OARSMEN PREPARE
TO ENGAGE IN
HARD FIGHT
President of San Diego Club
Wants to Know Why
Seattle Barred Crew
What promises to develop into one of
the warmest nghts i» which the ama
teur oarsm«n on the Pacific coast have
«ver mixed up may result upon the
arrival of the San Diego club's oars
men from Seattle. The latter went
north a few weeks since to take part
in a series of races with the Seattle
oarsmen, but. at the last minute, they
were barred, according to the officials
of the southern club. Now they are
waiting to file charges against the
Seattle club and a fierce controversy is
}ooked for.
Great secrecy has been maintained,
especially by the Seattle people. John
S. Akerman, president of the San Diego
club, burned the wires to Seattle in ah
end«avor to get at the bottom of, the
trouble, but all his efforts were of no
avail. He learned that his sturdy
clubmates were ruled out on the day
before the Seattle race and that they
were pitted against the Vancouver
oarsmen in a short, special event, -but
beyond this he has been powerless to
secure any of the detallß or the actual
facts.
Akerman wired Dr. T. G. McConkey
of this city several days ago, but the
latter could not gain any more facts
than the president of the southern club.
McConkey, an old time oarsman him
eelf, and a former resident of San
Diego, is repiresentalve of, the San
Diego club in this city and he has been
instructed by Akerman to file charges
against the Seattle oarsmen. .
Following 16 a 'copy of Akerman's
letter to McConkey. /
Dr. T. G. McConkey, 115€ Sutter street,
San Francisco, CaL:
Dear Doctor — I presume you thought
my telepram very strange, but the
whole affair has been strange. In the
firsx place, our boys entered for the
four oared race at Seattle, went up
there, and did good practice. On the
day of the race the Associated Press
reported that the San Diego boys had
bren barred, but that a special contest
had been arranged for them the day
after the race.
In the specially arranged race they
vere' beaten by a Vancouver crew, and
we had hoped to have some details as
to why they were barred; but when I
saw Neil Brown an hour ago he knew
no more than he knew a week ago.
The only thing I can imagine is that
our boys were barred because they
>vere not members of the American
oarsmen's association, or some other
organization that does not recognize
The P. A. A. O-. and the reason I tele
graphed you was that you and 'Bell
should file a protest. Your letter
\u25a0bowed pretty clearly that you had no
i<iea of the trouble at Seattle and that
Bell was not posted.
Now Is seems to me that if the
racing authorities at Seattle knew
that our boys were not qualified to
race they never should have allowed
them to make the trip. Possibly our
own club 'ls to blame for not having
ascertained under what rules the race
was being run, but we thought that
the P. A. A, O. was the only passport
necessary for any race.
As soon as we j^et more details I
will write you again. In the mean
time, if you can ascertain what the
trouble is and will let me know, you
will -do m* a great favor.
Yours very sincerely,
JOHN S- AKERMAN.
Carroll Meets Bennett In
Oakland Tonight
Tonight a series of six round boxing
events will be staged before the West
Oakland club, the program being
topped off with a match between Jimmy
Carroll and Jockey Bennett, two of the
best bantams, in the game. Carroll has
bpen promised a match with a good boy
in either New York or Philadelphia in
case of victory, as Heine Rafael thinks
Carroll would make a big hit In the
«».aEt owing to his extreme cleverness.
Those who saw Bennett fight Monte
Attell are touting the jockey to take
Carroll's measure. It should be an In
teresting go. no matter who wins.
The remainder of the card is on a
par with the star scrap. Anton La-
Grave and Tommy Kelly should put up
a slashing battle, as each is there with
the wallop and stamina. Willie Ritchie
and J!ra Ford also are willing mixers,
who always give the sports a run.
(Bat Nelson's durable sparring part
ner. Jeff Pern*, has a tough job on his
hands In his six round go with Johnny
McCarthy, brother of Tommy, anji there
Fhould be plenty of blood spilled be
fore the two get through. A six round
bout between Kid Fulton and Kid
Burns and a four round curtain raiser
complete the card. Manager Simpson
states that the initial go will be put
on promptly at S:3O p. m.
Governor Asked to Balk
Stale League
(Special Dispatch to The Call]
STOCKTON. July 20.— 1n their frantic
efforts to keep the State league out of
Sacramento the managers of the Coast
league baseball teams have endeavored
to prevail upon Governor Gillett and a
number of state officials at Sacramento
to use their influence in balking the
efforts 'of the state organization to gain
a foothold there.
Efforts have also been made to have
the Sacramento street railways cancel
their agreements with the State league
in regard to the securing of the grounds
in the capital city. ,
Despite all opposition the State league
managers boast that Sacramento will
coon be on the State league map.

"On Again " Shouts Tex Hall;
"Off Again" Wires Langford
Great Nevada Pea and Shell Gamer Keeps the
, Fans Guessing as Days Roll By
WILLIAM J. SLATTERY
That contemplated Ketchel-Langford'match is fast developing into one
of the grandest all around prize puzzle propositions that the modern prize
ring has yet known. A pea and shell game never as a marker as
compared to it. You never can tell what the next day wiliybring forth.
Yesterday afternoon Promoter Tex Hall sent a hot shot message over the
wires, saying that Larrgford had accepted and that everything was fine and
rosy. A few hours later information from Boston quoted Black Sam as
declaring that he was not yet .satisfied and that he would demand another
boost in the purse. What will today bring forth* (
The fans arc all hoping that the match will take place in some village.
They, would rather see it come off right here in San Francisco, but since
Ketchel and Britt have flat footedly refused the Mission club's offer it looks as
though the Nevada' proposition is the most likely of any of -them, provided
that Promoter Hall can do what he promises. It Is more than six weeks away
now and many things are liable to occur in that time, ''if the present gait
Is maintained the match wlll.be made and broken and made and "broken at
least a dozen times ere Labor day rolls around.
BRITT BOOSTS FOR NEVADA
--, \u25a0 \u25a0
As usual Willis Britt is tearing around town, boosting as hard as he can
boost for Nevada and assuring everybody that the match is on and that there
will be no further hitch. Willis apparently has' unbounded confidence in Hall
and his ability to raise and make good with his $25,000 during the first week
in August, as stipulated in the articles of agreement. Britt is so sure that
everything goes he is now preparing to take Ketchel to the mountain prepara
tory to starting him training in the Sagebrush State.
If Hall does come through with that, s2s,ooo it will surely surprise most
of the old timers who have watched every turn a/f airs have taken during the
last two weeks. Hall may be good 'for the money, but he certainly created a
bad impression at the outset when he failed to bring It here and later when
he announced that it would be posted in Denver. . *
ACCEPTED, SAYS HALL
Here is what the Nevada dispatch says: *
ELY. Nev., July 20. — The last impediment to the fight here on Labor day
between Stanley Ketchel and Sam l^angford was removed last night when
Langford wired from New 1 York to Tex Hall, promoter of the contest:
"I accept original offer."
This was In response to Hall's ultimatum sent on Saturday to Langford
informing him that he must sign up by 6 p. in. on Monday. Langford Is
guaranteed $5,000. win or lose, besides $1,000 tor training expenses and two
round trip tickets from New York to Ely.
Th« people of Ely are pleased that the fight is to take place here, and
assurances of money are coming In from all sides.
• <?> <£ <\u2666> vs> $
This is what Langford is shouting all the way from Boston town:
BOSTON,- Mass., July 20. — Some one must be "conning" Willis Britt, judg
ing from the report received from San Francisco today, winch .said that Sam
Langford had decided to accept the terms of the Nevada promoters for a niatch
with Ketohel at Ely on Labor day. •
. Joe Woodman, manager of Langford, said this morning that the above
report was Incorrect. 3
."The promoter and Britt have my answer," says Woodman, "and unless
they agree to it Langford will not box in Ely. Langford is aware that he must
sacrifice something to get a match with the champion, and he is willing to do
bo. He will meet Ketchel, winner take all, or else let Ketchel take $15,000 of
the $25,000 purse and Langford will take the $10,000. There will be no other
division." '-' A *^ V A i

SIEBERG \VAVTS A FIGHT
Another heavy weight is about to air himself on the heavy weight stage.
i The latest one of the big fellows to come to the bat is Jack Sieberg, who fought '
a few good fighters as an amateur, but who now. aspires to higher things in the j
prize ring. He Is under the management of Billy Hart, the old time trainer, i
and Hart wants to start him against one of the second raters.
Sieberg is now working out at Hart's new training quarters, th« Ingleside
house, in Its day a famous resort for great pugilists. The big fellow boses every
day with all comers, and those who have seen him work- declare that he is
the llvest looking big fellow developed in a long time. He weighs 200 pounds
in condition, stands more than 6ix feet tall and handles himself well.
Hart wants to get his man a match with Terry Mustain, Joe Willis or one
of the other bush, fighters. He must beat one of these if he expects to make
good. A star heavy weight would help the game a lot now. They were never
so scarce as at the present time, when they are npeded ,moHt. If Sieberg's
actions are as good as his looks he figures to gothe whole route.
<§> <4> <S> <§><§>
Kid George, the Sacramento middle weight who fought a lot of good. fights
in the country of late, is out with a challenge 1 to meet any man weighing from
154 to 156 pounds. George Is credited with having. a knockout punch and man
aged to dispose of most of his victims by. this means. Ho wants a chance" to
break in either here or across the bay.
\u25a0§><$><•> •$> . . '
The Sullivan twins are up and stirring again. Through his brother. arid
manager Jack has issued a challenge to Papke, Ketchel or Langford for a fight
this month or next month or any other old month, before any club that wants
to put it on. Jack says that he was too light when Montell beat him In Sacra
mento the other night and that he will be able to give any of the stars all he
is after, provided that he can come In at 160 pounds. This is the only stipulation
which he makes. . !
Mike will leave for Boston in a few days. He is wanted by the match
maker of the Armory club of that city, who wires that he has several matches
in sight for him.. Mike is always willing to fight when he sees a chance.
\ Baseball Notes |
It seemed as though the entire, outlaw
league was on the job. There were
tossers from that organization scat
tered all over the lot. Oakland is the
mecca for them now. , It's .pretty hard
for the boys to kill time six days a
week and, naturally, they will 6troll
over to the Jjall park.
Perhaps the absence of Danny Long
from the Seal bench had some
thing: to do with the poor show
ing of the team. Danny remained
in Los Angeles and probably will stay
there another week or more, provided
the team wins. But if it loses this
afternoon, look out for Danny the next
morning. - \ \u25a0
. • • •
A dispatch, from Stockton last even
ing stated that. Benny Henderson ."would
not join the Portland dub. Henderson
said that tie gave Moreing his word to
stick with him as long as the outlaw
league lasted and that he would keep
his promise.' It is understood that
Henderson owns stock in the Oakland
club. If tWs is the case he can not
very well afford to run out. •
Oakland is now safely .' out of the
cellar, and playing ball good enough to
class with either of the leading teams
of the league. If. the present gait of
the Commuters is maintained they will
be fighting it out withvthe Senators for
fourth place within ' the next two ; or
three weeks. .The Oaks have recovered
what they lacked all season — confi
dence, and if Uhey don't win that pen
nant they will keep one of' the others
from winning 1 it sure. iS&lli
"I will not play with another team on
the coast save Stockton. I have had
many chances to. break into the Coast
league, but I em satisfied.".
This is what Pfyl, the Stockton first
baseman, said yesterday.- Like Hen
derson, he .said .that he would play
with Morelng while Moreing ha(L»a Job
left for him to fill., Now it looks as
though McCredie was reckoning on Pfyl
before consulting with . him in regard
to Jolningthe Beavers.

SEALS HELPLESS BEFORE
WIGGS' GREAT SPEED
AND BENDERS
Big Oakland Pitcher Lets the
• Leaders Down With Lone-
some Basehit
,: The towering Wiggs tore the rushing
Seals to pieces in the opening game of
the series on the "trahsbay. lot yester
day afternoon. > The best way- to. ex
plain- it away and smooth ,it out for
the fans is to say that Melchoir picked
out a safe one' over - the second bag
in the second inning. Before and after
that time .the .league leaders were like
so many pieces of pliable putty in the
hands of big Jim. He struck them out,
he made them hit anything he wanted
to, and lie- showed his great teeth 'as
he laughed at their, infantlike efforts.
They were his victims and he knew
it as well as they did. -
To think that the home team should
come all the: way .from Vernon with
cix in a row under their /belts •* and
then be shown up before their own
admirers is pretty tough stuff; But
they were sure shown up yesterday.
One hit, seven strikeouts and three
walks ; is. some work for any pitcher
during anafternoon. And besides this
Wiggs 'responded with three wallops,
one of them over the fence.
If the start goes for anything, Oak
land is going to give us an awful run
this week. Tho. winning of that series
from the Angels last week seems to
have put each of the Commuters . on
edge. They are all playing the game
now, as yesterday's score will show.
They don't -loaf nor lose heart any
more. . They get into; the game and
stay right on th*\ job till it ; is fin
ished. That's what helped Wiggs trim
the Seals, so decisively yesterday.
Ag. for Willis, he could not respond.
All the boys could see •'at the . start
that It was not his winning. day. Be
sides being a trifle erratic, he was not
stocked dp with the sort of .curves
that fool a ball team. "Whenever he
did put 'em over the oaks were ready
witl\ the big wallop. If. : hits were not
forthcoming all the time the errors of
the ; Seals helped out.
' Oakland did not even let the first
round go by without registering. Car
roH~ singled over, second, advancing on
Duffey Lewis', out and coming all the
way around when Cameron . bingled to
right. The second and third were
without incident, but, tn the fourth.
Wiggs shot one over the right field
fence on a line drive." This made it
safe for Oakland. "*
Carroll again completed the trip in
the fifth, but ,it rvmained for -the
eighth to furnish the big display of
the day. Willis was wild and his field
ers fell down behind him like a flock
of ninepins. Tfie< Oaks swung. their
bats hard, and In jig time they put
four . past the wire.
McKune, the first man up, walked
and Ragan laid down a bunt. Willis
tossed the ball to second, but too late
to y nail his man. Then i Carl Lewis
bunted to Tennant and this time Zeider
dropped the throw,' leaving^everybody
safe with' no outs. Wiggs kept up his
good work with the' clud,' picking off a
nice one to left field, which chased
Terry, in.. . . . s . j .
The best Murphy had was a short
fly to center, but \u25a0 Carroll came on
with: a long one to 'Jimmy Williams.
The latter made a nice* peg to Berry,
but, unfortunately, the sphere hit Ra
gan In the middle iof the back and
bounded away to. the bench. -Both Ra
gan and Lewis got- by -on this one.
Duffey, Lewis completed the good fin
ish by singling into the right garden
and bringing Wiggs " home with the
fourth run for the Inning. v -
..The weather, was very hot, the very :
sort for a pitcher like Wiggs. Judg
ing -from their work, the Seals -were
either stale or else overconfident, for
they certainly did not play -the article
of ball they' were playing wiien they
left here the last time. Their judg
ment was bad and; their work in. the
field was very slow and very sloppy.
The score: : -

FANS GASP, WHEN NELSON
GIVES WOLGAST FULL
CREDIT FOR FIGHT
Traveling Dulls Battler's Speed
and He Is Sure He Can Beat
Milwaukean
[Special Dispatch lo The Call]
CHICAGO, July 20.— Battling: .Nelson,
lightweight champion, vho.^ arrived In
Chicago today from Los Angeles, where
press reports gave liirathe .worst .of a
10 ''round no decision ;bout with -Ad
Wolgast, again, proved his : originality
in discussing the battle. -l.
Bat admitted that the^ Milwaukee
boxer .held him even, possibly had a
slight shade the better, and weighed
less than the champion. .
"Such an admission is rare in pugilis
tic annals and Nelson's ; nonchalance
fairly startled a group, of listeners.
"Wplgast certainly made a creditable
showing," narrated Nelson.. ."Even al
lowing for the prejudice In favor of
the under dog, he held me even. Pos
sibly he had the slight: shade, as his
friends claimed, and weighed a pound
or two less than I did, though wo both
made the lightweight limit at ringside.
He deserves credit for' his showing.
"Of course, I think I can defeat Wol
gast, and some critics said I went easy
to get another match. That la "not so.
I never slowed up. to any -one yet. . I
did not have my usual ginger. I no
ticed it in training, and ( think my
35,000 miles of traveling this year has
dulled my speed." After returning from
New . York I will take a two months'
rest before fighting again.
"Another point.' I do not claim that
the 10 round route was against, me.
I like long fights, but I ought to .beat
Wolgast in 10 rounds in my real form.
He made a good showing and deserves
his credit, po let It go at* that."
Nelson leaves for New York tomor
row to appear at a benefit; for Gotham
newsboys- and will return in about 10
days, after which he will visit his New
Mexico ranch,' and. perhaps spend his
two months* vacation in the mountains,
following a trip with his brothers to
the Seattle fair. lit support of his ar
gument citing traveling as dulling his
speed. Nelson calls attention to the
fact that this his fifth trip this
year between New York and_the coast.
-,. Wiggs fanned Melchoir. Williams
and Berry in a row in the fifth inning.
It is possible that he could have struck
out at least a dozen In all, but he
slowed up. at times when he saw that
the Seals could not touch him.
