He thinks he has found out what Is food W the-llne of boxing vents and he Intends ta bold fast to It. He has hi eye- on - another - Gans- TEX RICKARD NOT ANXIOUS Nelsori event, and. Ilka the baby bal-tfcy ancea on trie rim or tha bath tub, he won't be thoroughly happy unless he Sets it - "I would Ilk to feature Jeffries all right, but who la there to pair with hlrar said Tex to the writer an evening r two ago. - "One swallow does not make a sum mer, and one world-beater does not con stitute match. - Squire may- be gen tleman, enough tor Jeffries and so may O'Brien or Burns, putting It to test Is an awful risk. I am not egotistical, but I consider that I was a pretty good Judge of a ring attraction before I sug gested to tha . business -men of Gold. t leld that we ought to bid for Clans and Nelson. The contest the men put up confirmed ray judgement,- I believe that the next affair between them will be more desperate still, and If liberal Inducements will secure It X will land the match. I feel a personal Interest and to a certain extent a personal re sponsibility so far as theeja,uestion of superiority In the ease of Gans and Nel son Is concerned. I was the first to in duce the boys to battle, and In a way It eeems to ma this entitles me to have a hand In bringing them together a sec ond time. The decision In the last bout rhlle a perfectly, fait .one. JeftTOom Cot argument - ' - How People Argne. ' . "You will find fellows who think that the foul was an unfortunate event for Nelson, as he might have won had he HUt fUlllllllUcd It You 11 riiij ethers who arsue that there was no foul at alL Anyhow, there Is a difference of opin ion, and that Is where my feeling of re- ponsibllity comes in. Having' started . the tair of them fighting for the big' grest honor la the lightweight class, I think I have a right to stay wlthhem aOljsne .ofherajRlnslnf ucha way as to leave the entire sporting public of one mind on the subject." Rlckard. by the way, does not purpose Pitching the Gans-Nelson ring in uom field next time. Tex has large Interests " at Ely, tha new copper camp In Nevada, and If his plans go tnrougn ne win bring the lightweight together at Ely m the afternoon of next Fourth of July, ire has already sounded the railroads n the matter of transportation and has aecldedlhat lt would Jaeasyto ..run excursions from Salt Lake as well as from California and Nevada points. .- "Do yon firmly believe that both men are eager to have another fight V I asked Rlckard. ' . -. i - Oans Xa Willing. ' ... "So far as I can Judge Gans Is per fectly willing," said Tex. "When a re wira match was first spoken of Joe re fused to consider It unless the articles called for weight taking several hours before entering the ring. Now he has waived that He is wtlling to box Nel adn at ringside weight The one thing be sticks out for is that he shall receive t per cent of the purse, win, lose, or draw. He oontends that he had to yield to Nelson In that way In the other fight and says he Is bound to get bla own beck. As for Nelson, I will defer my Judgment until I see how he acta Gans lias told me that I can count on him any time. If Nelson shows equal willing : ftess the balance of my task will be easy." .. Rlckard says that the-residents of Ely will contribute a 130,000 purse for the contest which Is equal to tha amount , the men boxed for at Goldfleld. It will -remain" for the' ftlfhtema decide Tiow the money will be .divided. If there Is a hitch over the apportionment It If believed that Rlckard will try to pour oil on the troubled waters, add that he will give Nelson a personal guarantee that should satisfy the Dane, that Is, tinless Nelson, as some people think, ties not the remotest Idea of becoming embroiled with Gans a second time. ------ Kelson U ' Abroad. ' ' Nelson la In London at present Judg ing from a clipping to hand, he has Impressed the English sports with ths belief that he was victimized In the bout at Goldfleld. He has told every body across the water that Gans "quit cold," and that Slier decided in Gans' favor' on a foul that did not occur, and - ait,.- nnnlA -m- hl u,K If 11 Willi.,, ' J v - - - - - really did occur. But "what will they y in England when the news is wafted across the water that Gans is perfectly willing to give- Nelson satls-n XaCllOn, ana initl neiauii, vj m wwh actions. Is not quite sure he wants it? About the only thing now In Gans Britt circles Is that Mike Riley of To riopah has spoken angry words over the doubts cast upon his ability to carry through his March program. Riley, who was at Beat tie recently, said San Fran Cisco was "knocking" him because Ne vada put San Francisco out of business as fight oenter. , This Is an undeserved slap at poor old San Francisco. - The sports of this bnrg have warmed tip to tha Gans-Biitt encounter In good shape, a statement which Is borne -out by the fart that great number of excursion parties have been made up for the trip to Tonopah at St Patrick's time. 0.

' THIS YEAR'S TENNIS-BALLS COME AT LAST After a .watt of a full month by the members of the Indoor Tennis club, the 107 balls have at last arrived, and the Indoor season will begin at tmoe. The balls are the fastest that Wright and Ditson have Issued for several years and will be especially good for, the wooden floor courts.. The balls will be out at tha club courts at tha fair grounds this morning and a large at tendance of the members is expected. The executive board will try to get to gether today-and arrange for a tourna ment to begin either next. Sunday-or the Sunday following. The plan is to hold a iiandlcap singles tournament first and to play all tournaments off within two or three weeksr Members will have the option of playing their matches off on week days, but If they are not played by the time fixed by the schedule they, will be promptly de faulted. , FIGHT PROMOTERS ARE V GETTING VERYW1SE With the fight promoters at Gold fleld,, Rhyollta and Tonopah gradually becoming wise to the fact that there is no money' to be made In offering big purees for poor attractions, another set of fight fans, located at Reno, Nevada, have bobbed up with an alleged. $10,000 offer for a fight between Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and Al Kaufmann, the Cali fornia heavyweight O'Brien beat Kaufmann Inst year In Frisco, so. that another meeting .would not ereate much excitement, The Reno offer consequent ly looks ss If somebody was trying to make a gift of real money to O'Brien, who, for that matter, may have a finger In the pie himself. O'Brien likes soft marks and Kaufmann Is as soft as any of them. If Tommy Burns should put over a finishing punch on O'Brien's Jaw, however. It would be a long tim before the Philadelphia boxer could induce any body, even the Reno people, to offer 810,000 for nlm to meet a third rator.

Dollle Dollars broke slowly and the whole field got away In frent of ber. Eudora took the lead and. Dugan rated her-with Judg ment. On the back stretch Grace G. moved' up alongside Eudora, and on the bend Miller sent her a couple of lengths ahead ot Eudora. Dugan mads a close turn Into the stretch, and though In the bad going next the rail, the filly had much more left than- Grace G. when It came to a drive.
