He offers to put six bulls out of their misery while any other two men are dlsposing of one. Both Gans and Nelson are anxiously | waiting a reply from New York regard- ing their bet over the refereeship. On this decision rests the right of the referee in the coming contest to use his hands in separating the fighters, and both feel that the question is a | mentous one. Nolan and Nelson spent most of the day riding around in an auto, hunting for training quarters. They have not made their selection as yet, The leading business men, bankers nd brokers of Goldfield have issued everal hundred invitations to brokers and business men all over the country to attend the fight at their expense. | Acceptance has been received by the L. | M.

Continues to Increase Day by Day. BY W. J. SLATTERY. OCAL, interest In the coming Gans-Nelson contest at Goldfield is in- ¢ creasing as the days roll by. Now that the articles of agreement have beeg signed, the local sports are beginning to wake up. Every one who follows the game of fisticuffs {s figuring and scheming regarding ways and means to make the trip to the Nevada mining_camp on Labor day. Every man who ‘has any clalm to the exalted name of & “true sport” will be there unless the railroads go out of commission in the meantime. Harry Corbett will head a party of one hundred that will leave here in a speclal car on Saturday evening, September 1. The car has already been chartered and one hundred real fight fans have handed in their names and esked for reservations. Corbett and other long-headed ones realize that hotel accommodations In Goldfield will not be the best in the world. Therefore they have decided to use their special car as a living place. A diner will be attached, so the San Fran- cleco sports will invade the land of the sagebrush with all the comforts the San Francisco market affords. Corbett will wire Manager Rickard today and reserve one hundred of the best seats in the pavillon for his party. Corbett has been informed that the cholce pasteboards are vanishing rapidly, so he concluded to met busy at once. WELL-KNOWN SPORTS WILL BE AT THE RINGSIDE. In Corbett's party will be some of the best known sporting men in the city. Among the enthusiastic ones are Tom James, Joe Corbett, Martin Brady, Bllly Jordan, George Lowenthal, Tim McGrath and a host of others who have never been known to miss a fight. As all are of a speculative nature, there is likely to be some heavy betting when they arrive in Nevada. Every one 1s anxious to see the referee question settled. All along the line the same query {#being asked many hundred times an hour: “Who do you think will referee the big fight?” This will no doubt be settled quickly now, for the task rests with the;club, and as the men who are at the head of that organization have shown a great deal of speed in arranging the other detalls it is likely they will sustain their gait and name the third man in the ring when the appointed hour arrives. As both Gans and Nelson have so many admirers here, the betting will no doubt be of the brisk order before many more days elapse. The question of odds has not been deétermined as yet. On form, Gans should be on the long end, but you never cén tel} how the San Francisco sports will act when it comes to putting up money on the outcome of a ring battle. They are very erratic. If they like a man they will bet on him, no mat- ter how the odds are. In several past fights local men have been made heavy favorites over Eastern performers, though theré was nothing to justify this save the feeling toward the home lad. NELSON HAS HOSTS OF ADMIRERS IN THIS CITY. Nelson has always brought home the money here with the exception of one occasion, and there are a gréat many who claim he should have had it then. A consistent performer always takes with the San Francisco bettors. They are generally loyal to him and will risk their money on him till he goes down to defeat. 3 Nelson has won the confidence of the local sports, and naturally there is going to be a heavy play on him. His past record has been so clean that every one trusts him: He has proved a meal ticket for many a man in days gone by, and these sports will rally for him this time just as they did in the past. @ - Gans, on the other hand, has been mixed up in. h many shady transactions that a great many people have lost confidence in liim, especially from a betting standpoint. However, the more conservative sports believe that the Baltimore wonder will fight on the level this time and make the showing of his life when he faces the Battling Dane on Labor day. That the fight will receive the full support of the San Francisco public is assured. Everybody seems to be in a boosting mood and they all have the same comment to make: “You have to hand it to that fellow Rickard for land. l1ng the soods.

Maccomb~ er, was third. Throughout the race it was a battle between the Spokane and the Windrim Kid, the Hayseed passing the latter in the last three miles. There were seventeen starters In th: race, which was the first of the serie | of five races to decide the champion- ship of the Eastern Yacht Club in se- leeting three American boats to defend the Roosevelt cup against the three German challengers for the German- American championship. The contest, was sailed over a triangular course of' fifteen miles, five fhiles to a.leg and of the seventeen starters sixteen crossed the finish line, the Cod dropping out on the first leg when she carried away her spreaders. | The Spokane tacked around the first | mark at 12:41:55 with the Windrimy |5 seconds behind her. Several boats set balloon jibs for the race to the see- | ond mark, but the two leaders stuck to their small jits and for a while they had a sharp lufing match. Slowly the Windrim Kid gained on the Spekane and within fifty yards of the second mark she blanketed the boat and jibbed| |around the mark at 1:38:10. The Spo- kane was several seconds behind her with spinnakers to starboard they slid toward the finish line. | The Spokane drew quickly past her rival and finished the race one minute seconds ahead of the Hayseed III. which in the meantime had beaten the Windrim Kid out.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. | ; | LONDON, Aug. 13.—Harvard and Cambridge oarsmen enjoyed a full | day's rest today, their oniy efforts be- | Ing a journey to the Leander Club at | Henley, where they were guests of Lord Desborough at luncheon. English rowing experts, although unanimous in the necessity of hygienlo care during the training season, are | inclined to look with some disapproval | on the strictness at the Harvard tabl and the general training routine. | The English dietary idea is a proper assimilation of foods, allowing as wide a range in choice as is consistent with health principles. Foods which have a tendency to put on welght are the only ones over which a particular supervi- sion and prohibition is exercised. Puff- ing a pipe, if done in moderation, is! not considered harmful. Individual | cases, however, require stricter lation, but the genmeral English ti ing scheme does not differ essentially,! provided that any individual proposes to keep In good health. The Cambridge boat seems to ecut through the water more smoothly, while fts men work together more evenly. Some critics say that Cam- bridge is a better crew than when it defeated Oxford. The Americans a such a powerful set that they ha made a decided impression upon the minds of those speculatively inclined, | and odds of 6 to 4 have been offered! on them. Copsidering the style, experience and past achlevements of the two er'wg’ such odds are not justified, as Cam- bridge has the best of the lfil’ht af- ference. Harvard's physique, however, | 39| ,ught to count in a hard finish, for the men look able to stand aay| amount of hard work. But the/ chances of victory over such a crew as Cambridge is not represented by & to 4. An early lead gainmed by either' will be difficult to overcome. With about three more weeks vf actual work ahead, the situation is like this: Harvard, with a good mg has the advantage in physique; Cam-! 'bridge, with good physique, has thel advantage in style and experfemce. —_—— MANY CALIFORNIA HORSES Golden State Will Be Well Represented When Racing Starts at Readville.
