The colored man supplemented this message with the statement that he was absolutely within ths weight and that his sondltion Is perfect. Later s telegram was received by Tex Rickard from Bet llasteraon. asking him to verify the Kelly me sage.

George Slier, the veteran referee, who arrived in Goldfield Inst Monday, and who has quoted on the Nelaoa-Gaa-s meet before, gives the following an the Labor day bout : "All arrangements, excepting the erection of the arena, for the Battling Nelson-Jo- e Guns lightweight championship battle, have been perfected and the men are training hard for the encounter. Cans, it haa been reported, le down to the required weight, 131 pounds, and Nelson Is within scaling distance of It. The referee has been selected, the purse money $3i),(MiO, , Is in the hands of responsible parties Goldfield, .which will be the scene of contest, la beginning t& ait up and notice things other than mining, and the sporting world is doping out the prospective winner. With things shaped up aa they are at present the fight, in the words of our old friend. Joe Vein dig. will surely take place.' sod from present indications It promises to be the grandest lightweight fight for the championship title that has ever taken place In this country and that means the entire world. The battle is scheduled to take place on Labor day, which falls on September 3, and It will be fourteen years, lacking two daya, since a finish fight for ths lightweight title haa bean held in this country. The last finish affair for the honors was that between Jack McAnliffe aad Billy li er, which took place at New Orleans on September I, 1833. Hist battle was for a guaranteed purae of 10,0OU and a side bet of the same amount, the whole amount being lei than the Goldfield sports are hanging up for n Bat and Joa. Ths purse Is the largest, In real money, that ever has been offered la this counidry. The Crescent City club of New- Orleans guaranteed a $40,000 purse for and Hall, but after the fight, which took place on March 8, ISO, the purae money was not in sight. Fits won that fight In the fourth round and was handed n little cash and considerable unnegotlable paper. The Jim Corbett-Che.rle- r Mitchell fight, which took place at Jacksonville, on F1m January 25, 1891, was for a 20,000 purse and a side bet of $10,000. and Fitzsimmons and Corbett battled at Carson City on March 17, 1897, for a purse of $15,000 and a aide bet of Corbett and John L. Sullivan fought for the largest amount of money actually In light before they began training, a guaranteed purae of 25,000 and n side bet of $20,000. This battle took place at New Orleans under the auspices of the Olympic club, on September 7, 1893, and reaultsd in the defeat of Sullivan In the twenty-firs- t round.

Goldfield, however, outstrips anything ever offered In the. real money line for two men to battle for. and that la going soma for a town which is atlU In Ita Infancy. . When the weight conditions of the metch were first announced those In close touch with the game had their doubts as to Gana' ability to train down to the weight, 133 pounds, much less live up to the weighing conditions, which Billy Nolan baa embodied In the articles. The latest report from Gana training ramp state that the colored boxer experienced no difficulty in training down to hla present weight, 183 pounds, and that he can taint along at an easy gait and reTTn the weight until and during the hours he is required to step on the scales. This, probably, surprised those who not only predicted, but said they knew, making the weight would deprive him of hi vitalthe ring ms limp ity and send him Into aa a dishrag. Of course we are too fhr away to know the exact condition be Is ia. but one thing can be relied upon, and that la that he would not have entered Into the match if he hed any doubts aa to hla liring up to the conditions called for.

'At first glaeo the joke is an apparently harmless little clause in ;he agreement which was adopted at the annual meeting (iptw the expiration of r the previous contract, which expired by limitation last season. The section In q lies' ion ssys that the present circuit, naming Ihe dubs specifishall couulntuet, an dthat no cally, ' club aball forfeit its franchise fur any of I's asreason except sessments and obligations. This paragraph interesting for ita failure to jlar any definite time limit upon tbe agreement. Rourke and Duncan believed that this omission meant that the agreement would have to be renewed annually, but Tebeau and Cantllisn, who framed n in such a way as , tho joker, drew to make It a perpetual grant of territory. Only by failing to live np to tbe terms of the sgreement can anv of the dnbs be ousted. Even should Denver and Puehlo be outvoted at any future session, their franchises cinmt be rescinded. Should the other clubs disband they will forfeit their players and territory, their only valuable assets. Rourke and Dnnesn are just now very much in the minority, at Denver, Pueblo, Dea Moines and Lincoln, for their mututal interests,-- ' while controlled as at present, are bound to stand together. Any defection can injure only tbe clubs which attemptt to withdraw. Denver's obligations have always been promptly met, and If the Pueblo management ia wise, it will likewise take no cnancee for forfeiting its franchise.

Why tt la possible for tbe bookmakers to do this is a matter which few betters bother themselves to explain, yet It ta plausible upon the face of It, for the bookmaker understands the gum and tha laying of odds, eo that tha perron tag le always In his favor. Before a man ean graduate into tho ranks of successful bookmaker he must have masierod every secret ff the raolng game. Few of those who crowd about the betting ring every afternoon are aware that tha man with the chnlk in hie hand can via with a lightning calculator, ao far aa tba mathematics of racing percentages er eonoernad.

Thin le done by studying the Indexed racing charts, which give the bis lory of every race a hero has run back to the tlma when b first raced tha atartar. With tha haras' history aad tha little book of percentages which every bookmaker bee la hi vest pocket, he figures tha bores1 ability to go a given distance and carries the calculation out in decimals. Tha tables which are of value at e general result are tb apead-ta- bl which shows the handicap value of each length at tho flulah; the table of comparative track speeds, with calculations in tlm sod pounds; the table of baste allowance, giving all values In pounds, and the table ef average e, with the handicap of etch condition given in low-tim- ga pounda. ef Attar the mathematical ehsne each hors to win have been the bookmaker begins to the various Items of track information that hie staff has Bothered or that he himself has heard end reliable source.
