TRENUOUS denial is made by the Goldfield sportsmen of the stories telegraphed out of the| Nevada mining town which| made Billy Nolan take on the guise| of a hold-up man.

By ¢‘Billy®>® Nolan. OLDFIELD, Aug. 12.—Everything is in readiness for the boys to begin training. The Goldfield Club will select the referee, and the $5000 posted by the principals binds both parties to abide by any referee selected. George Gardner and Jack Clifford will be with Nelson at once. Later on additional training partners will join the camp. Wednesday will see the Battler housed in comfortable training quarters. The first week will consist of slow work, just enough to acclimate him, Boxing will not begin until the second week. - "Tennis Champions Meet Defeat ured in one of the best matches at the park. While Long won in straight sets, the contest was anything but one-sided. Long took the first set quite handily, but the second was as close as one could want. Long finally won by a score of 11-9.

It proved a disastrous day for the champions, all three being beaten. Coast Champion George Janes was defeated twice, first by Grant Smith and then by State Champion Herbert Long.

Clarence Griffin caused genuine sur- piise by beating Charles Foley in straight sets on the park courts. Foley did not play as well as usual, while Griffin showed remarkable form.

EL MONTE, Aug. 12.—The event of the automobile meet today was a match race between the 40-45 horse-power Packard car, 1906 model, owned by William H. Hanson of Redwood City and driven by his chauffeur, M E. Silva, and a four-cylinder Cadillac owned by Cuyler Lee or San Francisco, 1907 model, rated at thirty horse-power and operated by Arthur Hull. The dis- tance was five miles on the Del Monte race track from a standing start. The stake was $25 a side. The race was won by the Packard, which covered the first mile in 1:34, the second in 1:21, the third in 1:21, the fourth in 1:21 and the fifth in 1:20; total 6:57. The Cadil- lac’s tinje for the flve miles was 7:04. Hull got the worst of the start and was beaten by a margin of seven sec- g GUESTS. A onds. S. G. Buckbee acted as judge and R. R.

From the present outlook, not more than fifteen horses will go to the post. This year's Futurity, it is estimated, will be worth $50,000. Out of the 130 two-year-old colts and fillles that are eligible not more than the number stat- ed will start. The reason that so few will go to the post is bacause the crop of youngsters this season has not shown high qualities. With one or two excep- tions, the eligibles are a poor lot. It is a remarkable fact that the best colt and the best filly that have shown in public to date, Salvidore and Court Dress, are ineligible. The former was not nominated this year by the late Captain S. S. Brown, and James R. Keene, (or some unaccountable reason, failed to enter the dam of the latter. A close study of the choicest of the horses that are engaged for this classic reveals that James R. Keene's entry has the best chance to win. He has already won eleven stakes with his two-year- olds;, all of which have been beaten, except Court Dress, by Salvidore. Clever trainers who have watched the early morning spins of his youngsters declare that his best horses have not been seen in public yet. ‘These men say that in %rimaldi and Pope Joan he has two youngsters that are much faster than any he has sent to the post this year. The men who seem to have the be: chance to win this big event are Thomas Hitchcock Jr. and John A. Madden, who own jointly Conville, r'antastic and Golf | gy Ball. The first named is the main re- liance of Hitchcock and Madden. As that youngster will carry only 119 pounds he has an excellent chance to land the prize. Jack Atkin will carry the hopes of the Western contingent. This colt was a stable-mate o. Horace E. Both were bred and owned by Barney Schreiber of St. Louis, who sold Horace E to Roy |12, Rainey for $25,000.: Schreiber has al- ways maintained that Atkin was the better colt at a long distance. Horace E is fast, but he will have to improve on his one showing here to convince horsemen that he has a chance to win. SEATTLE SELECTIONS. By Fred E. Mulholland.
