BIG ARENA TO BE A
GREAT UNDERTAKING

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2G.-
With the first plans for the bIg
arena at Emeryville now laid ont
by the architects, the gigantic un-
dertaking by the firm of Richard
and Gleason can best be pictured
in mind. The arena as it is now
planned on paper will be the
greatest amphitheater known TO
the history of modern ring gladia-
tors. The facts as cleaned from
figures, make the construction of
the arena the biggest undertaking
ever entered into by promoters.
Situated in the infield of the
Emeryville track, the arena will
be approximately 800 feet be-
tween two sides and octagonal In
shape. The arena has been de-
signed to seat 10000, with mad
ditional 10000 or more If the
occasion demands it. Half a mil
lion feet of lumber will be re-
quired for its construction.
The aisle arrangement Will
make 1t an easy matter for all to
be put in their proper seats. The
aisle room is unusually large. the
narrowest being IL feet.

Young and Criger in Double Harness Again;
Baseball's Most Famous Battery at Hot Springs
BY Tip Wright.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March 26.
-"Ladies and gentlemen, the bat
teries today are Young and Cri-
ger"
Prolonged cheering and rounds
of applause followed these words,
and no one heard the speaker
when he announced the opposing
battery. No one cared who the
other fellows were. Young and
Criger" meant more to the re-
sorters in the valley of vapors
than anything else possibly could
at the time.
What did they care If Bill Dab
lens all Brooklyn team waded
through the ranks of the All
American leaguers which had been
picked up to give bad Bits" out
fit a game? They wanted to see
the 43-year-young veteran of %
base ball seasons and his one time
partner working together again,
and the result of the game could
go hang.
ICY" Young, most famous of
pitchers, sports a Cleveland uni
form now, having been sold by
John l. Taylor, owner of the Bos-
ton club, the winter of 19OS-9.
Lou Criger wore a st. Louis uni
form last season, and this year
is member of the New York
Highlanders.
But there was a day when
Young and Criger" was a combina-
ton that won pennants for Bos-
ton. The two were cronies, not
only on the field, but off it, and
their names were linked as the
Damon and Pythias of base ball.
Mercenary base ball counted not
the friendship of these two stall
warts when Criger was sold to st.
Louis, and later Young went to-
Cleveland; but the Boston fans
voiced their disapproval in no I'M
certain manner. When Criger
and Young arrived in the Hub
with their respective teams they
were given ovations, and more

TIP WRIGHT
COLUMN
BY Tip Wright.

My gracious, how we detest
these fighters and this fighting
game!
Did you read the words of ad-
miration passed to Oscar Mat
thew Battling Nelson, pride of
Hegewisch, ILL.,. and one-time
champion lightweight of the
world?
Nelson was hammered to a
whisper by the indomitable VOL
CAST, who in the glory of his
youthful strength tore the con-
queror of Cans, Britt, Corbett ct
|al. to ribbons, but he failed to
conquer the Berserker courage of
the greatest lightweight since the
gamecock Kid Lavigne was in his
prime.
Defeated, but not beaten, is the
story of Battling Nelson in his
latest fight. There's no use point
ing out what might have been.
Wolgast is champion by virtue of
his skill. courage and endurance
But it was Nelson's name that
fell from the lips of the fans as
the battle progressed and during
the days which followed; and it
was Nelson's undaunted spirit and
gameness that makes him the
hero of every man who admires
such attributes.
Battling Nelson can now retire
with a fortune estimated in six
figures, and an ever increasing
income from well placed invest
ments. But he will not retire.
Not on your life. He has offered
Wolgast $4,000 to give him re-
turn match, and those who know
the Battler know this is not bluff.
We all remember how, after he
had been declared loser to Joe
Cans over the foul route in their
first engagement. Nelson went on
with Jimmie Britt and lost deci-
sion. Britt hit him at will and
Nelson made a poor showing.
Then the whalebone Dane did a
disappearing speciality. He went
into the mountains for a short
time and came forth a new man.
The rest worked wonders with
him, and in eight months of 1908
he knocked out Jack Clifford,
fought 10-round no-decision bat
ties with Britt and Unholz, a 15-
round darw with shifty Abe At
tell and twice knocked out Cans.
You want to keep your eye on
Nelson. for he is apt to repe&
this trick. OF course 1t is posi-
BILE the little wonder has gone
back. The beatings he has taken
may have Slapped his vitality and
he may never be the Battler of
old.
But no matter whether he ever
lifts five-ounce glove again, Bat
Ting Nelson has endeared himself
to every man who loves game
fighter, and the best is none too
good for him as long as he lives.
Honest, willing, game to the core,
he has thousands of admirers who
wish him nothing but good, and
here's to his long life and health.

Old Kid Trick Revived
for Use In Major League

II the pitcher Is unwary and
'momentarily forgets about the
man on third, he is apt to throw
to second, and the runner on
third. If a fast man, is mighty apt
to score. But If the pitcher knows
his business, and throws quickly
to third, he is apt to catch the
runner off that bag.
II this stunt is tried with two
men out, and the pitcher comes
through as the offense calculates,
the duty of the man going to sec.
ond is to hold up between the
bases until the runner from third
scores.
| With none out, or but one out
If the play is made for the man
on third, the chance for the rum
ner from first reaching second
and even getting around to third
base is bright.
The play is full of possibilities,
and quick thinking players can
take advantage of the variations
as they arise.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March 26.
Here is an old play we used to
work when l was kid, playing on
the lots, but it appears to be good
enough for major leaguers. Even
IL 1t isn't new, it may pile up a
few runs this season.
The play is possible only when
a man is on third base and the
man at bat is hit by pitched ball.
or walked. 1t is a simplification
of the double steal.
The man who goes to first when
hit by a pitched ball or by virtue
of four balls, naturally stops when
he reaches the base, while the
pitcher goes through the prelimi-
nary to pitching to the next bat
ter.
In this case, however, the base
runner no sooner reaches the
base than he starts off on a run
for second, for the express pur-
pose of drawing the pitchers
throw.
