For several years other large cities OF

proven to be more popular. In fact, last
years games drew the largest entry list

NELSON NOT WORRYING.
Is Making More Money Than When
He Was Chamninn.

The loss Of the lightweight champion
ship to Wolgast on Washington's birth
day does not seem to affect Battling Mel
son-in fact. he says he is making more
money now outside Of the ring than when
he held the title. This is the way the
Dane, who is appearing at a Newark
theater this week. talks:
When a champion keeps on winning
the public gets tired of him. I won so
many battles after taking the champion
ship from Joe Cans that the public got
tired looking at me. The public, as a
rule, has little use for loser, but 1t
figured after my defeat by Wolgast that
had made one of the gamest battles in
the history OF the ring. and that 1 had
always won or lost on the level. So II
got interested in me again. and I am
deluged with offers to appear on the
stage.
"Since the wolgast bout I have made
So, 735 above my eXpnses. or, including
my expenses, about $1,000 week. In the
same length of time Wolgast made $1,000
and had to pay his expenses out of that
sum. Why. the week after the fight VOL
CAST did not work-in fact, it was two
weeks before he succeeded In getting an
engagement / lost the battle Tuesday
afternoon. and Wednesday evening left
for Chicago. arriving there Sunday morn
ing I started working that afternoon,
and In the two weeks Wolgast was look
ing for an engagement I cleared up 81, 400.
Il am going to fight Wolgast again, and
honestly believe I will whip him. i was
simply overworked when 1 met him in
California in February. When I had him
almost out in the twentysecond round I
lacked the ginger to finish him. He was
at his very best, and inasmuch as he is
not a careful person regarding his hab-
it's, / do not believe he can ever be as
good again as he was on the day he faced
me. He will never again have the chance
he had in the last ten rounds Of that bat
tie. Now, If Wolgast at his best could
not knock me out, or even knock me
down, when I was at my worst, what
chance has he got against me when We
meet in September, when I will be at my
best and he not as good as he was two
months ago7"

a trade in which Washington will get the
short end of the deal.
In the past the latter part of that
statement was only too true-Washington
did get the short end of it, Some of the
fans still believe that that policy prevails
at present, and probably for that reason
are still knocking, but the facts do not
bear them out. They have allowed them
selves to become blinded to the true state
Of affairs.
Just remember, IL You please, that the

They realize that you have been making
money for them and they are willing
that you should make more but money
Is not the end of their desires: 1t Is not
the only thing they want. Every man
who was ever connected with the game

thrill, he would experience. and which is

JEFF rs THREE MEN.

Jeffries is three men in one" is
the comment Of Kid Mccoy He
has the strength and vitality to fit
out half dozen fighters like my
self What the man who knows
nothing about fighters fails TO real
lie is that JeHries is wholly unlike
any fighter within the recollection
of any living man. He is so tough
and hard that blows that would
end another heavyweisht's career
have no effect upon him, while
with his enormous strength and
vitality he can siam home a punch
that will win him his fight after
he has been fighting for hours and
when another man would be so ex-
hausted that he couldn't hit hard
enough 10 dent a chocolate eclair.
That retirement for Ave years
hasn't done any harm, either. He
has been doing some drinking in
all likelihood, but not enough to
affect that wonderful vitality Of
his. and unlike other fighters he
hasn't been knocking around in
dulging IN all sorts of dissipation.
He is married and domestic in his
tastes, and the quiet sort of life
he has been leading has kept him

LOOKING AFTER FINANCES
FIRST BENEFIT TOMORROW

The campaign in behalf of the national
regatta of the National Association of Am
ateur Oarsmen of America has been OPEN
ed. and the members of the Potomac
Boat Club and its strong ally, the Cham
Der of Commerce, are canvassing the city
in order to make the affair a great fnan-
cial success.
The Chamber of Commerce convention
committee, organized for the sole purpose
of booming Washington as the general
civic center for all convention regattas,
etc, intends to make this regatta its
opening gun to show the people that it is
IN earnest in such matters, hence it
will push the regatta TO the limit among
the people OF the country. Chairman
Granville Hunt of the convention COM
mittee has had several informal confer
ences with the officers of the Potomac
Boat Club and d tentative plan of action
mas been agreed on, which will be fully
and formally discussed at a meeting OF
the two organizations held some time the
coming week
The members of the Potomac Boat
Club are paying very little attention to
the regatta part of the program Just
now, as they are fully aware that such
will work itself out at the proper time,
but they are bending every weapon in
their possession to properly finance the
scheme to q success.
The aquatic events. as far the races
go, will excel ali previous efforts of the
National Associations view that its
chairman, Mr.. G. r. Zappone, vouches
for--but the $4,000 necessary to make
the whole something worthy of the
National Capital is the mountain that
in order to continue its existence, hence
every other thing is put aside.

big lot of money should be wagered at
evens. They tell me that in Australia
siderable money already has been bet
on him as a 6-to-i favorite, which
makes ii evident that the victory of the
colored man over Tommy Burns safely
installed the victor as world beater
in the minds of Australians.
Johnson Money in Wall Street.
In Wall street there seems to be plenty
OF Johnson money. with the result that
the placing at evens has been the rule
rather than the exception. For my part
it looks as if there would be plenty of
time to get down ones coin after a
more satisfactory report on the results
OF the training of the contestants, say
Il month hence, when their real work
will be well under way.
In my opinion it is difficult at this time
to fix any basis of comparison which
would make either man a favorite over
personal friends naturally would lead TO
making favorite. but among the ma
jority even money and take your choice
will prevail
1t is hard to dope a fight. and there
have been many instances where we have
seen favorites defeated in such q de-
cisive way that we later wondered why
Wager on Length of Mill.
There also has been some betting in the
east on the duration of the fight, some
friends OF Jeffries believing that he would
come into the ring in better shape than
ever. and offering odds that the fight
would not last ten rounds. i think this
form OF betting quite as uncertain a
proposition as the other. for the reason
that no man living can have any definite
idea Of the length of a fight because
there are no good grounds upon which
to base such an opinion. which at the
best can be only a guess
Other betting of which / have heard
has favored decision for johnson In
twenty rounds and if the fight goes to
the limit the popular opinion is In favor
OF ii decision for Jeffries.
] am clinging to Jefries as the winner
as the results of his early work fully
justify AL I expected. 1t soon will be
time to pack my grip and hike for the
west and then I'll try and tell my read
ers how the result looks from the close
viewpoint OF the Jefries training camp
