session five miscues netted the opposl-

factor In their victory.
Two hits and an error gave lexington
Its first run in the opening round. In tbs
fourth Murphy was passed. stole Sec

DICK NELSON'S YARN
ABOUT PURSE MONEY

Fighting Dick Nelson is sort Of
Battling Nelson, if what the New York
boxing writer's say is correct.
He is Dane. the same az Battling
Nelson, but is Of no relation. Nelson
started his boxing career in the same
sensational manner in which the BattleT
jumped into the pugillstic limeIight, al
though IL was with a different opponent.
When Nelson fought Fitzgerald he was
picked out as an easy mark, for the
way the money was split showed that
Nelson was easY in the business sense
OF the match, but, as for hshtIng, he
displayed MS supremacy Over tiJz-
gerald.
According to the way the money was
divided, Nelson after licking Fitzgerald,
got but $3.50 for his share, while ac-
cOrding TO the way the articles were
drawn up Fitzgerald received $500 OF the
81, $50, the club pulling the bout getting
s653.50 for its bit Unless Nelson agreed
10 FitZgeralds S terms he would not
have gotten the match, for Fitzgerald
demanded that he go out and get a
reputation, and il so turned out that
Nelson did get one, and at the expense
of Fitzgerald, though the latter got
away with the big end of the money.
Nelson Is now getting ready for his
bout with Soldier Burns before the
Eureka Athletic Club at the Germania
AiaennerchOr Hall in Baltimore next
Thursday night, but there will be no
such division OF the money as ia his
bout with Fitzgerald.

FREE GAME SCHEME
STRIKES BIG SNAG

PITTsBURG Sept. 12.-Among his
other Ideas Andrew Carnegie had one
that the gate at a college football
game should be free.
So out in Pittsburg at his "Tech"
he brought it about that last season
there was no charge for contests on
the gridiroP. 1t goes without saying
that there wtce no banks of empty
seats at any o. the games. il that was
any consolation.
But visiting teams must get their
expenses at least, and a little bit more
If possible They have bills for coach
ing and uniforms that must be met.
You cannot play the game without
paying the bills.
Lehigh was invited out to play the
Thanksgiving game with Tech" After
the game, which was viewed by ZOO
who would have been willing to nav a
fair price. there was found to be a big
deficit IL the treasury OF the Tech

EVERS THROWS LIGHT
ON SLUMP OF REDS

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Johnny Evers,
second baseman Of the Cubs. tells a
story that throws some light on why
Cincinnati isn't in the first division.
Says Evers: "One of the most peculiar
plays I ever bumped into for a long
time happened at Cincinnati In one of
our games down there this spring Hug
gins failed 10 cover on a throw. and
afterWaTd 1 asked him why he didn't
go over.
He answered il wasn't his turn: the
shOrtstOp should have gone.
mo wonder Cincinnati falls down.
That kind Of mechanical play will beat
any team.
Bases must be covered according
10 the batter and tie kind of a bail
that is to be pitched to him. or he
is likely to pull it through the spot
where the helGer running TO cover a
base was standing.
''Of course. that happens even with
the best teams. but nothing ike as
often as with those which play me-
chanical ball"

Sullivan, secured from the Kansas City
team in the American Association and
considered the star backstop Of the
association, is no longer a Pirate.
Sullivan joined the Pirates last week
at Cincinnati He participate in sew
ersl games and showed magnificent
form. After every one was taking OF
their hats TO him, he went 10 Fred
Clarke and asked him about his salary
for the remainder OF the season. Drey-
fuss told him that he ought to be glad
of the chance to work for him, without
thinking anything about salary. FL
nally, he made him an offer. and Suili-
van fell over backward

I was playing with Oskaloosa," de-
clared Sullivan. When Dreyfuss saw
that the yOungster was determined not
