NELSON'S BACKERS FORGE ODD T0 10 TO 6; WITH FEW TAKERS

San Francisco, Feb. 16. That both Nelson and Wolgast "will have something in mind besides the lightweight championship when they step into Sid Hester's Point RichmorrTd ring on Washington's birthday becomes more apparent each day. The clever little scrappers bear a cordia! hatred toward each other and each is looking eagerly to the time when some of this spite can be taken out under the Queensberry doctrine. Said Wolgast today: "It is needless to say that I loathe Nelson. I have had many opponents in my ring career, but In most of my engagements I have been moved to fight merely as a matter of business. It will be a matter of deep-rooted hatred that will move when I fight Nelson.

I have no more use for him than church

folks do for a rattlesnake at a revival

meeting. Bat has talked about me in a

manner I consider unsportsmanlike and I will make him pay for his slanders."

Nelson has been nursing his hatred of the Wisconsin wildcat since their meeting in Los Angeles. 'He is beyond

doubt the cheapest man I have ever met," said the Dane. "Some folks think because I am training hard for the bout that I have respect for hts

ability. That is not the cane. I figure that the better conditioned that I am the better licking I can give him. And you can bank on it he will get a beautiful mauling."

Neither fighter varied his routine or

work. Both did a turn on the road, cllmbfng over the hills and put In an

hour's work in the gymnasium. A number of bets were made today at odds of 10 to 6 on the Battler. There is a lot of Nelson money in sight and the odds are almost certain to go to 2 to 1. Wolgast has made many friends on the coast and many close students of the game give him a royal chance to wrest the championship from the Battler. They believe, however, that they are entitled to long odds for their money and refuse to be tempted at this time. Several thousand dollar were bet at evens today on the twenty five round proposition. "That looks like ready money to me," declared "Cherokee" Tom Jones, Wolgast's manager. "My boy is going to fight a careful fight and there isn't one chance in a hundred that Nelson will land a knockout in that portion of the bout." -. At-least three dangerous contenders for the lightweight crown will be at the ringside to challenge the winner of the fight. Owen Moran and "Harlem Tommy" Murphy, who meet before

"Sunny Jim" Coffroth's club Feb. 28, will be there, as wil also 'Cyclone Johnny" Thompson, the Sycamore, III., veteran, who has been trying to tempt Nel3on into a battle for several years. Efforts also are being made to match Owen Moran, who is In training at Al Lean's beach . resort, with "Cyclone Johnny" Thompson for a March engagement.

New York. Feb. 16. The National league magnates were in session at the Waldorf-Astoria from 2:30 until 8:30 last night, discussing the merits of the two schedules, and then adjourned to meet this morning to continue one of the bitterest fights ever known in baseball. The sides were lined up as follows: Chicago, New York, Brooklyn and Philadelphia, for the longer schedule, with Pittsburg, Boston, St. Louis and.Cinnati for the shorter schedule. President Murphy ot Chicago and President Ebbets of Brooklyn made a fierce attack on Herrman and Dreyfuss, claiming1 they had made agreements with tht " gferican league. Mr. Herrman det.J5his position in a vigorous manner, and the war of . words became so interesting that President Tom Lynch asked the gentlemen to keep their temper. The "coon" in the wood pile is the American league. Murphy and Ebberts were on the job every minute with attacks on the organization. Ebbets claimed the National league voted unanimously at the annual meeting for a schedule of 168 games, but a few days later President Ban Johnson was able to convince Messrs. Dreyfuss and Herrman that a shorted schedule was the

only one acceptable to the American league, and righ,t away Mr. Ebbets was atrused for drawing up the sort of a schedule that the league voted for. John T. Brush was present, but al

lowed his champions, Murphy and Ebbets, to do the oratorical stunts. It war -oniy noo plain,- .now ver,-to isee' that Mr. Brush was furnishing the powder. . As it fakes six votes to adopt a schedule and both sides retired last night determined to stay to a finish for their favorite, it looks like lively times ahead. President Herrman of Cincin

nati has come to stay, and says that he will not give way. Dreyfuss is noncommittal, as is Robison, whife President Dovey of B ston is with Dreyfuss to a finish. - Murphy, Ebbets and Brush are not pleased by the attitude taken by Herrman and Dreyfuss toward the American league. They claim the National league should do their business in their own way without interference from Ban Johnson's league. The position that President Johnson took in the last election for president was referred to, and the orators declared they could handle their own business without any help.

WABASH BALL PROSPECT POOR

Do farmers eat the proper sort of food ? The farmer of today buys a much larger proportion of the food that goes on the table than he did ten years ago. It's a good thing that this is so because he has a peat variety to select from. He should, however, use great care in selecting for the best results in health and strength. The widespread tendency in the city to increase the amount of Quaker Oats eaten is due very largely to the recent demonstrations by scientific men that the Quaker Oats fed man is the man wkh greatest physical endurance and greatest mental vigor. Farmers should give tlys subject careful thought and should increase the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by themselves, their children and the farmhands. , Packed in regular size 10c packages, and in hermetically sealed tins for hot climates. ,

Three Star Players Join Professional Ranks. Crawrordsvllle, Ind., Feb. 16. Because three o last year's star players who are In college this year have been declared guilty of professionalism, Wabash college baseball prospects for this spring have been dealt a severe blow. The three men against whom charges of playing professional baseball have been made are Ward Lambert, shortstop; Albert Gissler, thlr base, and Verner Bowers, captain and catcher last year. The three men have voluntarilywithdrawn from athletics in the college and will not fight the charges. Bowers and Gissler plan to leave college at the end of the present winter term to enter the professional ranks. Bowers will be given a tryout with the Indianapolis American Association team, while Gissler has signed with a team in the Kansas State league. . Lambert will complete his college course in June and then go to the northwest, where he has a berth offered him.

Holders of more than $3000 worth of tickets to the Zbyszko-Mahmout wrestling match who were compelled to stand in the mud of Wabash avenue Monday night while the bout ws in progress, yesterday started a storm of protest against the free and easy tactics of the Empire Athletic club that probably will prevent that organization from giving such exhibitions in the future. The fact that there were rumors of "frame ups" and "lay downs" concerning the match only served to make the situation of the club, which cleared a smaU fortune out of the exhibition, still more serious in the eyes of the

police although they will take no action on this phaseof th e situation. Investigation of the hundreds of complaints that followed the match yesterday disclosed the fact that the promoters of the bout took in not less than $12,000 at the box office of the

Coliseum. Further Investigation, how.

ever, disclosed the fact that not half of the ticket purchasers ever reached the seats for which they had paid $3. Of still greater importance, from the

police viewpoint, was the discovery that at no time in the arrangements for the bout had there been as many seats in

the Coliseum as were represented by

the tickets sold.

All of these facts were revealed by

Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler who made an investigation on his own account yesterday after witnessing the

acts of violence that took pla s in front of the Coliseum among those who fought to get Into the building. The, result of his Investigation will be that future promoters of similar events must put up bonds guaranteeing the public against a recurrence of Monday's affair. Moreover, it is probable

that a recommendation will be made to Chief of Police Steward that the Empire club be given no further permits to hold wrestling bouts under any consideration. . . By C3sW'clock MonAK, night It was apparent thatbut "a f ractlOTflBftfte holders of seats wuld be able to get into the Coliseum. Every aisle was crowded and there was a mo'o in the street that precluded the possibility oP getting within fifty feet of the main entrance of the Coliseum, f To make the situation still worse, there was an inexperienced force of ushers at work tm tha inside who either were unable to find seats oT found it more profitable not to do. so. Although they professed to be unable to find the seats tht actually belonged to ticket, holders, Jthey brazenly offered to secure " better seats" on payment of bribes ranging from 50 cents to $2.

LOUGHREY WHIPS TOMMY QUILL Has Better of Every One of Twelve Rounds. Boston, Mass, Feb. 16. Young Loughrey, the Philadelphia welterweight, put it all over Tommy Quill of Brooklyn in their twelve round bout. at the Armory Athletic club last night and pulled down the decision.- It was Loughrey'e fight in every round. He kept bulling into Quill, slamming straight lefta into his face. In the clinches, with his head on Quill's chest,, he banged away with both hands to the body till Quill's strength was worn down. - : '
