Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
STOCKTON, Nov. 30.-Owing to the
cold, threatening weather only small
crowd of fans turned out at Oak park
this afternoon. Connie Mack did not
regard the small gate receipts worth
playing for and the second game be-
tween the All Nationals and the Phila-
delphia Athletics was called of.
While in this city Mack quietly nosed
about for players and it is possible
that he may try out some State league
talent next year. The Philadelphia
magnate made particular inquiries as
to Eddie Hallinan. the st. Mary's boy
who did such good work in the infieid
for Stockton, this year; Tracey Hoag,
the pitcher who developed so well to-
ward the close of the season. and Eddie
Burns. ST Mary's boy. who proved a
star in the outfield for Cy Moreing' S
Oaklanders this year. All three are
free from taint of blacklist and could
be sold by the clubs owning them
Mack also made inquiries about
Monte Pfyl, and it is said that he may
attempt to have the sensational Stock
ton first sacker reinstated in the
graces of organized ball with view of
giving him trial next year if suitable
arrangements can be made with the
Stockton club.

Big BLACK Is Arrested for
Challenging in Public

NEW YORK. Nov so. - Jack
johnson. the heavy weight pugi1-
ist, has again come out unscathed
from an encounter with the police.
Magistrate DoOley of Brooklyn came
TO his rescue when johnson was ar
raigned today, following his arrest
charged with violating the statutes in
issuing a challenge" for a fight
The so called challenge was deliv-
cred in little speech Johnson made
where he was appearing, and in which
he said he was willing to meet Sam
Langford or any other aspirant for
pugilfstic hOnors on 30 days notice.
Discharged" said Magistrate Dooley.
There is no violation here. and the
police were wrong.

observer viii readily see how many OF
these II took 70 bring that grand
total up TO $4,000 or more. Hundreds
of the boys who have followed Powell
in all his recent battles were severely
stung- One of them remarked last
night that Lew broke the Mission. "
But IL he did, he helped make Los An
geles rich It's an i'll wind that blows
nobody good.
Powell did not bet any money on his
own chances. He seldom wagers. being
content to take his end of the purse
and let it 20 at that. 1t is understood
that Wolgast won little money. He
intended to bet $1,000. but whether he
did or not, nobody seems to know.
Anyhow, he did not place the money
when anybody was looking.
Tom Jones was flashing a bankroIl
to wager on his man, but he. like VOL
CAST, seemed TO fade away at the last
minute Jones saws that he placed
S1.SO0 on his fighter ct odds of 10 to &
and 10 to 7. Jones also insists that he
handled several hundred dollars for
his eastern friends all of whom liked
the Milwaukee boy at the tempting
price.
Wolgast and Powell fought for a
purse of $4,000 This was equally di-
vided, each man taking s2.500 for his
end. Incidentally, it was more money
than either received at one time be-
fore. When Wolgast met Nelson in
while the lightweight champion drew
down the tidy sum of $500. This is
what class and reputation get a
fighter.
DREW $4,000 HOUSE
The fight drew in the neighborhood
Of $4,000, according to Manager Sid
Hester of the Mission club. 1t was
one of the largest houses that Dream
land rink ever held and. from a fnan-
cfal standpoint, was nearly two to one
better than any of the other fights in
the past. The gallery alone held more
than 1,200 people, who paid 50 each
twice as much as they usually are
taxed.
Many of those at the ringside are so
elated with the showing Wolgast made
that they are willing to go on record
as saying that he can beat Nelson But
the wise old ones, who have seen so
many of them come and 60 believe
that the Battler will beat the little
Milwaukee terror to a pulp if they ever
come together in a long distance bout.
These dopesters figure it out on
Wolgast's showing against Powell.
Those who watched the little fellow
closely saw him begin to tire along
about the sixteenth and seventeenth
rounds. If he ever tired with Nelson.
it would he good night Just as sure
as he pulled on his gloves Once a
man begins to back up the Durab q

LEWIS HACKERS HARD HIT
There's many hoy from the Mission
and other districts who viii mourn the
loss OF several weeks wages on the
auburn haired slugger. AS everybody
knows. Powell was the idol of the
hone fans They believed that he
could beat any OF them. The miNup
with Wolgast looked like mere
Warmup gallop IN their eyes The
little Dutchman was not visible under
the microscope. There was onlyg one
figure looming up on the horizon, and
that was PowelIs. Alas, they forgot
TO reckon with the other fellow.
II was the big bettors and the mem
bers of the wise brigade from Los An

SOUTHERN WISEACRES CASH
A large delegation Of the southern
sports, headed by Bob GOllman and
Chalk Roberts, came UP. They wanted
TO see the fight and they wanted to
have a little bet down on Wolgast.
Gollman bet something like 81, 400 for
himself. besides several thousand dol

commi issioned him to wager. Roberts
went for a thousand or so, and he. too.
had commissions TO I'LL. They will
leave for the south this evening with
Wolgast, well pleased with their north

The racetrack bunch all cleaned UP.
Nearly every eastern layer and fol-
lower OF the game who could afford
the price took flyer AT the juicy
short end. Among the big local bet
tors was Benny Selig, Joe Cans for
mer manager. Benny wagered 500
against $1,000 Originally he intended
TO place his money on Powell, but be-
coming disgusted with the odds, he
decided TO daily a bit with the short
