Queens English in castigating some
Of his local socialistic enemies, and
he extends them a cordial invitation
to show him where he did not make

Why is 1t that the democrats never

history of the party for the last half
century, and probably will be until
the end Of time. Too bad. Too

Hosp has pitched better games than
the shutout he put on Reidys men, but
on the whole his work was very satis-
factory. Only In the third inning, when
three hits were made-two infiel1
drives and a bingle to right field-did
the Commuters come near the plate,
and in that frame Hosp was master OF
the situation at all times. The bases
were filed in the ninth. when Hosp
walked two after Carroll had led off
with a single, but 1t was here again

getting out of the hole.
Los Angeles made it interesting for
Boice in both the second and third
rounds, when they annexed a tally

fielding on the part of the Commuters.

That Battling Nelson and Ad VOL
CAST will meet in a 45-round battle just
outside the corporate limits of Los An
geles within two months time seems
almost a certainty, following the de-
velopments of the last two days, after
the defeat sustained by Nelson at the
hands of the sturdy little Milwaukee
fighter. The showing Ad made against
the lightweight champion last Tuesday
night so impressed the fans and Pro-
moter McCarey of the Pacific Athletic
club that Immediately on the settle
ment of the details of the last battle
arrangements were taken up for a re-
turn match.
Naturally having sustained a defeat
from a boy whom he outweighed five
pounds, Nelson is anxious to meet him
at the Battlers route, 40-round meet
ing. Wolgast is willing nay, he is
eager. His victory over Nelson has
given him a tremendous amount of con-

ance regarding the coming match than
he did before the last meeting with the

the durable son of Hegewisch was

talks of nothing but putting out the

That the bout will come to Los An
geles looks probable. Nelson and VOL
gast are both willing to fight, and con-
slider it an ideal place to train. They
will take rest, however, and it is
not probable that the fans will see the
men together until the latter part of
August or the first of September.
Nelson is planning to leave in a day
or so for New York city. He will
remain in the east several weeks and
may accept theatrical offers. Wolgast
wants at least a month or six weeks
rest, for he has had five fights in as
many weeks, and Is finding himself a
