Make Battling Nelson fight Kid Suui-
van fifteen or twenty rounds in Baltl-
more before he is given another chance
at Joe Cans
Nelson forged his way rapidly 10 the
top, lost To Cans, the lightweight cham
pion, in forty-two rounds. and IS entl-
tied TO consideration-if he gets rid OF
Billy Nolan.
Sullivan the Man.
II Nelson is as good a man now as he
was before he took that fearful lacing
from Cans he is wonder and sets a
new mark in pugilism, for he VIII be
the only man on whom Cans has ever
vented his spleen and skill iu a long
contest VINO had anything left. He VII,

occupy much newspaper space talking
about how he was jObbed. and how he
is stin the goods. but. as d matter Of
fact. no man who has studied the situ-
alton closely Will take any stock in him
until he shakes the Nolan person and
by couple Of good hard fights demon
strates that ne IS still there and not a
sucked out lemon.
No better man for trial horse in this
contingency could be found than Kid
Sullivan They met in Baltimore this
spring a year ago for six rounds, and
the referees opinion was that the Wash

and should have had the long end OF
the purse. but a secret agreement was
sprung upon Billy Recap, who was Of
hciating, to the effect that there was
to be a draw if both men were on their
feet al the finish.

Reform Approved.

The Jockey Club has made many re-
forms and eradicated not a few abuses
within the last season, such as the
aboHshm,nt of the messenger service
between the women in the grand stand
and the bOOkmakers. the stOppaEe of the
flow OF Information from the race tracks
70 the pool rooms and the instltuting Of
a 50 admission fee TO the main entrance
which has effectually kept away class
Of patrons who have no business with
so costly a sport as the turf. But this
latest move will meet with the greatest
appreciation.
The race track pawnbrokers stand
about the entrance OF the ring. They
have made this their market place for
years There they wait until plucked
bird futters away from the clutch of
bookmakers. A little walk underneath
the grandstand and soon the distressed
speculator has a new bank roll and the
willy broker a piece of tewelry worth
twenty times the loan Where an aver
age attendance OF 10000 bettors go TO
the local race tracks every day in the
racing season and where there Is a turn
over Of almost $4,000 in currency each
afternoon the money In this pawn brok-
ing traffic is astoundingly large. Fo~
years II has been going on and Dun
Clifton Is reputed to be a millionaire.
Sometimes they secure priceless articles
for a few dollars which for some reason
or other are never taken up. Women
are the sharks easiest prey.

Fight Alike.

Sullivan IS exactly snited 20 Nelson.

ability TO stand punishment and a fierce
body punch. which is. Of course. par
ticularly effective on man coming in

Cans did. but would meet his rushes,
and IN the iHhghting which the Dane
invites by his constant pIunging into

even better work than Cans.
Nelson has demonstrated that he IS
not particularly dangerous with his
punch. and Sullivan has proved in many
contests and Jy accepting some as
tonishingly hard blows. that he Is not
a man easily put away. Therefore, II IS
