stripped him of his championship
laurels last February %, Battling
Nelson last night won from Monte
Dale, of Denver. after three rounds OF
fighting at 1873 pounds.
At the beginning Of the fourth round
Dale's seconds threw up the sponge in
order to a V their man from a knock
out. Dale broke his left arm in the
second round, and L was for this rea
son that his seconds said that they
stopped the fight. Nelson was clearly
the master of his opponent. however
and would have won apparently, ever
though Dale had not suffered an acct
dent.
Before the first round had gone a
minute it was obvious that Nelson was
the better man, He rushed into Dale
after feeling him out for a few Sec
onds. With a stiff left to the eye, Mel
son drew first blood. In a few seconds
that affair for his great reform ability
to straighten out.
Joe Crisp, the local catcher, who Is
said to be dissatisfied with the teams
offered him by President Hedges, OF
the Browns, will play with the insur-
gents, We hear. Nobody has success
fully associated the Teheaus with this
rebellion and third league talk, be-
cause those generals have kept quiet,
but the act that the games are 10 be
held in Kansas City leads one to be-

Hal Chase's claim. that American
League pitching IS superior to that in
the National League, is surely open to
doubt. Partisan opinions, however, are
worthless, for Hal has batted against
the best the National Leage affords.
Maybe Halls ideas will be different
after the series!
1t looks as if the contest board Of
the American Automobile Association
has adopted the color line proposition
in caneelling Jack Johnson's registra
ton card as a race driver. Certainly in
Cldfeld that sport has a man who a
bear the white mans burden" This
action may necessitate the calling off
of the race between Johnson and Old
field October 20.
Jim McVeigh, the local scpapper,
states that ne will put up any amount
for a bout with "Packey" Lynch. Nc
Weigh is in fine condition and says
he knows he can beat Lynch.

Jimmy Anderson. who resents the
nickname Bull" is going along pretty
nicely in the pugilistic game. He has
been matched to fight Jack Smith. of
Brooklyn at the Reno club Saturday
night.
To the Sporting Editor OF the Evening Star;
Is there any pitcher in any league
considered better than Mathewson?
Which is the better pitcher. Mathewson
or Johnson? Thanking you in advance,
ANXIOUS FANS.
Opinion is divided on these points
and our decision couldn't settle the
argument. Ford has a better record
than Matty, hut Johnson hasn't. It's
a toss up between the three as real
pitchers. it seems, though Matty's long
and wonderful record makes him peer
Of them all to our way of thinking
