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.

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.

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

SCOTT REMOVED BY COURT
Will Xot Continue as Administrator
of Janscn Estate.
In the matter of the estate of Ru
dolph Janeen, deceased. Judge Webster
decided to recomve R. O. Scott, adminis
trator of the estate, and to appoint E.
M. Cederberg In his stead. Rudolph
Jansen was killed In a street-car acci
dent at East Twenty-eighth and
East Gllsan greets and Mr. Scott and
his attorney, H'K. RIddell. settled with
the Portland Consolidated Railway
Company for 52500. Recently Axel
Herman Jansen. a brother of the de
ceased, and acting as attorney In fact
for the father, who Is In Sweden, came
here to settle the estate and made a
contract with Mr. Ruff In, an attorney
of South Bend. The brother alleges that
Mr. Ruffln took advantage of him,
and Judge Webster decided that he
has no jurisdiction to decide that Ques
tion, and had nothing to do with any
contract Axel Herman Jansen made
with Ruffln. It was not done through
the court, and outside of court the heir
oould do what he pleased with the es
tate fund. Judge Webster In his deci
sion alludes to the fact that both Mr.
Scott and Mr. RIddell wrote to Axel
Herman Jansen advising him about the
estate and asking his co-operation. He
received the letters but when he came
hero did not call oh either of them,
out went to Ruffln.
Judge Webster declined to interfere
with the contract made by the admin
istrator with RIddell to give him 50
per cent of the sum received from the
railroad company. He held the ques
tion of attorney's fees was not now
before the court, but might be consid
ered at the time of the hearing of the
final account. Scott , was removed "as
administrator because he was a strang
en to those concerned In the estate, and
because they requested the appoint
ment of Mr. Cederberg.
