foreign affairs.
According to the family death was
due to complications following an at

1t is widely reported here however.
that the earl's fatal illness followed
wounds received during a duel in which
he is said 10 have taken part in Paris
some days ago
Earl Percy was the eldest son and
aelr of the seventh Duke of Northumb
erland. He had represented South Ken
sington in parliament since 1895. In
l9O2-O3 he was under-secretary of state
for India and in the two succeeding
years under-foreign secretary. He was
born in 1871 and was unmarried. His
home was in London.
The death of the earl, when it be-
came known here today, created some.
thing of sensation among those who
are more or less acquainted with the
tnglishman's affairs. The theory or q
duel is credited in high quarters where
it is believed that the family is sup
pressing the facts
Specials from Paris TODAY state that
the physicians and others Immediately
interested say positively that the earl
had not taken part in duel. No proof
is obtainable. the dispatch adds, that
the death was due to other than nat

Earl Percy Of London Is
Dead in Paris.
Physicians Say That He Died
From Acute P|eurisy.
Persistent Rurior OF Duel With
Pistols Credited in London.

Paris, Dec 30-Earl Percy of Lon
don, a meclber OF the British Parlia-
ment and formerly British under-sec-
rotary OF state for foreign affairs, died
here today from acute pleurisy.
Death occurred at a second-class
hotel, and the fact that the earl had
occupied these humble lodgings creat-
ed the impression that there was some-
thing mysterious in connection with his
illness. 1t was rumo:ed that he had
been shot while engaged in a duel out
size ii Paris a few days ago. These
stories We're denied today by the at
tending physicians. -. e..
The hotel management explained that
Earl Percy arrived there last week
in perfect health, having engaged
rooms in advance. 1t was his custom,
itW as said, to stop at this hotel when
over he visited the city. On last Sun
lay he experienced chill which was
followed with congestion and acute
oleurisy
Despite assurances of those who
should knew to the contrary, the ru,
nor persists today that the earl re-
ceived mortal wounds in a duel with
pistols. His challenger is reported to
have been an Englishman in whose
family the earl had been received as
Il friend. The story continues that the
two men became bitter enemies and left
England to settle their grievance
quietly on the outskirts of Paris. "A
bullet, it is said passed through the
earl's lungs. 1e.
H. Austin Lee, counsellor of the Brit
ish embassy here, declared that the
story of duel was a preposterous in
Vention. The physicians state that
death was immediately due to heart
failure following an acute inflammation
OF the lungs.

BAT NELSON HAS
I ANNEXED FORTUNE

Time brings about changes in all
walks of life and boxers, as a rule,
have some very rapid changes. Battl-
ing Nelson, the lightweight champion,
had some wonderful changes In his
line during the past ten years: IN
fact, much like some OF the heroes in
Golfers Weekly. Now Just imagine a
young fellow without a penny in his
pocket, not even enough to train on.
with good fight In prospect, and six
years later able to sign check for
100000 Well, that about tells the
financial history Of the Battler during
a period of six years. from early In
1904 till the present time.
1t was in 1908 that Battling Nelson
was fighting around Milwaukee, hut
only in bouts Of second-class and in
the semi fnals. 1t was on Jan. 1s.
1904, that he defeated Art Simms by
the knockout route, but Art was con-
sidered pretty much all in and the
Battler did not get full credit for his
work. Right after that the Badger
club Of Milwaukee was slipped I'm on
a bout and then the matchmaker de-
cided to see how the Battler would
draw against a good man.
Jack O'Neill of Philadelphia at that
time was strong card in the east
and he was secured as Bats opponent
After the9 match wasS made Nelson
went to an eastern writer and said.
"Ge, I've got to get that fight because
need the money to help paw off a
debt on our home at Hegewich and 7
must have some to train on" Well
the Battler borrowed SO or SIS and
got in good shape for the fight. He
defeated 0'Neill In splendid bout and
that was the beginning of his ia
nous march through the west to the
championship. Teddy Murphy, the bow
manager, had the Battler In tow and
his advancement after that is well
known.
Bat did not forget to repay the loan
and he remarked at that time that he
had enough left to send to his mother
Bat had the right idea and he has
kept pretty close to that path ever
since.
1t was a pretty good jump-from
borrowing $40 to having 500, 000-Aut
that Is what the husky Battler has
done and he is still on the road to a

Goal posts are usually about 15C

point for each time the ball goes be-

points is not arbitrarily fixed.

Heydler is not big enough for the
