Battling Nelson announced yesterday that he had closed matches with both Ad Wolgast andv Dick Hyland. The Dane, who is showing In Milwaukee, wired that he had signed with Sid Hester for a -battle with Wolgast over the forty-five round rcute in San Francisco, for which he is to get $12,000 for his end. He also stated that he was to get $7,500 for going ten rounds with Hyland at Kansas City. Wolgast as yet has not closed with Hester and it is unlikely that the latter can stage a forty-five round go as his club is within the city limits of San Francisco, where the duration of boxing contests is limited to twenty rounds. Wolgast, through his manager, Tom Jones, stated in Los Angeles theft he would accept the match, provided Hester posted the amount of the purse with W. W. Naughton of the San Francisco Examiner. Jones left Los An FOOTBALL PLAYERS SH0ULD PAD Negligence in Proper Protection of Body Is Cause of Many Injuries. Frank C. Longman, former Michigan football player and now coach at Notre Dame, has his idea of football reform. In a paper on the subject, he says: "I have read the many articles on revision of football rules since the close of last season and note that one thing seems to be lost sight of which unquestionably would lessen the injuries 50-per cent. "Many players go into games not sufficiently padded and bandaged to protect themselves. In the smaller colleges there seems to be a tendency to save on expenses and take a chance cn Injuries. They do not buy the players sufficient outfit at the start of the season and as a result they usualy spend more before the end for doctors' bills than good outfits would have cost, besides the criticism the game receives and the loss of players in games. "In the larger colleges players often enter games not well padded in order to have more speed. This is usually due to the player's own desire to win and make good on the team, but whatever the cause I believe that coaches and trainers should pay special attention to having every man's weak spots well protected." BALDWIN WANTS FINISH BATTLE Asks Ray Bronson to Go Forty-Five Rounds. New Orleans, Dec. 29. Mattie Baldwin, the Chelsea lightweight who fought Ray Bronson of Indianapolis to a draw here last Sunday afternoon, today challenged the Hoosier boy for a forty-five round or finish battle. Bronson stands ready to meet the easterner over any old route and the pair may get together either here or on the coast. Henri Piet,v the French lightweight who recently met Lauder, the pritisher, tonight said the twenty round route was far too short for another tussle with his rival and asked Lauder to consider the full Marathon distance, forty-five rounds. The boys will probably meet again in the, near future. TINKER BOOKED FOR CHICAGO Cubs' Shortstop to Spring Vaudeville Sketch. Joe Tinker, cubs' shortstop, duplicat ing his thespian achievements of last season, is ready to break Into the vaudeville whirl and before Chicago showgoers. He takes the fatal plunge during the week starting Jan. 10 at the Haymarket. In the sketch, which is fraught with baseball situations, Joe is ably supported by Miss Sadie Sherman. The thriller comes oft when Tinker scales a high fence to make a spectacular catch saving somebody's team from an awful trimming. Plans are in the making among the local fans to give the home run kid a rousing welcome on opening night. Bobby Lynch, also a shortstopper, known to the semi-pro followers as a member of the Logan Squares and the West Ends, has gone into the theatrical thing as an artist with the "Kissing Girl" troupe at the Cort theater. Bobby is not feeding the bloodhounds, either, according to the press agent. VICTORY FOR STERLING FIVE Sterling, 111., Dec. 29.

A sporting writer here discovered that St. Louis' total of'hits was 1,156 instead of 1,066. TO FIGHT geles last night for San Francisco to confer with Hester and close his end of the match, if things look right. Hester has oered Wolgast $6,000 for his end, which makes the purse for the fight $18,000. - Nelson in his wire stated that Wolgast had either to accept this proposition or give up all chances of meeting him for the championship. Although the date for the championship battle in San Francisco is unsettled as yet. Nelson announced that as quickly as he closed his theatrical and exhibition dates at Madison, Wis., Jan. 8, he would leave for San Francisco tc start training. . Eddie Greenwald of Milwaukee, who was arrested the other day to test the . Wisconsin anti-fight law, will accompany Nelson arid help train him. The Dane's determination to meet Wolgast and Hyland puts his proposed English tour for this winter out of the question. t WILL ENLARGE DETROIT PARK Tigers Are to Do Good Job of Fixing Up Grounds. Detroit, Dec. 29. President Kavin stated today why the tigers will not have a remodeled ball park to play in next season. It Is not that the plan to rebuild Bennett park, announced last summer, has ben abandoned, but that the club has decided to do the thing up right while it is about it Negotiations are under way with every pros, pect of success for land adoinlng the park on the west, on which the much commented on wildcat stands are now located. - The club wants to buy clear through to the street. The nit will have an alley closed and take some land on the north, the whole giving Bennett park an area equal to that of the biggest new parks planned In other cities. Building Is likely to be commenced in 1910. LONG TRIP FOR LELAND GIANTS Foster Will Lead Colored Team on Long Jaunt. Nine thousand miles will be covtred by the Leland Gants next spring.

CONFERENCE FOOTBALL IS PING PONGSAYS YOST "Conference football has been ping pong elnce Michigan left the fold." said Coach "Hurry Up" Yost of the Wolverines last night. The celebrated gridiron Instructor came Into town unexpectedly from the south and spent the day greeting friends around the Corridors of the Annex. "There has been no real competition among the members of the conference since our school quit," he continued. "The teams have not realized this until Michigan played Minnesota this fall." A smile spread over his face as he remarked. "I guess they know what real competition can be now. "The conference has not profited any by Michigan's absence. I think that with the Wolverines n' the fold the playing would have teen better. Not only in football, but In baseball and track work, Michigan always has printed Its footstep and given all the other teams a run for their money." When asked regarding the resent disqualification of Joy Miller, the great coach grew earnest at once. "I had nothing to do with the players' eligibility. I never suspected there was anything wrong with him. I am glad to see that Miller says he did attend some of his classes. Also I am pleased over his statement that If he was not credited properly with attendance It was the fault of the professors." Yost believes the restrictions at
