CHAMPIONS
BEING MATCHED

Battling Nelson and Owen Moran
have been matched to box twenty
rounds in San Francisco on November
rs. Ever since Moran made his rep
utation in America by going that 25
round draw with Abe Attell nearly
three years ago, the fans have been
longing to see him and Nelson n
the same ring. The match was talk
ed about time and again, but some
thing always bobbed up to prevent
it until Coffroth turned the clever
trick of matching these two great lit
tie boxers.
This match is without doubt the
best lightweight affair the ring has
known since Nelson lost his title to
Wolgast last February. It's one mix
up that they will all want to see and
it win be staged in an arena that is
large enough to accommodate every
body.
AS soon as he is through with Nor
an Nelson will prepare for his coming
battle with AID. Wolgast, which is
scheduled to take place in Louis
Blot's arena on December "a VOL
CAST informs Blot that he will meet
Nelson in December if he is guaran-
teed $500 with a privilege of 40 per
cent of the house. Blot Immediately
wired Wolgast that those terms were
acceptable and to consider himself
matched with the man whom he re-
lieved of the lightweight crown over
in Richmond last February.
This does sound rather strange,
says the Call, coming, as it does, di-
rectly upon the heels of the announce
ment that Wolgast can not possibly
engage in boxing contest before
next February. 1t is well known that
Wolgast's broken arm is far from be-
ing healed, and if he can engage in a
20 round contest in six weeks from
now. he will be springing a great sur
prise
On top of this report comes a
message from Cadillac, Mich, which
states that Wolgast, through his ma
mayer, announces that he will be rea-
dy to give Battling Nelson the pro-
missed return match probably as ear
" as February 1. BY that date VOL

was broken in his recent tight al
Fond du Lac, will be all right. The
trouble with Wolgasts left arm his
chief reliance, was that the Original
break had not quite healed.

RAGING WITH
JOHNSON WAS
DISQUALIFICATION

Barney Oldfeld, whose auto race
with Jack Johnson resulted in his dis
qualification by the American Auto
mobile Association, unnecessarily at
tempted to force the Atlanta Asso-
citation to permit him to race in their
meet on November 3.
Attorneys for the American Auto
mobile Association held that instead
of an injunction to force the local ra-
cling officials to allow him to race
in defiance of his disqualification by
the American Automobile Association,
Oldfeld should have sought a man
damus to secure reinstatement.
Oldfeld's attorneys brought suit
for $4,000 damages against the
American Association and one for $5,-
600 against the Atlanta Association.
They claimed that ne had been dis
qualified by the American Automo-
bile Association without a hearing,
and that disqualification of his Benz
racer amounted to a confiscation of
property. The attorneys argued that
his race with Jack Johnson was JUS
tifable because it would tend to dis
courage Johnson from future compe-
tition with white sportsmen.
The opposition counsel replied that
Oldfeld's disbarment was automatic
under the rules he himself had sign.

Judge Bell, after three hours and
IS minutes argument, ruled that he
had no jurisdiction.
