Kansas City at St. Paul. Indianapolis at Columbus. Toledo at Louisville. The Second Game. The second game started off with the millers coring as a result of a base on balls for Jones. A sacrifice by Friel helped Jones along and Freeman was down at first. Goodwin then is sued three passes in a row and Jones was forced home. Oyler left the bases full when he flew out. Milwaukee was blanked until the third, When Stoyall passed McChesney, who was forced out by Goodwin Robinson sent up a long high one and Davy Jones let It get thru him to roll to the fence Goodwin scored In the fourth Inning two singles, a triple and errors by Friel and Fox permitted three brewers to score. In the fifth two singles, a sacrifice and a fly-out scored Robinson and in the seventh the stars began to fall again. It started with a two bagger. A sacrifice, a base on balls and two singles allowed three more of the Oantillon colts to come home. Minneapolis made two in the sixth when Hemphill dropped Freeman's fly and Coulter followed with a two-bagger Marshall had re placed Kahoe when the latter split his thumb and "Father Bill" announoed bis presence with a two-bagger. Freeman and Coulter scored. A Dispute at Windup. Things progressed quietly until after Milwau kee had batted in the ninth inning. Then some one opened the bleacher gates oa the east Bide of the field and permitted the crowd to stream out upon the right field Oantillion re fused to agree to a ground rule of a two-bagger if the ball was knocked into the crowd and after a long wrangle the game was called "on account of darkness." The crowd had been dissatisfied with the work of Umpire Kane all the afternoon. Ad the grandstand seats were opened the crowd surged out on the field. Kane had started to the Minneapolis bench and the crowd followed bim. Some light-headed individual in the stand yelled "fight" and the big crowd In the out field took the cue and started running across the diamond toward the narrow exit of the grandstand. Looked Squally. It looked squally for a few minutes, but no one offered to strike the arbitiator Conflict ing reports are given of his departure from the park One version has it that he left in the Milwaukee bus and that the Milwaukee players were showered with stones Another report has it that Kane boarded a car, unmolested, and came down to the city without any dif ficulty. It was an ugly demonstration at best, bnt the umpire was right in calling the game if Cantillion refused to play. The mistake was in opening the gates and allowing spectators to gather on the field without first agreeing with Cantillion as to ground rules The scores of the games of yesterday are as follows: FIRST GAME.

The locals took the first game in splen flid style, but in the second contest the millers fell like a hired man plunging down the cellar staii-s with a bucket of coal Sievers pitched the first game and had the brewers at his mercy, allowing but four hits Stovall was the slab athlete in the second game and lost thru liber ality and the poor support" of his team mates The millers played fast baseball in the first contest. They scored twice in the sixth and twice in the eighth, after breaking the ice with a single score In the fourth. The brewers were shut out In prohibitive style, the play at times being sensational Jones had another Inning with the bat in the flist game and scored three of Minneapolis' eleven hits Coulter and Ojler drew two each and Friel and Fox were the only men who did not get a hit off Bateman's de livery. Fee and Oyler performed some fast stunts around the second-base district, and but one bungle marred the play. Totals.... 7 27 13 Louisville 0 Toledo 1 Woodruff 8b 1 Sullivan lb.

San Francisco, Sept. 11.The main question among followers of sport today is: "Who will meet Nelson next?" Most ring-goeis here are unanimous in the opinion that Nelson will not give Britt a return match, and they figure that it would do no good, for Britt showed he could not keep off the Dane's rushes Of all who have challenged NelsonHanlon, Herrera, Fitzgerald and Jimmy GardnerGardner is the only one who is thought to have a show of trimming the Dane. Gardner has a great reputation here because of his easy victories over Rufe Turner and. Buddy Ryan, two tough welterweights whom he whipped decisively. Gardner declares he can make 138 pounds, so it is probable he will be the one Coffroth will choose to meet Mr. Nelson. Britt Is "Sore." Jimmy Britt was feeling sore after the fight, but he talked plainly. He said "I do not wish to rob Nelson of any of the glory surrounding his victory I take off my hat to him. I have no apologies to offer. "But I will say that up to the time I re ceived the knockout punch on the Jaw in the eighteenth round I felt confident of winning. I was gradual!} regaining my strength when he caught me off my guard with the two terrific wallops that relieved me of my title "I was fighting under a great disadvantage' during the last eight rounds, as my bandages got loose and cramped my hands. Every time that I landed on the Dane after the tape was out of place it hurt my hands more than my blowB hurt my opponent. "I do not feel any the worse for wear. My mouth is a trifle sore, but outside of that I am feeling as well as ever. I am ready to meet Nelson again on exactly the- same terms, as I still feel that I am his master. I had him groggy several times during the course of the contest, and felt that eventually I would wear him down and land a knockout punch. "While I do not care to take any luster from my adversary's victory, I still think that if it had not been for the accident to my hands I would have been victor. I am not at all* discouraged and do not consider myself out of the race by a long shot." Battling Also Talking. Battling Nelson talked freely and gave some Interesting history on the fight He said "I knew all the time that I would win the fight With me it was only a question of what round I could be able to nail him in. Gee, but he stuck long and is certainly a game fellow. Britt fought a clean fight thruout, but I always knew he did not have the punch. Several times befoie the end came I thought I had him, but he proved thoroly game and weathered the storm until I wore him down. "For quite a while I did not use my right hand, not wanting to let him know early in the game what use I was going to make of it. Finally I cut loose with left and right upper cuts, and thej did Britt a lot of damage. "I don't know just what blows beat him. I guess they were all kinds I am not certain Just what hand I knocked him out with. I was swinging with both hands for the jaw when he dropped. I think, however, that the left to the Jaw was the last punch. None of hla punches really hurt me and at no time during the fight was I distressed In the fourth and fifth rounds I hurt my left band, and it pained for a while. After a little the pain passed away, and I was able to use it again. Plans for Future. "I have no plans outlined for the future. When Nolan and I get east we will determine on something I suppose, like all champions, I will be an actor for a while The hot office returns were more than dis appointing to the principals and the club man agers. Altho a $70,000 house was confidently expected, the returns were under half that sum. This is the way the profits will be divided: Total receipts, $34,069, Nelson's share, $18,- 286 81 Britt'a shaie, $8,868 04 club's share, $11,924.15 money received by both fighters, $22,144 85. VICTORY IN EIGHTEENTH Bight and Left to Jaw Settled the Oali fornian's Fate. San Francisco, Sept. 11.In a flght that -will long stand in a class of Its own in the history of rong contests, Battling Nelson, the Chicago Dane, knocked out James Edward Britt of San Francisco at Colma Saturday afternoon. The end came in the eighteenth round and was a clean-cut, fairly-won victory. It was a story of many another ring contest the success of the strong, sturdy, enduring fighter against a clever* cool boxer. From the very flist moment of the flght until Referee Graney finished the count in the eighteenth round of ten seconds Nelson forced the fighting. Though battered by Innumerable bruising blows on the face and body and at times very hard, Nelson never for one moment gave ground. He came back after every vicious attack by the clever Britt, always ready to exchange blows. For the rushing, forcing, persistent tactics of Nelson, Britt could find no effective counter. The Callfornian tried every blow known to him, and he apparently knows them all, to stop his tireK.ss opponent. In every way he failed. It is true Biitt punished Nelson se r^rely, knocking him down once and stagger ing him several timas, but never was he able to beat him back and change the aspect of the flght. Victory came to Nelson in the eighteenth ro'md the detail of which follows. Britt peppered Nelson with rights and lefts jo face Britt sent a right to jaw. Previously Nelson had scored with left twice to the body. Britt continued to hook right and left to Nel son's jaw and was met with a stiff left to stomach. Britt had just scored on Nelson's jaw when suddenly Nelson shot his left and right to B-itt' jaw like a flash. Britt went down like a dog, gasping for breath and with the blood coming from his mouth and nose. The fatal seconds were, counted out by Time keeper Harting. At the call of ten Britt made a feeble effort to rise, but immediately fell back utterly defeated. NORTHWEST BASEBALL ACMES 2, DONAHUES 1.

Peoria, 111., Sept. 11.Articles have been drawn up between Kid Farmer and Clarence Forbes to fight before the Riverside A. CT. onensembles Sept. 19. LEASED NEW ROOMS.' The Minneapolis Amateur Athletic association, formed recently with Trafford Jayne as presi dent and many of the moat- prominent men In the city as charter mebers. has leasesd three ^'floors of the building at 709 Hennepin avenue and will h,a.vo qt& W ^yaww^uHj, e^uipp^J gtj. THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL. 0RTINQ- P0TLWHT Jack London says that Nelson is the "abysmal brute.'' This little verbal handstand on the part of the man with the athletic vocabulary will glance off Nelson like water off a duck. If Nel son takes any notice of it at all he will attribute it to a feeling of pique over the licking of a native son.'' Just what right Referee Graney had in declaring off all the bets on the Britt-Nelson fight, made before his se lection as referee, is hard to under stand. The gamblers who risked their money on the outcome of the battle were betting on the mennot the ref eree. If everything was "o the square" Graney*s action was without reason or right. Graney should explain why he called off the bets made before his election. Minneapolis fans always have a fine time quarreling with Joe Cantillon. They were after Joseph Saturday and again yesterday. Joseph takes their abuse calmly and smiles at them. Then they get madder than ^ever and yell again. In this way he keeps the crowd yelling and the whoop-it-ups do not know that they are playing into the Milwaukee man's hands when they do so. When Clouter Coulter gets to drop ping fly balls there is no chance of the anillers mixing it up and winning. That was the blow that killed the fans in yesterday's walkaround. One loudmouthed individual delight ed himself yesterday afternoon by shouting "rotten eggs for the umpire," at the top of his lungs. Kane glanced at the offending section of the stand and the song died with the speed of lightning. It is one thing to talk rough, but quite another to make good in the action. The awful aftermath of the Britt Nelson battle comes in the fact that Joe Gans and Al fierford are out again and dancing in the limelight. Fight fans have not forgotten the McGovern deal of a few years ago, and the Britt mixup of later date. Gans has about as much of a following as a healthy rattlesnake. Followers of the fortunes of the go phers are loath to believe that Wiscon sin has protested Brush. The whole matter was threshed out at the confer ence and the opinion of Arbitrator Waldo would seem to be final. Locally it is not felt that Wisconsin is afraid of Minnesota this year. As Brush was never protested, but the affair taken to the conference by Minnesota the ad miring rivals of the badgers hardly thinklihey will countenance such action if it has been taken. HIGH POWE?

Baltimore, Md., Sept. 11.Joe Gans, the lightweight champion fighter, his manager, Al Herford, declared yesterday that the result of the Nelson-Brltt battle waB not what they had expected |t to be. Gana said that had Britt followed his usual clever style he would have won. "Britt is not a rugged fighter," said the champion, "and be waa never known to score a knockout. I believe it would have been impossible for him to have knocked out Nelson, but I believe he would have gone the limit and Britt would have won the decision, on points. Nelson could never have beaten Britt had not the latter fought him at his own game. Nelson at the start probably made Britt angry by punching him on the nose or some other irritating place and the 'Frisco lad must have lost his temper. He waded into the Chicago lad to the latter's lik ing and Nelson tx advantage of this and kept forcing matters with him. "Nelson scored on a clean aad decisive knock out, I'll admit, but he could never have done so had Britt kept his senses and stood bim off. It would have been a good bet that Britt would have worried Nelson so had he resorted to his hlt-and-get-away tactics that Nelson would have gone down on a chance blow from Britt. "Now that Nelson has defeated Britt I would like to have a chance with the victor. Nelson can claim the lightweight championship title all he pleases, but he will have to best me to make sure that he holds it I won the title firly and squarely from Frank Erne in May, 1901, at Fort Erie, Canada, and I have never been defeated. I believe that I am Nelson's master. When Sullivan fought Jimmy Britt on the coast only a few months ago, I tried to get on a match with Nelson, but the latter would not talk business with my manager. I will flght Nelson under any conditions he wants, but he will have to be square with me in the selection of the referee." Manager Al Herford, speaking for Gans, said that he would bet $5,000 to $4,000 that Gans can beat the Dane.

According to report, the troubles of Percy Brush, star tackle of the Minnesota football team, are not over. From Madison comes the report that Wisconsin has filed a,protest against the playing of the gopher athlete. This is an outgrowth of the conference action relative to the playing of Brush, and comes at the end of the time allowed by Arbitrator Waldo for the filing of protests. The Brush story is fairly familiar to most of the followers of Minnesota and western foot ball. He played several years on the Macaleater team, and last year entered the university and tried for the gopher team. He was a steady, brainy player and won his "M" in his fresh man year. At the time of the Strathern in cident, in Chicago, Brush's name was called up, and linked with it was the report that he had played three or four years at Mac alester. This talk became strong before the Iowa game. Brush was not protested by Iowa or Northwestern, but as he bore much of the brunt of the battle in the Northwestern game and was badly bruised up, he did not go into the game with the hawkeyes. The matter rested in this shape until the June meeting of the big nine conference, when Dean F. S. Jones took up Brush's case, showed the athletic stand ing of Macalester and asked that Brush be given a clean bill of health as to his amateur and collegiate standing. Appreciated at Conference. It was a fair, open and manly act on the part of Minnesota to bring the Brush case be fore the conference before a formal protest had been filed against the player, and the mem bers of the conference seemed to appreciate the action. It was turned over to Arbitrator Waldo of Purdue, who a few weeks ago ruled on the standing of the player and held that Brush was eligible. The ruling covering Brush's career at Macalester was printed in The Journal at the time. The arbitrator named Sept. 10 as the final date for a protest against his ruling, and intimated that a protest, to carry weight with him, must be supported by a showing of new evidence against the player. Now comes the report from Madison that Wis consin has filed a protest. This protest cannot be against the player's standing as an amateur athlete, as Brush has a clean record on that score The whole facts about Brush's career at Macalester have been in the bands of the arbitrator for months, and theie is nothing new to bring against the player. There are rumors of a change in the athletic management at Wisconsin in the faculty repre sentation, and locally it is thought that if the protest rumors are true, the protest is filed In a formal manner and will likely be withdrawn when Wisconsin's affairs settle down. Local Opinion. Gopher followers do not believe that Wiscon sin, a sister university with which pleasant athletic relations have long been sustained, would attempt, in the face of the full report of the aibltrator, to hang up Brush any longer If the protest has been made. It is thought to have been made under a misunderstanding and will be withdrawn There seems little doubt but that Brush will play on the Minnesota team this year. He is now at Waconia with the squad. Nevertheless there is anxiety to hear from Madison and from the arbitrator. CHICAGO SENDS A GOMER TO BADGERS New York Sun Special Service. Chicago, Sept. 11 Walter Steffen, the speedy quarter and captain of last year's North Division high-school team, left for the University of Wis consin today.
