BATTLING NELSON
LIGHT FAvORITE
Los Angeles Fans Pick Dane to
Beat BOer at Odds Of
Toto g.

Los Angeles, Feb. Those who s4ec-
ulate upon the result OF boxing eon-
tests have made Bat Nelson a 10 to 9
favorite over Unholz and this represents
the opinion of the majority of the fans
as to the relative abilities of the two
fighters. Unholz made a great showing
against George Memsic recently. but it
is freely admitted by those who saw
the fight that Memsic utterly failed to
show anything like his real form and
put up the poorest fight of his local
career. Had he not permitted Unholz
TO kid" him into frenzy, which pre-
vented him from seeing the Boer i'm the
ring, there might have been a different
result and it is this sort OF figuring that
has made Nelson the favOrite for the
scrap next Tuesday night.
1t must be admitted, however, that
Bat had shown so well in training that
few fans now take any stock in the
stories 10 the effect that he is all in
and prefer to believe that the Dane
probably is as good as ever. They also
figure that if he is anything like the
fighter who battled forty-twO rounds
with Cans at Goldfield. he will defeat
the Boer.
Nelson seems Immune.
Nelson seems immune TO a knockout
punch and undoubtedly is the greatest
fighting machine III the world. If he
has all his oldtime stamina. and he in
Sists that such is the case, the Boer is
up against a tough proposition.
There is no getting around the fact
that Unholz is one of the best boys i'm
the lightweight division today, how
ever. and his awkward style Of fighting,
combined with abundant confidence and
an excellent WallOp in either hand,
makes him an enigma to all form play
ers He has done all that has been
asked of him in the ring and must be
reckOned as a factor in future near
championship elimination trials. There
are no gamer fighters than this pair
and Nelson has nothing on the Boer In
this regard. Each is willing TO go in
and mix it to the knockout which both
are predicting as the end of hostilities.
Will Be Real Fight.
Much interest is manifested in tn
meeting of the Dane and the BOer be-
cause it will be a real fight, with nc
frills and fancy diving stunts to vary
the monotony of the WallOps. How
ever, the greatest interest arises in the
fact that the world is anxious TO get
real line on Nelson at this time, being
much in the dark as TO whether he has
gone back or is the same old dtFable
one of yore. His workouts inoscate
that he is as good as ever. and he in
sists that such is the case, but after
Tuesday night fight fans all over the
world viii be able to pass intelligent
judgment in the premises.
Memsic is recuperating ald rusticat-
ing at Murietta and is haDkering for
fight with anybody who can make the
lightweight limit. He has been sore at
himself ever since the fight with the
Boer and it will be no difficult matter
TO arrange a scrap between him ana the
winner for an early day. Memsic is
anxious to get Nelson for a large side
bet and in the event that Bat de
feats the Boer, they probably will be
matched

There is no denying that the pu-
gilistic game is just about down and

IF some of the really clever and

organize a national commission to su-
pervise the lighting game, it would be
a grand thing-not only for the sport,
but for the public.

Let the Public In.

Flight arrangements would then be
made in the open. The public would
not be kept guessing all the time.
Fake fights could not be carried out
successfully, for the commission
would be there to investigate. with the
power of ruling the takers out of the
fight game for life.
You hear of baseball players being
blacklisted for jumping contracts or
doing crooked work. Jockeys and
owners are ruled off the turf, for COM
hitting crimes that come to light. The
A A. L. suspends athletes who are
found guilty of infractions of amateur
rules and il soon rids itself of those
convicted of professionalism.
Under existing conditions boxing is
classed among the lowest forms of hu-
man endeavor, while the boxer is
looked upon as one of the lowest
classes of humanity. A commission to
govern the sport could remedy this and
also make an organized fight against
unjust legislation and police interfer-
ence'

CONDITIONS BETTER

W. 5. Lal.sh Finds Denver Busy and
Salt Lake Confident Of the
Future.

Entirely optimistic in his views of
the immediate future of this district,
as we'll as of Denver and Salt Lake,
is w. S. Larsh, of the Cumberland
Ely. who returned last evening from
a visit of several weeks to Denver.
Not alone are conditians becoming
better in the cities he visited but
stronger feeling is growing, he states.
In Denver. while there is not what
could be called boom at present,
there is a great deal of building be-
ing done while much more is con-
templated. The general feeling
seems to be that in spite of the fact
that this is q presidential year and
some depression will be evident in
business circles until the deciding
vote has been cast, things will pick
up right along from now on.
Ely is much talked of on the out
side and | had many inquiries as to

Man Who Attempted to Protect Her

greatly to his discomfort. After
ward she tried to break into his
shop but was finally sent about her
business.
The fight between the three
suuaws, who were all very drunk,
started about 10 o'clock in the morn
ing and for Is minutes was as good
a scrap as has been seen here for
many a day. Number one and two
evidently had a grudge against num-
Der three and were taking 1t out. She
was a portly dame. however, and
managed to hold her own against her
less heavy antagonists. Plessner,
near whose place the fight occurred,
finally getting tired of the noise,
called to the women to get out.
The two assailing squaws were evil
IDENTIFY glad of the chance to get away
and took to their heels at once. Not
so number three. With visage dark
ened with anger she staggered to-
ward the door of the barber shop and
asked Plessner what he meant. She
expressed her indignation at the at
tempted dismissal in no savory terms,
ending by throwing herself against
the door and trying to pound it open.
Plessner managed to hold his own
and with the aid of another man who
came to his rescue sent the woman
about her business. She left mutter-
ing threats of dire vengeance upon
the other women and the man who
dared tell her to get out, which
she seemed to consider crowning
insult to the daughter of the original
Americans.

the deceased came up from Shelter.

PROBABLY NO PULLMAN.

While a good many people will go
from the district Monday to take part
in the festivities attendant on arrival
of the fleet at San Francisco, it does
not now appear probable that suffi-
Gent reservations will be made in
advance to enable the putting on OF
a special Pullman by the Northern
to go direct through from this city.
Preference for Pullman accommoda-
tions on the through Southern Pa
cific trains has been expressed by
many on the ground that this SER
vice will be better than that which
might be afforded on car secured
for Ely by the railroad. While this
is doubtful it is not out of the range
of probability, though the larger con-
venience a direct car would AFFORD
ought to Offset the difference.
