The following men are understood to have been interested in arranging for | the game at Los Angeles with the In- dians: Overall, “Locomotive” Smith, “Min” Greisberg gnd Hufson, alumni; | Heitmuller, Howard, Snedigar and| Haffey, varsity men of this year’s team. Two months ago the managers of the | Indian team corresponded with Man- ager Decoto of the varsity team asking | for a game on Christmas day. The re-| quest was granted, but later it was! found that the varsity men were in| poor condition and that a representa-| tive team could not be sent south. The| executive committee of the Assoclated Students then decided to call the affair | off, offering to send a second eleven, | however.

On the other hand, if Nelson happens to stop the sturdy plumber boy with those ever effective lunges which have gained for him such a name, the sport- | ing world will experience the pleasure of greeting a new champion—one who had risen out of obscurity to the top notch of the ladder of fame within the ! short space of dittle mnre than a single year. The betting of course favors the Cal- | ifornian. Last night his friends and admirers were willing to wager 10 to | 7 that he would leave the ring to-night | a victor over the great Dane. There was plenty of Nelson money in sight | at these odds, and from present indica- | tions the men will enter the ring with | Britt selling at 10 to 7 or perhaps 10| to 612, or maybe 10 to- 6.

Some are of the and land his terribie punches to the body at the same time, while others think that Nelson is capable of taking all the beating the Californian is able to administer and still be strong It looks as if Britt is figuring on fighting a cautious battle. He does not express an opinion either way, but everything goeg to show that he will stand off and fight the Dane from a distance and take a chance of landing a telling wallop every time a likely op- | portunity presents itself. This is the way in which he has fought 'several other alleged “touch propositions” in the past and it is not unlikely that he will adopt the same tactics this time. Both men were below the required weight yesterday afternoon and there | or Hilo, 1o M\()RlThS LAND THE COIN Ixeml\\orth Comes Home at Odds of 7 to 1, Show- ing a Reversal of Form LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19.—Two out of six favorites won at Ascot to-day, the other four races going either to. second choices or weil pleyed outsiders.

A report has been circulated in the Eazst that Battling broke his arm while training, but such a report is without foundation. Battling’s training mates have various apinions regarding the result of the battle. Eddie Santry says ten rounds. “Rawhide” Kelly says Battling will finish Britt before ten rounds. Marvin Hart says: “I don’t know how many rounds it will go, but Bat- tling wil certainly cop the coin.” To-day Nelson will leave Larkspur at 2:03 p. m. and come to San Francis- co and wait for the time to weigh in. He said last night: “I couldn’t be in better condition for this fight if I was made to order. I've had an easy time making the weight and feel as strong as a bull. I've waited nearly two years for a crack at Britt, and expect to bring home the money in about the sixteenth or twen- tleth round. I don’t see where Jimmy has it on me any. If I lose, I will have no excuses to offer.” Manager Murphy says: “I have watched Battling closely "during this spell of training and know he could not be in better shape.
