WHITMAN REACHES OGDEN IN NINE DAY RUN. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—From Omaha comes the news of a remarkable record ride across the continent up to that point now being pursued by L. L. Whit- man of San Francisco in a six-cylinder Franklin air-cooler car. Whitman left San Francisco at 6 o'clock on the even- ing of August 2 and arrived at Omaha this evening, making the run to that peint in nine days, cutting the record in half. He expects to reach New York on August 17, completing the run of nearly 4500 miles in fifteen days. The present transcontinental record is thirty-three days, and was made by Whitman o a twelve-horsepower Franklin two years ago. On that oc- casion he cut the previous record in half, and If he again succeeds in haly- ing his present record his feat will be a remarkable one. This is Whitman’s third transconti- nental trip. The route followed to Omaha was across California to Wads- worth, Nev., thence to Battle Mountain and to the northern part of Utah, pass- ing around Grgat Salt Lake to Ogden, thence through Wyoming to Allen and down to Laramie, then across to Denver and through Nebraska to Omaha. The worst part of the journey, in- cluding the crossing of the Sierra Ne- vada Mountains and the deserts of Ne- vada and Utah, has been accomplished. The route to New York is via Chicago, Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo, Syracuse and Albany. —_— CAPTAIN CLEARY LOSES HIS VALUABLE COLLIE Terry McGovern, a Frequent Bench Show Winner, Dies From an Affec- tion of the Stomach. Captain John Cleary has lost his valuable collie, Terry McGovern, con- sidered one of the finest dogs of his breed in the United States. The animal died a few days ago from catarrh of the stomach after his owner had made every effort to save him. Terry McGovern was a frequent win- ner in bench shows and many judges have credited the dog with ninety- eight points when he came up for in- spection,. The owner of the dog was frequently offered large sums for the animal, but he refused to sell. He wak bred by Captain Cleary’s father and was out of Belle Byington by Verona Battle. Both these dogs were blue ribbon win- ners. —_——— Mayfiower Cup for Golfer Egan. CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—H. Chandler Egan of Exmoor defeated Robert E.

OLDFIELD, Aug. r1—Battling Nelson arrived in Goldfield this afternoon by auto, having left the belated train last night at Tono- pah. Upon his arrival he was given an enthusiastic reception and made a speech at Northern, in which he expressed his appreciation of the reception given him. Later he said: “Say, that was going some. ' I don’t want to travel any further in a chug wagon. I've ridden with Barney Oldfield and the rest of them, but the Cristman auto can beat anything on wheels. We did the thirty-one milesin just 44 minutes and 30 seconds, which I am told is the record run across the desert between Tonopah and Goldfield. I like the town and the people are the sportiest I have met. Tex Rickard is the gamest sport I've had any dealings with. Nelson Glad Fight Is to a Finish. “I'm glad it is to be a finish fight, and whether it goes ten or a hun- dred rounds you will see some real fighting. We accepted your offer two hours after it was received. Although Graney offered $40,000, with a bonus of $5000, we stuck to our agreement with your club. They may say what they like about Nolan in San Francisco, but he is the squarest manager on the continent. . “I shall settle down to hard work at once. I am in first-class shape anyway and will have no trouble gettting into prime condition. It will be the biggest fight ever held and the biggest purse ever offered. This is the gamest camp I ever heard of. If I've taken the right hunch along the line there will be the biggest crowd here that ever bought tickets to the ring- side.” Many Present at Signing of Articles. The articles of agreement were signed by Nelson, Gans and Rickard at 5:25 o’clock this afternoon in a_back room of the John S. Cook Bank at a meeting which was convened about 3 o'clock and which was attended by the principals, Nolan acting for Nelson, Larry Sullivan looking out for Gans' interests. Several members of the promoting club, members of the banking firm and newspaper men made up the group. Several photographs were taken and the men then settled down to business. 3 hand paid by the other parties, the is hereby mutually and parties hereto agree as follows: Tke dollars ($30,000) for a giove contest said contest. the following terms and conditions: First—Marquis of Queensberry rules test; five (5) ounce gloves. sufficiency. of mouth only. The question of gloves caused some discussion, but their choice was| left to the club. They are to be five ounces in weight. A storm of argu- ment was raised over the question of breaking and the right of the referee to use his hands in separating the men. Gans bet Nelson $100 that Referee McGuigan used his hands in separating the men in the Nelson-McGovern six-round bout in Philadelphia last March. Gans Offers to Bet His Share of Purse. Decision of this bet was left to Tad Dorgan, to whom a wire was sent. The presence of this clause in the articles depends on his reply. Gans laconically thanked Nolan for the opportunity to fight for the championship and offered to bet his $10,000 sha,re of the purse at even mioney on the re- sult. Nolan accused Gans of putting ammonia on Sullivan’s gloves in the Nelson-Sullivan fight. Gans retained his good nature until the last, when mutual recriminations were exchanged. 3 Each man was willing to leave the choice of referee to his opponent or to the club. Nolan and Gans suggested a dozen refere i HIS agreement made and entered into this 11th day of August, A.
