BAT NELSON MAY
Be DONE FOR
IS NOT THE HUSKY LAD OF
FORMER DAYS
Received a Terrific Beating at the
Hands Of Joe Gans-ExampIes
Of other Boys Who
Took the Gaff

Has Battling Nelson ended his career
as a fighter? That is a question which
is bothering many fight fans. He does
not appear to be the same husky, Wig
orous piece of fighting machinery that
he was before he fought the famous
forty-two rounds with Joe Cans last
September, and his appearance, coupled
with his unwillingness to fight Cans
again except under the most prepos-
ferrous conditions, has made 1t look as
IL he is through with the fighting game.
The Battler has done no hard train
ing since his fight in Goldfeld, yet he
weighs no more than 131 pounds
stripped. Under ordinary conditions
he should scale over 140 pounds. Before
starting work for some of his battles
in the past he has weighed as much as
145, and 1t generally took a good deal
of work to bring him down to the light
weight limit.
His present weight indicates that
there is something wrong with his
physical makeup, but whether it is a
temporary illness or a general break
down due to overtaxing his strength in
the ring. time alone will tell.
At any rate, he is not a well man.
and it is not until after q course of
treatment at West Baden that he in
tends to enter the ring again.
Maybe Cans Hurt Him
1t looks as If the beating he received
from Cans is finally showing it's eff
fects. Nelson is a physical phenome-
non, but he is only human, after all,
and outraged nature must assert it.
self. He took beating last Labor day
that hardly another man on earth of
his size could have withstood. Kid
Herman, Mike Sullivan and a host of
others can testify that the Old Master
carries a fearful punch.
He landed hundreds of them on Mel
son-clean, solid jolts, carrying with
them all the strength of his tawny
arms. He literally wore himself out,
but thelNorseman never faltered under
the rain of piston-like blows and was,
perhaps, the stronger of the two when
the famous foul put an end to the bat
tie. Nelson probably did not realize
how badly he was hurt then, but he
knows now.
A fighter of Nelson's type never lasts
as long in the game as a clever boxer.
A man like Cans or Jack O'Brien un-
dergoes comparatively little hardship
in the ring unless he is completely out
classed. He tries just as hard to avoid
punishment as he does to infiict it,
and the physical strain upon him is
not SO great.
But fighter like Nelson, who de-
pends on ruggedness more than
science, who pits his endurance against
another's strength, and considers the

POVERTY TALE.
SAYS THAT HE HAS MONEY TO
BURN
Will Back Chicago Physician Against
Any of the Present Heavy-
weights-Admits Being
spendthrlft

Joe Cans has issued the following
manifesto regarding finances and other
things:
"The general impression seems to be
that I am fiat broke and that for this
reason, even if the match with Harry
Lewis goes through, | will ultimately
have to surrender to the terms de-
manded by Battling Nelson. Not quite,
and not yet awhile.
II will admit that have spent quite
a bunch of money unwisely and that
l haven't taken care of my income
as / should. 1t is quite true that crap
shooting and policy have made dents
in my receipts, but these receipts have
been pretty satisfactory.
'As the result l can safely say that
while 1 am pretty badly bent 1 am
far from broke.
Just as q way of showing that |
still have some money, and also as
means of increasing my wad, If any
one will gamble with me, here's
proposition: / will match DR.. John
Krone, the Chicago referee who yearns
to be heavyweight, against any Of
the men now in the game, and will
risk anything from $4,000 to $4,000 on
his chances.
"That will show what 1 can do in
the way of producing ready money.
and will also show that / believe
there's new heavyweight coming who
can make good.
"If 1 didn't think the big physician
could deliver the goods 1 wouldn't
make any offers on him, for two rea-
sons: l wouldn't want to lose my
money and Doc is too good a fellow
to have walloped by anyone.
'I have worked with him, given him
points and boxing practice and seen
him perform in private, and he surely
looks good to me.
"He isn't any small proposition, but
is a much bigger man than Burns or
Schreck-about the size of John L. Sui
livan when John was in his prime.
He knows lot about. the game, and is
cool, good-humored fellow who
wouldn't get ratified in the ring.
"I'd like to stack him up against
Jeffries, just to see how he looks in
action. It's my impression that he'd
make hit, and I've the money ready
to risk on the proposition"

.SOUIRES MAKES
GOOD IMPRESSION
AUSTRALIAN PROVES EARNEST
WORKER
Is Not an Adept at the Punching Bag,
but Has a System Calculated
to Produce the Best
Results

Bill Suuires is certainly going about
his training as though he anticipated
an early match with some American
exponent.
Newspaper writers have not waxed
overly enthusiastic concerning Squires
since his arrival, but are very well I'M
pressed with the earnest manner In
which he has started to prepare
Following is an account of recent
workout: ,,,,
"This looks like work." said Bill
Sauires as he beat a tattoo upon the
punching bag in his gymnasium. 1t
made the horses passing on the nearby
road prick up their ears in wonderment
at the unusual noise. :,
Souires is an artist in the use Of all
gymnasium apparatus except the
punching bag, with which ne does not
seem to be on terms of great famll-
iarity. The skill he lacks in this he
makes up in the artistic use of the
skipping rope.
With this he runs the gamut from
ragtime to the highland fling and his
every move is full of grace. His feet
will never be in his way when he Is in
action in the ring.
Throughout the hour he was in the
gymnasium Squires showed that he had
a system of his own, although he used
all the apparatus favored by the Ameri-
can boxers. He is a faithful worker
and puts all his boundleSs energy into
the task before him.
His strong face is all determination
as his attention is centered on the work
before him. In all his efforts he gives
the onlooker the impression of great
power
Squires goes Systematically to work
to exercise every muscle in his body
and uses some strange contortions to
obtain results. One of his exercises re-
semhles swimming, and he writhes
about the floor in manner which
brings many sets of muscles into play.
Powerfully MuscIed
He also assumes unusual poses with
the dumbbells, bringing the powerful
muscles of the back into play. AL
though he is just starting his training
operations, his muscles all seem well
developed, so that at the end of six
weeks he should have a formidable
armament.
From, the ruddy tint of his skin after
a few minutes work it is evident that
he has a wonderful circulation. The
blood was diffused through his body,
giving him a pink and healthy appear
ance. There is nothing of the gym
nasium trained athlete about him, as
he has been brought up in the out of
door world and has been accustomed
to manual labor all his life.
All Australian boxers do much of
their work in the open air and are tan
ned deep brown when they enter the
ring. Barney Reynolds, Squires' man
ager, says the Australians never ac-
cepted Jim Corbett seriously as a
champion, as his skin was so white.
Squires was asked as to when he
would have training partner. He
said he was in no hurry to engage one.
st am a bad man to box with" he
said, "as I hit too hard. I am not
fancy boxer and know nothing but to
go after sany man in a businesslike
way from the start. My rule in the
ring is never to let a chance go by
to land an effective blow, as such
chances are hard to get and should not
be wasted when they come"

JOHNNY Killing
IS BOOSTER
CLAIMS CATCHER HAS HARD
EST TIME
Believes That a Good 6ackstop Is
the Most Valuable Asset
on Baseball

Johnny Killing, the erstwhile famous
cub catcher, puts In boost for the
backstop. Johnny talks as follows:
Few baseball fans realize that the
catcher is the most important player
on the team. He works harder than
any other man, for he must direct the
infield as well as handle the pitcher
"The catcher's greatest responsibility
is in directing the pitcher to throw the
style of ball the batter is not expecting
and the kind the batter has par
ticular aversion to.
1.-THE catcher must know the likes and
dislikes of every batter in the league,
and he must also know the capability
and peculiarities of every pitcher he
catches. The catcher signals so that
every man in the infield knows just
what kind of ball the pitcher is to
throw and the fields play accordingly
when men are on bases the catcher
is in touch with the fielders so that
they can work together and frame up
deal to catch the runner. When a
pitcher throws to base to catch a
man off the bag he does so at signal
from the backstop, who directs the
team, because he is in position to see
the diamond better than any other
player.
"a bad catcher can lose game quicker
than a bad pitcher, for upon him de-
pends the team work of the club. A
weak pitcher can often do good work if
he has a good catcher at the other end.
Most of the clever pitchers can do little
If they are working with bad catcher.
"Backstops are born, not made. No
man can jump right into game and
be a star, though. 1t takes worlds of
experience in the league to make a
catcher a success. 1t takes a season
for backstop to learn the peculiarities
of the league batters That's why many
good catchers do poorly when trans
ferred from one league to another.
"Head work is more important than
an ability to hold onto the ball"
