THE EVENING WORLD. FRIDAY, 1908. _ MAY 22, UP TO DATE AND NEWSY THE BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK EDITED BY ROBERT EDGREN That Gans-Nelson Affair to; Take Place at Colma on July 4 Will Be Like the Real Old Stuff. Say What! two great world’s championship Matches have been made within a day of each other. This week has been a record-breaker. First, Bur signs for the fight with Johnson leaving it up to the big Zulu to make! good all of his bluffs and come to, time; then Gans suddenly comes to, terms with Battling Nelson and signs} a forty-five-round contest instead of the twenty rounds for which he has been holding out. Gans and Nelson have been hang-! ing tive for a long time. Neither one, to tell the truth, has tripped over his own feet in anxiety to chase the other fellow into a corner, Neither one has forgotien by any means that terribly gruelling forty-two rounds at Goldfield. What a contrast Willle Britt 1s to Bill Nolan, former manager of the Dane! Nolan would have been hag- Bling yet, and then some. Britt merely came into the august presence of James T has been many moons since Coffroth, promoter, and Selig, repre- sentative of Joe G: Proposed terms cf the contest were/ Jam fead, curtly declined Gans's offer of a $,000 side ‘bet and slapped his signa- ture to the articles. W he reflection of Battling’ Nel- son's willingness to settle all Questions with Gans now and forever. Nelson has had plenty of time to think things over since the Goldfield fight. Gans, being of a willing frame of mind, too, wasted no time in de- ananding preposterous terms. Both men understood what terms would be ac- cepted; neither beat about the bush. In all, a state of affairs that guaran- tees no bluffing and a red-hot fight when they do come together at Colma. | Make no mistake—this will be a fight. | * have taken a slip or two | back since he entered the ring with Gans on that ‘a:no s day. In fact, tt might be sald that Gans shoved him, for no fizhter Hving ¢- take Gans's Wallops for forty-two rounds without | @n after effect. As for Gans, probably the constant digging into his vitals that formed the greater part of Nelson's fighting did him no ‘permanent good.
