\u25a0 " \u25a0 \. $20,000 of the Rich Purse Will Go to Battling Nelson Both Men Declare Bout Will Take Place. R. A. Smyth *£ IKE events of international import the negotiations for the Gans .l Nelson fight at Goldfield on Labor day were not concluded without .:. *ome hitches. While Gans expressed willingness to accept any condi tions imposed by Billy Nolan, he balked when the astute representative of the Hegewisch man stated his terms. \u25a0 . Alter twent3'-£our hours' discussion the men suddenly came to an Xg-reement when it seemed a deadlock would ensue. . . Nclan, who holds the trump card, demanded $22,500 as the share of Nel fen whether he be declared the victor or whether defeat be' his portion. This would leave $7500 as the share of Champion Gans. finally com promised by Nelson accepting $20,000, leaving $10,000 as Gans' share Fighter Most in Demand Can Dictate. This sounds harsh, but it has its precedents. When Jeffries won the world's championship from Bob Fitzsimmons at Coney Island the Cornish iran demanded and received the lion's share of the rich purse, although he lost. The same conditions obtained when Young Corbett defeated Cham pion Terry McGovern nt Hartford. , It is a working: out of the'ofd problem of demand and supply. In the present instance chief interest centers about Nelson, although Gaoa liolds the championship. The public wants to see the Dane in action and is 'willing to pay handsomely for the privilege. He can command 4 $1000 a v/eek the year through at theaters throughout the country, while Shake spearean sctors repeat their c'assic lines to rows of empty tjcnch.es. Weight Agreed Upon Seems to Favor Gans. It is possible the Goidfield men will make it worth while for Gans for •accepting the short end of the purs-e and that he will not lose anything by s-i? doing. For a time there seemed a possibility of a hitch over the weight ques f.on.. Nolan insisted at first upon 130 pounds ringside. He could not have fce^n sincere in this demand, as he knows Gans cannot make any such v.eight. Nolan refused to let Nelson fight Gans at one time at 133 pounds," saj-ing the public would not patronize such a match. \u25a0 The weight agreed upon finally was 133 pounds any time between noon r.r.d the time of entering the ring, which has been fixed at 3 o'clock. While this seems a concession to Gans, it has undoubtedly appealed to Xolan as a liifidicap to the coloVed man. Referee Is Yet to Be Decided Upon. He must touch the required weight early in the day and maintain it until he is asked to step on the scales. This will undoubtedly be a strain on him the last day unless he come in under the weight easily. The question of referee may the next rock upon which the men will split. Nolan names George Siler of Chicago as his first choice, but there may be objections to liim, as he ref creed the fight between Gans and McGovern in Chicago, which left a lot of scandal in its train. Siler was always held blameless in the sr.attcr. Gans Agrees to a Division Joe Gans /~*\ OLDFIED, Xev., Aug. 9. — I have conceded every paint asked for by I Xolan. But for this there would have been no fight. I have had to \- g *'. give Xclson $20,000 of the purse and take the short end myself. I tm willing to bet the ten thousand that I 'beat him. I will start training at ance ai Columbia and will be in the best of condition. The weight will be easy, for me. SEALS SLUG HARD AND WIN BY A LONE RUN . RESIXTS OK GA.-UES. ,' Fsb Kranr-Kro.

GOLDFIELD, Nev., Aug. 9. — Although it is not admitted that there Is any hitch in the negotiations between Eiliy Nolan and Joe Gans over the conditions to govern the forthcoming championship fight, no progress h'a3 been made today toward reaching an agreement. At a con ference held late last ni^nt. at which Nolan, Gans and several of the pro moters were present, everything went as smoothly as a June wedding wjth the exception of the question of weight and the division of the purse. The former condition ws> soon disposed of and at no time did it threateri lo cause serious controversy. Nolan at first demanded that Gang make 130 pounds three hours before the handshake, but ultimately agreed to 133 ringside- The next bone of contention and one which threatened to dis rupt proceedings completely was the division cf the purse. Nolan demanded and persists in the demand that Nelson receive 75 per cent of the thirty thousand dollar?, win or lose. To this proposal neither Gans nor the club officials would agree and so the matter rests tonight. Joe Gans Says He Is Not Worrying at Delay. Gans says there's no use worrying. "I never expected to have all the details settled in one cTay, but the fight is coming off as sure as Nelson and I are alive on September 3 and the articles will be signed within a few days." Nolan says: "Instead of asking for a bonu3 I am coming out straight and asking that Nelson receive 75 per cent of this purso. He is the draw ing card and such a division is customary in such cases and I only ask what is fair. I am offering Gans better than he could get in a fight in San Fran» cisco and he has been proclaiming himself willing and anxious to fight Nelson for an old shoe. After the trivial sums he has received for his former fights we are offering him a snap. $At any rate, he will fight Nelson right out on these sagebrush flats or not at all. The articles will almost certainly be signed tomorrow. There is no occasion for hurry nor impatience. The conditions under which. the purse is held are entirely satisfactory to me with The Call as stakeholder. Nelson is on the way and will be here tomorrow night. By that time I hope to have found satisfactory training quarters. His training partners have not yet been selected, but three or four will be on Referees in Whom Nolan Has Confidence. Asked to name a few referees whom he would be willing to accept, Nolan mentioned the following, with a distinct preference in favor of the first named: George Siler, Jack McGuigan, Joe Coffey, Eddie Graney, Eddie Mcßride and Abe Pollock. President Tex Rickard sustains the demand of Gans that both men train here and this point has been conceded by Nolan. He recommends that the fight take place at 3:30 in the afternoon.
