New Orleans Fans Are Frantic
With Fight Joy Over Joe Mandot
French Quarter Mississippi Lightweight
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Mack Sanon
By NJ.

FEW ORLEANS and the French
M market were frantic with joy
l. when the news was flashed
there that Joe Mandot, born and
reared in the French section of the
Mississippi river town, had won over
Joe Rivers at Los Angeles. CeIebra-
fire and much fine French wine was
consumed in properly celebrating the
little French lads laurel winning af-
fair on the Pacific coast. Thousands
OF dollars were collected by the anna
teur gamblers of the quarter on little
Joe The streets of the old French
quarter were filled with frenzied
Frenchmen, shouting the praises of
the winner at Vernon arena, and much
a.bSinthe was drunk to the health of
the product Of the French quarter.
Letting a bit Of this pardonable
French enthusiasm get into their pen
hands, the New Orleans sport writers
are now claiming the world for their
native son fighter It is a dope cham
pionship belt they are awarding their
favorite and it is a bit farfetched at
that Mandot is the most likely con-
tender for the championship belt now
in possession of Ed Wolgast barring
Packey Mcfarland, who is getting his
sails trimmed for the fighting Dutch
man. But paper award of the belt
Is hardly within reason, despite the
enthusiasm of the New Orleans French
folk Their dope runs to the effect
that Joe Rivers licked WoIgast on July
4, in spite Of the decision, and Mandot
By simple deduction Mandot is entitled
to the claims of the champion as
much as Wolgast. But this is not the
way championships are decided and it
will be necessary for Mandot to meet
Wolgast to settle any claims he may
have This is all with the idea in
mind that Mandot, in his Labor day
condition, can give Wolgast the fight
of his life
The next attraction per Sc is the
match which has been billed for New
York between Wolgast and McFar-

DELEGATES IN WRECK.
Large Number on Way to Chicago
DELAYED for Hours.

FONDA, N Y, June 1.-THE express
train on the New York Central railroad
known as 'the Fast Mall which left
New York for Chicago at S:45 yesterday,
was wrecked three miles from here
while travelling sixty miles an hour. The
wreck was caused by another wreck,
that of an eastbound freight train,
which had derailed a number of gondoia
cars filled with soft coal. One of the cars
was thrown directly across the west
bound passenger track.
No warning OF the freight wreck and
condition of the track had been given to
the engineer of the express train, and he
was driving at top speed when the engine
plunged into the freight car and cut it
III half.
Frank Pratt of Albany, the fireman.
was so badly scalded that he died yes
terday afternoon. Edward Lyons. also of
Albany, the engineer. was buried under
the Wreckage, but escaped practically un-
hurt. No one else was seriously injured.
When the engine overturned five cars
of the crowded train, whose passengers
were chiefly delegates and visitors to
the Chicago convention, were deraiied
and bumped along the ties. The passen-
gers were hurled from their seats and
some of them across tables in the dining
car. but the steel cars held together un-
der the terrific strain. Like the engine,
these cars were thrown over so that they
blocked the eastbound passenger track
The result of the two wrecks was
complete tie-up of all traffic on the New
york Central lines at. this point. All
trains were switched over to the West
shore lines after long delay. and some
of the westbound, passengers on the
wrecked express train were able TO OBJ
tain passage on the Twentieth Century
Limited, so their arrival In Chicago would
not be delayed.

TWENTY IN SPEED TEST.
Torpedo Boat Destroyers to Be Tried
Out Wednesday.

NEWPORT. R. l., June 17.-Twenty tor
pedo boat destroyers. the fastest in the
navy, are being mobilized here today to
take part in the greatest speed test to
which American vessels Of their type
were ever subjected. The plan calls for
an eight-hour full speed run Wednesday
OF this week. in which all twenty de-
stroyers will take part.
Some of the destroyers are oil burners
and others use coal, but all are fast. at
least two knots faster than the speediest
ocean liners. The twenty destroyers are
all comparatively new vessels and on
their trial trips averaged in excess of
thirty knots an hour. The Reid has made
as high as thirty -four knots.
The fotilla will proceed to sea in group
formation, five vessels abreast, but as
soon as they reach the open water and
receive the signal for. the tests they will
form twenty abreast and proceed in that
formation.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Roosevelt
managers plan to focus the fight the min
ute the republican national convention is
called to order tomorrow by precipitating
a roll call in which only those delegates
whose seats are undebated by Col. Roose-
welt shall vote.
The Roosevelt men expect to achieve
this end by demanding a roll call on the
temporary Craftsmanship on the very first
question that comes up before the con-
vention. Then II is planned to have Gov.
johnson Of California cast the twenty six
votes for that state on the question.
This action by Gov. Johnson. it is ex-
pected. Will be objected to by the two
Taft delegates from the fourth California
district. This Juncture will be grasped
by the Roosevelt floor leader as the one
upon which to get the "expurgated" vote
OF delegates. The door leader will move
at once that the temporary roll as made
UP by the national committee be rejected,
snd that substitute roll, including the
seventy or eighty delegates claimed by
Col. Roosevelt be adopted.
In thus submitting the matter Of the
debated seats to the committee en- bloc.
none Of the delegates affected by the
contests could vote on the question.
and the Roosevelt men believe that
such q poll would give them the upper
hand In the organization of the con-
vention.
Unless the Roosevelt leaders get this
vote on contests at once it Is said that
they plan to force the issue further by
Immediately moving the nomination of
COL Roosevelt. and attempting to hold
