he would see Nelson to-
day and try to get back the July {
date for Mcfarland
Nelson is simply afraid to keep the
date" said Gilmore. He realizes thai
he made a bad match and is crawling
out Of it. He ought TO be ashamed Of
himself He is old enough to know his
own mind, but evidently does not, a:
his actions show. Wen give him tn,
$4,000 bet If he'll keep his agreemen
and fight Packey July at 1913 pounds
six hours before the bout"

CUBS DROP TWO

Weird battery work, and a seven
minute spasm by Reulbach, lost two
games for the Cubs yesterday and
dropped them out of first place into
fifth position with a thud that was
heard all over the land. and which was
strong enough to almost cause an
earthquake in Pittsburg.
Moran's bad catching, coupled with
the wildness OF Overall in the first in
ming gave the Pirates the decision in
the opening game by a score of to
2, Pittsburg having all the luck But
there was no luck about the second, for
Reulbach threw it away in the first
inning. He passed two men, hit one,
allowed six to steal bases, and then two
solid drives put the result beyond
doubt.
