day players become great hitters and
helders when spurred On by the thought
that a single slip may defeat their club.
Eddie Collins's work in the first game
is an example.
Ty Cobb, the greatest player, failed
to show his real form in three worlds
series. He failed to hit and was
stopped on the bases. Great as he was,
Cobb was not a worlds series player.
He was nervous and over-anxious.
Sam Crawford fell down as Cobb did.
Johnny King was a very ordinary
catcher in the 1906 Cub-White Sox
series.
Billy Sullivan was a star of the 1905
series, showing greater form than at
any time of the season. Little Georges
Robe, a substitute, was one of the hit
ting n fielding stars of the Sox, and
Jiggs Donohue was never known as a
great first baseman until his wonderful
fielding saved had throws by George
Davis and Frank Isbe1l, veterans who
blew up in the early games.

Large Crowd FIoCkS to Madi-

Ten-Round Fight.

NEW YORK, October 12.-Battling Mel
son in his first bout in New York defeat
! ed Willie Beecher in ten rounds at the
Madison A. c., in the Harlem River
Caisno last night. The durable Dane
made good a promise to show a rea
fight Beecher was the better boxer. and
considerable of a fighter, too. but the
Batter had the East Slider backing w
in seven of the ten rounds. Beechel
gained big lead in the first round, Blu,
Nelson had the advantage until the sixth
when for two sessions Beecher did the
more effective work. Nelson was I'M
marked and Beecher left the ring with
pulled face, red welted body. mouth and
lips.
In speech from the ring Nelson de-
clared that he believed fight fans ap-
preciated the action shown. Beecher was
a favorite with hundreds of East Siders,
who clamored for decision favoring
their idol or at least draw. The local
boxer landed more punches. but the only
chance he had of firing Nelson was by
keeping the Dane busy in pursuit.
The crowd was the largest that has
been attracted by boxing under the Fraw-
ley law since the Garden was deserted by
state orders. Broadway habitues and
fight fans. from Connecticut. New Jer-
Sey, Pennsylvania and up-Staters filled the
big arena, each in wonder as to how near
old-time form Nelson could approach
In the first round Nelson forced Beecher
into the latter's corner. After Battling
had missed a right swing In breaking
from the clinch, Beecher put over a hard
right to the jaw. Nelson led lightly with
his left to the face and Beecher crossed a
hard right with body punches. Nelson
forced Beecher to the ropes. Beecher put
<efts and right to the jaw without a re-
turn.
Beecher boxed at long range in the
second, refusing to be drawn into rough
ing at close quarters. After landing left
and right Ipokes to the face -Beecher
planted a hard right to the stomach.
Then Nelson went in with head down
and pegged away with both hands, fore
Ing Beecher to back away under fusil-
lade of punches that brought thousands
to their feet. Nelson landed solidly on
the jaw with his right. At the bell
Nelson popped over a left to the face.
In the third round Nelson continued to
bore in and under the terrific rain of
away. Willie" was ordered to box, but
Bat" would not permit it. He received
lefts and rights to the face without halt
ing. The attack on the East Sider's body
gave Nelson big advantage at the end
Of the round.
The fiery milling did not abate in the
fourth round. At the bell Nelson rushed
Beecher to the ropes. Willie landed a
right swing to Nelson's jaw. but the
Battler did not vince. After Nelson had
peppered Beecher's body the latter made
q tour Of the ring with Nelson at his
heels in a neutral corner. Beecher turned
