will be able to play second base is
that he is the quickest man with
his hands ] have seen on the ball
field in my time He may be a trihe
weak at that position, but then.
again, he will make some plays
down there that right handler can
not make.
Il think that he would be much
r. better than some of the right
handed second basemen we have in
the game right now. l saw him
play that bag in Philadelphia. and
my players said that they thought
he could play anything on the ball
lot. There have not ~ many
men who have made success of
playing the infeld who have been
left-handers. But then, again, there
have been exceptions. | think
Chase is one of them He will.
shift with the players, and l think
he can touch base runners.
Bill Greenwood, who played sec
ond base for the Merits way back
in 1884, was one of the best second
sackers in the business. He was a
great ball player. He was a left
handler but he could play his posi-
ton as we'll as any man ever saw.
Hick' Carpenter was a left handed
third sacker with the Cincinnati
Reds in 1882. Kid Mohler also
made a success Of playing second
base, and he is a left handler. Will
lie keeler broke in as third base
man, but did not stick to that posi-
ton
w E now have two newspaper
champions, Luther McCarty
and Johnny Coulon. Hurrah for
the sport writers. If fighters"
won't fight, we are going to have
our champions anyhow. The well
terweight and middleweight classes
having no real champions at the
head of the list, let's get together,
fellows, appoint "a couple of no.
bodys and back them heavily. We
soulto goodness fighters out of
them, but we can keep the poor
chaps from starving to death or
riding on brake beams all their
lives, also enrich the stage with
two more bad actors. No wonder
the price of eggs keeps up.
OVER in England our boosted
American prestige in the ring
must look like hunk of bad cheese
and smell worse. Our heavyweight
champion now under indictment as
SLAYER, our newspaper heavy
weight champion making noise
like dray load of old cans picked
off dump; no middleweight cham
pion, but we have Papke posing as
the real article in France; no well
terweight champion, a feather
weight champion that is PANIED for
his poor work every time he enters
a ring, and last, but not least, a
newspaper bantam champion whose
hardest contest must have been
learning the keys of a typewriting
machine. The British ring is estab-
lished. its heavyweight champion
has travelled 5000 miles to meet
the man who but a few short
weeks ago announced that he
would fight all corners, only to find
himself buncoed. No wonder that
many of the fight clubs in the
country are losing money with such
bunch of actor champions as we
have in our ring

blows. What his opponent did mat
tered not at all.
In all of Nelson's big battles he
has shown himself a wonder at
giving and taking punishment.
This ability to absorb waliops
that would fell a mule Nelson has
combined with an aggressiveness
that has never been equaled in the
history of the ring. In twelve years
of fighting Nelson has never broken
ground. He does not know how to
go in any other direction except
straight toward his opponent. He
knows but one method of warfare,
and that is to bore in.
IT ZEE signing of Nelson to box in
Atlanta marks a new era in the
Queensberry sport in the city. For
a couple of months the Audito-
rum Armory promoters have been
feeling out the city, making each
performance better than the last.
They, now feel certain that Atlanta
will pay-and pay handsomely-fo
the best. This fact decided upon,
( they signed Nelson.
The Dane will receive more for
his appearance here than was ever
~paid for boxer in Atlanta-twice
more, perhaps three times more.
But he is proportionately that much
better than the best who ever trot-
ted out his wares in the past for
the inspection of Queensberry fans.
Nelson and his manager, Jack
Robinson, will be in Atlanta Feb
ruary %, and the Dane will finish
his training in this city.

NELSON. the greatest light

saw, has been signed for ten
round bout at the Atlanta Audito-

The man who whipped Eddie
Hanlon, Aurelio Herrera. Young
Corbett, Jimmy Britt. Joe Cans,
Dick Hyland and so many others
that he cutters up whole chap

been booked for an engagement in
Atlanta
Fresh from a string of victories
that are the most impressive he has
displayed since he was winning his
way upward to the lightweight III
tie, Bat Nelson will come to At
lanta and box. under the auspices
of Atlanta's militia companies.
IT HIS engagement of Nelson is the

has ever been offered to Atlanta
fans. The Gate City has seen a. let

had chance before to see any
man who has reached the ultimate
pinnacle in the range of pugilistic

PEACOCK WINNER OVER
DONALD FRASER, SO TO IT

In a hercely contested game the Pea
cock five won out over the team from
Donald Fraser yesterday afternoon at the
Peacock court by the score of 38 to 27
The game was hard fought, and sad
to say, almost ended in a free-for- all
fight upon several occasions during the
game However. when the two teams
were not squabbling some pretty work
was pulled off.
The teamwork of both teams was at
times good but was also rather poor at
other stages. The Peacock five surpassed
their opponents in both passing and shoot
ing.
