Should Battling Nelson and Stanley
Ketchel go through with their plan of
a trip around the world they should be
able to collect considerable loose
change. But there is one thing in con-
nection with the trip which is almost
as important as the financial question.
Here it is: Nelson may be able to
teach Stanley Ketchel some good points
about quitting the "wine, woman and
song" game. Stanley is a fast" boy
out of the ring. it is said. and his
mode of living has been costly to him
Therefore he will get a chance to study
few things by watching Nelson. Had
the Battler hit the high spots as
Ketchel did. he would not now be
champion. 1t is doubtful if he would
ever have reached the championship
goal Nelson always behaved himself
and that is why he has been success
full in the ring.
Had the Battler given up mis- evenings
to wine, woman and song, he might
never have gotten away with Welsh,
Herrera Candle, Young Corbett, Britt,
Cans and others.
That proposed foreign trip, while it
has only been ''doped'' out, lacks many
details, but there is reason to believe
that the Dane would go through with
any good arrangement that might be
made Ketchel has no good reasons
for remaining in this country for the
present, as there is little in sight for
him just now. In England, France and
Australia he might get the money, CIV
ing exhibitions with the Batter and If
opportunity presented he might en-
gage in a few real battles He would
not have much trouble whipping the
best in stock across the pond or at the
other end of the globe
1t is the opinion of many that Nell
sons star as money getter before the
footlights is practically out. He does
rot draw the money he did a year or
two ago and the only chance he has
of getting an additional wad is to mix
it up in a real fight.

them, although his display of nerve
his judgment or the judgment of his
manager Tom Jones. When the pair
threw away the chance of a fight with
Battling Nelson they did something
which caused surprise. And it might
also be remarked that WoIgast's ac-
tons have lost friends for him.
10 the man up the tall hickory tree
1t appears that Wolgast missed the one
best beta chance to win the light
weight championship without standing
who declare that "a is actually afraid
OF the Dane. Far from it! Wolgast
would fight Jeffries if there was enough
money in sight.
The little Michigan wonder wanted
$4,000 for his bit to fight the champion.
He was offered $500 and tossed it
away, declaring that he believed he
was worth $4,000 and would hold out
for that figure.
Nelson was originally offered $4,000
by Sid Hester and held out for S13. 600,
an increase of $1,000. Finally the coast
promoter came across with $11,50O and
$500 expense money-$12 900 in all. The
Dane accepted and just about the time

the championship does not come to

many who wouldn't even hesitate to
get into the ring with the HegewiscT
wonder. They hold that Nelson has
teen champion long enough and is due
for a whipping. And they are right,
too, although Nelson believes different.
From here it appears that Wolgast
should have accepted the SO, 500 to fight
Nelson. But he refuses and now
threatens to go to Australia for a year
or two. Good 1uck-but he won't get a
chance to be the worlds lightweight
champion in Australia

QUICKsAND HINDERs WORK.
Arkansas River Swallows Bags Thrown
in to Fill Gap.

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 18.-In spite of
the efforts of more than 100 men and
dozens of teams, working in relays
since Saturday, the water supply of the
city remains in danger of being cut Off
The men are attempting to fill up the
big gap which the water has washed
around the east end of the Central ave-
nue. bridge on the Little Arkansas river,
over which crosses the big supply pipe
from the pumping station. The pipe
hangs suspended over this gap. The
workmen are also trying to blow out
the dam which is just below the bridge,
in order that the current may be
changed.
Thousands Of bags of sand have been
thrown into the gap, but they sink in
the Quicksand at the bottom of the
river. The continued warm weather is
keeping the Little Arkansas river up
A cold snap would avert the threat
ened cutting off of the water supply.
The city has been handicapped in not
being able to get dynamite with which
to blow up the dam. Eighty pounds
was secured from the Missouri Pacific
and special car brought in 200 pounds
from E. Dorado. It is believed this will
be enough to make a large gap in the
dam, which is constructed mostly of
loose stone.

MeFarland's trip to foreign soil is

DARK DAYS FOR THE RABBITS.
Pawnee County Commissioners Paid
Bounty on 1.O24 ScaIrs in One Day.

Larned, Kan, Jan. 18.-The county
commissioners put bounty of cents
on each rabbit scalp, killed between
January and June 6, 1910. Already
$500 rabbit scalps have been cashed
In to the county clerk, and the stove
in the clerks office has been busy
burning them.
1t is reported that there are thou
sands of rabbits in the county, more
than ever before, and they are doing
great damage to the corn that is still
in the field and by digging around the
alfalfa and wheat roots. J. H. Ried-
erer and Curtis Monger were down
from Rozel Saturday and they said
the rabbits went in herds up there.
They made a guess that the county
would buy from 10000 to 10000 scalps
between now and June 6.
The largest number brought in any
one day was 1924. F. J. Spreier and
Mr.. Lattas brought in 4S2 scalps,
which is the largest single bunch so
far. Hunting parties are out every
day and the slaughter is still going
steadily on.
