NELSON HAS NOT
RECEIVED CREDIT
So Says Tim MCGrath One
Of the Best Trainers
in the World

Tim McGrath who next to Spider Kelly.
ranks as the best trainer and cleverest
handler of prizeaghters on the Pacific
coast, Is back in New York, and will re-
main for week or so longer lookins
over Gothams points of interest. Tim
was in Battling Nelson's corner when the
latter fought Joe Cans at Goldheld. ana
claims that Nelson has not received the
credit that is due him for the great show
ing he made on that occasion.
AS matter of course everybody who
knows anything at all about that fight
must realize that Nelson made a most
wonderful showing against Cans but af-
ter the whole thing is whitfield down TO
"A fine point Il is found that the Battler's
great showing consisted almost entirely
In his marvellous capacity for assmilating
punishment All those who saw tho fight
say without hesitation that he took a
greater amount Of punishment and kept
on trying to fight than any man who ever
went into prizering.
II Is altogether probable that there is
not another fighter living who would have
stood up as Nelson did and taken one
hall the hammering he did on that occa-
sion and not show some signs of wanting
to quit when it is remembered that It
was Nelson who was standing up when
Referee Siler put an end 10 further hos
tilities there really seems no reason why
any credit Should be withheld from him
for his great feat Of endurance in the ring
at Goldneld on Labor Day. There is not
the least doubt in the world but that he
got bit rude on several occas ons during
the scrap and several times did go clear
outside the Queensbury rules to resurTect
n punch that would do the negro no good.
but with all that he will have to get il
fer being the toughest and gamiest piece
of humanity that ever stripped for a con-
test inside Of a prizerng.

GATHERINGS OF OLD SOLDIERS
IN ALL PARTS OF MINNIE
APoLls HELD
SOME ALL DAY AFFAIRS
Colonel Charles A. Clark Latest Entry
In Contest for commander-in-ch Chief
Of Grand Army Of the Republic
Race is Now On.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 14.-This
was reunion day at the G. A. R. en-
campment and the gatherings of old
soldiers were held in all parts Of the
city. In addition there were recep.
tons, majority of them being all day
affairs by various patriotic societies,
Masonic bodies and various organiza.
lions affiliated with the Grand Army
of the Republic.
Contest for Commander.
Charles A. Clark of Cedar Rapids is
the latest entry in the race for com
mander in chief of the Grand Army OF
the Republic. Colonel Clark's candi
dacy has been announced, and al
though his entry Is generally consid
cred merely as an announcement OF
his active candidacy for the place in
1907, he will undoubtedly draw support
from many Grand Army departments
and the political situation will be
complicated by his entry.
According to lobby gossip Brown Of
Ohio is still in the lead in the race fol
the Craftsmanship of the veterans or
ganization. His strength was shown
at the Denver convention last year
when he ran second to Corporal
Tanner.
Burton of Missouri will receive the
support of his home state, and his
popularity in Grand Army circles will
undoubtedly result in substantial
vote in the convention. P. H. Coney
department commander of Kansas
has received the unanimous indorse
ment of his delegation and will enter
the fight with the solid backing of the
Sunt1ower state.
Minneapolis Man.
Rumors are current Of the entry Of
a Minneapolis man in the race fol
senior vice commander, but in loca
Grand Army circles it was positively
asserted that no Minnesota man will
seek the second honor at the hands o.
the encampment. 1t has been custom
airy for the encampment city to name
a senior vice commander, but owing
to the election of Silas H. fowler al
junior vice commander at Denver las
year, Minneapolis has not put mai
in the field for the position.
Capt. E. B. Fenton of Detroit is al
yet the only announced candidate 70
the position of junior vice commando
at the convention. He is backed b,
the delegates from Michigan ant
neighboring states and may receive
the election unanimously.

VICTORY FOR THE
ILLINOIS MINERS.
"scALE DlsTRlcTsy ARE uPHELn
BY DEGREE OF A DANvlLLE
COURT
Contest of Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul Railway company-Would
overturn Working System That Has
Been Successful for Ten Years.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 14.-The ILLS
nois coal miners have just scored VIC
tory of great Importance over the OPP
orators in a controversy which, II 1t
had been decided from the viewpoint
of the operators, would have meant the
humiliation of the scale districts and
the scheme followed for the last ten
years in the solution OF the wage ques-
ton
The victory comes through the decis-
ion given by Judge E. R. M. Kimbrough
of the Circuit court at Danville, who
refused to overturn the classification
of mines by scale districts. The case
was inaugurated by the Chicago, Mill
waukee and st. Paul railway company
in an effort to secure as low mining
rate at It's Cherry mine as the Chicago
and Northwestern railway company
has at it's mine at Gillespie.
How Judge Reasons.
Judge Kimbrough in his decision,
says:
"In the case before me the opera
tors contend that because the Chicago
and Northwestern railway company
is operating mine at Gillespie, In
Macoupin county, at the price liked
for mining coal in the scale district
to which Macoupin county Is attached,
at less cost per ton than it costs the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-
way to produce coal at the Cherry
mine, Bureau county, at the price paid
in the scale district to which Bureau
county is attached, that the last named
railway is entitled to have the price
fixed at the Cherry mine at the same
rate that is paid at the Gillespie mine.
Neither Of these mines sell any OF
the product, but both consume the coal
they produce in operating their trains.
ut is contended that because the
Milwaukee railroad is competitor
with the Northwestern for the trans
portation business of the northwest,
that the principle mutually recognized
by operators and miners applies.
Would Disorganize Miners.
"Classifcation by mines instead OF
by scale districts would result. Con.
fusion would prevail and all organiza-
ton lost. because it would be non
effective Considering only the basis
on which all controversies in the past
have been settled and deciding the
point only from such standpoint, am
clearly of the opinion that the position
contended for by the miners is correct
and that the price to be paid at the
i Cherry mine should be the price paid
j in the scale district to which the
mine is attached"
