NELSON IN
A MARATHON RACE
The Dane Has Conviction He
Can Beat st. Yves, Hayes
and Other Runners.

NEW YORK. July 17.-Charles Harvey.
manager of Matt Maloney and Johnny
Hayes, the marathon runners. declared
today that Maloney was ready to
measure strides with Henri st. Yves in
a five-mile contest at American League
Park Saturday afternoon, July "a, and
that If he could get into communication
with Hayes the latter would also be a
competitor in this race. Hayes has been
racing in the upper part Of New York
state recently, and, strangely enough.
Harvey has lost track of him for the
time being.
This fivemile professional race may
have another starter. however, whose
entry will create more talk, probably,
than would the name of any other ath-
lete in the country. Battling Nelson, the
lightweight champion pugilist of the
world, has a firm conviction that he
could beat ony of the preSent-day mara
thOners in any race from five to twenty
six miles. Nelson has intimated that he
would like to enter the five-mile race,
which is given for the benefit of the
NewsboyS' Home, and thus make it an
exciting three-cornered race.
Nelson has been waiting for just such
an opportunity as this. In his training
for a fight Nelson is in the habit OF
doing from five to ten miles a day on the
road. and his friends say that he does
the distance in extremely good time, that
he never tires, and that if pushed by
a competitor he could probably run pretty
close to the record,

Boxers Clamoring for Chance.

All the local boxers are clamoring for
the chance to pit their skill against
Nelson in the four-round exhibition in
which he is to engage at the benefit. In
it they all see a chance to make a rep
utation that may mean many dollars to
them. Nelson is notoriously slow
starter He never warns up until after
the tenth round, and the fast local boys
figure that they could outpoint him in
four-round bout. A creditable showing
against Nelson, even in SO short a con-
test, might mean the offer of a large
purse from one of the boxing clubs on
the coast for A long fight with the cham
pion Therefore Tommy Murphy and
Leach Cross, Johnny Mario, Bert keyes.

weight, but d tough one: Charley Sieger,

be the first time that Battling Nelson
has ever been seen in action in New
York. The local clubs have not been
able TO offer him sufficient monetary in
ducements, because Nelson is nigh
priced artist. The fight fans are en-
thusiastic over this chance of seeing the
Battler in the ring.

WILL ASK INDEMNITY.
Parents of Leroy Cannon Will Try to
Make Nicaragua Settle.

Harrisburg, Penn. Nov. 2f.-The
parents of Leroy Cannon have decided
to ask the government to open nego-
tiations for indemnity from the Ze-
layan government. The state depart
ment will also be asked to have the
mans body brought home. The par
ents were heartbroken at the confirm
alton OF the news of the death of their
son.
Roy had money in Nicaragua" said
the mother. and his property was
taken from him. Now, because he was
hated by Zelaya he has been shot" She
quoted from letter received this sum
mer. stating: 'Whcnever an American
down here gets a little money these
natives begin to prosecute him They
are very jealous of any outsider max
ing money in Nicaragua"
Cannon's father said he would bel gin
proceedings to recover the estate of
which the family claims the son was
dtfrauded. The young mans mother
says she believes the story that her
son was trying to dynamite ships was
only an invention on which to base
some grounds for what she terms the
assassination of her son.

ON the promise of the parents of the
three Randolph lads arrested Friday
night for larceny to keep the boys IN
nights and exercise proper care over
them the execution of the sentence Of
sending two of them to the State
School for Boys was suspended and
sentence was suspended IN the case of
the other lad
The boys were Edgar NJ. Ward,
Harry NJ. Mailman and Howard r. Tut
tie. When the time for the hearing
came Saturday morning the court room
was crowded. Ward pleaded guilty to
taking a pistol valued al So, Mailman
to taking a pistol valued at 50 and
futile to taking fashlignt valued at
$3.50. Judge Larrabee said that he
could take them on the cnaIgc OF
breaking and entering, but would only
consider the charge of single larceny,
as by the other charge they would
have to bind them over 20 higher
court.
In the case of the futile boy it was
shown that he took the flashlight last
summer and so far as was known this
was the only thing he has ever taken.
1t was his first appearance in court.

case this year in which the latter had
been concerned. Judge I.arrahee sus-
pended sentence in Tuttles case until
Jan. 1, 1910, and that he would then
dismiss the case if the boy had given
no trouble during that time.
The Ward and Mailman boys he SEN
fenced to thc State School for Boys
during the remainder of their minor
ty, as they had pleaded guilty, but
suspended the execution of the sem
tence until Jan. |, 1910 and stated that
he would not enforce it provided the
lads kept all right up to that time and
if by then a probation officer for the
county had been appointed he shoult
place them in his care Judge Larrabee
urged the Parents of the three lads to
take charge of the boys and impress
or them the need of living good
clean life.
G.. A. Knight appeared for the par
ents of the lads and the parents them
selves also stated their desire to take
good care of the boys in the future
and We're willing if they could not con-
trol them to have them sent to the
State School for Boys.
