Detroit, May 29. Thi3 Is the time for post-mortems. The "If" looms large every time It is figured what would have happened In yesterday's contest between the Tigers and the Sox. But the fact remains, after mooning over the might-have-beens, that the Sox were taken in 2 to 1. If there Is any
DANE SAYS HE'LL WIN IN 22 ROUNDS; HYLAND DECLARES CHAMP WILL FALL
San Francisco, Cal., May 29. Battling Nelson and Dick Hyland issued the following statements on the eve of their battle for the world's light.welght championship at Colma today: BY BATTLING NELSO.V. Just string along with the Durable Dane. He will be the one that will be standing up when the referee counts ten today. I am going to try to win in a hurry and am confident that the fight will not go more than twenty-two rounds. Hyland has trained too much and will find himself a trifle stale. I have worked but a little more than a week and can truthfully say that I never felt better In my life. Hyland is tough, but I am tougher and you may rest assured that there will be no new champion when the sun sets at Colma this afternoon. BY DICK HYLAND. I realize that I am going up against the sturdiest in Nelson, but I believe that I am the boy to take his measure. I am going to beat the champion at his own game. He has always boasted that he had everyone beaten over the so-called Marathon route, but he will find that I, too, can go the route. If necessary I can go the full forty-five rounds and be strong. I don't think that the fight will last that long, however, as I expect to win In about thirty rounds. I am trained to the minute and when today's battle is over Battling Nelson will have to write ex-champion after his name.
JOHHN COULON SCORES KNOCKOUT
Hook to Jaw Ends Battle With Tibby Watson. Dayton, O., May 29. Johnny Coulon of Chicago adde another scalp to his string hero tonight when he knocked out Tibby Watson of Australia in the tenth round of a scheduled twentyround battle. Coulon was Watson's master at all angles of the game, but had to administer much punishment
balm in the thought that they fought I before his opponent was put away.

ternally Injured, face and body badly be rapidly gaining.
The Internationa.l Association of Marble 'Workers will hold its annual convention at Washington, D. C, June 7. Governor Draper of Massachuetts vetoed a bill which provided that no public employe should be required to work more than eight hours a day. An eight-hour day and several other important concessions to labor are proposed in a bill recently introduced in the Canadian parliament. The Hotel and Restaurant Employes International Alliance and Bartenders' International League of America will meet in Boston next year. The Moving Picture Operators' union
of San Francisco, Cal., was recently admitted to the San Francisco Labor Council as an auxiliary to the theatrical stage employes. The Rockmen and Excavators' union of Greater New York has made a demand for higher wages. The rockmen
want an increase from $2 to $2.50 and the excavators ask for a raise from $1.50 to $1.80. The present jurisdiction of the Cigarmakers' International union includes the United States, Canada, Cuba and Porto Rico, and it is expected that the Philippine Islands will soon be added. Typographical union No. 16, of Chicago, has recently adopted a resolution, which forbids candidates for the union's elective offices to canvass for votes among the employes in the different printing offices.
The next annual convention of the
International Union of Printing Press
men will be held in Omaha, Neb., next June. The delegates from California are determined to make a strong fight
to have the next convention called for
San Francisco.
The report of the ninth annual conference of the British labor party, re
cently published, showed that at the
close of 1908 there were affiliated 172
trades unions, with a total membership
of 1,121,256; and two socialist societies,
with a membership of 2r,46o; an aggre
gate of 1.148.721.
An organization that has become part
of the American Federation of Labor
has been established in Washington, D.
C. The new body is composed of representatives from all organizations that have a label, and the purpose is to promote the union label products in all
parts of the United States.
An organisation to be known a the Hucksters and Peddlers' Protective as
sociation, which it is planned to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor, has been formed in Memphis, Tenn., and according to its objects, it will be of considerable benefit to the general public. Underselling and favoring certain customers will become things of the past in Memphis, according to the plans of the organization. The organization has a large number of members already and is reported to
a good fight, they have it. Bill Burns, making his first appearance in Chicago garb on a foreign field, pitched probably the best game of his career, and he has figured earlier in three 1 to 0 games with the club that beat him today, and lost only through the fortunes of war. Both teams played splendid defensive ball, though neither could do much in the run making way. The Tigers were first to the overtime tally, and that decided it.
Watson was down a half dozen times in the seventh, and in the ninth he was o.n the floor most of the time. The fin
ish came in the tenth when he staggered into a hard hook to the jaw while endeavoring to clinch. Jack
Morgan snd Jimmy Clabby went ten
rounds as a preliminary. No decision was given, but Clabby had a margin on points.
CUBS TRIM BUFFALOS
DURBIN GOES
TO PIRATES
Buffalo, May 29. Chicago defeated Buffalo, 4 to 1, in a clammy contest yesterday, winning by the superb pitching of Reulbach and Ragon, who held the Bisons to four scattered hits and won almost as they pleased.
One accidental- single, which was the result of Zimmerman covering first
base instead of fielding the ball, was
all Reulbach permitted the Eastern leaguers to make, and Ragon was almost as stingy, allowing nothing until
the eighth, when the Bisons managed
to couple up a pair or singles and a
scratch home run because Stanley in
hurrying to grab a ball and make a throw let it escape him and allowed
the run that saved Buffalo from a
shut-out.
GOPHERS DOWN
NOTRE DAME
Minneapolis, May 29. Minnesota took
the first game of the Notre Dame ser
ies in one of the most exciting games
ever played on Northrop field by 3 to 2. When the varsity came to bat in
the last of the ninth the score was
to 1 in favor of the Indiana boys. With
a man on second and one on third
Hughes had two strikes caled on him
and hit two fouls, but on the last ball got a safe hit between center and
right field, driving in the winning run

NELSON'S FIRST FIGHT SINCE
BEATING GANS
When Battling Nelson steps into the ring at Colma this afternoon he will be ready for his first fight since his second
victory ovur Joe Gans last September.
In a way, the Dane's fight today is
sort of try-out affair. The champion has not been in service for months and
the public, has grown suspicious about
his condition. Fight fans the country
over have been wondering whether the Durable Dane is still the stolid little
tow-head, invulnerable to the knock
out punch, This question should be
answered today.

of Gotham's hammer and anvil explosion will be heard around the world. The Galveston Sand Crabs have been making a steady climb in the Texas League since Jack Warner quit the team. Jack allowed frost to gather on his feet too soon In New York they put this one over on the Eleven Thousand Dollar Kid rta cently: "Who were the umpires in Chicago today?" inquired "Rube" Marquard of Chief Myers. "Messrs. Klein and Kane," read the chief from a newspaper. "I've heard of Klein and Kane," said the "Rube" seriously, "but this guy Messrs. Is a new one on me."
Jimmy Austin of the Highlanders is touted as the speed marvel of the season. They say Jimmy's heels have never touched the ground since he was born. If Pat Moran can keep his speed lever wide open as he is doing at present the Chicago Cubs will not have to disband on account of John Kling's absence. The same old song. Ice for the rich in summer and for the poor in winter. An insurance comiany writes a $50,000 policy on a baseball manager and wouldn't write a Chinese laundry check for a poor umpire.
ROLLER THROWS
TWO MEN Tuscola, 111., May 29. Dr. Frank
Roller of Seattle defeated Frank Frier,
the German Thunderbolt, in two straight falls here yesterday, in a wrestling match. The first fall was in
20:40, with a double body hold; the
second in one minute with a crotch and
half nelson. After this bout Roller
threw Jake Reimer of Kansas City, the
first fall in 15:30 and the second in 15 minutes. About 1,500 witnessed the bouts. This is Dr. Roller's home county.

HOME RUN ON
STRIKE OUT
Fort Worth. Texas, May 29. For
probably the first time in the history of baseball a player here yesterday made a home run on a strike out. The man who accomplished the trick was Onslow of Dallas. He struck at the
last ball, which hit the home plate and
bounded up on top of the grand stand,
landing in the gutter. Onslow made a
record trip around the bases. The game
was between Dallas and Fort Worth of
the Texas league.
PEROLA WINS
THE OAKS
King's Horse Second in "La
dies' Derby." Epsom, England, May 29. Perola, owned by W. Cooper, won the Oaks yesterday, defeating King Edward's filly, Princess De Gailes. finishing second. The king was present and the crowd was one of the largest that ever saw the "Ladies' Derby," as the Oaks is called. N. H. Whitney's Artless failed to get in the money in the Acorn stakes and his Belle of Troy was left at the post in the Micklehan Selling Plate.
The San Antonio and Dallas teams are putting up an Interesting fight for first honors in the Texas League. "Jiggs" Donahue, the former White Sock, should make a good captain for the Washington team. That sounds like a knock.
Jimmy Britt will meet Johnny Summers in London on June 6. Donnie Sullivan of the Naps is laid up with typhoid fever. Before being hurt George Stone of the Browns was hitting them to all corners of the lot. Lew Drill is managing the Superior team in the new Wisconsin-Minnesota League. Stanley Ketchel says he will fight
Bill Papke if the latter comes up with a $10,000 side bet.
Roger Bresnahan and his Cardinals made monkeys of the Doves in the last St. Louis-Boston series. j Rochester, Toronto and Montreal are setting a fast pace for first honors in j the Eastern League. The Wichita team, the new member of the Western League, got a good start in select company. Florida has a state baseball league this summer, with teams representing Tampa, Arcadia, Lakeland and Bartow. Willie Lewis and Joe Jeannette, having annexed all the money they can carry from Faris, will sail for home May 29. Jem Kendrick, an English bantamweight, has arrived on these shores
and is looking for a bout with some of the little fellows. By preventing the White Sox from scoring a run In thirty-four consecutive innings, the Athletics are entitled to use the label "goin some." Robert Emslle. has been an umpire since 1SR7. when h started with the International League. Since 1891 he has been with the National League. There is talk of a field day in Boston after the close of the regular sea

league ball players are to be invited.
Very few youngsters nave made a
