JACKSON CHANGES
FIGHTING STYLE
Has Abandoned Waiting Tactics and
Goes After His Man All
the Time.

BALTIMORE. Dec PA number of
followers of the pugilistic game took
a trip TO Young" Peter Jackson's
training quarters at CatonsviIle yester-
day afternoon, where the dusky welter-
weight is shaping up for his bout
Monday afternoon with the Dixie
Kid at Germania Maelnerchor Hall.
before the Eureka Athletic Club. Those
that went TO the suburban training
camp expressed much surprise at the
changed tactics of Jackson.
Before his trip to England Jackson
had gained a record and reputation for
himself as scrapper Of the first water.
While he could give severe punishment
and likewise take an overabundaat
amount of it, his style of boxing was
such that it was not altogether pleas
ing TO the majority of the followers of
the ring. Accordingly, Jackson was not
quite as popular as he would have been
under ordinary conditions.
a peculiar crouch and waiting
game-that is, for a few rounds-have
always been the colored boxers style.
His training for his coming battle
shows how much he has changed them.
Now it is a case of bin, bang with him,
and he does not wait for his opponent
to take the initiative.

REMARKABLE CHEST

Breathing Exercises Develop George
Myers Until He Is Built Out
of the Ordinary.

George Myers, who will meet Bohbie
Baker in the preliminary TO the bout
between Ed Crowley and Billy Whistler
at the Rock Spring Club on Monday af-
ternon, is remarkably developed young
man.
Myers started in to become boxer
by taking breathing exercises. with the
result that his chest has grown until he
now looks like a cross between French
actress and a pouter pigeon. He is in
deed a chesty young man in appear
ance, but is not so IN his actions and
Is highly popular.
By taking breathing exercises he has
developed a chest that measures forty
one inches and can be expanded seven
inches, while he has waist measure
of only twenty-nine inches. There are
many boxers who know more about the
game than Myers. but he is learning
fast.

NELSON'S LUCK
HAS GONE BACK
Little Dane Loses All His
Coin.
DAYS OF DEEP, DARK GLOOM
Claims Referee Was Against Him and
Then Manager Skipped With Coin.
Murphy Denies It.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 24-Battling
Nelson, the pugilist, believing that he
has been defrauded of the bulk of the
receipts of his recent glove contests,
yesterday SWore out complaints against
his manager, Ted Murphy, and Eddie
Santry, formerly his sparring partner,
accusing him OF enbezzling S1,21.
The warrants were issued from the
police court and bail in each case was
fixed at $4,000 bonds or sic, 900 cash.
Both Murphy and Santry were placed
under arrest in Stockton on their ar
rival from the city eastward bound.
They viii be brought TO this city to
answer to the charges.
Deep, Dark Gloom.
These are days of deep, dark gloom
for Nelson. Not only does the little
Dane consider that Referee Roche gave
him the worst of it in his fight with
Britt but the bunch of woe that befell
him last night well might overcome him.
Before going Murphy wrote a polite
little note to Nelson, inclosing 500 and
a ticket to Chicago Murphy left for
the East last night over the Santa Fe.
Nelson was at the ferry when he pulled
out of the ship, but he never dreamed
leave for Chicago. The Dane was there
TO see Santry off. and claims that Muir
ply was there for the same purpose.
But at the last minute Murphy had an
nouneed that he thought he would ride
across the bay with Eddie, and say fare
well on the other side. Nelson asserts
One Hundred Dollars and Ticket.
When Nelson got up to town again he
found a polite little note at Harry Cor
hett's. written in Murpfy's best hand
and inclosing, not his share of the re
ceipts of the lest fight, but 800 and .
ticket to Chicago.
According to the story told by Nelson
he had been attempting to force a set
tlement with Murphy ever since the hgh
OF last Tuesday Night. The manager
says Nelson. had charge not only of al
the money earned in the Britt fight. bui
also the money won in the fight witt
Young Corbett last November. Thi:

$4,000.
Despite the fact that it was reported
freTn Stockton that Murphy only had SIS
in his possession when arrested, there !:

on the manager This last, however, ha.
not been confirmed.
