GOLDFIELD, Aug. 20.— M. L. Sul
livan has sent Eddie Graney, the San
Francisco tight promoter, the following
'^Ganij 1 wishes to post *5000 with you
as a bet, open to any one, that his
fight with Nelson will be absolutely
fair. Gans loses money If he fouls
Nelson. He will accept no decision «n
a foul."
"We will leave nothing undone to
prove to the world that this will be a
square fight from start to finish, said
Cans' backer, after sending the tele
*r "Gans can have all of my money he
wants for bets of this character.
No fewer than 123 Sullivans, most of
them miners, have openly claimed re
lationship to the trust company presi
dent In the last week and nearly two
score other Sullivans have written
, from all over the country. Most of
them desired their name-sake's advice
In regard to Retting on Gans. . •_
To them all and to nearly 1500 Irish
men in camp also who had expressed
& desire for similar Information Sulli
van issued a statement today. He of
fers to handle all bets they make on
Gans to win the fight,' under a guar
antee that if the fight Is won by Nelson
on a; foul, or there I* any sign of a
fake, their money shall be returned.

Degan, cashier of the Nye Ormsby
bank, a man of the same nationality.
More than' $3000 was posted with the
Sullivan trust company during the day
under this guarantee.
' An automobile contest between Bar
ney Oldfleld and Charles Chrlsman, the
champion speed driver of Nevada, may
be the attraction In Goldfleld on the
morning of Labor Day Instead of the
widely heralded bull fight.
I An informal gathering of the mem
bers of the Goldfleld Athletic club was
held I today to consider the matter.
Hundreds of letters of protest from
preachers. Young Men's Christian as
sociations nnd ladles' benevolent soci
eties have been received by Tex Rlck
nrd since* the announcement of the pro
posed contest between toreadors and
bulls. Although no definite action was
taken it was the feeling of the promi
nent men present that to hold the bull
fight in the face of such decided oppo
sition would be unwise.
Chrlsman'B challenge to Oldfield will
be Bent out this evening. It Is proposed
to hold the automobile contest on a
flat stretch of desert eleven miles In
length, and fully four miles In width
which lies a little more than five miles
from the town. Chrtsman Is a Swede,
who built an 80-horse power car ac
cording to his own designs about four
months ago. On a trip from Tonopah
to Goldfleld recently with "Battling"
Nelßon as passenger Chrisman covered
the 31 miles of desert road with grades
In places of almost 25 per cent in the
record time of 44& minutes" with five
passengers besides himself In the car.
Chrlsman Is backed by C. M. Sulli
van, Tex Rickard, L. L. Patrick, Ole
Elliott and several other prominent
men. They have agreed to put up any
amount from $5000 to $10,000 for the
race.
NELSON IS OVER WEIGHT
By An=nol!»tpil Press
GOLDFIELD, Aug. 20.— A large
rrowd filled all the available space In
Nelson's training quarters this after
noon and. applauded the Dane at his
work. The last twenty-five minutes of
the hour was spent in wrestling and
sparring with Jack Clifford. Nelson Is
clearly In his best fighting trim.
. Twice when Clifford gave him an
opening he landed so hard as to knock
the former off his feet. From start to
.finish of the three rounds he "mixed It
up," showing that he has not departed
In any degree from his regular mode of
fighting.
At the conclusion Clifford was badly
marred and stained with blood. Nelson
was asked for a statement and de
clared: .
. "There Is only one way to fight that
1 .. know of. That Is to fight from the
drop of the flag and fight all the time.
That Is.thu way I intend to go after
Gana."
Gans still sticks to the lighter work
In his sparring. The colored fellow
weighed exactly 133 pounds at the end
of the afternoon's work. Nelson's
weight is about 134%.

FIGHTEKS ABE
TEAINING HARD
PUGS PREPARE FOR THE COMING
BATTLE
"Cyclone" Thompson Takes Up Train.
ing Quarters at Arcadia, While
Hyland Goes to Seaside
Town
"Fighting Dick" Hyland has been
working hard at the seaside town pre
paring for the coming fight with "Cy
clone" Thompson. Every morning he
does road work along the beach and in
the afternoon goes through a thorough
course of boxing with his sparring
partner. Jack Brown.
Brown is one of the many tryout
pugs who have come down from San
Francisco and is now one of the lead
ers In McCarey's "pork and bean" bri
gade.
The San Francisco boy, as an ama
teur, won the championship of the
United States, but since he graduated
from that delegation has failed to do
anything of note.
Hyland is fitting himself for the fight
of his life., but Is one of the fighters
that are always in the best of condi
tion. Both boys are strong and fight
on the "Bat" Nelson order and each Is
confident that ho will win via the
knockout route in short order.
Thompson with his trainer, "Raw
hide" Kelly, has gone to quarters used
by many champions and the little light
weight is preparing himself for the
contest by doing his road work on the
many beautiful paths and roads that
lead to Baldwin's ranch.
During the afternoon he boxes sev
eral rounds with his trainer, Kelly,
and with his sparring partner, Kid
Dalton.
Two strong preliminaries will be ar
ranged by Uncle Tom McCarey, one
of which will possibly be between
young McGovern and Charley Robin
son. These two will probably be staged
for the first event, while the latter card
has not yet been arranged.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 21, 190«.
KEEP ATHLETES
IN BACKGROUND
NEGRO ASPIRANTS HAVE HARD
TIME
Three Dark Men Win Fame Equal to
That of White Brothers— Their
Only Chance It at Harvard
University
A feature of modern collego athletics
which lins not attracted a great deal
of attention off tho chmpus Is the
strenuous effort and repeated failure
of negro undergraduates to win places
on college athletic teams. Whenever
a negro is found on an athletic team,
especially In the rust. It Is because he
Is fto valuable that ho cannot be kept
In the background.
The undergraduate body has a fierce
resentment toward the sight of a negro
representing the Institution on the ath
letio flrlil, and every black man who
wins a place has Innumerable obstacles
to overcome. In fact, one could almost
count on the fingers of a single hand
the negro athletes who have become
famous.
There are three negro athletes who
have won fame for their colleges equal
to that of any of their white brothers.
These are W. H. Lewis, the famous
Harvard center rush and coach; W. C.
Matthews, also of Harvard, a short
stop on the ball team and an end rush
In football. The University .of Penn
sylvania has turned out another, such
man in J. B. Taylor, who now holds
the intercollegiate record of 49 1-5 sec
onds for the quarter-mile run.
But the competition 'of these men
has always excited hard feelings not
only in their own universities, but in
the rtvtU camps. For instance, when
Matthews, the Harvard negro athlete,
displaced Randall, his rival, for end,
the white man quit the team in dis
gust, and a big majority of the stu
dents sided with him.
The playing of Matthews by Harvard
was always very distasteful to Yale
and Princeton, and the crimson was
many times warned not to use him.
But Harvard has been especially
friendly to the negro, and has had more
of them in athletics than all, the other
universities combined.
No Place at Princeton
At Princeton there is no place for the
negro, and a black man never wore a
Tiger uniform. Princeton even Ob
jected to playing against a negro, and
It is stated that when Dartmouth used
a negro on her football team a few
years ago he was put out of the game
on the very first scrimmage. The
charge was made at the time, and
never denied, that the Prlncetton play
ers took this means to show their op
position to the use of the negro in
athletics.
Harvard Is practically the only big
university In the country where a lvgro
has any chance to make a footba'l or
baseball team. At Princeton, Penn
sylvania and Yale a negro who ap
plied for a place as candidate for a
team would be refused even the privi
lege of practice. If he did not know
the sentiment existing f> gainst him he
would be told of It very quickly and
advised to turn his energies to some
thing else.
The same condition of things would
confront him in baseba'l. It Is easy to
get rid of offensive candidates for base
ball and football honors, because In
these sports the men a r e chosen by a
coach or captain, and there la no way,
outside of a man's judgment, for one
candidate to prove his superiority over
another. This makes it very easy to
"turn down" all npgro candidates.
But It Is a harder matter to do this
In track athletics, where a man wins
hts place by defeating all other candi
dates for the place. Thus If a neero
athlete can outrun all his compeMtnrs
there is no way to keep him off the
team. J. B. Taylor, the Unlversi'y of
Pennsylvania negro who won the quar
ter-mile at the intercollegiate in 1904,
was so far superior to the field that
his place was - assured on the team
from the start.
But it Is somewhat peculiar that
Taylor, although a student at Pennsyl
vania, has not represented the red and
blue since 1904. He has always been
"Ineligible" for some reason never
satisfactorily explained.
Out of Track Events
Even In track athletics an effort Is
made to keep the negroes oft the team.
At one big university In the east,
whose name It would not be fair to
give, a novel method has been devised
by the trainer of the track team. Fe
lng bitterly opposed to negroes on his
team, he permits the negro candidates
to train, but he makes the would-be
sprinters do cross-country work and
vice versa until the candidates are
forced to the conclusion that they
missed their calling when they decided
to become track ath'etes.
A conspicuous example was furnished
by Yale a few years, ago by the cose
of Gregory, the former Andover cham
pion sprinter and baseball player. Al
though Gregory was allowed to train
for the nine, and proved himself the
best candidate for his position, he was
never given a chance to play In a
minor game, and, tired of sitting on
the bench, he quit.
DOG HELD FLAT ALL DAY
Slips Out of Noose and Is Shot as
He Sprang at Policeman's
Throat
Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK. Aug.. 20.— One little dog
kept the big flat house at 100 Kant
Eighty-ninth street in terror all yester
day. The animal was a pretty little
Spitz,' and when a friend gave him to
Frank Holsteln two weeks ago he said,
"Just the right pet for my wife and
the baby."
After HolHtPii). went to his work yes
terday morning the dog began to run
about yelping and staggering. Mrs.
Holsteln snatched up the baby and fled,
leaving the dog alone in the flat. She
spent the day with the family across
the hall, going out from time to time
to listen at her own door.
The Spitz was In a bad way. Mrs.
Holsteln could hear him jump upon the
table and scatter the dishes, bump into
the furniture in ills blind rushes at
Imaginary foes and gnaw the chair legs.
The cry of "Mad dog!" brought half
the children of the block Into the hall,
listening to the suffering animal's con
vulsions. Finally Holstein came home,
heard the news and got Policeman
O'Connell.
He entered the flat with Holstein and
tried to stun the Spitz -with his stick.
The dog retreated under a bed, glaring
and growling. Holstda made.a clothes
line noose and with tula the policeman
lassoed the dog. Tbed he carried It to
the cellar at arm's UitoHi. intending to
take him to the yard and shoot him. In
the cellar the noose slipped and the dog
was free again.
O'Connell drew hU revolver to de
spatch him. The animal sprang at hts
throat. A bullet entered bis brain and
he dropped dead.

WON BY GIRL'S SWEET VOICE;
WEDS AFTER DIFFICULTIES
TELEPHONE ROMANCE WITH A
HAPPY ENDING
West Chicago Youth Overcomes Ob
stacles and Bring* Fiancee to Chi
cago for Marriage Despite Objec.
tions and Remonstrances
CHICAGO, Aug. 20.— Fate, Cupid and
a girl's captivating voice over the tel
ephone were tho Irresistible forces
which brought about the romantic
marriage of two West Chicago young
people In Chicago last night. It Is a
real story of "How a Man Fell in Love
With a Feminine Voice."
It was three months ago that Leon
C. Carlisle, 21 years old, manager of
the> Chicago Telephone company's of
fice at West . Chicago, temporarily an
swered calls In the exchange during a
rush hour.
"Number, Please," Said Cupid
While he was saying the familiar
"Number, please," a girl's soft and
charming voice sounded In his ear.
"I want to talk with Miss ," It
said. "Is she there on duty now?"
Carlisle instantly was charmed by
the girl's beautiful voice. He granted
her request and then made arrange
ments for an introduction.
The following day he came Into her
presence and he fell in love with the
girl, as he already had done with her
voice Miss Grace Robertson, 16 years
old, daughter of James Robertson, was
the young woman. The admiration be
came mutual and last week when Miss
Robertson graduated from the high
school they decided to get married. ,
Girl's >^ge a Temporary Obstacle
Carlisle tried to procure a license at
Wheaton, but the girl's age was an in
surmountable obstable. Finally they
confessed their intentions to their
parents, who yesterday gave their
consent to the marriage.
Because of the opposition of minis
ters In West Chicago to the affair, Car
lisle and his fiancee came to Chicago
last evening and were married by
Justice Ames. The couple went to
Petoskey, Mich., for a honeymoon.
Carlisle's mother lives in Oak Park,
where he is well known. The bride's
father is a conductor on ,the North
western railway. i,.\\;t,.f ... .. ■.
Wed in Dark at Midnight
A threatened charivari and a desire
to escape the customary wedding show
er of rice and old shoes resulted in a
unique marriage ceremony, in Evans
ton which was performed In the dark
at midnight on Tuesday in the office- of
Justice Charles Vlogt of Evanston and
was kept seceret until late yesterday
afternoon when tha friends of the two
discovered it.
• Shortly before midnight Justice
Voigt was awakened by a soft rapping
on the door of his room. Elihu D.
Cooper, Jackson and Foster streets,
Evanston, stood outside holding in one'
hand a marriage license and In the
other the hand of Miss Minnie Kelling,

BRIDE IN TRUNK FOILS FUN
Starts on Her Honeymoon as Bag
gage, Having Undertaken to Give
Her Friends the Slip
Spoclal to The Herald.
NEW BEDFORD, Aug. 20.— Tho peo
ple of the quiet town of Marlon are ln r a
flurry of excitement over the sensa
tional escape of Mrs. William H. Crapo
a few mlnut.es after she had ceased to
be Miss Georgia H. Nye, from the house
In which her girl friends were waiting
to pelt her with confetti and pay her
the other attentions that fall to the lot
of tho newly wed. Mrs,- Crapo was de
termined before her wedding that she
would give her friends the slip, and
all her effects were packed up and sent
away before the ceremony to the home
of the groom. While the bridal party
were waiting with their rice and con
fetti an automobile was driven to the
house and two men who alighted went
upstairs and carried down a large
trunk.
About the same time the groom was
seen to leave the house by the back
door In his shirt sleeves. The trunk
was loaded on the automobile and the
crowd watched it drive away. They
were puzzled when they saw Carl Clif
ford, one of the ushers who had ac
companied, the auto, feverishly loosen
ing the straps of the trunk and as
tounded when the lid was thrown back
and Mrs. Crapo stepped out. To win
her point she had arranged with her
husband and the usher to be locked Into
the trunk and carried out of the house
that way. Mr. Crapo, still natless and
coatless, boaided the car soon after It
left the house, the couple were driven
to his house where they collected their

NO RULE AGAINST PEEKABOO
Eastern Rector, However, Forbids
Low Neck and Short Sleeve In
His Church Choir
Special to The Herald.
ASBURY PARK, N. J., Aug. 20.— N0
longer Is tho congregation of Trinity
Episcopal church to view long necked
and short sleeved gowns among the
fair choristers. Hereafter the young
ladies must appear In dresses of less
abrupt proportion. Complaints have
been made, Rector W. N. Bailey says,
and the rule barring the short sleeves
and low cut necks has gone Into effect.
As far as Rector Bailey knows the
choristers have accepted with good
grace, although there are rumors ,of
insubordination among the ranks. .
Rector Bailey realizes the comfort of
the loose armed gowns during .the heat
of summer. The loose sleeves of the
gowns, It appears, dropped In artisti
cally when the young ladies raised
their hands frequently/ to brush back
some disobedient strand of hair. In
this regard Rector Bailey suggests the
simple ld'ea of pinning the sleeves a
little tighter at the wrists with some
becoming trinket. The adoption of this
method will obviate any necessity ot
new surplices among the young ladles.
No objection has yet been made to
the fashionable open work short

AMERICAN WOOING TOO RISKY
Japanese Philosopher Finds the Little
Word "No" Too Often Upsets
Labor of Years
bneelal to The Herald.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 20.— American
men, In their subjugation by American
woman, have the deep sympathy of Dr.
Toyokishi lyennaga of Chicago.
"I don't wonder there are so many
bachelors In this country," he said, In a
lecture at Minnesota university today.
"Courtship in America Is such a risky
undertaking. One little word 'No' and
the labor of months and, maybe, years
Is lost
"People hold the view that the Japa
nese woman Is poor, spiritless creature
because she fans her husband while he
eats, bowing his going and coming. The
American man carries his lady's shawl,
ties her shoes, slaves from dawn to
midnight that she may have a new
bonnet; but do you call him a poor,
spiritless creature? The Japanese wom
an of this generation are trying as hard
to redeem their lost rights and privi
leges as the American man to recover
those rights and privileges so gracious
ly surrendered to his womankind."

DOG MASCOT'S APPENDIX OUT
Torpedo Boat Pet Carries Mineral Col.
lections From We»t Indies In
Hit Innards
Speclnt to Tn* tl«rald.
NEW YORK, Au*. 20.— A vermiform
appendix containing some portion of
the West Indies was taken from
Fllnky, mascot of the torpedo boat
Honklnn, yesterday by Dr. G. Tt. Hart
man. The operation wan performed at
the dog and cat hospital In the pres
ence of several bluejackets. •
Fllnkey Is a skye terrier, and Is be
lieved to be the first dog in the United
States navy to have appendicitis.
Ha always had r fine appetite, and
when the HORkinm was In West Indian
ports he would frequently get shore
leave, or take It, and snoop around
town to nee what there was to eat. So
long us he was exercising and fighting
stray Indian dogs Fllnkey managed to
digest the queer fond ho was taking
aboard from time to time, but as soon
na the Hopkins net sail for League
Tfilnml the Inactivity of sea life began
to tell on him.
His friends, the sallore, were very so*
Hcltnus about him. t
"Fllnkey's sea sick." said one.
"And It's dangerous In animals, too,"
nodded another. "I've heard tell of
cattle and homes dylnsr of it, and any
circus man will tell yon that the min
ute an elephant gets seasick they get
the tackle ready to heave him over
board."
Permission was obtained to send
Fllnkey to the sick bag, but the .sur
geon aald that he was not prepared to
give the case the scientific treatment it
required. He thought Fllnkey had ap
pendicitis and he prescribed a courne
of treatment which he thought would
keep him alive until the vessel reached
port, when the iackles .mljtht consult
a veterinarian about their messmate.
This advice was taken and a delega
tion was appointed to see that Fllnkey
got fair play at the clog and cat hos
pital.. He was laid on a table and
etherized. Then an Incision was made
In his right side and his appendix re
moved. The superfluous innard was
found to contain chunks of dirt and a
number of stones, all of which he must
have picked up in the West Indies.
Fllnkey came out of the anesthetic
In good shape and his physician pre
dicts that he will recover.
