Albert Cutler of Boston 500 to 412 and
Cline defeated George F. Slosson,' the
New York veteran, 500 to 1872.
In the Cassignol- Cutler game to-
night the Boston player in his ninth
inning made the highest run of the
tournament thus far-15S points Then
he failed to get either object boil out
of balk space. The Frenchman was
deliberate and delicate in his cue work,
getting on even terms with his oppo-
nent with run of 81 in the fourteenth
inning.

The Phlladelphlan gave splendid
exhibition of open table and nursing
plays in his twenty first inning, which
netted him 45 caroms, 10 resulting
from three cushion shots. With a
carefully played run of 30 in his
thirty-first inning, which was full of

GRANEY READY TO BID
FOR THE BIG BATTLE
Wolgast's Admirers Promise to Back Their
Man When He Faces Powell in Ring
By WILLIAM ]. sLATTERY

like to see referee selected several
days before the fight.
The sports in general can not figure
out what objection Tom Jones has to
Eddie Smith. The Oakland man has
refereed many of the most important
battles staged here within the last two
years and has always given satisfaction
to the fighters and the public alike.
Jones is in a fair way to make himself
very unpopular in San Francisco.
Wolgast put in another hard day at
training yesterday and the little Dutch
man looks as if he is ready now to fight
for the title. There was critical audi
ence at the ocean beach pavilion watch
ing him box and go through his regular
unanimous in their opinions that the
easterner is a tough nut and the man
that downs him must possess champion
ship material
Is a HARD FIGHTER
Wolgast is not a boxer, and he does
not try to impress upon his audience
that he is one of those fighters who
wins by tapping and getting away with
out a return. On the other hand, he is
a tearing fighter, who forces his op-
ponent and knows how to crowd him
and find an opening. II Powell pursues
course of exchanging wallops with
the visitor he will undoubtedly find him
q more rugged man than he did Cyclone
Thompson when they clashed several
years ago.
There is no doubt that wolgast has a
tiattening punch in his mitt, and IT he
connects it with a vulnerable part of
his opponents makeup the result can
be forecaSted. All the local fans know
that Powell can also punch, and 1t will
be hard to figure how the battle can re-
suit in anything but a knockout when
these boys clash. There are many fans
who think that ore or the other is like
ly to hit the mat before half a dozen
rounds have elapsed. II a Knockout re-
suits to either fighter it will be the first
be has experienced during his career.
victory to either man means q
whole lot, while a defeat means that
the loser will be showed back in the
pugilistic scrap pile.
WOLGAsT Is CONFIDENT
Wolgast is not a boxer, and he does
and while it is not a good policy for a
fighter to look too far ahead he is al
ready thinking of the time he will meet
Battling Nelson He feels sure that he
will lay Powell low, and he thinks it
may happensvery early in the night.
He contemplates bringing the fight to
Powell so fast that the local lad will
have little chance to use his dazzling
speed.
Wolgast was unusually severe with
his sparring partners yesterday and
they were pretty badly used up when
they finished boxing with the Milwau-
keean. Hobo" Dougherty went through
three rounds with Wolgast, and then
Tommy Gary came on for three and
Dougherty was brought back for two
more.
There was no loafng in the sparring 6
bouts 1t was a case of fight all the
way and Wolgast proved demon for
work. as he finished apparently fresh
and ready to go many more rounds
Stanley Ketchel, the middle weight
champion, was a visitor at Wolgasts S
camp yesterday, and he said that the
little Dutchman was a powerful little
fellow and the fans would be treated
to surprise when he meets Powell.

POWELL 10 TO s FAyoRITE

The betting on the Powell Wolgast
mill is now 10 to in favor of the
auburn haired lad. The money is COM
ing in fast and 1T begins to look as
though many thousands of dollars will
be wagered on the result. Wolgast' s
admirers evidently are holding back for
a better price, though it is expected
that they will open up in a few days.
Tom Jones, Wolgasts mana ger, has
received a commission of $500 from a
New Orleans sportsman. Jones will bet
this money today at the best odds he
can obtain. He says that he will bet
several hundred dollars himself, but
he is waiting until the last day. as he
expects that the price will be better at
that time Jones is looking for VOL
