BATTLING NELSON'S DEFEAT

The sensational defeat of Battling
Nelson by the Englishman Moran at
San Francisco on the 26th ult. came
as a surprise to a large number of
the fans, despite the fact that Moran
was a slight favorite just before the
fight In his account of the contest,
William J. Slattery, in the Call, re =
marks:
For the first time since he began
his sensational fighting career some
IA years ago Battling Nelson crouched
on his knees in the center of Blot's
arena while the fatal Mine, ten;
you're out" were being tolled over
his helpless form in the eleventh
round. A few feet away stood owen
Moran, The British lightweight, poised
and ready to deliver another punch
should the once great lightweight rise
to his feet again.
But Nelson did not rise till after
Referee Ben Selig had counted him
out. And he was out beyond the
question of a doubt. Five times he
fell in that fatal eleventh round four
times under the shower of blows
which the Englishman rained on his
head, and once to avoid punishment.
Two seconds after the contest had Of
ficially ended Nelson was on his feet
shouting that he did not hear the
count shouting that he was not out,
clamoring for another chance at his
victorious opponent.
But it was too late. The toughest
nut in the ring" had been cracked
and cracked decisively. He might
have risen, he might possibly have
stalled the round out, but he was beat
en- fairly and squarely, beaten by a
better man, a man who had the adj
vantage over him from the moment
the bell sounded the opening of the
first round till the last blow had been
struck.
A tremendous right hand swing,
which Moran started just as the men
came out of a clinch, sealed the fate
of the Dane. The Britisher measured
his man to a nicely. The punch land
ed flush on Nelson's jaw and he top
pied over on his back, the blood
streaming from his nose and mouth.
Fully half of the battle mad crowd
felt certain that Nelson would not rise
again. He looked to be gone beyond
human aid. But, true to his old time
gameness, the Battler rose weak and

BELIEVES IN MESSAGES
FROM SPIRIT WORLD.

LONDON, November 27.-Rev. r.
]. Campbell has declared himself a
believer in spiritualism. Preaching at
the City Temple today, he said he
freely admitted the dangers attendant
upon the practice of necromancy and
the demoralizing effect it produced on
some sensitive natures. He also ad-
mitted and deplored the vulgar trick
cry and fraud associated with it. He
admitted, too, that it did not conduce
to spirituality.
Nevertheless he was absolutely con-
vinced that future generations would
no more be able to denythe actuality
of such communications than to deny
that the earth goes around the sun.

HOW THE NAVY
BEAT THE ARMY

The Navy in hard and clean game
of football at Philadelphia on Novem-
Der 26 before large and enthusiastic
crowd, defeated it's old rivals, the
army, by three to nothing After six
attempts to boot the ball from place
ment over the West Point goal line,
Dalton, the sturdy right halfback of
midshipmen, succeeded in his seventh
effort, and the three points which he
had been striving for, looked good to
the navy and proved to be sufficient TO
win the game.
1t was a pretty kick, squarely be-
tween the goal posts, and was made
toward the end of the last period of
the play. The kick almost broke the
army's heart, 'but, true to the ira
ditions of the teams that have fought
West Point before them, the army
stuck to it and did not show the white
feather.
The navy deserved the victory, for
the midshipmen put up a sterling
game and outplayed the cadets from
the initial kickoff down to the instant
when Field Judge Fultz threw up
his hand and declared the contest at
an end.
OF Dalton's seven attempts at goals
from the field three were made from
the 80 yard line, the last of which sue
ceeded; one from the 10 yard line, one
from % yards, another from 80 and
one mighty effort 81 yards from the
army goal. All but three carried to
the goal line, but the stiff wind from
the northwest carried the ball to one
side of the goal posts.
Dean, the star punter of the army,
made two attempts at field goals, one
from the A yard line and the other
at As yards, but neither of the kicks
came near a score.
The frequency with which resort
was made to this method of attempt
ing to score was because of the diff
Guilty each team had in advancing the
bail consistently. The midshipmen
played a fine offensive game, and
there were few times throughout the
so minutes of action, that the mid
shipmen did not have the cadets on
the defensive.
The game will go down in football
annals of West Point and Annapolis
as one of the cleanest and best ever
played between. the institutions.
