LIVELY INTEREST IN
NELSON-WELSHM MATCH
Announcement from London That
English Lightweight Will Meet
Dane in September Causes
Much Comment

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The an
nouncement from London that Freddie
Welsh had arranged for a 45-round
fight with Battling Nelson, to be fought
in the United States in September, has
created the liveliest interest here.
BY decisively whipping every con-
tender in his own country, Welsh has
become the undisputed lightweight
champion of England, and for some
time he has been endeavoring to open
negotiations with Nelson, the holder
Of the worlds lightweight champion
ship, for a battle. Nelson expressed
willingness some time ago to give
Welsh a chance to win the title, and at
that time notified him on what terms
he would fight, 1t is said. The cable
gram announcing that the English pu-
gilist had arranged with Nelson for
the contest indicated that Welsh had
accepted all of Nelson's terms
The fight will be seen in either Cali
fornia or Nevada, as those are the only
states in which the 45-round battle is
permitted New York sporting men
are a little surprised that the date has
been fixed in September, as it was be-
lieVed Nelson would require a longer
time for training While Nelson is
always more or less in condition for
fight, it is believed that for match Of
this consequence he would require a
considera BILE period of active training.
Welsh also keeps himself in good con-
dition, and is able to fight 10-round
bout at any time, but it is believed he
would require a season of hard train
ing in this country to make a good
showing against Nelson.

LEADERS OF DRY GOODS
LEAGUE WILL GRAPPLE
Broadways and 8ostons to Meet This
Afternoon in Deciding Contest
of Close Series

The Department Store Baseball
league will play a double-header this
afternoon at Boyle Heights Athletic
park. In the first game the Bullocks
nine will play the team from Black
stones, while the leaders, the Broad
ways, and the Bostons will clash in the
second contest of the afternoon. The
Bullock Blackstone go should be an
interesting game, as both mines promise
to scalp the other team. The second
game Of the afternoon will undoubtedly
be the class of the day and should fur
nish a good variety of thrills to the
large crowd of fans who will undoubt-
edly accompany the two teams to the
secene of combat. Three weeks age
the Boston team defeated the Broad
way Stars, but Manager Dillberger
says don't worry" and believes his
pets will turn the trick this time and
tie the score when the results have
been tailed
The Broadway team has been greatly
strengthened with Clever at short, Ven
able at first Schmidt at second and
Carroll playing the most difficult posi-
ton of the infield. The Boston boys
have been exhibiting lately a first class
brand of ball and have a strong IN
field, their general work being far SUI
perior to that of the average amateur
nine. Both curve artists are in form
and will endeavor to twirl the fame OF
their lives. Crawford and Patterson

remarkable experience was related
of the owner of Thomas Flyer in a

hours, making about eighteen and
quarter miles an hour over the Siskiyou
mountains.
'I will try and give you a very In
teresting as well as exciting descrlp-
tion Of a race between passenger tram
No. 16, north bound and ourselves
which shows the supremacy of the
Thomas car over the train. We left
Custellas about thirty minutes ahead
of the passenger, stopped at Dunsmulr
about twenty-five minutes to hll with
gasoline and oil, then started on our
way. We made very fast time 10
Montague, a distance of sixty-slx miles,
where we had lunch. After having
gone about six miles out of town, we
sighted No. 16. From there the race
was on in earnest and until we reached
Hornbrook we sometimes led, then tne
train We arrived at Hit a few min
utes ahead of the passenger After
leaving Hit our experience was nearly
the same as before-tirst we were IN
the mountains above the train, and
then vice versa.
'The roads at this point in California
were exceptionally good for mountain
roads, but as soon as we reached the
Oregon line they became very rough
and we experienced some trouble gel,
fling over them. Here the train passed
us; but we arrived opposite the tunnel
through the Siskiyou mountains some
minutes ahead of the passenger, the ell
ovation of the tunnel being about 4OOO
feet while we had to go some 1000 feet
over the summit of the Sisklyou; FROM

they passed through large orchardss, ;,

he covered twelve miles in 19 IL min

made by the Wrights' aeroplane from

Much longer fights within snort

the Wrights and longer cross-country

off at a fast clip, his machine was
quickly a speck on the horizon. soon
it disappeared behind the trees.
