NEW YORK. Nov. 21.-Lew Powell
defeated Young. Otto. in their 10 round
the first six rounds Powell took enough
punishment to put out three ordinary
lightweights. but in the seventh he
came back strong and won out in the
last four rounds by sheer courage and
aggressiveness.
Otto started out like winner IN the
first round. He hammered his adver-
sary all over the ring. but IN the sec
pnd Powell ran into Otto's punches and
managed TO get hook to the nose
that drew the claret from Otto's nose
Fhe sight of the blood discouraged Otto
but he battled hard in the third. and
in the fourth il looked as II he would
surely finish the Californian. That IA T.
nous right swing OF Otto's thudded
time and again against Powen's jaw
but Lew merely shook his head and
kept plugging in for more.
The sixth was Otto's last stand. He
had the better of this session, but the
seventh marked the turning OF the tide
in PoweIPs favor. His rugged attack
wore Otto down, and from then on
to the end Powell had the lead. He
battered Otto just as Otto had bat
tered him in the earlier rounds. and
in the last round had the local lad
all but out.
Otto appeared to lose heart when
he saw his opponent standing up after
his fierce onslaught in the first six
rounds and tired himself out trying
to end the fight with a punch
A great crowd Of members witnessed
the contest. which was one OF the
fastest and cleanest fought battles ever
held between lightweights IN the city.

BY WILLIAM ]. SLATTERY

Kane and three with Walter Scott and
at the finish both of the boys were
about used up. Nelson is in Moran's
nails for sparring partners. He has only
four days left in which to get into form
and he wants to make good use of
every minute of his time.
The way in which Nelson has been
working during the past week is a
revelation to the followers of the game
and indicates that he has again won
favor with the multitude. Everybody
who has seen Bat go through his PAGES
believes that he is a better man physi-
cally than the day he lost to Wolgast.
If training counts for anything, the
Battler certainly is there, but of course
he will have to show the wise ones
when he goes in against the Britisher
on Saturday afternoon.
The Battler seems confident enough,
but confidence does not always bring
the victory home. 1t will be remem-
bered that Nelson was the essence of
confidence before he went up against
Wolgast but he did not have the con-
ditfon nor the strength to back 1t up
and consequently he fell by the way
side after taking an awful lacing for
40 rounds. Now if Bat can develop
speed and form with his confidence, he
will stand a grand chance of making
good against the British lightweight
Moran varied the monotony of his
training yesterday morning by climb
ing Mount Tamalpais in company with
his boon companion, Tfv Kreling.- The
littlesfellow set fast pace all the way
up and back, but he finished breathing
lightly. He has all the earmarks of a
perfectly trained athlete and unless he
has gone back a whole lot he figures
to set a whirlwind pace for Nelson to
follow when they hook up.
Moran probably will enter the ring a
full f1edged lightweight for the first
time in his career. In the past the
Briton has been in the habit of doing
128 pounds and thereapouts. This time
1t is catch weights with him and he
Is not bothered about taking off weight
Both Moran and his manager, Char
ley Harvey, have at last come to the
conclusion that the British lad must be
counted among the lightweights. If
he beats Nelson, he is going right after
Wolgast for the lightweight title, but
whether the champion will recognize
him remains to be seen. However,
Moran must put it over the Battler
first.

now the big fellow believes that Sam

Kaufman says that Jack Burns the
other California heavy weight, has
gone to England in company with his
manager, Doc Jeffries. Burns could not
get used to the climate in New York
and consequently made a very poor
showing in his only start there against
Jim Stewart.

Realizing the Importance of having
an experienced man in his corner in
his coming battle with owen Moran
next Saturday afternoon, Battling Mel
son is endeavoring to secure the serv-
ices of Tommy Ryan, the former mid
die weight champion. Up to a late
hour last night Nelson did not receive
a reply to the wire which he sent Ryan
but he hopes that the once great boxer
Will be able to respond to his call
Ryan is we'll remembered by the old
time fans as one of the greatest mid
die weights who ever donhed a glove
In his day he was the king Of all the
men in his class He was compelled to
retire from the ring on account of I'LL
ness. Later he regained his health and
made a fortune in various business en-,
terprises, but he still retains lot of
interest In his favorite sport and for
this reason ii is believed that he will
come out to aid the Battler next Sat
urday.
A great friendship sprang up be-
tween Nelson and Ryan when the Dane
was east on his last trip. Down in
Memphis Nelson boxed before Ryan's
club and made a great hit. Before that
time when the Dane was the cham
pion of the lightweight division, he
gave several boxing exhibitions with
the former king of the middle weights.
and this pair proved a great drawing
card on the road throughout the middle
west.
Ryan is the very man for me-" said
the Dane last night. Il only hope that
he will be able to come out and help
me next Saturday afternoon. 1 feel
the need of a man of his experience
and his intelligence in my corner. A
boxer may be in the grandest condition
in the world, but still lose because of
improper handling"
When he said these last few words
the Batt1er probably was alluding to
the way he was handled over in Rich
mond last February, when Wolgast
plucked the crown from his head. Mel
son had a bunch of inexperienced sec
onds in his corner that day. A man of
Ryan's experience and cunning might
have pulled Nelson through, but the
Dane was forced to do everything HIM
self He had no one to advise him nor
to console him.
Nelson continued his whirlwind cam
paign at Millett's yesterday afternoon.

MILITARY BALL
TOSSERS LEAGUED
Soldier Boys Prepare for Great
Diamond Season During
Next Summer

In preparation for the formation of a
spring to play throughout the entire
season, a league has been formed for
the month at the Presidio, and games
among the eight teams are going on
with great enthusiasm twice each
week.
1t was deemed advisable to get in as
much play as possible before the rains,
to work out questions which would in
all probability arise later in the league
and gain experience in facing such diff
hcuities as might develop.
The teams now in the league are
from Fort Baker, Fort Mcdowell naval
training station at Goat island. and
from the Presidio, the cavalry, coast
artillery, field artillery. Thirtieth in
fantry and general hospital.
The outcome of the months games is
said to be uncertain as to the cham
pionship although Baker and Mcdowell
are now in the lead. A general revival
of enthusiasm along all athletic lines
has taken place at the Preside since
the return of the troops from the
maneuvers and the national parks, and
plans are being made for many fea-
lures, under the direction of Captain
Frederick Stopford, athletic officer.
Boxing is beginning to receive the
attention of the men and a number of
good bouts will take place little later
in the season. An appropriation of 5000
has been made from the post exchange
funds for the promotion of athletics
and the purchase of necessary para
phernalia.
The crying need of the athletic situ-
alton at the Preside just now is some
means of heating the gymnasium. At
present there is nothing of the kind,
not even chimney for any heating
apparatus, and the matter of shower
baths in the cold gymnasium and kin
dred matters interfere seriously with the
advance of sports. Strong hopes are
