THE MORNING OBEGONIAJC, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1905. IE SUSPECTS BRITT Bat Masterson Doubts Fight Is on the Square. CITES SIGNIFICANT FACTS Sudden nop of Corbett and Weedon and $10,000 Side-Bet Cause Suspicion Nelson's 3Ian agcr Objects to Jeff. CHICAGO, Sept C (Special.) Ac cording to Bat Mastferson, the Nelson Brltt fight does njt look right. Here 1$ his argument on the subject: "The sudden flopping of Young Cor bett on the outcome of the Britt-Nel-son battle, which is to take place be fore the Colma Athletic Club" on Sep tember 9, has more significance than appears on the surface. Toung Corbett is now of the opinion that Britt -will win and Is willing to back up his opin ion -with his money. Corbett is no fool and sometimes gets In possession of the very best stable Information. Now comes his present manager, George "Weedon, who also declares that Brltt will surely beat Nelson. Weedon Is an astute chap, who can tell when a chicken is fat as well as the next fellow. "What appears to me rather strange Is the" suddenness with which those two men have changed their minds on this all-important contest. Every one familiar with ring usages knows that Brltt wb in a position to dictate the terms of a return match with the fight ing Dane. What pugilist will engage to battle forty-five rounds when he can get as much for fighting twenty? It cannot be that Brltt questions Nel son's ability to go a Journey. The bat tler certainly gave no evidence that he could not go as far as Brltt when they last met-in the ring. "Then, again, how about this $10,000 side bet and winner-take-all clause that is being made so much of in Frisco? Is that Bnltt or could "it pos sibly be Brltt, If everything is right and on the level? "Why, then, should n person be blamed for having a deep-seated sus picion that everything about this match looks queer and has a flBhy odor? I do not for one moment wish it understood that Nelson is in on any crojked deal. The match looks all rjght, so far as he Is concerned, which is Just the reverse of Britt's condition." XOIiAX OBJECTS TO JEFFRIES Will Not Have Jeffries Referee. Suspects Tampering With Nelson. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5. Whe James J. Jeffries today telegraphed from Los Angeles that he would ac cept the offer of $1000 to referee the Brltt-Nelson fight next Saturday, It was believed that the last obstacle to holding the match had been removed, but tonight a new trouble arose, or rather an old trouble broke out afresh. Billy Nolan, the manager of Nelson, declared that he would not consent in any circumstances to Jeffries' umpiring the fight. Nolan strongly opposed Jeffries before the toss of a coin de cided the long controversy over the selection of referee and he has ap parently seized the earlier refusal of Jeffries to act as an opportunity to force a change. Nolan telephoned from Colma this evening that he would come to San Francisco to consult with Britt's broth er and the club managers, and a con ference was arranged for a late hour tonight. Britt and the club favor Jeffries and another drawback Is a possibility. Nolan, it is said, has lately become excitable and distrustful, and among other things that caused gossip he has installed his wife as cook at Nelson's training quarters. Although little or no explanation has been given for the need of Mrs. Nolan at the camp, It is rumored that Nolan wishes to be fully assured that there Is no likelihood of Nelson's food being tampered with. CUTS THE PRICE IN BAXF Jeffries Finally Comes to His Senses. Will Referee the Fight. Some one must have whispered to Jim Jeffries that retired champiens are not worth $2000 as referees and the latest dispatch from the ex-Los Angeles boiler maker, is that he will hand down a de cision in the case of Brltt vs. Nelson for $1000. There was a time In Jeffries' career, and not so many years backs at that, that he would have been glad to have been a towel-wieldcr at such an Im portant event as that which Is carded for Saturday afternoon. Since Jeff cuffed all of the big fellows into submission he has feathered himself a financial nest, but he Is like the kidney of 1I those who have gone before him a few paltry thousand dollars have made gllbbcring idiots out of them. Jeffries was glad to referee the Root-Hart fight for $1000, which, by the way. was Just $500 more than be earned. When Nel son's manager began to stall around for a referee, the big ex-champion was se lected and he was wired for terms. Jim my Coffroth, who Is managing this big show Is one of the freest fellows on earth with his money and when he give a show, money does not stand In the way of Its success. Jeffries remained silent. In his usual pedantic way he wanted the fighters share of the receipts and a slice of what the management would make. The big rivet-smasher thought by remaining silent he would get what he was after. $2000. but when th nrooo Via- ?an talking about George Slier. Jeffries oKe up, ana cut the price down to $1000. Britt Finishes Training. SAN FRAN CISCO. Sent S "Rrlft begun the tapering-off process, and has cut out morning road work. He boxed this afternoon for th.last time before entering the ring next Satur day. He is in the pink of condition. Nelson weighed 135 pounds this morning, and was thoroughly satisfied with his condition. Unlike Britt, he will not cease regular work until Friday. REFEREE REVERSES HIMSELF ' First Awards Fight to Wille, Then r to Schreck. , SALT LAKH CITY, Sept. 5.-After giv ing his first decision In favor of John Wllle, of Chicago, over Mike Schreck, of Cincinnati, the referee. WJllard Bean, af terward reversed himself and awarded the match to Schreck, declaring all bets off. The contest was held In the saucer track in a rain storm. Up to the tenth round, Wille had the advantage. Then Wille hit Schreck low and the latter claimed he was unable to continue. It. had been agreed that neither was to take a decision on a foul. Accordingly the ref eree v decided in WIllc's favor. He was Immediately urronded by backers of Schreck, and afterward pronounced Schreck the winner, but canceled the "bets..

HANLON WINS ON A FOUL BAY CITY LAD HAD THE BEST OF THE ARGUMENT. Willie Fitzgerald, of Philadelphia, Makes a Poor Showing at Xos Angeles. LOS ANGELES, Sept. B. Eddie Hanloa, of San Francisco, won from Willie Fitz gerald, of Philadelphia, tonight on a foul In the seventh round. When the foul was committed Hanlon apparently had Fitzgerald beaten. From the second until the seventh round the San Francisco boy gradually wore Fitzgerald down with his terrific body punches. Fitzgerald looked drawn, and apparently had trouble In making the weight. After the first round he did not show to much ad'antage. although landing many right and left blows on Hanlon's face and head. They were all lacking In force, and did not for a moment stop Hanlon In his con tinual forcing of the pace. In the seventh and last round Fitzgerald struck very low, and Spider Kelly, Han lon's second, promptly claimed a foul, which Referee Eyton promptly allowed, and declared Hanlon the winner. In the opinion of those who were seated close to the ringside, there was no doubt that Fitzgerald committed a foul. Fitz gerald strenuously denied that he intend ed to foul Hanlon, and was very sorry that tbe fight had ended as It did. No Game at San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.

DIE5TRTOT0 NH Sadie Mac, Canadian JQueen Race Horses. of IN RACE FOR CHARTER OAK Tragedy Prevents Completion of Great Event at Hartford An giola and Zephyr Tied for First Place. , HARTFORD. Conn., Sept. 5. The open ing day of the grand circuit races at Charter Oak Park ended la a tragedy, when Sadie Mac. the Canadian queen, dropped dead in the fourth heat of the 510,000 Charter Oak trot, the classic event of the meet. She fell about 200 yards from the finish when making a desperate ef fort to regain a lead whloWshe gallantly held until rounding the last turn. Sadie Mac seemed to have lost her strength Juk at the period when her driver was urging her to do her best, but she was exhausted, and, dropping to the track, rolled over dead. A veterinary surgeon attributed -death to a broken blood ves sel, and horsemen who had been watching her declared that she had acted strangely all the afternoon. At the tragic climax hundreds of men thronged on the track, and when Miss Katherlne Wilkes, of Galt, Ont., the owner, who was In a private box, heard of the horse's death, she was deeply affected and left the cjty. She refused $30,000 for the mare at the Buffalo meet. . The finishes In tho Charter Oak event were heartbreaking, and the heavy con dition of the track made It hard work for the horses. Darkness prevented the finish of the big event, after Angiola and Zephyr had each won two heats. The big "crowd of 6W0 was keyed up to a high pitch when the fourth heat was finished. Zephyr was In great form In the first two heats, which were won In whipping finishes, but tired under the strain, and Angiola finished In front In tho third and fourth In dashing style.
