' "I think- wa have convinced ' most I
people that ths fight will be oa thai
level," said Tex Rickard to the writer
today. "From the moment we got Nel
son snd Gsns together and outlined our
plans snd proposals to them none of us
hers on ths ground bad any misgivings
ss to. ths sqnareneas of -the affair.
Gaaa, who waa supposed to be the reel

him he said: .
"Why, Mr. Rickard, even If I waa in

before I'd sttempt to) do anything wrong
here. Why, they'd kill me."
"I may ssy, however, thst I sm firmly

"In our conference with Slier It may
occur to him that hs wss never talked

question of Seller's integrity. What we

of Judgment. We will impress upon him
thst in this, our first, ring event, we
went It to go out to the world that there
was not a particle of favor shown
toward either the white boy or the coon.

' Above sll ws want him to be par
ticularly watchful in reapect to fouls.
Ws don't like fouls. Of course, 1 there
Is no svolding a foul sometimes when
men ere fighting fiercely, but we went
to - have an underatandlng with Slier
that if one of tbeee men commits a
deliberate foul In order ta avoid being
knocked out or to and the contest when
hs sees no chance of winning, such man
la not to receive one eent of the purse
money." - ' -i'' -.:
"And . whit ' would ' become of ths
loser's end of the purae if Slier decided
the man lost on aa intentional .loulT"
was asked.
"It would be turned over to oharlty,"
aald Rickard. "Both man ' understand
the proposition snd are witling to abide
by it. I talked with Nolan personally
on the subject snd hs ssld If Nelson
commits sny Intentional foul snd loses
the fight, thereby, he d&n't went a' cent
or the aa,oae.''.
Slier Is expected Mondsy snd then
the promotera will go Into session with
hlrn over, the points named. It is pos
alble that the veteran referee will be
amused st ths crude Idess of ths Gold
field promoters, but he cannot fall to
be Impreaeed with their determination
to carry out their Labor day program
so that there will be no chance for a

. Each of ths fighters did a full day's
work. .. Nelson wss on ths road In ths
morning. In ths afternoon be strutted
around In the open air for a while, his
object being-to sccustom himself to the
glare of the desert sun. - Hs shadow
boxed for about IS minutes and then
wrestled with Bob Lundle, after which
the pair had four rounds of hard and
fast boxing Indoors. . . . '
1 Nelson seems to have Improved his
knowledge" of boxing. In the old daya
when training for the Britt fight Lundle
used to make an even thing of It with
the Battler when they bad their after
noon apars at - Colma. . But yeatarday
Nelsoa got In at least three punches to
his opponent's one. He paid soms at
tention to defensive work, a now thing
for him, and It occurred to me that he
must be keeping In .mind ha la to tackle
one of the greatest ring generals the
lightweight claas has known and is
drilling himself accordingly. Manager
Nolan explains Nelson's Improved work
with ths gloves by saying that slnoe the
eaatest with Jaltt Melees, has beea boa
tng oonatantly with ths best men to be
found sll through ths United statss.
Gana went 10 miles on the road this
morning and put In an hour of mixed
exercise In tha gymnsslum la ths after
noon. Each man weighed under IIS at
ths close of his work.
Wnea rigHt Starts.
Thers Is a dlsputs In progress as to
the hour at which the men are to begin
fighting. Gans claims.- that while the
articles sst forth that I o'clock Is ths
hour for the final -welrhhrg in. there is
nothing In ths agreement to ths effect
that the oonteat Is to begin Immediately
after weighing. Gans Insists thst hs
will not sntsr ths ring to fight until 4
o'clock, while Nolan claims ths spirit
of ths srtlcles Is thst ths fight should
begin Just after tha S o'clock weighing.
He aaya further It was so understood.
"I have already warned Mr. Rickard
thst I do not intend to fight before 4
o'clock," said Gans. There Is-nothing
in ths articles to compel me to tight
earlier. ..Nolan may kick about It, but
I don't mind that It is not because I
want to eat after I welsh. I would be
well under 111 for that matter. I will
light very , close to 110 pounds '
Lsrry Sullivan sides with Gsns to ths
extent of saying that ths srtlcles do not
make it Imperative for the men to enter
the ring and fight Just after tha S
o'clock weighing. At ths same time
-Sullivan admits that' there wae an
understsndlng thst ths fight should
begin as soon sfter I as the pugilists
could . bs gottsn ready. Sullivan be
lieves It wul be about 111 when the
contest begins. -

was thoroughly understood that the
preliminary event between Jack Clifford
snd Bob - Lundls wss to begin at I

I suppose when It Is pointed out. to
Gans thst his Interests In ths moving
pictures will' be effected If he dbes not
sgres to hsvo ths contest called while
the-sun Is comparatively high he. will
gracefully capitulate. As "he says hs
does not wsnt to sst sftsr weighing, his

In and. out nature of his paat - per

win Gans furnishes such a splendid
exhibition ' of rlngmanahlp that tha
lovers of ths Queensberry game quickly
forgive ths lspses he has been guilty
of and merely keep In mind the ster

possesses. i
. It Is plain as daylight Ha any ens
who happens along where a bunch of
Gans supporters are discussing the out
look that tha opinion pre valla that oans
can do much better than hs haa dons
st sny time during ths past year. .
Holly may have beea given to Hug
ging too much and Lewis may have
caught Baltimore . Joe out of . "nick,"
and all that sort of thing, but ths av
erage Gans msn puts suoh .lights . out
of mind entirely when sising up tns
chanoea of the coming affair at -Gold-

whlls Gans has hod his best fight bot
tled up for the benefit of Bittllng Nel 1
ion or Jimmy Britt. whlchsvsr of ths
twain happened to be hla opponent In
a world a championship match.

The aporta wbo argue along these
lines appsar to believe that for. 11
months or mors Joa haa been betwixt
the devil and the deep blue. Ha has
hsd to fight to keep tha wolf from the
door. So aa to glvs substance to his
professions of reformstlon hs has bad
to do well enough to prevent tha scan
dalmongers crying . "fake" and at ths
same tlms hs bss been haraaied with
the fear that If he performed too bril
liantly the Dans and ths Natlvs Son
would ksep further aloof from .him than
aver. '
Well, If that was ths way of It there
Is no need for further dissimulating.
Jos has got what hs , craved for a
match with tha Durable Dane, and
tbs doubled-yelked question, 'Is Gans
as good as ever and haa hs been under
a. wrapt should' bs ssttled conclu
sively on Labor day. j
Larry M. Sullivan, one of Goldfisld's
fight promoters and at present manager
of Joaeph Gans, Is displaying conald
