Uppercut Effectively

NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-"One Round
Hogan won the popular decision over
Battling Nelson tonight IN tcn-round
bout before the Madison Athletic club.
Nelson. once lightweight champion OF the
world. failed TO show 4 flicker OF his old
time form.
The crowd conceded almost every
round 10 the Californian. Hogan was ac-
Tive with his punch. while Nelson's work
was almost altogether tn-iShiing, which
did little damage. Despite It's one-slde- :
edness the bout was fast.
Hogan weighed in at IS4 pounds at +
n. M, with Nelson al catch weights about
nye pounds heavier. one Round easl-
iv had the better of the first session, but
inc was much at fault for clinchng. In
a sharp rally in the fourth, Hogan sent
the EattIer 10 the ropes With lett Jan
and right swing, and Nelson came back
weakly with short-arrn work.

ATLANTA NEWS
BRIEFLY TOLD

Atlanta, April 22.-The city council
Of Atlanta Indignantly denies the
charges that there is any discrimina-
ton between social classes in the
city's effort to close the Union and
Mechanics locker club, and in TIE in
junction hearing which continued to-
day, rings forth evidence tending to
show that the club in question sold
over 5000 worth of wilishey and beer
in the three weeks of its existence
before the attempt was made to re-
woke its license, and that the sale of
whisky was practically the only
source of revenue the club had, it's
members paying only 81 per month
dues, and $3.50 as an initiation fee
The city further charges that young
girls. eighteen years and younger,
could get admission to the clus alone.
simply by telephoning, even after nine
O'Clock at night.
Attorneys for the club, h&ever,
stick to their original prop SAion
that it is class discrimination NJ nd
that if women do visit this club and
drink there. the same is true of the
most exclusive clubs of the city, and
that an examination of the books of
these latter would show that their
revenue. too. VAS chiefly derived from
nc sale of liquor
The evidence this morning shows.
however, that the Union and Mechan-
les club has spent a great deal more
money for whiskey than il has FIR all
its furniture, rent, literature. running
expenses, etc, put together.
