WELSH IS AFTER BAT NELSON
Coming to America Expressly to Meet
Him in the Ring.

-
NEW YORK. Nov. 20-Freddie Welsh,
who recently defeated Johnny summers for
the llghtwe eight title Of England, is coming
to America soon for the expressed purpose
Of forcing Battling Nelson to fight him
for the lightweight championship Of the
world. The little Englishman has been
vainly seeking a match with Nelson for
two years, but in view Of his grip on the
British championship he believes that this
time Nelson will have to either fight or
crawl WEIGH is we'll known in this country,
where he has boxed in all the large cities.
He bumped into the limelight when he
boxed a twenty-five round draw with
Packey Mcfarland at Los Angeles a year
ago last July. In that affair Welsh, in
the opinion Of many competent critics, had
a distinct advantage and should have re-
ceived the verdict. Later the Brlton made
Abe Attell look like a selling platter In q
fifteen round bout in the same place. Il
Is true that Welsh had the advantage in
weight, but the way he outboxed the scien-
tifio featherweight champion left no room
to doubt his quality.
Welsh has challenged Nelson repeatedly,
but without receiving recognition. He has
posted 5000 in cash as a forfeit, and side
bet OH several occasions, but Nelson has
ignored him.. He has threatened to claim
the lightweight championship by default,
but the Batter has merely auRhed. Once
or twice Nelson, when cornered, has ex-
pressed a willingness to fight Welsh some
time" but that is about all.
Now Welsh is coming back to this country
with increased prestige and a just demand
for a match. He says he will post a IS, 900
forfeit upon his arrival here and will issue
a challenge to Nelson to fight twenty
rounds, forty-five rounds or to a finish at
1873 pounds r~ingside, the American light
weight limit. He says the 5000 can go as
a side bet and that he will let Nelson
decide upon the division OF the purse.
Welsh declares that he will agree to
California as the battle ground and win
be ready TO fight within two months after
he reaches here. The English champion
also sets forth that he has first call on
Nelson and that the latter will not be
called upon to meet the winner Of the
Wolgast-Powen fight on November %.
In a battle to a finish Welsh might be
a hard proposition Tor Nelson unless the
latter possessed his old endurance. There
Is not a scientific thing about boxing that
Welsh doesn't know. He has a phenomenal
detence and is tightening itself In landing
blows with either hand But he lacks a
Knockout punch, as his recent mill with
summers we'll illustrated. He is physic-
ally strong, though, and has undoubted
stamina, being generally regarded by fling
sharps as essentially a long distance
tighter. With superior endurance he might
be able to tire Nelson out unless the latter
happened to reach him with a knockout
blow. In a twenty round bout, however,
Welsh might be an easy winner on points.
as Nelson is not a boxer in the s~trictesa
sense Of the word. At any rate It Is the
prevailing opinion that Welsh is entitled
to be heard.

JOCKEY CLUBS LIKE THE DECISION
Layers of Odds May Work in the
open Next Year.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-Jockey club mem
bers, turfmen and persons indirectly in
terested in racing are apparently well salts
fled with the decision of the court Of
appeals, which makes oral wagers and the
displaying Of odds legal. 1t is generally
agreed that the verdict would clean the
atmosphere next season in that the various
officials and the police would have a line
to go by, but it was also admitted that
betters have no greater privileges than
those enjoyed this year under difficulties.
The point has been made doubly clear,
however, that a man may write odds
on his program and display them to his
friends, who may be willing to make oral
bets with him on the races. In a word
there can be no legal restrictions on bet
ting except in the wagering OF cash, a
point that will probably be raised later on.
Persons who believe in racing and like
to make a bet under this ruling can visit
the tracks next season and back their
opinions without fear Of arrest. Other
persons who prefer 10 bet against a horses
chances can do SO freely and can offer
odds without interference Just so long as
they do not record transactions.

FIGHT BIDDERS ARE VERY SLOW
Seem Afraid They'll BE Outbid II They
File EARLY.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-Fearing that II
they should send in their bid now to Stake
holder Bob" Murphy for the champion
snip fight between Jim Jeffries and Jack
johnson the amount Of 1t might become
known and thereby result in losing them
the contest by having others outbid them.
such cunning fight promoters as Jimmy
Cotfroth' Jack Gleason, Tom McCarey and
Hugh Mcintosh nave consequently made
no attempt to file their incentive with
Murphy and will not do so until a few
days before the bids for the fight are
opened, which will be on the afternoon of
December /.
Both Gleason and Coffroth stated that
they had plenty OF time In which to put
In their bid, and on that account they
would make no attempt to turn It in untI
a. few hours before the time slated for
them to be opened. Sam Berger, n
for J%effries, announced that he is receiv-
ing kilograms every day from fight promo
ters all over the United States saying that
they Will put in a bid for the bout.
Il am not worrying over the bids Just
now" said Berger; the only thing that
is troubling me is whether I can get
enough men to act as sparring partners
for Jeff while he is training"

NEW RECORD FOR BIG FIGHT
That is Looked For in Coming JEFF
fries-Johnson Bout.
ONE PUNCH MAKES A FORTUNE
Jeff Has Been in -Four Bouts which
Have Broken the Record on
Receipts and This VIII
BE the Fifth.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9O-A fortune in one
punch.
There isn't any doubt that the winner cf
the Jeffries-Johnson fight will establish a
new record in the amount Of money won
in a single encounter in the ring. The
fighting game is the most lucrative voca-
ton in the world. Joe Cans went to Fort
Erie, stepped into the ring with Frank
Erne, shot out his right, and right there
was created a new lightweight champion.
That one punch Melted Cans at least 100000
worth of engagements.
Although never officially given out, It is
said that the gate receipts for the fight
between Jack johnson and Tommy Burns,
pulled off by Hugh Mcintosh, the famous
Australian promoter, at Sydney last De-
cember amounted to considerably over
500, 900, so 1t would not in the least surprise
the club anage OF this country II some
one should be compelled to offer more
than $1,000 for the Johnson-Jeffries con-
test in this country. In fact, a we'll known
Frisco promoter is willing to give that
much, If not more. for the battle, which
will undoubtedly break all records in this
country for attendance.
This will be the fifth contest in which
jeff engaged that broke the record. When
he whipped Tom Sharkey in New York, the
Coney Island club announced that the gate
receipts totaled $685. OO. OF which the fight.
ers received over 5000. The Jeffries-Cor-
bett battle in a Francisco drew a sG5, 900
house, and their contest in New York City
also drew a big house. The Jeffries-Fitz-
simmons fight for the worlds champion
ship also drew heavily, the receipts being
$4,000.
ing table of big purses received by the
fighters will be found very interesting by
the fight fans:

THREE YEAR TRACK AGREEMENT
Michigan and Syracuse Represent
East and West.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2~O.-Relations between
Syracuse and Michigan in foot ball have
been strengthened by a three-year agree
ment for a track meet
II is presumed that Syracuse, having
failed to meet any response from Cornell,
got Michigan as a rival worth while.
Whether Syracuse will meet the Indians
and Colgate, too. is not yet certain, but a
track team can stand three meets in a
season.
This also will give Michigan a fair try
out before the intercollegiate champion
ships. Hitherto the interstate games and
the o. S. Y. meet have been about all
the Wolverines had, and those two meets
weren't test enough.
With Syracuse 70 tackle. there will be
something for the Michigan men to work
for.

tolks dont care so much TO know what

told a man once who asked him for a his
tory Of his career. But Il is interesting to
know that Rice had charge OF the Argo-
naut Rowing club from 1884 to 1897; was
with the Brockville Rowing club in 1885 and
1859; went TO Detroit TO the boat club there
until 1904, coaching also when not engaged
at Detroit the Ottawa Rowing club and the
Toronto Rowing club, and eventually en-
tered upon his college rowing career with
an engagement with the Weld Boat club
at Harvard. This place he held until 1906.
1t was in 1899 that Rice was in Brock
vile for the Canadian regatta there. His
B~rockville club was contesting against
crews coached by Hanlan. The two met
in a hotel and old Ned boosted Of his
oarsmen. Rice said his men would win and
the natural outcome was a bet. Rice's

Neglect or pessimism we believe Dc
the greatest enemy the public have to

or recovery of health Practically
every case of. consumption might
have been cured If hope had been
maintained and proper treatment
had been resorted to. at the first
symptom of the disease. Until the
advanced stage, is reached, consump-
ton Is durable. g Catarnh Is RESPONSE
BILE, we believe, for every case OF con-
sumption. 1t is about catarrh- we
want to talk to you today, incidental
ly consumption, since the. two are so
closely allied.
We have medicine made from the
prescription of one Of the most sue
cessful catarrh specialists known.
| This medicine has record Of SO per-
cent cures, and we believe it is posi-
lively without an equal We are so
satisfied that we are right, that we
will supply the medicine free IN ev-
cry instance where it is used according
to directions for a reasonable length
of time and fails to cure and give
satisfaction in every particular. We
want everyone in Bismarck to try
this medicine at our risk. There are
no conditions or formality attached
to our offer. We put the user under
no obligation whatever.
The medicine we want you to try
is Rexall Mucu-Tone. 1t is catar-
rh remedy that goes direct to the
seat of the trouble. 1t Is carried by
the blood to every part Of the rvs
tenn. 1t seeks out and destroys the
germs or parasites which cause catar-
RIB. 1t purifies and enriches the
blood, tones up the muco+cells, sooths
and heals the tissues that were raw
aged by the catarrhal parasite, and
brings about a condition of health
and strength that prevents the germs
of consumption from ever getting
start. Besides this, Rexall Mucu-
Tone is a wonderful appetizer, diges-
tive aid and flesh builder. It's good
effects are felt from the very first
dose. 1t is one of the largest and
most satisfactory selling medicine
that we have ever had anything to
do with. We know so much of the
great good: it has done that we per-
sonally back it up with our reputa-
tton and money, which fact should be
ample guarantee: to- satisfy anybody.
