husband is critically i'll at their home

Neighbors heard groans and poundings
coming from the Tarry house yesterday

called in : but their efforts to relieve
Mrs. larry were futile, and she died
shortly after their arrival. Little hope

Gently played its first winning game.
The next day Fred bennett, commits
sioner of the general land office, wan

absence.
There We're only nine men from the

said bennett. Don't you think we
could get more men out? You know In

land office and the Indian office to fur

Il think something should be done
about it myself" agreed Valentine.
'That was a good pitcher you had
in yesterday" said bennett; "have you
any more like that little fellow?'
Il really didn't know he was in my
Office" said Valentine. Whereupon he
pressed a button and sent for the
pitcher. 1t was the first time the young
man had ever been summoned before
his chief and he came in fully expect

very much
But my arm wasn't in shape at all.

See here" said Valentine, "you

If we have only nine men we have no
substitutes. Sc if you can't get the

parted.

up and are very ready to mix it. A
fight between two men of the distinc-
tive type that Hyland and Nelson
represent naturally would be expected
to be a slow affair, but there is every
reason to believe the battle will be
broken and that the battle will be a
desperate and savage one.
Nelson must fight hard to retain his
title and can be depended upon to
work with all his might and main for
a quick finish. Hyland, by the same
token, will make the try Of his life,
for victory means thousands Of dol
lars to him. His fortune is assured if
he wins the championship, and realiz-
ing this, he is leaving nothing undone
! is preparing for the fight of his life.
He and his manager, Jack Perkins, are
supremacy confident that the Danes
measure will be taken; but Nelson, of
course, can't see it that way.
The lightweights performed to ca
pacity houses in their respective
training camps yesterday. Nelson put
on quite a program at Millett's, going
two rounds each with six of his SPAR
ring partners.
At Crolls, Hyland cut his boxing
stunts short because the crowd was SO
large he could not get around. Jeff
Perry and frankie Smith will fight a
10 round preliminary TO the champion
ship battle.
Mike Twin Sullivan and Kyle Whit
ney who fight for the welterweight
championship of the world at Dream
land tomorrow night, are tapering off
today.
Both scrappers are within a few
ounces of the weight. Several fans
watched Sullivan work out at Shan
mons villa Sunday afternoon and be-
tween training stunts they were re-
called with music by the Mission Glee
club. The Hague quartet and Steve

NELSON -HYLAND
BOUT ST|RS FANS
Fighting Dick Knows That Victory
Means Thousands of Dollars-Fight
Fans Busy With the Dope.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 25-The
fight sharps have hauled out their
dope books and are busy figuring Dick
Hyland's chances in his fight with
Battling Nelson at the Mission arena
next Saturday afternoon. When they
finished it is 10 to l that they'll say
Hyland doesn't figure at all, that his
record is far from being impressive
and that he has never done anything
that would entitle him to be figured
as having a chance with the Dane.
Quite right. so far as the book dope
goes. but past performances are not
always good things to bank on. Form
occasionally goes wrong.
Hyland has fought four men whose
names appear in Nelson's record. They
are Johnny Thompson, Young Corbett,
Eddie Hanlon and Rudy Unholz Mel
son defeated Corbett twice, once in 10
rounds and again in nine. Hyland set
tied Corbett in five rounds, but the
Corbett he met was not the same boy
that Nelson slowed away, therefore
Hyland's performance against the
Denverite should not be given too
much weight.
Nelson defeated Hanlon in 10 rounds
and Hyland turned the trick in 10
Again Hyland fails to gain by the
comparison, because Hanlon was all IN
when they met, whereas the little
Californian was near his best notch
when he succumbed to the battler
Nelson secured a six-round decision
over Johnny Thompson when the
Illinois cyclone was at his best, later
lost to him in nine rounds on foul,
and in their third meeting fought him
leo rounds to a draw. Unholz was Civ
en- credit for having beaten Nelson all
the way in their 10-round no-decision
affair in Los Angeles. Hyland beat
the Boer to a hard-bciled finish in six
rounds.
Comparison of Fighters.
This is as far as a comparison OF
past performances can go, but com
parison of the two fighters, one
against the other, is interesting. Mel
son is feet 1-2 inches and Hylan6
| 5 feet inches. Nelson is 81 years
old and Hyland "a. Hyland is oil
stocky build, heavily muscled and Nell
son is of the lathy, why type. On the
score of strength it is about a stand
off but when it comes to question
of endurance. the Dane probably wins
Hyland is the more scientific, is credit
| ed with having a more damaging

had only to reach into the strangely
illumined heavens and grasp the sword
of God for the destruction of the ma

sight for a moment of the impending
terror, slept fitfully in the open lest
the doom might come upon them un-

the threat of the breaking of the seals,
the opening of the walls and the great
last day when the heavens should roll
up like scroll and mans doom should
be recorded eternally.
Nor was this only in the childhood of
the world; it did not vanish with the
ages of darkness. A generation yet
in it's prime is moved to bewilderment
now when it recalls that not many
years ago it debated what would hap
pen to the earth should comet really
strike it, as then seemed imminent. 1t
refused to be treasured until it had
received comforting words from its
leading astronomers.
For nearly 500 years a story has
lived that Pope Calixtus III, issued a
solemn bull against a comet and order
ed the church bells to be rung to af%
fright the threatening monster. 1t so
represented the spirit of the time that
the story has received the most wide
spread currency and the most implicit
faith. If any ecclesiastic had fought
the powers of darkness with the pow
ers of light the faithful would have
felt that he was doing no more than
his duty with the forces committed to
his hand.
But this story, though almost con-
temporary in its, origin, is now proved
to be a fabrication. It was Halley's
comet, our coming visitor, of which
the tale is told, for CaliXtus III sat on
the Vatican throne in 1856. Only re-
Gently have curious scholars bethought
themselves that papal bull is never
lightly issued; that the cartularies of
the Vatican have been kept with the
most scrupulous accuracy when civil
states have no records whatever. The
bulls of CaliXtus were not many in his
short pontifcate, and in them not one
line deals with celestial affairs OF a
purely physical heaven. The first
mention of the incident is found in the
"Vitae Pontificum" of Platina, publish
ed in Venice in 1479 only so much as is
contained in the following translation:
