McCarey Declares Bat in for Elimination Bouts
If Nelson Whips Whitney, He Gets Try on Coast

has been meeting for the last few
months he is in on the elimination
tournament
And that means another chance
for Nelson at the lightweight I'll
tie.
g TX months ago the announce
~ ment that Nelson was really
serious in hoping to fight again for
the worlds highest lightweight
honors would have been received
with groans. But since that time
the Dane has had his hands patch
ed up by Bonesetter Reese and he
can again hit with his full force.
1t was THIS inability to hit, due to
injured paws. that kept Nelson in
with the second -raters for months.
With his paws as hard as brass
knucks again he is a champion

stamina, strength and gameness.
He can still nit harder than a mule
can kick. With his maulers hard
ened up again he is the same old
conquering hero as Of old.

that your catching staff is
weak. McAlHster and Dunn are old

Smith in Chattanooga.
Smith only grlnned and turned
away.
What he might have said was
this:
q don't admit my catching STAFF
is weak
"If 1t is that doesn't prove any
thing for two reasons:
~. Only one team that ever won
a pennant in the Southern league
had really top-notoh catching
staff.
~. Only one catcher who ever
worked for Southern league pen
nant winner was a good batter"
These are amazing statements.
but true
OF the catchers who have handled
the backstoppius for the last
twelve pennant winners in the
Southern league.
Not one has batted over 800
Four have batted over 275.
Four have batted under .2I5.
Four under $50. eight under .225.
five under 200 and two under POO.
