BOTH ME N SURE
OF A VICTOR
McGovern and Nelson Tell How
They Expect to Win
Battle,
Battling Nelson.
In Terry McGovern tonight 1 meet one
the greatest little fighters that ever entered a
twenty-rour-foot ring. I -wouia much rutliei
meet ft fighter anv time than a boxer. 1 be
lieve that- I am Terry's superior as a pugilist,
for various reasons.
"In the first place, I am four years younger,
taller and longer In the reach. I never have
been defeated by a knockout blow. My phy
sique has never been abused by the use of to
bacco or drink. 1 know that I beat the man
who beat Tarry decisively on two occasions, and
last, but not least, that I will get what is com
ing to me in* the way of attention and tare by
the best manager and second in the business.
During my career in the ring I have met all
kinds of fighters, some of them as much as
twenty pounds heavier than 1 am. Some were
punchers of the McGovern type and
tough customers. 1 have been kuoeked clown
fast as I could get up, but always managed to
toe the scratch before the referee counted
ten.
"If luck Is against me, I will be contented
In knowing that I have lost to a square little
fighter. 'Now for the wtndwp. Let me. say I
am prepared to put up the best that I have in
the way of a fight, and as confident as ever.
nd no matter who wins, everybody will get
their money's worth."
By Terry McGovern.
"I expect to win tonight's fight with a
knockout in less than six rounds. And I say
that without underestimating Battling Nelson at
all. He is the champion, lie has never been
knocked oui. and he is one of the most rugged
men of his weight thnt ever put on a glove.
Still I expect to knock him out and.bring home
the lightweight championship to Brooklyn, where
it has not been since Jack McAullffe retired un
defeated fourteen years ago.
"And here are the reasons why I expect to
knock Nelson out: I am stronger and faster
than he is, and I hit a great deal harder than
he does. He is at his best in long-distance fight.
He has never put away a flrst-elass man in
quiclE time wterens, pome ol my "best victories
have been quick knockouts.
"Nelson's natural gait is to keep boring in
slowly and steadily, wear his man out and then
put him away.' He can't change his pace right
ft the reel. He's like a long-distance horse
up against a sprinter in a six-furlong race. The
chances are against him.
"My Idea is to begin to fight from, the sound
of the gong. I know that that is his style, too,
but I intend to carry the battle to him so fast
that he will be swept off his feet."
HIGH PRICES RULE
Speculators Make a Killing on Seats at
the Ringside.
Philadelphia, March 14.Prices offered for
tickets for the MeGovern-Nelson battle here to
night are breaking all records ever heard of for
a sporting event in this country. The specu
lators have so few of them and the demand is
EO great that almost fabulous prices are being
offered. One speculator at the Bellevue-Stratford
today received the high-water price when he
disposed of s-ix tickets for $300, making a
profit of $240 on what cost him $60. The tickets
call for seats in the third row from the ring.
The purchaser is reported to be John W. Gates,
the well-known speculator and sportsman. What
bas sent the price of seats up so suddenly and
to such a height is the fact that arrivals here
today from all sections of the country, not ex
pecting any difficulty, failed to order their
tickets In advance.
Battling Nelson's program was changed yester
day. Manager Nolan decided to give him a
bard workout* and he went thru it without a
murmur. Nelson's father arrived here this eve:
ning from his home at Hege.wiseb, J1U
Nolan announced last night that George Gard
ner would also be in Nelson's corner tonight.
Which one of the seconds he will announce to
hold the W aten. for him. he has not yet an
nounced.
The session this afternoon between the two
managers of the pugilists and Referee McGuigin
is expected to he a very lively one, Nolan wants
tbe idea which prevails in long bouts on the
coast to be carried on here, while Humphreys,
/or JVfcCJovera. is more accustomed to the eastern
way of doing things. The official timekeeper
has never done the counting here when a man
*SKT?^te*
has been knocked dowu. This Nolan says that
he will insist upon, as the chances of a referee
losing a couple of seconds on the count is too
important a point in such a contest to be over
looked.
Lew Perlacher has been selected as the offi
cial timer. The big argument is expected over
Nolan's demand thnt each pugilist shall have a
representative In his opponent's corner. There
are rumors today that the ministers might en
deavor to prevent the bout from taking place.
No credence is placed la these reports, how
ever.
McGovern Finishes Work.
Journal Special Service,
New York, March 14.Terry McGovern's last
day In training was one of the easiest he has
thus far put in, but It was far from being a
day of ease. In the morning he walked down to
One-hundred-and-twenty-flfth street and back
with Charley Mayhood, his trainer, a brisk
jaunt of some five miles, and in the afternoon
be ran nine miles on the road and across coun
try thru Van Cortiandt park and around the
new Jerome reservoir. And thru the whole day
and up to bedtime he was in the best of spirits.
No fighter on the eve of battle was ever more
sanguine or cheerful.
LOS ANGELES TIGHTENS
Fight Game Seems to Be Losing Favor
on Coast.
Los Angeles. Cal.. March 14.Morris Levy
will return to San Francisco without holding the
fight between Joe Gans and Jack (Twin) Sulli
van, if the mayor signs the ordinance passed
by the council yesterday.
The ordinance fixes one disirict in the city
where boxing ean be.held. The pavilion of the
Pacific club of Tom McCarrey is in the eighth
ward, which the ordinance fixes as the fighting I
limit. McCarrey is at outs with the napers
and judging, by the way tho Gans-Sullivan fight
has been roasted there is a strong probability
that it will not take place as scheduled next
Friday night. The ordinance, if it becomes ef
fective, also prevents private exhibitions wheh
are occasonally presented before other clubb.
DOWNS THROWS THEM ALL
Canadian Wrestler Stands Undefeated
Meets Selby Tonight.
AH comers are falling before Jack Downs,, the
Canadian wrestler who is appearing at the
Iex\-e theater this week. Last night Russell
went down In eleven minutes, after having made
a stubborn fight. Tonight Kid Selby will essny
to stay fifteen niintes with the Manitoban to
win the forfeit of $25.
The big match of the week will come tomor
row night when Peters, ''the St. Paul heavy
weight champion, who has been enjoying an un
broken string of victories, meets Downs. The
latter's exhibitions have shown that he will
not be beaten easily, but Peter's' record assures
a fast bout.

DOPE OF THE DAY
$
OI.PRING. candidate for third base on the
Athletics, has seen big league service before.
He received a brief trial with the hlghlauders at
the close of last season.
THIS BOSTON Americans are loaih to lose
such a consistent sticker as Bill Clay,^ who
flopped to the York team. The defection of
Clay means that .Selbach, Stahl and Freeman
wili take care of the outfield positions.
DETROIT. WANTS First Baseman Jones of the
browns. Lindsay Aid excellent wort ror the
tigers last season, but he is youngster and It
Is feared that he may slump next season.
\FTER Ahh HIS talk about never returning
to Chicago, "Nig" Smith slowly and deliberate
ly ernwled into the whitepox bandwagon. Thus
it is over.
JIMMY McAliEER, one of the sponsors of Ev
of nns', the new American league umpire, says:
"Evans will make good, or I will eat my hat."
McAleer said tUe same tbinjt last year r5gard
Ing the winning of the pennant by his St. Louis
Americans. He didn't make good, however.
MANAGER SEBRING of Williamspert claim*
to have signed Catcher Street of the Cincinnati
Nationals. Pitcher Corridou of the Phillies and
Infielder Unglaub of the Boston Americans. He
is also on the lookout for other* first-class men.
Charley Murphy should take notice.
SOME OF TUB Cleveland players who are
at Hot Springs are said to be spending about as
lira'ch of their time at the racetrack as tbey
do at Whittington park. Such is life, when the
manager is not around.
SEVERAL of the New York Nationals at Mcni

mucv. foolishness driving rain the other day
McGraw generally knows his business, but there
Is such a thing as too much practice at the
outset. Chesbto of the Americans was prac
tically put. out of business last year after pitch
ing four innings in a downpour.
WASHIXOTOX IS a team that -will have to
he watched. While it is not made up of cham
pionship timber, still Jake Stahl will have a
nine that should make every team in the league
hustle to beat it, and with Lave Cross on the
third-base sack he will keep the infield on the
edge all of the time.
IF HUGH McBREEN doesn't hear from Myron
Grimshaw pretty soon he will send a searching
party into the Adirondacks to look Myron up.
Up to date Grimshaw has not replied to the con
tract, and letters which have been sent to him
during the winter. Has the signing of Harry
Murch frightened him? Murch can play the
bones as well as cover first base, and when the
natives of Macon see Murch's reach they will
have the surprise of their lives. No high throws
will get past Murch. but Bill Cahill of East
Boston wants.to know if Murch can handle all
the low throws.Boston Herald.
DICK COOLEY is compelling all the players
that sign with him for his Topeka team to take
a temperance pledjte. Kuriny thing tor DIcH to
do. as he owns a saloon.
PITCHER BILL DONOVAN says: "In my
opinion the hitting will be lighter this year
than ever before in the big league. Pitchers
have almost reached the perfect mark, and the
man who can clout the sphere for something
over the .S0O mark these days is getting all
there is in the willow out of it. Of course, the
team that a man is traveling with means a
great deal concerning his average."
THE WAY THINGS look now, Providence
and Baltimore, which finished first and second
respectively in the Eastern league race last
year, will not have things all their own way
this season. A number of their best players
have been drafted and a few more are reported
as having jumped to the outlaw Tri-State
league, causing quite a gap in their ranks. On
the other hand, the remaining teams, from New
ark down to Toronto, are being bolstered up In
promising style, all of which will tend to make
the coming race an evenly balanced affair."
CHARLIE NEARY and Kid Herman, the Chi
cago Hebrew who has jumped into proulnence
in his class the last few months, may meet In
the roped arena before a Kansas City club in
the near future. Joe Crawford, manager of
Nenry. is negotiating with the officials of the
Missouri' Athletic club of Kansas City, and if
Herman will agree to meet Neary the match
will be closed.
THERE ARE NO immediate prospects of Joe
Gans, the lightweight champion, and Kid Her
man getting together. Herman wants the
weight 133 ringside, while Gans will not agree
to do better than 133 at 6 o'clock. Many do not
believe the colored man can make 133- at any
time without cutting off a leg, despite, his claims
to th.e contrary. __-.
IT IS POSSIBLE that Kid Herrick will be re
matched with young Kid Farmer of Chicago be
fore the Peoria club the latter part of this
month. Herrick and. Farmer fought a fast battle
before the same club recently. Farmer stopping
Herrick in eight rounds. Herrick thinks he can
even up with Farmer and the club officials have
promised to put the pair on at their next show.
DENVER- HAS closed the way to the pugs.
An odd decision by Referee Bob Stockton when
he disqualified Mart Devaney for holding in the
fourth round of a bout witli Dick Hyland of
San Francisco, caused the lid to drop in the
Rocky mountain city.
REUBEN WADDELL IS

Philadelphia. March 14.Rube Waddell Is
again among the missing, and there is consid
erable doubt as to his whereabouts. The big
southpaw was excused from practice Monday
morning and left the hotel at noontime. He did
not appear at the hotel again during the day or
last night.
Early yesterday morning he appeared at the
police station and told the chief that he had
been sandbtgged by two negroes on the street
a dark s?troetlast night and robbed of a consid
erable sum of money.
He gave an accurate description of the two ne
groes whom he asserted had assaulted him, and
then again disappeared. Tho the station house
is just across the street from the Glenmore ho
tel, where the players are stopping, he did not
call on Manager Mack. It was expected that
he would drift in during the day, but up to last
night nothing has yet been beard from him.

With the result of the meet at stake, and with
possible chances of making the relay team which
will run for Shattuck at the indoor meet
Saturday, every competitor In that relay race
ran himself out. The 0 and team was barely
uitle to win the relay ana the meet.
Morris, of Wutertown, S. 1. proved the most
effective point winner, getting in all three firsts
fur his team. Kipp's performance in the thirty
yard dash was the most creditable, when he
nosed out a first place over Mosselman in the
good time of i 3-5 seconds.
Sbattuck will enter the following competitors
in the "prep" school events Saturday at the
indoor meet:
Fifty-yard DashKlpp, Mosselman, Capron,
Burrel.
Fifty-yard HurdlesMorris. Sherwood, Capron,

"Prep" RelayKlpp, Blanding, Vail Burrel,
Capron and Mosselman.
It is doubtful just what athletes will be picked
for the relay, as these runners have made prac
tically the same marks.
Shattuck is practically certain to send a full
team to the northwestern interscholastlc at Chi
cago on May 5. One of the attractive events is
a mile relay for the military schools of the
west. Colver, St. John's, Northwestern, Belolt

Journal Special Service.
Bostou, March 14.The recent action of the
Manufacturers' association In deciding to sanc
tion next year only the automobile shows in
New York city and Chicago has stirred up a
hornets' nest of discussion among members of
the Boston automobile dealers which is this
year, as in others, conducting the exhibitions in
Mechanics' building and Symphony hall.
The manufacturers, in deciding to give. their
approval to only two exhibitions, one to 'cover
the eastern territory and the other that of the
west, took the stand that these events were en
tirely adequate to serve the best trade purposes
and that the time and expense of attending other
exhibitions held in different parts of the country
was a needless outluy which seriously interfered
with the Qvejjdght of factory operations at a:
Season whin such attention was most needed.
It was stipulated, however, that exhibitions
conducted wherever local dealers were in
strength and wealthy enough to warrant such a
step -were not to be disconragredi
The Boston Automobile Dealers' association
seems to be in the category of the "local"
class, yet the action of the manufacturers is
taken by its members as directed especially at
them.

handball, several fast games being played. In
speaking about the embargo placed on bowling
by the pitchers, Manager Chance explained his
action by saying that In his opinion bowling
developed the muscles of the back and arms
at the expense of others that are of, vital im
portance to good pitching. He further said that
the callouses that encumbered the hand as a
result of constant bowling mitigated the control
of the ball.

Wednesday night in this city, are working on.
They know that no decisions ere permitted Wre,
and have their doubts about McGovern being
able to stand before the Chicago Dane In big
battle. But tbey axe quite certain that eager
people are willing to straggle to throw away
their money for high-priced beats to see what
mav be a very unsatisfactory short bout.
The $10 and 5 seats are aU gone. Nearly 1
$9,000 has been poured into the pronioters'
treasury by this sale. Tbe $3 and $2 seat*

that the absolute limit of the bouse. $17,000,
