MANY WANT TRY
FOR The TITLE
Victory of Wolgast Over Nelson
Followed by Dozen Chal-
lenges.
BUT NEW CHAMP WILL REST
Short Theatrical Engagement Plan
ned for Present-Dane Wants
Another Chance.

San Francisco Cal, Feb. 24.-Del-
uged with offers from theatrical pro-
moters for Wolgast to go on the road,
Tom Jones, his manager, has not made
up his mind which of the propositions
to accept Wolgast will not take on
more than 10 weeks engagement at
present, after which he will take a
rest.
1t also is announced that while
Wolgast will be perfectly willing 70
defend his title against all corners, he
will refuse to consider a date for the
next three months. There is some
talk of a match between Wolgast and
Freddie Welsh. the English champion,
but as Wolgast wants $4,000 for his
end there is little chance of any one
taking up the fight.
The shifting of the lightweight title
has caused quite a shakeup. Where
as, there were not more than two men
outside of Wolgast considered TO have
chance with the Dane, there is now
a large field to choose from. Welsh
is the shining star, but Owen Moran
has friends who think he would stand
a good chance.
Thompson Wants n Chance.
Cyclone Johnny" Thompson is an
other possibility and George Memsic
and Lew Powell will endeavor to press
their claims. and, finally, Battling Mel
son wants another chance.
The Dane, accompanied by his man
ager, Jack Robinson. and his brother,
Arthur, left last night for Chicago. In
spite of his defeat, he will open the
atrical engagement in Chicago Feb.
81, but he says he will not play more
than three weeks. He plans to go to
his rarch in New Mexico for a rest,
and will be ready to fight in April
Negotiations now are under way for
As round fight here between Nelson
and Cyclone Johnny" Thompson be
fore Louis Blot's club. Blot has Of
fered Nelson $10,500 for his end, and
the Dane is willing to accept. The
only hitch is about the permit. Blot
has a March permit, but if he can
trade with Jim Griffin. who has the
April permit, he Will stage the fight.
Nelson Makes Proposition.
Nelson looked woebegone. but he
was full of fighting spirit. He wants
to fight Wolgast again and made this
proposition:
Il will bet Wolgast $4,000 even on
the result He ought to be favorite.
but l don't care. l will also bet him
81 900 to $4,000 that I stop him in 20
rounds and $1,000 to $4,000 that he
doesn't stop me-
According to the moving picture
men the films of the fight are good
and the figures of the two men re-
markedly large. 1t is probable the
interested parties will sell their
rights. Nelson says he has been Of
fered $4,000 for his 35 per cent in
terest and Hester has received an
offer of $4,000 for his end

fight with w. B. Wertheim in brawl
in an uptown grill. The flying glass
cut a small artery in the left temple
which caused Oldfield to bleed pro
fusely and led to the rumor that his
left eye had been so damaged that he
might not again engage in the racing
game. Oldfield, Wertheim and a party
had been celebrating over having won
large wagers on the Wolgast end of
the fight of the night before. The
belligerents had been friends and the
fight was provoked by trivial affair.

Not an Outlaw.
Killing had a three-year contract
with Chicago, but last spring declined

a semi-professional club which took
part in a few games with semi-pro
team in Chicago.

Before the meeting of the commits
sion it was practically certain King
would be reinstated and that the con-

"The Holy Land" and he showed
considerable knowledge of sacred

in comparison with the earth and that
the "three-score and ten" years of a
mans life is as nothing. SO the
story goes.
If this is the legitimate work of

an avowed candidate for the govern
orship, it passeth understanding. A.

markets as a result of the operation
of the Mckinley tariff bill in the
United States, Commissioner Rob-
ertson started cooperative cheese
factories. Within FIVE years he
had increased the output nearly
seventy-fold Later the Northwest
Territories were helped in the
same manner and bankrupt conditions
gave way to prosperity. Under Rob-

of Canadian dairy products rose from
$9,700,0O0 to s91,50o,000.
In 1896 he assumed the additional
duties of Commissioner of Agricul-

had done for dairying. He began to
offer prizes to boys and girls for the
best heads of wheat and oats. Here
he received the assistance of Sir Will
liam Macdonald-who had been
Iknighted-a $4,000 was offered in
prizes. AS a result, in three years the
percentage of increase for the Domin-
ion for spring wheat was IS per cent
i'm the number of grains and % per
cent in the weight, while in oats the
increase was 10 and q per cent, re-
spectively And this result followed

AS a result of these competitions
it was estimated in 1906 that the value
, of Canadian crops had increased IL
