INDIANA HARBOR. There was a. fire Friday morning in the home of Julius Dumkaskl, 3814 Beach streets which did considerable damage to the rear of the one story cottage. The fire, started apparently from an overheated stove in the kitchen, and as there was no one at home at the time, 3:15 o'clock, the fire had gained a good headway before Assistant Chief Doherty and his men arrived. The damage, which was confined to the rear of the building, amounted to about 1350, with $&00 insurance. The family, living In the front of the house, were not damaged, and are still living there. There-will be a meeting tonight of the df fleers and advisory' board of the Indiana' Harbor Ciyio League at Bolbreeht's barber shop to make arrangements for the meeting of .the league at the Auditorium tomorrow night. "William Blumenthal was in Hamlet, Ind., on business Saturday.

MIKE DONLIN TO GIVE ANSWER Marlin. Tex., Feb. 28. It will be known soon whether Mike Donlin is to cavort in the right pasture for the Qiants the coming season or not. McGraw said today: "If I succeed in getting Donlin back the outfield will look pretty good, with Murray, Seymour and Donlin out in the veldt. Mike is to let me know March 10. But he will have to show me that he can be of more value to the club and team than the youngsters, and that goes for every player on the team. My young talent will be iven every chance to get a permanent position."

CHARLIE WHITE

IN GO TONIGHT

Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 28. Should distaster overtake Jim Jeffries when he meets Jack Johnson in the ring next July the knockout blow will also reach Jim's business partner. Jack Kipper, who announced that he will bet practically every dollar he has on Jeff's ability to Whip the black man. "The Johnson backers can take a chance on breaking me if they are willing to bet their money at anything like reasonable odds that Jim can't stop the big negro," said Kipper last night. 'Til bet on the big boy as long as the bankroll lasts and then I'll hock the shop and start all over again. "What I have seen and heard Jeffries say since he returned to the coast is enough to show me that Jeff is what I -would call a cinch bet. He . will knock Johnson out and he will turn the trick so quick that it will look like a Joke. ' "When I was in San Francisco with Jim recently I slipped out on the quiet and covered every dollar of Johnson money that I could find. Here is where I discovered that Clarence Berry had stolen a march on me. Berry had gone over the path a wee or more ahead o? me and the Indications are that he has already placed $10,000 on Jeff. The present price is 10 to 7. and I will be more than satisfied if I can place all of my money at this figure." Clarence Berry, the wealthy oil operator, is a brother of Henry Berry, president of the Los Angeles Baseball club of the Pacific Coast league. Berry many months ago announced his intention of backing Jeffries with a small fortune. He will be in all probability one of the heaviest financial backers of the great white fighter. From the present' one of betting on the coast it is only a matter of hours until Jeffries will rule a strong 2 to 1 favorite here over Johnson.

Battling Nelson, a greater idol of fight followers in defeat than ever he was In victory, returned yesterday to open a week's engagement at the Alhambra in Chicago. The Dane carried many marks of his battle with Wolgast, a cut over one of his eyes and a badly bruised and puffed face telling the story of the beating he received at the hands of the new champion. While physically the Dane showed the effects of his battle there was no apparent lessening in his fighting spirit and if anything he Is more confident in his ability today than before he went down to defeat last Tuesday. The Battler sparred two rounds with his brother, Arthur, and two with Eddie Greenwald of Milwaukee. The latter Issued a challenge to Conley from the stage. Nelson wore the same togs he fought in at San Francisco and the same muddy shoes. Nelson does not plan to stick to the footlights. He has one ambition, the same which was his after his defeat by Jimmy Britt in a twenty round bout in 1907. He wants to come back and realizes that in order to do so. he must get into the country and build himself up so that he will have enough of his old-time vitality to stand another grueling fight with Wolgast. When Nelson lost to Britt, he fought his way back to the top. He repated with Gans. He means to do the same thing this time. "Bat will play just one week and then go to his Obar, New Mexico ranch," said his manager, John R. Robinson, yesterday after the two arrived from California. "He will live outdoors on his estate and do plowing and other farm work to get himself into shape. He needs something of this sort to get himself right. I don't think he was at his best when he lost, but I believe that he will be able to get himself into shape to defeat Thompson and force Wolgast to give him another chance." If any other fighter were to talk of coming back after getting such a thorough beating as the Dane received at the hands of Woigast, he would be greeted with a merry laugh, but Nelson

-is the exception to the pugilistic adage

that champion never comes back and there 'Is some reason for believing that he may yet battle his way back to the top. ' "Wolgast fought a great fight, a brainy fight," said Robinson, In discussing the battle. "He did not fight himself out in the early stages as have Nelson's other opponents, but constantly tried to save as much of his energy

as ne could for the long route. In ther

thirty-fifth round. Bat looked to be all but out and I tried to throw up the sponge. Abdul, the Turk, grabbed It from me and threw it Into the bucket, refusing to stop the fight. The Battler came back strong In the thirty-fifth and fought on with but one aim, that of slipping over a knockout punch. Every one who knows Nelson's style of milling, knows that he always has a. dangerous punch left. I am certain that had the referee not stopped the bout It would have gone the limit, and Bat argues that he might have been able

to win with a knockout, as Wolgast had I

nothing left but a slap and there was no danger of hla stopping the Dane. At that I am not trying to steal away Ad's laurels for had the bout proceeded to the forty-five round limit he would have been entitled to the decision. The Nelson-Thompson match is aa good as clinched. They signed articles to meet before the club offering the largest purse, the go to be decided in April. Blot, the San Francisco promoter, has offered Nelson $10,000 for his end with $500 expense mcney and the former champion is holding off Tor a bid from Hester, who cleared $18,000 on the bout of last Tuesday. Two packed houses greeted Nelson yesterday and he seemed more popular than when he returned to Chicago as a champion. Evidently the ring fans had tired of seeing him a constant winner and enjoyed the novelty of looking at Nelson, the defeated. Doc Krone and Doc Message have the privileges for the Nelson-Wolgast fight pictures in the east. They have been Informed that the films are good and clear despite the threatening weather during which the bout was contested. They are to be placed on exhibition In Chicago about March 20.
