NELSON SEEKING
BATTLE WITH AD
Former Champion Hopes to Force
Dutch Demon to Give
Him a Chance

HEGEWISCH, ILL.,, Oct. 3.-Battling
Nelson, in a talking fit here today, an
nounced his determination to force Ad
Wolgast into a return match. The
Dane is going about the affair in a
businesslike manner and believes
strong campaign Of publicity will soon
create a demand on the part of the
public which Wolgast cannot afford to
ignore.
"Since winning the title from me
Wolgast has fought one BATTLE" says
Nelson. THAT was an easy ten-round,
no-decision affair with Jack Redmond,
a good fighter, but not in the cham
pionship running. He has consistently
ignored the demands made on him by
myself and other high-grade light
weights, and has become known as the
champion staller' rather than the
champion lightweight. He is a dis
grace to the ring. He has now
mapped out four imaginary battles to-
quiet -the public, but he has again
ignored the man who is most entitled
to a battle.
amy champion who loses a title af-
ter the battle I gave Wolgast is en-
titled to a return match. l gave re-
turn matches to Corbett, Britt, Cans,
Herrera and, in fact, any man who
thought he had chance after 1 de-
feated him. My title was clear cut
and undisputed. l passed up nobody,
while Wolgast, on the other hand, has
fought nobody. In forcing him into
return match I am not asking any
thing unreasonable or anything that |
have denied others. We can fight, ana
fight to a finish, at Reno, and get
barrel of money for it, too.
"I am now starting on an automo-
bile trip with Abdul the Turk, my
trainer, and Mr.. Tawney Of Kansas
City, and will be gone three months.
I weigh 150 pounds and have something
on which to train, statement I could
not make when I fought Wolgast be-
fore. The public has always accorded
me the distinction of being absolutely
on the level, and 1 am sure the press
and public will stand by me in my
demands for a return match Tor my
title.
'I have notified John r. Robinson,
who is now touring with his show, TO
start a press campaign Immediately
against Wolgast, and this interview IS
the first gun of our ! tile. Robinson
knows my ideas and stands better
than anyone else. We will be in con-
slant communication by wire and let
ter, and 1 am ready to back up any
statement he may make regarding
return battle"
Nelson looks in perfect health. His
color is better than ever and his three
months at Yellowstone park have
shown their effects. The Dane Is heavy
and rugged, and filled with all the
old-time confidence and courage that
made him champion.

CHANCE LAUDS WORK Of
CUBS UTILITY PLAYERS

CINCINNATI, Oct. 3.-After playing
the game which gave the champion
ship of the National league to Chicago
yesterday, Manager Frank j.. Chance
reviewed his troubles for the last few
weeks.
IT am prouder of the Cubs than l
ever have been in my life," he said.
"They have beaten all records for
overcoming obstacles. Never in the
history of baseball did a team win out
under such a heavy handicap of sick
ness and injuries.
"Our regular team has been an avail
able one only at infrequent intervals.
But the utility men have more than
done their duty. But for Archer, Zlm-
norman, Kane and Beaumont we
wouldn't be celebrating. L am proud
of every one of them, and 1 wouldn't
trade by subs for the regulars on any
other club. While the injury to Johnny
Evers is a blow, we have been recelV-
ing similar blows all year, and we
can't quit and give up hope of land
ing the worlds championship Just be-
canse he is out. Zimmerman will play
second base in the big series, and
mark my words. he will acquit him.

WINTER BOXING SEASON
MAY OPEN IN OCTOBER
Abe AtteII and frankie Conley
Talked of for Limited
Round Contest

According TO the talk which wends
its way up and down the Rialto, and
which emanates from no other than
Uncle Tom himself, boxing will be re-
sumed in the southland next month,
the first attraction being Able Attell
and frankie Conley in a limited round
engagement at Vernon. Should the
plans go through as scheduled-and
there appears to be no reason why
they shouldn't-the fans who have gone
hungry all these months will be de-
lighted beyond expression, and a little
life will be injected into what is nearly
a state of decay.
McCarey IS decidedly against any
thing that approaches a finish fight,
Sc in all probability Conley and Attell
Will meet in a fifteen round bout This
viii be plenty of time in which to de-
eide the question Of supremacy, and
be a boxing affair within the strictest
Interpretation of the law.
Conley has been taking on a lot of
weight since he fought his way into
what was termed the bantamweight
championship, and Will meet Attell at
equal poundage The match Is looked
on with favor, and will be a scientific
affair from start to finish, with chances
of a knockout or much gore being
spilled eliminated for Attell is a first
water exponent OF the finer points of
the game, and Conley has learned much
about blocking and footwork since he
was last seen III action here.

They're off on another week of the
Coast league series. and despite the
lineups of the teams one of the most
interesting sessions of the season is
looked for-on two diamonds at least.
With only five weeks to go until the
pennant is awarded, and with Oakland
and Portland close together and
striving every minute plenty of action
can be expected.
The real bouts of the week will be
here and at Portland, and the possi-
bility of Oakland going ahead of the
Beavers will cause both diamonds to
be watched with interest. Despite the
classy ball they have been dishing UP
the Oaks do not figure to do much,
for Hogan's hirellngs are known as
fighters from the word go, and with
the advantage of home grounds they
should give as good as they are
handed.
Up at Portland the Senators figure to
keep Mercedes men humping to take
the heavy end of their meetings. With
Arellanes, Pape and Whalen twirling
like bear kittens, it will take Knapp,
Gregg and Steen to beat them off, and
as every game counts the teams can
be depended on to do their very best.
The series at San Francisco does not
count for much, for the Seals are not
given a chance to cop the bunting, and
the Angels are playing such poor ball
they are hardly interesting to the fans.
Berry's boys went north last night in
a crippled condition. for Delmas Is
unable to go on the field and Wheeler
is being used at short field. Delhi is
along on this trip, while Thorsen, War
ing, Mast and Klein remain at home.

and boil the stiffness out of his limbs,
but Mast will be kept close to homo,

Realization

RAH-RAHS EXPECT
GREAT AWAKENING
American Football Fans Are Raj
lying to Support the Real
Old Game

The rah-rahs are preparing for
great year in American football in the
south, and the schedule promises some
meetings calculated to instill the real
college spirit into the most slothful OF
the fans. October will serve as a
practice month. and November has
program of high-class gridiron battles.
The squad of the University of
Southern California has been showing
the most class in team work and an
understanding of the new code, al
though Oxy and Pomona may come IN
with a sweep later in the schedule.
The Methodists will put much lighter
team on the field this year than last
season, but this will be 3. help rather
than hindrance, according to the cali
of the newly devised code.
Occidental, under the care of the
undergraduate coaching system in the
person Of link" Wieman, is rapidly
rounding out bunch of huskies, and
will shortly arrive at that stage OF
training when the varsity eleven is
selected from the various embryo tim
Der scattered around the sawdust.
The Tiger team will average about
$50 pounds.
Although many rumors have been
circulated that Stanton is greatly dis
appointed over the outlook of the
sagebrush school team, to the old
fans this Announcement presages a
whirlwind team, light but fast, and
capable of overwhelming any delega-
ton from the other teams of the con-
ference colleges.
Dope at the present stage of the
game is difficult, but the students OF
each school have prepared a most
likely account of the way in which
the season will result. The impartial
dopesters are keeping quiet until each
of the big five, Redlands, Whittier
Oxy, u. S. c. and Pomona, line up IN
a real game.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-New York city

Jessie Tobey, head of the millinery de-

vision of Columbia university, who
has just returned from a summer spent
in studying prospective styles abroad.
''The American women In Paris are
more attractive and artistic in their

"The women of Paris admit it, and
this fact points clearly to the prophecy
that New York will ultimately become
the fashion center Of the world.

MINOR HEIR RECORDS
COST TRAINER MONEY
Hersey's offer of $50 for Each
Mark Lowered Proves
Rather Expensive

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 3.--Harry Her
sey, superintendent of NJ. W. Savages s
stock farm and famous as the trainer
and driver of Dan Patch, Minor Heir
and other great horses, made very
bad bargain last winter. 1t was made
more as a joke than otherwise, but 1t
was a bargain nevertheless, and Minor
Heirs record breaking miles of the
past few weeks have made it hard
bargain, too 1t has already cost Her
sey $3.50, and there is no telling what
1t will cost him before the end of the
season.
One day last winter when work was
slack on the Savage training farm,
Harry and some of his assistants were
considering the chances for making
new worlds records this year. The
superintendent was feeling good ma
tured, but, as usual, not very optimis-
tic. After thorough discussion of all
the probabilities he closed the meeting
with the statement. made to Ernest
Barter, caretaker for Minor Heir;
"Well, Ernie, maybe we will and may
be we won't. Anyway, he will need
great deal of attention from now on.
T tell you what I'll do. Every time
Minor Heir breaks a worlds record
will give you $50"
Ernest grinned and said "All right;
that's a bet"
Trouble started at Galesburg. Minor
Heir won race in 200. "How about
that fifty?" chuckled Barter when
Hersev stood watching the great PAGER
cooling out. I'm stung," said Hersey,
"but / guess that mark won't be beaten
right away"
At indianapolis it cost Harry cold
hundred. and at Louisville, when Minor
Heir made a new worlds record mark
for half mile over a half-mile track,
there was chance for an argument,
but Barter agreed that as there had
been a trial of this kind on the books
he would let Hersey off, but added,
Never again."
Hersey now wonders where 1t rs all
going to end, but insists that ne Is
glad to part with the f1fties.
