SLOSSON LOST
TO SChAEFFER

George Slosson, the champion
1872 billiard player, was defeated
by Jake Schaeffer at Chicago last
night by a score of 500 to 495. 1t
was a hard game to lose, as he
played the better billiards, but
when he had only five to go he
failed to get the balls cut of balk
and left them in an easy position
for Shaeffer. who soon had them in
shape and in some end to end of
the table play made 80 and won the
game.

lowed to meet an unknown as long
as he is under the wing of Sammy
McClintic. Once was enough for
Sammy. Get him to tell you about
it if ever you meet him.
Sammy had under mis- manage
ment Spider WEIGH at the time of
which l speak. He happened to
meet Billy Roche in the street one
day and Billy said he lad letter
from Johnny Hertz of Chicago, who
wanted him to send Jimmy Britt
east to meet three stiffs, who
would last about a round apiece.
Roche said he could not send Britt,
but that WEIGH would probably be
accepted. One of the three was
a tough youngster who didn't know
much about the game, but could
take an awful beating. That was
Just the kind Of a man McClintic
wanted WEIGH to meet, and he in
quired about his name. Roche in
formed him it was a young Dane
by the name of Nelson and that all
that would have to be done was to
write a letter and then go up to
Salt Lake City, where the fight was
wanted. and get the money and
bring 1t home; knock Nelson's
block off," was added by Roche.
Well McClintic took WEIGH to
Salt Lake and Spider put up the
hardest fight of his career. But
Nelson surely licked WEIGH and
licked him so hard that Spider has
never been any good since.
That was really the turning point
in the Danes career, for that bat
tie opened the way for Bat to the
top. Alex. Greggins was so taken
with Nelson's work that he secured
him to meet Martin Candle in San
Francisco. and in very short
time the pugilistic world was talk
ing about the wonderful Dane from
Chicago.
But McClintic learned a good les
son and never again VIII he listen
to the story about an unknown be.
ing easy. why, Nelson Just stood
up before Welch and took every.
thing that came his way. and then
gave a receipt for it."

to congress at their convention last week, they decided upon man who has been identified with the great camp since it's early days, and who has played a conspicuous part in all matters per taining to miners and their industry.
 Tom Gale, the one man for whom we all can vote without hesitancy when the time for casting our ballot comes, is one of Alaska's prospectOrs. Since the first reports of new discoveries went abroad Tom has been among Us. His heart beats ympathetically, and his head is clear. Whenever work is to be done he is found in line. Three years ago Tom Gale was at the head of the Miners Protective Association, organized to se- cure to miners and prospectors provis- ions at reasonable prices. \ period of storm and stress broke in upon the association, and Toms executive ability was sorely tried occasionally, and to it's last degree. When the storm oi indig- nation was beating iiercely on all sides, Gale was at the helm and stcered the association into smooth waters and to success.
 Ever since that time his admirers have remembered him. and whenever strong man was needed they'hcthought themselves ol him.
