 of Players in His Prime.
Can Now Go Wherever He Pleases, Thanks to Frank FarrelIs Generosity.

New York, Feb. 23.-"Wee Willie'' Keeler has played his last game for the New York Highlanders. President Frank J. Farrell yesterday granted the great right fielder unconditional re- lease. It was at the request of the most esteemed player in baseball that the owner of the Yankees relinquished much to make the American League a success in New York.
 Keeler does not believe that his days of usefulness as a major leaguer are ended. He has a chance to better hinseIf in the National League it is hinted. Either the Giants or Brook lyn would welcome him with open arms.
 In many respects Keeler is the most remarkable player that ever figured in fast company. He is one of the small est men that ever made good for any length of time. For eighteen years he has been seen each summer on the diamond. He broke in as a third base man, but it was in the out6eld that he made his great reputation. He was a member of the "Big Four'' that won fame and three pennants for Ned Han Ions famous Orioles. of Baltimore. Fughie Jennings, John J. McGraw and Joe Keeley were the other three. Keeler played in Rgooklyn after leav- ing Baltimore. and Jumped across the bridge in 1903, during the war days, to play with the newly oreanized Ameri- can League team in this city. His clever hitting and all-around work put the Yankees in the race the first sev-

 He says he will not identify himself again with the game unless in the ca pacity of manager.
 Keeler was member of the thrice champion Baltimore team in the Hal- cyon days of Ned Hanlon's reign. He was the most scientific baseman, prob ably, that the game ever knew and his record of 243 safe hits in 1897 is one that is ractically safe from attack. In 13 seasons Keeler batted over the charmed 300 marks and never had really DOT year at the bat.

Magnificent Fiction, Too.
BASEBALL NOTES.

Keep your eyes peeled every day now for, accounts from the training camps of the big leaguers in the South. Yesterday the Giants started off their annual spout with a double header, Manager McGraw picking out two teams, playing five innings in the morning and the same in the after noon. The result is that today there is a great deal of grooming and the use of witch hazel and other muscle softening ointments. Chief" Meyers was the big man of the day batting the ball over the fence for three homers. The Big Chief has a liking for the fences in the South. Ernies Lush, the local youth was there also with the wallop gathering in two three baggers in the morning game, and two singles in the afternoon.
 Jack Hannifin, former Connecticut leaguer and New York Giant was in New Haven yesterday telling the fans in that burg to keep their eyes on the Bridgeport team, since it has changed hands and become the prop erty of Gene McCann. Hannifin says that McCann as scout for the New York Americans will be able to secure the stars for the Park City team. He also pays tribute to the local manager stating that he is a fine leader know

 Elmer Zacher last year with the New Haven according to all reports will be kept by the Giants this season. He may not be used as a regular outfielder but will be used as utility man.

, lute helplessness. Even after the 35th
 round when the Battler was hardly
 able to hold up his hands and could
 only make a blow by swinging his
 dead weight, Wolgast stepped warily
 away and fought as carefully as he
 had in the first. He was taking no
 chance of a sudden return to power which has always characterized the
 Dane. and which his friends declare
 may yet bring him back into the game
 winner.
 Others maintain that Nelson is done.
 They point to the fact that Wolgast has been beaten by both Tommy Mur-
 prs and Owen Moran, and insist that if he could lose to such men in the middle of his career and then beat
 Nelson decisively that Nelson is not the man he once was. But those who
 saw the great battle come to close
 last night insist that it is not that
 Nelson is less, but that Wolgast is
 more.
 Wolgast has a, record of many vic-
 tories though he has made no great
 sensation in the ring. up to the pres ent time. But Nelson himself was no
 bear at the start and it is believed that Wolgast has just received his
 stride. Only a few months ago he
 was fighting in the featherweight
 class. Now 133 pounds is his natural fighting weight at the ringside. And Wolgast is a boxer When science was demanded he proved he had it.
 When the great Dane roughed it Vol
 gast roughed it. He butted and stalled and boxed with equal ability
 as the attack of the Dane warranted. l. Only in the 22d round was he in se- rious danger and then his generalshp ID

Opinions of exnerfs:

Opinions of experts:
 Jimmy COffroth-Nelson's gono back. He showed the effect of too many ring beatings. He was horribly handled by his seconds.
 Jack Gleason-Age told the same old story.
 Tex RicIard-Wolgast beat Nelson at his own game and deserves al credit.
 Ed Graney-Nelson was slower than of old but Wolgast earned the title. He is 8 wonderful fighter.
 Referee Eddie Smith-Pd have been brute to have permitted the fight to proceed.

 Beaten to standstill, put tout" standing up in the 10th round of one of the greatest battles in the history of the prize ring last night. Battling Nelson surrendered his title to his op- ponent. But he demands that Vol gast make good on his assertion that he will meet 'tany deserving light weight And those wEo know Nell sons wonderful record of 13 years are forced to admit that he is one of the "deserving.'
 Those who saw him go down to de- feat before Jimmie Britt after he had lost to Joe Cans by foul in the 42d round of a terrible battle, and then saw him come back to give Cans the beating of his life. are inclined to be- lieve that even with the wonderful stamina and cleverness of the new champion, Nelson couldn't be easily defeated.
 Wolgast fought for his honors and won them honestly. From start to finish of the hour and 57 minutes of terrific fighting he outboxed and out For ten rounds before the 'blood-spat- tered referee lifted the lood-sodden glove of the new champion there was little doubt as to the outcome. Still in the round before the close when Referee Smith stepped between the men and asked if he would stop. Nell son. unable to speak. shook his head slowly and ambled heavily around the referee and lunged against his ante g. onist. It was a tragic moment when Referee Smith recorded the new cham pion.
 Tn the baths here with his training staff today, Nelson is still almost un- able to see or speak. Eyes cut and swollen, nose broken, lips cut and puffed, he insists that under it all he is in good condition, and the thousands at the ring who saw him stand help less and almost unconscious but still facing blow after blow which scatter ed blood from his tattered face over the ringSide seats, know that his nerve and his fighting qualities are un- broken.

HIS CONSISTENT RECORD.

Adolph wolgast, the new lightweight home at Milwaukee, was born at Cad ilac, Mich. on February 8, 1888. He is one of the youngest worlds champions and besides is the first fighter of Ger nfan extraction to win the lightweight title
 Wolgast has only been fighting a just gaining notoriety by figuring in preliminaries. He has a long string of victories to his credit.
 Wolgast's first battle was decided in 1906. He met a youngster named Young Nelson and by a similar coin- cidence knocked out his man in three rounds. He followed this up by de- feating Kid Bond, Ed. Smith, Johnny De Forrest, Kid Moore, Young Kilrain, Ted Smith and Kid Cannon. All these mills were short ones. rarely going over four rounds. Wolgast was re- matched with Young Nelson and the latter succeeded in getting the deci- sion- This is the only reverse Wolgast has experienced.
 The new champion had succession of victories in 1907. Among his oppon- ents were Jeff O'Connell, Biz Mackey. and Ole Nelson all rated as good men Wolgast came prominently into the fstic limelight in 1908, especially when he was matched to meet Owen Nor an. The encounter was held at the National Athletic Club, this city, and was for ten rounds. Wolgast was heralded as a wonder but he failed to live up to his Western reputation. He and Moran went ten rounds. Opin- ion was divided as to who won the mill. That same year Wolgast fought Abe Atteil, Dan Goodman, Harry Bak- CT, and Frankie Neil. Tn 1909 he met among others Matty Baldwin in a twelve round draw and Tommy Mur- phy in a six round no decision bout at Pittsburg.
 Wolgast's real boost came when he met Nelson at Los Angeles on July 13 last The newspapers gave the fight to Wolgast and yesterdays return match was the result. Wolgast's last mill prior to the one with Nelson was with Henry Piet, the French light weight champion, at New Orleans on November IA. Wolgast knocked out Piet in two rounds.
