After handing the visitors the game on a silver platter in the early portion or the game, the Barons tried like fury to redeem themselves in the final rounds.

Counted Out.

"Gans was all in after the ninth round. In the twenty-first both the timekeeper and myself counted 10, therefore making Nelson the winner Cans. 1 believe, did not know he was counted out but it is just as well that he was, as Nelson had him completely at his mercy, and it was useless for the game eolored man to take a further beating"
 When Cans was seen in his dressing room his face presented a terrible picture. His right eye was closed, the left par tially so; his lips and nose were badly lacerated, and his face was puffed out like inflated balloon.
 Willie Keefe, one of Cans seconds, said after the fight:
 Nelson said
 Cans was all in after the ninth round. In the eleventh I begged him to allow me to toss the sponge into the ring. This he would not allow me to do, saying he preferred to be knocked out and would fight as long as he had the strength to stand up. For II rounds Cans fought on his courage alone, as he could not land damaging punch"
 Cans was tougher than before. He was in good shape and he fought me a different kind of a fight. From now on I will never fight colored man again I shook hands with Billy Papke today ana we both made the compact.

Those Errors of Omission.

The downfall of the Baron empire IS directly attributable to errors or omls- sion and the wildness of Fleharty. The first cause is illustrated in the fact that in the third inning Memphis scored three men without having driven the hall from the diamond Shrields opened with a scratch hit to the left of Meek. Carter was walked. Baerwald beat out A bunt that might have been handled. Then. with the bases full, the fireworks opened Cranston hit light one to Downey The ball was booted, Shields scoring and Cranston going out at first. Donahue hit an easy one to Fleharty. The ball was booted while Carter scored, Fleharty saving himself an error oy throwing the runner out at first. Then with q man on third, Fleharty, while at +amntine to throw the ball to the catch or threw it behind him through one or the freaks with which the game abounds and Baerwald scored.
 The fourth run of the visitors came in the fourth inning, Jolly drew pass took second on an out, and scored on the hit of owens. In the sixth, another run was added to the quartet already hung up Babb, to begin with, was hit bv a pitched ball. Jolly's sacrifice nlaced the runner at second, and he scored on oLeary's scratch hit followed by Downey's wild throw to first.

Fight by Rounds.

The first round was in Cans favor, but the second went to Nelson. He forced Cans all through and was strong and con fident while Cans appeared worried.
 The third round ended in Nelson's favor, though he took many hard blows about the face. Nelson forced Cans at every stage and drew first blood from the ne- gros nose
 The fourth was about even, with Nelson forcing the fight.
 In the fifth round Cans had the advan- tage. landing repeatedly and stopping Nelson's rushes. Nelson wore a smile of confidence all through the round.
 The sixth was even, with Nelson de- voting his attention to Cans body and landing an occasional good blow.
 Cans had a decided advantage in tho fighting in the seventh round, though the champion showed no ill effects from the many stiff blows he got.
 Nelson came right back and took the lead in the eighth, hammering Cans body.
 The ninth also, was slightly in Nel- sons favor.
 The tenth was even. but the eleventh was decidedly in Nelson's favor. and at it's close Cans appeared very tired and his seconds worked vigorously over him.
 It looked at the close of the twelfth as if Nelson would win and that it was only a question of time until he got the de- csion. He wore the coored man down with his ceaseless rushes
 Cans held Nelson off for time, but just at the close of the round the cham pion landed hard left to the mouth and started blood afresh. Nelson was strong and confident, with Cans appearing to be tiring.
 The fourteenth was even, Cans taking brace and giving as good as he took from the rushing Dane.

NELSON DRAWS COLOR LINE

San Francisco, Cal. September 9.-Bat- ting Nelson clinched his claim to the lightweight pugilistle championship by defeating Joe Cans for the second time at Colma arena this afternoon. The fight ended in the twenty-1rst round, when Cans, beaten down by a succession of blows from his sturdy conqueror failed to get upon his feet within the count of 10 The veteran colored fighter was severely punished, but the champion, too, bore the marks of battle. From the first clang of the gong to the last moment Nelson forced the fighting, never giving ground and gradually battered down his op- ponent.
 Cans succumbed in the, twenty-f1rst round after being unmerclfully trounced. Nelson in this round rained right and left blows to the jaw and body, and Cans sank to the foor Mechanically, the now defeated fighter watched Referee Eddie Smith wave his hands, apparently too far gone to hear him count Not until the count of 10 was finished did Cans, his face terribly cut and his eyes glassy, attempt to rise. He realized, however, that it was too late and feebly declared:
 T possibly have fought my last bat tie"
 The fight was spectacular, and at no time did it appear that Cans had a chance to win. Time and time again he would shoot wicked punches to Nelsor's face and body, but the latter never for an in- stant wavered. Failing to arrest the rushing champion at any stage, Cans seemed to lose heart and gradually weak ened, though he often rallied and fought back fiercely. Referee Smith, after the fight, gave out the following:

HenIine's Great Hit.

After giving the visitors the game by careless work, the Barons, with the score , to against them, attempted to win out by hammering Shields. In the seventh, Smith opened with a terrific swat to deep right, and scored a mo- ment later on Meeks placed hit over second. The eighth was without special feature and in the ninth, as stated above, Henline cleared the bases with triple to deep right.

Notes of the Game.

The fans had a busy afternoon, derid- indg the Barons, cheering their miser- able efforts, and scoring Ftzsimmons for questionable decisions on balls and strikes.
 After the game, one fan, without knowing of Fitzsimmons proximity abused him roundly. Fitz called the in- dividual, who immediately apologized
 The filling the bases and clearing them without driving the ball from the diamond is a credit for the Memphii which has seldom if ever been duplicated.
 Meek is' a much better third baseman than one not seeing his work, would think. He has a fine arm, and is not such a bad fielder.

fixedly at poster by Mucha. She
started violently when she saw him,
but the lines of his face were 50
rigidly set and his eyes were so
intent upon absorbing every detail
of this impressionistic work, that
she might have stood by his side
with drawn veil without risk of
recognition. However, she did moth
ing bold. On the contrary, with her
heart all a-flutter and her eyes SO
dim-obscured by her veil and
starting tearS-that she could
scarcely find her way, though she
knew it so well, she made for the
room where her own picture hung.
How inconsequential the chatter
of the picture-gazers seemed to lisa
belf. Her own picture was never
left long in the cold of neglect, but
she cared not who praised or who
passed it by. The world could not
know that she had brought into it
the yearnings and regrets of six
lonely months. What a fool she had
been. If she had only known Well,
she did know now that Charles
Plummer was essentially her hap
piness. Life without him was a
blank. Would he see the meaning Of
her picture and forgiveY Would
he be glad to see her, or had he
found that what he once called the
bonds of freedom were, after all,
the shackles of servitudeY Her
heart spurned the thought Charles
had not been to blame, she told
herself in the new-found humility
of her deepened love. The fault
was hers, and hers alone.
She felt, almost without looking,
when he entered the room. She
was glad he took first the wall upon
which her picture hung, for the
strain of expectancy had become
almost unbearable. At last he was
there--right in front of her own
canvas-and, what was better,
practically alone. He was instantly
enchanted. She saw him look quick
ly at his catalogue and turn over
a page hurriedly to find the num-
Der of the picture. Then, for a
brief space, his eyes were as keenly
set upon the book as they had been
upon the picture Though she had
not catalogue in her hand, she
could, in imagination, see the whole
page, and follow him as he read his
own sonnet-the sonnet from the
album, which Eas. printed there I'M

Maud Muller Revised.

Maud Muller on a summers day with
her fellow ran away, in a benzine
touring car scooted TO a preacher far.
Her father saw the fleeing pair
smelled the benzine scented air;
caught a mule whose name was Jane,
and galloped down the dusty lane; the
mobile very swiftly ran but burned
the oil all out the can. The motor
stopped upon the hill, but Jane ran
on just fit TO kill. Alas for maid,
alas for man, for the empty benzine
can. Maud's daddy on the old gray
mule came and took her off TO school.
The mule nigh wrecked the benzino
cart; the fellow died of a broken
heart. The moral of this tale so sad:
Dom steal the girl, go ask her
dad"

through which the hen can pass TO a
box where the brood can roost and be
under shelter. Any kind of box two
feet square will serve the purpose by
simply cutting AN opening in the end
to correspond with the opening in the
coop. The chicks will pass out throug
the slate and hustle around for some
distance outside. but at the approach
of danger they quickly return to the
coop. Change the location of the coop
every few days SO that the ground will
not become foul. Many of these coops
can be placed around under the trees
and the chicks grow fast and are less
trouble than If tie hens have their Ii
