HANLON GREAT ATTRACTION
AT SANTA MONICA BEACH
Has Gone Through Training Finals
and Is Ready to Battle
For Life
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, Sept. 3-Next to
surf bathing Eddie Hanlon proved the
most popular attraction in the vicinity
of the North Beach auditorium this
afternoon, where, attired in a natty
outing shirt of gray and wearing the
smile that wont come off, he took his
stand and cordially greeted all callers.
Yesterday Trainer Mcdonald put the
young man through the finals of two
weeks continuous training, pronounced
him fit to battle for his life and pre-
dicted the "other fellows" finish. With
out an exception the regulars coincided
with "Mollie,' and Edward, whose
plans for spending the long end of the
purse were formulated several weeks
ago, voted with the majority. There
is no doubt about the coming fight
being a fast one, and the general
opinion of those who have witnessed
Hanlon training is that it won't go the
limit. Eddie claims to be stronger than
ever before in his life, and his style of
fighting, which is to wade in and ex-
change blows even though he must
take two for one, seems to make the
statement good.

Britt's First Fight


While Nelson's first battle was held
in a circuc ring Jimmy Britt's initial
bout was on a street corner with the
cops not far away and threatening
every minute to interfere in the game.
The story is told by Jim Kennedy Of
San Francisco, who has done some
noteworthy boxing himself. and was
there at the time. Kennedy tells the
yarn something after this fashion and
it is one of his favorite stories:
when Willie and Jimmy Britt were
little kids around Harrison and Eighth
did all the scrapping for both of them
and soon got to be the real amateur
champion of the whole district.
The boys were brought up in what
was then the toughest neighborhood
in town. Willie picked up considerable
notoriety as a scrapper and began to
be looked upon as young John L. Sui
Ivan. Then Jimmy's star began to rise.
Whenever anybody would want to fight
Willie he would say, "Why, got kid
VI oLllCl liiciL Colil ilSh yOu, anu IL oOpll
grew to be Jimmy's stunt to take on
everything that came his way. 1 knew
the boys well and used to second Willie
in some of his fights.
zone evening Jimmy hunted me up
and told me he had to fight Brick
Conlon, and asked me to come along
and second him. They had had trouble
over ball game and were to settle it
by a fight to a finish. Conlon was
about three sizes larger than Jimmy,
and when I mentioned this the game
little kid only snorted and said, 1T
don't make any difference. I've got to
fight him or move out of the neighbor-
hood
"Well, we walked down to the foot
of Eighth, near the railroad tracks.
where the two gangs were to meet.
The two lost no time in getting busy.
Conlon looked like a welter weight
alongside of Jimmy and for six rounds
he gave the little man a good wallop-
ing. Then he began to tire and Jimmy
went at him like a wild cat. He hit
Conlon a belt on the chin and sent him
to his knees. Then the pair began the
greatest rough house 1 ever saw.
Jimmy rushed him through the crowd
until both fell into a pool of mud. with
Jimmy on top. Conlon had gone down
under a clean Knockout and he lay like
a log in the mud. Jimmy was the
first to pull his head out of the water
and we worked on him half an hour
before we brought him to.

"BAT" MADE BOW IN CIRCUS

In San Francisco one day last week
Bat Nelson grew reminiscent and told
the story of his first fight.
"It was in Hammond, Ind" said
Nelson, that first took a chance at
the boxing game. 1 was only a kid of
10 at the time but the event is still
fresh in my memory. There was cir
Gus In town and l was there with
bunch of other kids, all anxious to do
some kind of a stunt that would give
US the price of admission to the big
show, like carrying water for the ele-
plants or something like that
"Well, pretty soon the main speiler
of the show stepped up to us and Of
fered to give a dollar to the one that
would put on the gloves and box with
the unknown that the circus carried
with it. l put in my bid for the
chance, although I had never had the
gloves on in my life and as the rest
of the bunch baked at the proposition
of meeting this great unknown the
HldlH SQueGZG ilIldlly COlloSiICu " CIV
me the chance.
"They brought on the unknown and
introduced him and then 1 made my
bow to the big audience in the tent,
as the "Hegewisch Kid'-Hegewisch
being by home town. l thought it was
all big joke until they brought out
couple of barrels and explained we were
to fight in them and then it didn't look
so funny. 1 didn't understand that
game at all, but 1 was lifted into one
barrel and the unknown into the other,
and they put gloves on us. The referee
said fight, and L swung out with
quick jerk and over went the great
unknown. But I didn't get the dollar,
for 1 couldn't find the man that had
put me into the barrel when 1 finally
got out"
Nelson is much pleased with his new
training quarters, which are located
just beyond Colma, and those who
have recently seen the Battler say he
looks fit and light enough to jump into
the ring at weight. Nelson is giving
great deal of his attention to the
rough work. He bores in with his
head, forces it under his partners chin
and slams away with both hands. This
| boring with the head has caused a good
deal of trouble for lots of his opponents
and many are of the opinion that Ref
cree Jeffries will order 1t stopped when
Britt and Nelson get to lighting There
has been no official announcement of
the men who will be in Nelson's corner

Of California Styles
of Play
Of Play

Fielding H. Yost, the famous foot
ball coach of Michigan and who led
Stanford to victory in 1900, has come
tr' the front with a book on football
that every rooter should appreciate
and hug to his heart. The book Is
called Football for Player and Spec
tator," and Yost handles the subject in
a masterful manner.
Bookshelves are filled with volumes
on sports, written by incompetents, and
few are worth the paper on which
they are printed. 1t seems to be the
case that every man who makes con-
spicuous failure in some line of sports
either rushes into print with pro-
found bunch of foolishness on just how
that sport should be handled, or else
becomes the editor of magazine de-
voted to sports. Successful sportsmen
are usually too busy to tell anyone
hut those whom they are paid to in
struct, how a game should be played,
But not so Yost. The famous Mich
igan coach. who has justly earned his
title "hurry-up," can do more things
az once than a crooked jockey, and do
all of them well. Therefore when Yost
enters the field of literature it be-
hooves the fans and rooters to sit up
and take notice.
California Football styles
One excerpt from Football for
Player and Spectator" is especially in
teresting as it touches home closely.
1t is as follows:
What Yale and Princeton are to the
Atlantic states, Stanford and Califor-
MIA are to the Pacific slope. The sec
tional isolation of these two large uni
versities has bound them close together
in athletic ties and the annual game
between the two elevens representing
these institutions is the athletic event
of the year west of the Rockies.
stamford has been coached largely
by graduates of the Yale school at
instruction in football very largely
from Princeton men. Very naturally
such men as Walter Camp, Pop
Bliss, Harry Cross, Chamberlain and
others have developed distinctively
Yale style at Stanford, while King
Kelly and Cochran of Princeton have
promulgated the Nassau doctrine on
the gridiron of California. Yost and
Brooke have also coached at Stanford,
while such we'll known stars in their
day as Heffelfnger Gill, Butterworth
and Brown have coached California
teams
Athletic Relations Since 1891
athletic relations on the gridiron

the year 1902, it is necessary to
20 back lit by way of explana-
ton. Originally corporations
were not so active ia political at
fairs as they are today. Form
rly, if bill was proposed in the
General Assembly which affected
corporate rights, attorneys a
law who we're employed not for
political purposes, but for the
legitimate law business of their
corporations appeared, and made
their arguments before the COM
mittees of the House aud Senate
in defense of their clients rights.
The COMMITTEES, sitting as judges.
heard arguments pro and con,
made up their decisions, and rem
dered their reports to their re-
spective bodies. This class of
work may properly be claimed an
aid to legislation.
But some time previous to the
year 1902, and not many years
prior thereto, these methods
were changed. One great rail-
road corporation com menced by
entirely divorcing its legal de-
partment from it's political af-
fairs. The real lawyers were
left in charge of the legal DEPART
ment to try its causes. Its po-
litica1 affairs was placed in the
hands of a political agent who
possessed combination of quail
fcations peculiarly fitting him
for the work undertaken.
TYPICAL POLITICAL AGENT.
This man was a typical politi-
cal agent. He possessed some
legal learning, suave manners,
wide acquaintance and much po-
litical influence. He possessed
the distinguishing though unad-
miral accomplishment of a Rus
sian diplomat. When not actual
ly engaged in high diplomacy,
emulating the conduct of the
lone fisherman in "Evangeline,
he practiced doing something
with his right hand trying not to
let his left hand find out about it.
In other words, he constantly fol-
lowed literally the Biblical print,
but perverted the moral sought
to be taught.
This political department
started out, as is customary with
all new departures, in an unpre-
tentious way and possibly was
not at first very great expense.
In order to magnify the import
ance OF the department and
thereby increase the salary aud
perquisities, it was necessary
that the occupant of the Office
should get busy and demonstrate
to the high railroad officials his
great worth as a political manip-
ulator.
By officious, unnecessary and
successful interferences in many
things that in no wise affected
railroads or railroad interests,
and by certain private exceed
|ingly fattering personals in ex-
ecutive letter heads intended for
the eyes of high railroad officials
only (of which more later,) the
position of political adviser be-
came very prominent. The
salary became princely. Office
expenses and the use of a private
car were the perquisites added
to the job.
