acknowledged the speaker.
Nelson was at the capital to appear

the bill introduced by Representative
Smith of Iowa preventing the exhibition
of moving pictures. of prize fights and
transmission OF description of prize
fights by wire.
"This boxing game is not immoral

country. Don't let anybody fool you
about this fighting business. There
might be a dozen fatalities in the his.

Nelson continued.
i've never seen a boxing contest"
said Mr.. Sims. why not give us a
little exhibition here in this ROOM"
THAT'S just the trouble with these
people who are trying to end boxing,
quickly interrupted Nelson. Most OF
them have never seen a contest and
they don't know what they are talk
ing about. Let me tell you something
maybe you don't know, but Theodore
Rosevelt never missed a GO when he

Washington. May 17.-.Battling' Nelson
called on Speaker Cannon at the capitol
today and after carefully looking over
the latter's spare frame from respect
fui distance, averred that 1.-The speaker
would have made great featherweight.
Introduced to the speaker by the latter S
secretary, Mr.. Busby, Nelson grinned at
the smiling speaker. IF you had begun
boxing few years ago you would have
made a better boxer than speaker, and
you are certainly some speaker" let out
Nelson. -
Now, that's what call a pretty nice
compliment" countered the speaker.
They talked at length of athletics.
Some of the group surrounding the two
informed the fighter that the speaker
took his daily exercise and always kept
himself fit.
II knew he was there on the training, .
replied Nelson, you can't fool me about
telling when a boy is in shape"
The speaker shook both Nelson's hands,
felt his biceps and shoulders and slapped
hir, on the back. The examination was
freely returned by Nelson, who carefully
ran his hands over the somewhat quaint
frame of Speaker Cannon
Say" said Nelson, as he ran his fingers
up and down the speakers arms and
locked him over from head to foot, II

Nelson accepted the mock challenge and

game OF the series, 4 to 8.
Fritz. Babb's standby. was sent to
the slab for his third appearance
against the Barons. and he brought
the bacon home. He was hard hit

extra hitch in his trousers and came
through.
Covaleski was touched up merrily
too, but more than half the Memphis
bingles were to the infield, which fast
fielding might have prevented, while
the hit which scored Memphis two runs
in the sixth was a measley little
Texas product back of shortstop. The
Pole, it appeared pitched too care
fully, guarding all the while against
mildness, his hoodoo.
Wanner opened the game by doub-
ling to left, the outs Of Farrell and
linn pushing him over In tn cir half

Marcan singing and stealing, and scor-
ting on McBride's bingle to right. The
Barons Hoped ahead in the second. Ell

Therefore, when two men are on the

poor showing against the visitors from
