WHY'S AND WHEREFORES
IN GANS-NELSON FIGHT

In Birmingham, among the admirers of
the fighting game, there exist no dissat-
isfaction concerning the result of the
greatest fistacuff of recent years. The
negro Cans had Battling Nelson bested
throughout, and from the beginning to
the end of the brutal forty-two rounds,
he was the more generous opponent. Nell
sons tactics were not only degrading, but
cowardly. Not only did he flagrantly dis
regard the Instructions of Referee Sier
anent the boring with the head, but he
was guilty of more than one evidently
Intentional foul. After being knocked to
the floor and lifted again to his feet by
his African opponent Nelson struck him
a vicious blow in the stomach at a time
when the negros anatomy was unguard-
ed. The final foul which resulted in the
conclusion of the fight. was struck in
a moment of desperation. Nelson saw
that he was beaten, and took this manner
of putting an end to his punishment as
a preference to being floored for the
count.
To the student of the boxing game. the
most interesting feature of the remark
able conflict was the demonstration of
the skill, cool Judgment, and rare gem
eralship of the negro Cans. The feature
of second interest was the demonstra-
ton of the gameness and staying power
of the "Battler." 1t is true that he was
beaten from the word go" and prob
ably few men have undergone a more
severe punishment cruelty drawn out for
such long period.
The admirers of Nelson really regretted

WHY BARONS HAVE WEAK
TEAM HITTING AVERAGE

The men have sacrificed their Individual
records for the good of the team.
In the above can be found the reason
for the winning of the pennant If Harry
Vaughn was at the head of either of the
teams representing New Orleans, Shreve-
port, Memphis, Atlanta, or Montgomery,
and could have instilled in the men the
same principles that are instilled in the
Barons. and had incurred no more i'll
luck than he has already encountered, he
could have won the pennant for either
of the cities mentioned above.
1t is said that on leaving home to join
the Barons at the beginning of the sea-
son, Wordsworth remarked to his brother:
Birmingham has the best bunch of ball
players for the making Of winning team
that | have ever seen collected in the
south"
Wordsworth, at that time, saw thing
or two. His judgment was good.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-09-05

To begin with, there are two facts for
consideration. Birmingham has practi-
cally einehed the pennant The Barons,
as a team, have a woefully weak hitting
average.
To reconcile these two propositions is
easier than one at first will think. The
team has played together, every man
for every other man. AS a consequence,
individual records are lost, but the PEN
nant Is won.
Take Wordsworth, for instance. Since
that player first broke into the Southern
league, then with Chattanooga, he has
hit as good as 300 He will hardly reach
that height this season. Still, it is
certainty that his eyes is just as good as
ever, and his nerve and judgment just
as steady and collected. The same is true
of Smith, and Montgomery, and Gear.

The newspaper lads drew the short

score of to L. Holt, after driving out
a pair of two-sackers, made errors which
were largely responsible for the loss of the
game. Pickett pitched excellent ball for
the Night Owls, and made an enviable
record in the strike-out column. Twenty
men vainly sought to bruise the nose
of the sphere as it passed-untouched. In
the latter part of the contest Brown in
jured his finger badly and was forced
to retire from the game. Pickett reiev-

The manner in which the Age Herald

to 1t. Fast fielding and timely work
with the willow were characteristic of
