Bats Two Statements Sadly
At Variance and Cause Talk
By W. W. Naughton.

fight that was going to make WOlgaSt
look like go cents"
I remember when Terry McGovern
was floored by Young Corbett that
! Thanksgiving afternoon at Hartford
! When Terry hit the boards with a dull
distinct thud aud his second yelled to
him to stay down he bounced up again
and began butting against the ropes.
as though he wanted to walk out Of
the ring and across the heads of the
crowd Now, a fellow who is used to
being knocked down would have re-
manned on the carpet and taken as
much of the count as the law allowed
It was a new experience to Terry and
he did not know how to act He want
ed TO keep up and doing and in his
dazed condition it was the easiest
thing in the world for the hard punch
ing little Denverite to give him his
quietus.
New to Bat Nelson.
In the same way this thing Of being
punched into submission is compare
lively a new experience 20 Bat Nelson
and he has not learned the trick Of ac-
knowled cling defeat gracefully.
He knows how to explain a victory
and 20 give the other man credit for
being "a good, game fellow" and all
the rest of it, but he does not seem to
know how to change gear and view
things from the standpoint of loser
Maybe if he continues m the game he
will become more of a philosopher and
leave himself less open to censure.
AID Wolgast, according TO all &C
counts, has demanded the sum of $12,-
500 as one of the conditions on which
he will agree to box Owen Moran in the
spring. If Wolgast is left alone the.
chances are he will change his terms
It is as plain as the nose on ones face
that the important matches of 1911 will
be confined to the lightweight division
There is no dearth apparently of 1876
pound men and it will be easy enough
to keep the pugilistic ball rolling and
allow Mr.. Wolgast to continue sulking
in his tent.
FriscO's Latest Contribution.
San Francisco's latest contribution to
the lightweight class. Mr.. "One Round"
Hogan, is a youngster who will make
friends for. himself wherever ringside
crowds are gathered. In his work he
is neat without being snowy. He is one
of the best two handed boxers develop
ed in the city in many years and. would
be able to give a good account of him

second time we turn the trick the bat
ter will clout one through my legs in
stead of bunting. Well, he's liable to
do that anyway, and if he should hap
pen to clout one the other way, it
would be better to have the first base
man playing back for him. / can see
no reason why the plan wouldn't hold
the baserunner closer to the bag and
prevent his running wild.
There's no doubt in my mind that
the third baseman, pitcher and catcher
are enough men to handle all hunts. so
why should the first baseman be drawn
in, too. thus breaking up the entire in
field and allowing the base runner to
take such liberties. Of course, the play
applies when there is runner on first
but that's the condition that exists for
St4ytytt t-frffrc-rcrrr OF the bunting
don't know how many managers will
agree with me on this scheme, but I'd
just like to try it out and if it won't
work, then I'm ready to go back to
shortstop and keep my mouth shut"
Joe said he had never suggested the
scheme to manager Frank Chance or
anyone else. and made it plain that he
was not after Harry Steinfeldts job at
third base either. But he said that if
there was to be a change made at third
base next year. he would ask for
chance to be tried and once on the job
he intends to request that his scheme
Of breaking up the bunting game be
practiced and put into operation
If it works with anything like the
accuracy and precision of Tinker's
plans on paper, it would soon be adopt
ed by all the major league clubs and
then such fleet footed athletes as Ty
Cobb, Eddie Collins, Bob Bescher. Hans
Lobert and Larry Doyle would find half
their prowess on the base lines elimin-
ated.

assured there was man on eacn pase

"I should judge that having the first

Blood Poison can never be cured with mercury
or potash. You might well know this first as
last. Medical authorities say The most these
drugs can do is to drive the blood poison back
into the system and smother it for several years.
Then when you think you are cured, pitiful mer-
curry symptoms will break out, and you find that
your bones have been rotting ali the while Your
teeth will begin to loosen and your tissues
glands. brain and vital organs will show the
terrible destructive power of the mercury and

In which Was He Sincere.
In which interview did Nelson speak
the truth?
He is generally regarded as defeat

hands Of the public for the reason that
he has always given the public a

If he really said in Detroit on the
date named that he was not in condi-

condition for the Wclgast affair he did
not give the public a square deal on
that occasion He allowed the public
to bet on him. He went further. He
encouraged and stimulated betting by

that he was $3.50 percent better than
when he boxed Wolgast before in Los
