Nelson has always been* a big attrac tion on the stage, and the. chances are that the Central will be crowded every night during 1 the "coming wek, when the Battler steps in front, ofthe footlights.'

The cheering last ed several minutes before he was able to restore quiet and respond with a well worded speech. v A . ) ; Besides being the light weight in the world. Nelson has several other distinctions that stamp him as a remarkable man. He scored the quick est knockout on record against ; Billy Rosser at Bill McLachey's club itt Har-~ vey. 111, when he beat his; man in two seconds.

' . manship The annual regatta of the Pacific In terclub YacTit association yesterday re sulted in some fine sport. The weather, which; had been mild fos theprevious 48 hours,, turned out just to the liking . of the amateur sailors. By the time ! the preparatory whistle was blown theref was a. 'piping breeze that' made some of the yachts which were carry ing big spreads of canvas \u25a0shorten sail. Nor ; did the day go by without a series of .accidents, which were with out any serious- effect. The Monsoon, the flagship of the San Francisco, yacht club, came to grief when .nearing the I Goat island buoy, peak halyards gave way and thecrew had to do some, hustling to get up sail again, which cost the yacht its position. In turning the leeward mark the Helen gybed its mainsail into the spinnaker and had to J gybe it back before it could con tinue on Its course. ' After turning the j leeward mark the throat halyard of } the Merry Widow was. carried away landfor fully 15 minutes it had to sail without any headsails. ' The Nixie had .its troubles when running home on. the last leg of the course. The sea and i wind were so heavy, that the spinnaker boom buckled, then broke, and it had ito finish without its big kite. The j speedy Presto was another to encounter misfortune. Just, before the start the \u25a0 ! Jaws f on the gaff were carried away [and the gaff had to be lashed to the I mast. This did not allow of the main sail; being hoisted "two block" and it did not set perfectly, killing much of its ;good .drawing power, especially on the wind. *\ - ' NIXIE MAKES BEST TIME ; The fastest time of the day was made by the Nixie, which covered the course Officially in ;2:08:03, while the Chal . longer did* the distance In 2:08:44; but (when the actual time of the starting .of these two yachts was considered it [was seen that the Challenger beat the [Nixie by two seconds. \u25a0 , • . \u25a0 . The Ruby won in the 20 foot class; with the .Discovery 'second; the Chal lenger,, in v.the 36 foot class/ with the Monsoon second; the Presto in the j36 foot -j class; the Nixie beat out its old rival, the Speedwell, in .-the; 44 foot-^class, and -the Martha outfooted tbe'Annfe even when the actual time of the yachts was taken into considera tion.* j - . -\u25a0\u0084- .'. Sharp at 1:25 the preparatory whistle was given. At that time the yachts were: boxing around at ' the starting line,'' well clustered, as there was an exceptionally high tide still on the flood. At 1:30 the signal for the little 20 footers was j sounded. Stevens, in the Ruby, was hugging the line and as the whistle blew he flattened sheets and 32 seconds later crossed the line in a*dandy breeze. At that time the Vixen, its only competitor, was away out in the channel working' its way to the line. It /crossed at 5:51 after the Ruby, going away with that handicap. At I:3s. the 25: footers got the signal. The Mary, from \ r allejo.. was heading nicely for the line and crossed 59 sec onds after the signal. Right on its heels was -the Merry Widow, which went over four seconds later.- "\u25a0 Then came the. Neva, 35 seconds after the Meiry Widow. McFarland, oh > the Dis covery, the favorite, flying the Corin thian flag, got -away poorly.;for a one gun start, crossing at* 1:37:10, with a penalty of 2:10 on the* signal. . -The Moonlight's crew snowed the lack of training, and handled the yacht poorly at the start. .; • * < In a gibe at th« line it got a knock down that stirred up much excitement among the land; lubbers and the mem bers of the "rocking chair fleet.". :. It was hauled on, the wind too soon and was not given a: start. Later, in work ing to windward, it came to grief, its halyards undoubtedly parting. •In tho yawl class the lola had a walkover, the Truant failing to ma terialize, crossing at 1:41:32, 1:32 after the signal. ."»,, . There was.lots of sport in the "thir ties," the four yachts crossing the line inside of one minute and if half, while three of them cleared in 45 seconds. The skipper of the Nautilus, in the jockeying for the start, got a nice weather berth and was able to go" over on the starboard tack live seconds after the signal." Thirty-three seconds later the Monsoon crossed, with the Helen 15 spepndsin its wake > then camethe Challenger. 44 seconds later. -Of the 36 footers the Presto and the Alert were the only ones to start.

The prettiest start of the' day was the battle royal of the big ones in the 44 foot class. For five minutes before the. signal Eddie Howard, at the wheel of the Speedwell, --Fulton Berry guiding the Nixie and Charlie Miller in com mand of the Yankee, boxed around for the advantage. As the whistle blew at 1:55 the Nixie was ahead, but to leeward of the Yankee, close in to the wharf. Both yachts west about on the port tack, heading , for the channel. They had hardly filled away before the Speedwells came i in on the starboard tack with the right of way, forcing the other two yachts about, as they could not : clear. There was a short leg in shore when all three went about- for the channel. Berry then made "a short hitch in shore, and. in trying to eet out again was forced about- by the Yankee, which, when Berry filled^ away, ; also tacked.; much to the discomfiture of Berry, who lost time in being forced about. At this point the Speedwell crossed H the bow of- both yachts." From that point to. the -windward -. mark it was . hammer and j tongs. • : ;".'\u25a0 -L ; ; : , . In the bigiclass.-it was a ' poor \u25a0- start/ the Martha being -very late to*reach the line> and the Annie still farther astern.

Sept. 12.— King James, the :.: sturdy 3 year old_ brown colt by Plaudit, which John E. Madden sold recently to S. C. Hlldreth, won the an nual champion stake, worth $25,000, at Sheepshead Bay. today. His share of the stake was $20,000, and he earned it by a half length in a driving finish after a sensational run through the home stretch. Falcada was second and Dorante third. • The time for the two and a quarter miles was 4:01. This was a record — the slowest time ever made -by fine racehorses over that distance of ground. It was due to the &low. pace maintained for a mile and a quarter. The; horses in reality raced only one mile. . . But that King James is a champion not one of the many -trainers who saw him win is willing to concede.

The crushing defeat of Ketcrbel by Papke puts an end to talk *of : a heavy weight mill between the Michi gan man and Tommy Burns, and Abe^ Attell "and Owen Moran : ,fougfht such* an unsatisfactory- bout for' feather weight honors that no promoter would take the chance of matching them again. -> - ; - It; is up to McFarland and XeUon to give the public the real flght of class. They have never met. both are big cards \u25a0\u25a0and each can fight.. Now. if they will, there la something' in store for the fans that figures to keep them > talking for a while. T' Kelson's friends are urging bim to fight the pride of the Chicago stock yards. They are .telling the ?Battler at present that he can take, on Mc- Farland and crush i hlmt-ftandny and t then -retire gracefully- from the ranks for lack of' opponents. With Packey outof theway. no'lightwelght-in the _. , . - \u25a0 ' * ' " ' '" ' - A i world would have a license to Issue a challenge to the champion. - This is not a poor sagsestion. Judsinjr from the form shown by the men Nelson se*tn« to line to take to* measure of the fishtin; Irish-Amer ican from the windy city. If Nelson took on McFarland and twat him de cisively nobody could raise bla voice in protest If he did as Jeffreys did. In fact th* Dane wouhi haTe more of aa excuse to quit the same nnd haag np his title for some other lire youngst?r to battle for. Bat hai beaten them all. whil* Jeff quit the game without patting the quietus en Jack Johnson. BATTLER HAS EARNED A BEST E»»n if Xeison does make np hin miml to mis It with McFarland. he need be In no hurry for there is plenty of time. He has earned a lon* . rest and it is not likely* that the sporttns public will raise ' a shout it he decides to take the easy route for a few months and pick op some money on the road. There are two things that stand In the way of a match between the men and these »re weteht and distance. Tboujrh Packey has been fizhtinz In the lightweight dirlslon for a couple of years and doing Tery well, shrewd Jnd^ea of the pane usert that he will not be able to do the 133 posnd ringside mark when XeUon Is ready to tale him on. Paciey is jrowlag rapidly. Tie U still a lid, not many months past his twentieth year. Pro vided that be keeps on growing as he has within the last few months it is doubtful if he will be able to get down to Nelson* weight and appear strong enough to battle for the title. H« mnst beat somebody els* at the weight before qualifying for the champion. Then there la the distance to be contended with." McFarland has said all along that : he would go no further than 23 rounds. Unless be takes a leap from his lofty perch he may aa well say good evening right now, for there f»k no chance, fot him to evea approach, Nelson with " this talk. - . - \u25a0 \u25a0 - • The ehampten Is a student of the' old school — \u0084 / a distance fighter. \u25a0 In fact, hn is the first champion orer a ronte that the ring has known in many years. He has proved, to then* all that the further he goes the better he is and after realizing this be hat decided wisely that the finish fi?ht is. the fight for him— and the public agrees with him. Xeison seems to be a bit "sore" at McFarland. He says that the Chicago boy will have to annex more class before he is entitled to battle for the lightweight title. Bat alleges that Packey has done nothing to giTe him a lookln and though McFarland has come In for "much publicity the Dane is about right when the problem la studied out closely. ATTEUU HURTS FIGHT GAME ) Attell and Merart did a lot to hurt limited dis tance:, fights for championship titles. That 23 round mill . in which no blood flowed and from wblitJx both emerged unruffled: proved to the pub lic 'conclusively that when a couple, of trained fighters are battling for a title they must, go the long route. . . - ' . \u25a0 Atfell, plvea two chances within eight mont&s" to put Moran oot of ; the ; running a* a j cham pion,, stalled on each occasion and played th«i game -safe — bo safe that he will find It difficult to convince any promoter that be Is there to ' give the fans the rua that they demand. -.. • --: ,\u25a0'•\u25a0•"-\u25a0• '• • . • •"\u25a0 - It Is .'remarkable how many of the " wise - boy* fell for.
