you can't discount Sullivan's style
of getting himself known. He was
a great press agent and a good. whole

him, but he was an awful grandstand

ever knock out? George Rookie. Joe
Goss. Fred Crossley. AL Marx and
Paddy Ryanl Who did he beat? Why,
lot of dubs you never heard OF in
most cases in little semi exhibition
affairs. Who are the really big men
he fought? Charley Mitchell, Jake Kill
rain and Jim Corbett He drew with
Mitchell, won finally over Kilrain and
lost to Corbett. What is there about
that record that entities him to any
claim to be the champion of cham

walloped him good and so would some

a new man, and does not complain.
But he demands that Wolgast make

"meet any deserving lightweight" :"
And those who know Nelson's won

forced to admit that he is one of the

Those who saw him go down to de-

Toronto, ont, Feb. 24.--In the COM
petition for the Ontario tankard just
closed, William J. McNabb and his re-
markable team of young curriers', rep
resenting the Grand Rapids, Mich club,
attracted the most attention. They
did not win the coveted Ontario tank
ard, but succeeded in fighting their
way to the finals, where they were de-
feated by the Toronto GRANTEES. ac-
knowledged to be the strongest team in
Canada.
The remarkable feature of this team
is that It is composed entirely of young
men under 25 years of age, none of
whom has been curling over three
years. William j. McNabb, skip,
demonstrated his clever generalship
time and again, and the concensus of
opinion among the older heads was
that Skip McNabb and his team were
made of good stuff.

Jimmy Coffroth: Nelson's gone
back. He showed the effect of too
many ring beatings He was poorly
handled by his seconds.
Jack Gleason: Age told the same
old story.
Tex Rickard: Wolgast beat Nelson
at his own game and deserves all
credit. 1t was the greatest light
weight battle ever fought.
Eddie Graney: Nelson was slower
than of old, but wolgast earned the
title. He is a wonderful fighter.
Referee Eddie Smith: I'd have been
brute to have permitted the fight to

THURSDAY EVENING. AUG. -

The first days session Of the State
Firemen's Convention at the Opera
House yesterday was one OF the most
pleasant and harmonious gatherings
held in this city for long time. The
members were, in scriptural parlance,
of one accord, and they had met pro
bono publico. They are the represcn-
tative firefghters Of the Old Dominion
animated by one noble purpose
cor to their feilow-beings at times
when acts of substantial friendship
count so much. The proceedings were
devoid of contention, save the noble
contention OF who can best work and
best agree. In reality, brethren were
dwelling together in unity. In Alex
andria, as well as in all sections OF the
commonwealth, prominent and repre-
sentative citizens are active iiremen-
Their services are rendered gratutOusly
as are those in all communities who
realize it is their duty to fill compll-
mentary positions which call for respon-
sibilty and often considerable thought
and labor This is the second time the
state convention has met IN AlcXan
dria. The members were pleased with
their experience in this city on the first
occasion. There is every reason to be
lieve they will leave for their homes at
the close of the week with many more
pleasant recollections Of our city, where
George Washington unhesitatingly per-
formed his duty as a fireman shortly
before he assumed command of the con-
tinental army.
