THE GATE RECEIPTS Os Gans-Nelsen Fight Were Disappointing. San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 12. —' I'm going on the road with the moving pictures of the fight," said Battling Nelson today, “and have quite a long list of offers for theatrical engagements. I have not made up my mind what to do in the ring as yet, except in one way—l’m going to stick to white fighters, as I said right after the bout. I’ll never meet another colored man.” Nelson received $7,500 and Gans $5,405 as their end of the purse. The gate receipts were disappointing, only amounting to SIB,OOO. The AttellMoran bout, held so short a time before, undoubtedly affected the attendance. o Pitcher Romine, now pitching for Kandallville.has received a letter from the manager of the Saginaw salaried base ball team, asking him to give his terms for the next season.
