Given the Boy When a Baby-NeI-
son Now Training Hard for Cham
piOnship Battle With Britt.
At last Hegewisch, a suburb of Chi
cago, is famous.
Handicapped by it's name, existing
mainly because the men employed In
its great car manufacturing plant had
to live convenient to their work, it
has remained for a boy pugilist to put
Hegewisch on the map.
Now Hegewisch stands for some
thing-it is the home of the boxer,
Oscar Battling Matthew Nelson, the
boy who would be known as the
champion of Hegewisch," says the
Chicago Record-Herald.
Battling is no nickname. When the
boy was born in Copenhagen on June
5. 1882, his parents pondered duly be-
fore giving him his name, but his
mother, who had a brother Battling
and wished to do him honor, insisted
that her third son should bear it. The
Oscar and Matthew came easily enough,
but neither was nearly so distinctive
as Battling, so Battling has his name
been for short, ever since. Probably
the original Danish name is not SPELL
ed that way, but that is as near as
the English title approaches the origi-
nal
Whether the boy was attracted into
his calling by his name does not direct
ly appear but that the title had in
fiuence that way is certain. AS boy
among his mates at school he was not
to be trified with. Not that he was
unduly belligerent, seeking contest
without cause, but once the gage had
been thrown down, Battling Nelson
was a youth to be reckoned with.
Comes of Good old Danish stock.
Battling, one of ten children. comes
of good old Danish stock. Possibly he
has inherited some of the traits which
of old made the Danes such sincere
fighters when warning on their enc
mics. Possibly he has imbibed some
of the spirit of the Vikings, and of
the men of old who believed implicit

GREAT SIX-DAY RACE HAS
NOW COME TO AN END
How the Teams, Led by Root and DorIon, Stood
When the Time for Riding Expired

New York, Dec. Donaldson
Square Garden was crowded with bicy-
Gle enthusiasts tonight to see the fin
ish of the six-day race. When the
winners of the $500 purse flashed
across the line after a heart-breaking
sprint between the leaders they were
given an ovation.
The teamG finished as follows:
Root and Dorlon won the race. Stol
and Vanderstuyft finished second. The
other riders came in in the following
order: Samuelson and Williams,
third; Keegan and Logan, fourth;
Krebs and Fogler. fifth; Breton and
Goufoltz, sixth; Turville and Netting,
seventh.
The final score was:
The Savannah morning news., 1904-12-11

Hugh Mclean, who was one of the
strikers, told the newspaper men that
he hoped the racing board, which
meets in February. would bar him
from riding forever.
Il hope they fix it so 1 can never
ride again. he said.
Some of the boys will get worse
fines than others, and / expect that
Walthour and Moran will get most of
the disciplining."
He said he had not been paid a SAL
airy to ride, but, like the others in the
race, he, too, received money for ex-
penses. He said he understood Wal
thour received a bonus to ride be-
cause he won the race last year.
There was no agreement between
the riders and the management not
to steal a lap" said Mr.. Mclean.
Agreements are often made between
teams that If one or both win a lap
the money shall be divided between
them. The men always pick up their
own team mates and the race is not
fake or fixed in any way"

ARMY NOR NAVY COULD
SCORE AT CHARLESTON.

Charleston, S. c, Dec. 1O-The
teams of the United States training
ship Topeka and the garrison of Fort
Moultrie met on the gridiron at Hamp-
ton Park to-day and after a nervy
tireless and always hopeful play of
two Commute halves. quit without a
score.
In the first half the navy seemed to
have a little advantage, and in the
second the army gained about as
much, but the goals were never in
danger, and it was apparently clear
case of Greek meeting Greek.
The bands from the army post and
training ship cheered on their men,
but neither could get a point.

w. +. Butcher Shoots J. G. White
at Baker city.

Baker City, Or, Jan. 15.-W. f..
Butcher one OF the leading attorneys OF
Eastern Oregon, and the democratic
candidate for congress from the second
district, two years ago, shot j. G. White
a prominent sewer and water works con-
tractor, this evening about 8: Is.
Butcher shot twice, one ball passing
through the heshy part of Whites right
arm and the other striking him in the
side of the neck White was able to
walk from in front of the postofice,
where the shooting occurred, to news
paper office, almost a block away,
where he stopped and medical aid was
called.
Butcher walked to Justice Messick s
Office and gave himself up Immediately
after the shooting. Butcher refused to
make statement tonight, further than
to say that White assaulted him and he
shot him in self defense.
Eye witnesses to the shooting say
that White accosted Butcher as he came
down from his office, which is over the
postoffice. White Is said to have ex-
claimed:
"Are you ready, Butcher" and to
nave started forward in threatening
manner, when Butcher drew his re-
volver and shot twice.
The trouble grew out of a contract in
which White and Butcher are interested
at Weiser, Idaho, for the constr uction
of an electric light plant and water
works system. White says that Butch
er drew a gun on him in Butchers offic e
this afternoon. Butcher denies this
