Wolgast and Nelson
To Meet Again Over
Ten-Round Route

MILWAUKEE,, Sept. 16.-What for
three years the leading fight pro-
motors of the country have failed to
do was accomplished in Milwaukee
to-day when Ad Wolgast and Battling
Nelson were matched for a second
time The pair have agreed to go ten
rounds before Ben Steinels Milwau-
kee club the second week Of October.
There was little trouble in bringing
the two hated rivals together.
Both Nelson and Wolgast were
spectators at the Charley White
Mickey Sheridan fight in Racine last
night. The matter was put up to the
Dane and he accepted without hest
tation. Ad asked for time to con-
slider, and when seen in Milwaukee
this morning accepted. He wants to
rest two weeks and then will begin
training.

LOST
ONLYFOURMEN
FROM Y TEAM

OLEMSON COLLEGE, S. c., Sept
16-Why should the Tigers
worry? They lost only four
men from the regular varsity football
team-Captain Britt, Coles, Kangeter
and Turbeville. These were good
men, but their places can be filled
with a little extra care. There were
a number of fine scrubs last season
that are back, eager for a chance
to make varsity. Fifty old students
were out in uniforms yesterday. The
freshmen will report to-day, and II
is said that there is much likely ma
terial in the bunch.
So Captain Candy is hopeful
There are to be three football fields
this year Dr. Calhoun, president of
the Athletic Association, says that
one field will be used for the purpose
OF learning signals This field will
be at some distance from the others
so that no one team will know the
signals of another. This plan will
make the scrimmages much more val
liable. The main athletic field will
give room for two gridirons. On one
the scrubs and the class teams will
practice; the other will be used al
most exclusively for match games and
for formal practice.
The fields will soon be in fine con-
dition The regular practice is going
on every afternoon under the care
full guidance OF Coaches Williams and
Major. Failing on the ball held the
boards last evening. A new tackling
dummy is to be put up at once.
There have been a few changes
made in the schedule. Manager Dou-
thit gives out the following revised
schedule:
October 4-Davidson at Clemson.
October 11-Alabama at Tuscaloosa.
October 1S--Auburn at Clemson.
October 30-University OF South
Carolina in Columbia, at the fair.
November 6.-University Of Georgia
in Augusta.
November The Citadel in
Charleston.
November 15-Mercer in Macon.
November 27-Georgia Tech in At

THE who,, system of rearing

THE who's system of rearing the
i white hope" crop is wrong. They
start the big burlies on their fight
ing careers too late in life to make
them effective. As a result, the
boxer is too old when he starts in
to learn the rudiments of the box
ing game. This at least Is the
opinion of George Dawson, one Of
the veterans of the boxing game
and a student of the present day
methods of the ring. Dawson isn't
an active agent at present and
never expects to be again, all Of his
time and attention being taken up
by members Of the Chicago Athletic
Association, who like little exer-
else with the gloves now and then.
But George is a keen figurer just
the same and his ideas are sound
and true.
A cCORDlNG to the Dawson sys-
4 tern of figuring a boxer should
begin early in life to learn the sim
pier points of the boxing game.
When yet a boy he should know
all that one man can teach another
about the art of hitting straight
and stopping 'em before they can
reach you. II that system pre-
walls then the boy can finish his
fistic education at his leisure as he
grows into manhood and the nicer
points of the game will come with
experience, and in that way only.
AS a matter of fact, Dawson be-
lieves the real fighting man should
be reared carefully. so that by the
time he becomes a man he will be
able to embark on a boxing career
well equipped and not be forced to
learn what there is to the game
NTHEY wait too long before
starting out" says Dawson
in discussing the white hope" sit
uation, which just now isn't much
of a situation. BY the time the
present-day heavyweight is well out
on his career, he's almost too old
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-16
SPORTING COMMENT

to learn anything. The system is
all wrong. Just because a man has
the size and the natural strength is
no sound reason that ne is going
to be nodded into champion with
a few weeks of instruction. Yet
that is what some managers expect
of a man. The best athletes have
been those who started early,
learned thoroughly. and then got
their experience by actual fighting
Such men always last better and
are in every way thoroughly
equipped for the serious business of
fighting. You can not develop a
good fighter, except in very rare
cases, in a hurry any more than
you could develop a great musician
in brief time"
CHANGING over the list Of the
~ leading white heavyweights of
the day, we are impressed with the
wisdom Of Dawson's remarks Most
of them right now are almost too
ancient to be classified as young
men, at least in an athletic sense.
Arthur Pelky admits being % wears
old, but some who know him insist
that he is at least 81 Carl Nor
ris. who has been doing we'll lately,
is % or over. and Frank Moran.
who trimmed Al Palzer in New
York the other night and jumped
well to the front, is %. Gunboat
Smith is the youngest Of the lot
that is, of the real prominent ones
and is only about %. The avail
able list of big ones has about dwin-
died down to these now-and of
them Moran and Smith look to be
the two that should fight 1t out
unless Morris shows enough pretty
quick to entitle him to the highest
consideration.
MORAN has come to the front
A'A with a greater degree of
sharpness than any OF the others
and If his Improvement in the next
year or so is as great as it has been
in the last six or eight months they
will have a hard time of ii keeping
him out of the championship.

CLAIMS
VANCOUVERGA
WAS N D I FAIR
By W. W. Naughton.

DAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Sept. 10
y Willie Ritchie's incontinental
flight from Vancouver is the talk
of sportdom and everyone is Won
dering what really impelled Richie to
cut and run. Willie says It was be-
cause the promoters did not play fair
so far as a division of the money ac-
cruing from the advertising privileges
is concerned, but Harry Pollok. man.
ager Of Freddy Welsh, pooh poohs the
idea.
Pollok was known years ago in San
Francisco as a youth with fine ideas
Of finance. When Harry had poor
Jack Munro training at the beach
for the fight with Jeffries Munro and
Pollok had everything figured out.
They knew just what the losers end
would be in any kind of a house from
one of 5000 to one of $4,000, so that
directly Coffroth made known tn
gross receipts Harry and Jack kne
in an instant what was coming {
them.
Pollok says the advertising priv
ileges which Richie made an issue
Of amounted to but few hundre,
dollars, and that Is ridiculous TO sup
pose that Richie would make his es-
cape on that account when there was
a sum of $4,000 lying in the banE
for him, no matter whether he won
lost or drew with Welsh.
Looking at IT from common-sense
viewpoint, there is logic in what Pol
lok says and, consequently, Ritchie's
explanation of the causes leading up
to his flight are made to appear some
what diaphanous.
