LITTLE JOE NELSON'S
METEORIC CAREER.
Young Rider Who Has Try at Walthour To-
morrow Night Is Wonder

and coming to the front late I'm '96,
when he came to America. Joe Nell
son started pace following July Is of
last year, his first appearance on a
cycle track back of the motors. He
had never raced, had never been heard
of, but gained some prominence
through being the brother of Johnnie
Nelson, the leading rider of 1900 and
1901.
F. Ed. Spooner picked up Johnnie in
Chicago and brought him up the line
to the top in a few months. With
every faith in the Nelson blood, he
took joe, a lad of five feet, and weigh
ing only 100 pounds, and started him
at work. Steady training and good
care rapidly developed the youngster,
whose amateur career lasted only long
enough to give him the championship.
Then he quickly entered the profess
sional ranks. Joe took a lot of hard
bumps. for he did not pick his COM
petitors or the distance of races;
preferring to take things as
they came while learning the
art of following pace on any old track
Gradually the bumps brought conf
dence, and suddenly Joe Nelson branch
ed out as a record breaker in the pro-
fessional ranks, as he had been from
the very outset in the amateur field.
Record after record fell to his lot; the
fastest mile of the year, 1:17; the fast
est finishing mile of the year, lis 35;
the fastest starting mile of the year,
1:19; the fastest five miles, with an
average gait of 1:19; the fastest ten
miles, fifteen miles, twenty miles, it
mattered not what distance, were his
for the try. Such riding created a SEN
sation and the wonderful little Swede
became known as a marvel.
Joe's luck, his stamina, his style, re-
sembling Johnnie Nelson in some ways
and Michael in others. and his modest
ways gained for him friends by the
thousands. Throughout Europe John
ME Nelson had been looked upon as
the greatest of American pace follow
ers, and Joe's meteoric career caused
a sensation across the water. Nelson
sought no honors there, preferring to
battle for supremacy with Walthour in
the South. this fall preparatory to a
trip to Europe in the spring. In the
race for the championship Nelson is
considered second only to Walthour
against whom, in their only meeting,
he met with an accident.

twice, once with the right and again
with the left, and then got away with

Despite this cleverness, however,
Feltz got the better of the second
round, while honors in the third were
about even. In the fourth round the
game started out with two hot mixes
IN which honors were even. Dougherty
giving quite as good as he received
1t was just while backing out of one
of these mixes that Tommy. who had
been devoting most of his time to the
ribs, swung his right hard to the Jaw

Tommy sidestepped and sent a left
nook to the ribs. Dougherty looped
over and went to the floor face for
ward, where he lay while Shortly Jen-
kins counted him out.
He was then picked up and carried
to his corner. Tommy, when the de-
cision was announced, jumped up and
kicked his heels together, then when
Danny was revived went over and
kissed him, lust to show there was
no hard feeling" Danny came to the
ropes, and in a weak voice told the
spectators that Feltz had won fair and
square, and that he hoped he had also
made barrel of money. The crowd
cheered the talk.
The main event was preceded by a
preliminary between young Miller and
young Hicks, neither of whom knew
much of the game, though both, like
Barkis, was within" and punched for

round bout. Miller was given the bout

the motors running properly, both in
training have ridden faster than the

In anticipation of an immense crowd,
Prince yesterday added two entrances

can be emptied in two minutes. The
necessity of additional entrances was
shown on Tuesday night and Prince at

With a right swing to the jaw and
left hook to the stomach, Tommy Feltz
knocked out Danny Dougherty in the
fourth round of what was to have been
q 2O-round contest last night The
bo1,t up to the Knockout blow, had
been as fast and clever as even the
most pronounced partisans of the men
had predicted it would be.
The articles called for straight
Oueensberry rules to govern the bout,
but after the men entered the ring,
Dougherty objected to these and insist
ed that a clean break be used. After
wrangle, Feltz consented, but by do
ing so placed himself at a disadvan-
tage. as in-fighting is his long suite.
1t bothered him, too, to remember
when the game warmed up, and time
after time he'd grit his teeth and step
away from a clinch in a Disguised way
to have to pass up the fine opportuni-
ties offered for rib tattoo, were the
straight Queensberry rules prevailing.
Dougherty, besides carrying his point
in the question of rules, had the adj
vantage both in hight and reach. and
these he knew how to use, as Tommy
came near finding out to his cost for
combined with cat-like quickness. it
enabled Dougherty to land blow after
blow on Tommy's face and neck An
other strong point of Dougherty's box
ing was a right upper cut that was al
ways strong and often well placed.
In the very first round he sent one
of these to Tomlny's face, as Feltz
ducked, and when Tommy squared
away again, he showed a heavy red
" cit on his left cheek. Tommy learned
a lesson from this blow, for though
Danny tried it on several times later
in the bout and landed it. too, he
couldn't put it in with the same force
or place it quite so effectively as he did
the first time.
Dougherty was much quicker than
Feltz, but Tommy had the more steam
Doughertys showing was the better,
too possibly because Feltz cid the
greater part of the leading. At any rate
Dannys stock was away up from the
beginning of the gong, and his work
justified it, for he was exceedingly
quick and clever, landed often and ap-
parently hard.
In the first round there was a good
zeal of sparring, but only two really
good blows, Dougherty's right to
Feltz's face, and a left that Tommy re-
turned to the ribs. In the second round
Tommy, to overcome Danny's superior
reach. adopted a erouehing posture
and began boring in, trying for
stomach and ribs with both right and
left Dougherty used the upper cut and
in the break landed repeatedly to
Feltzs face. Often, too, he'd send a
straight jab to the face and get away
with it. In the third round he did this
