the most aggressive scrapper who
has appeared in the ring in the last
hundred years, but he is wise to
all the inside STUFF Of the ring
game. He knows anatomy like
surgeon. He knows nerves like a
neurologist. He's wise to the rudi-

improbable that he knows some
thing of hypnOtism. In fact, he is
a boxer with the mental equip
ment Of the new school," along
with the bodily outfit Of the old.
Small wonder then, that he has
been a success.
Nelson put another good scrap
to his credit last week, and will
come to Atlanta with a string Of
victories as long as General Huer-

ply Atlanta fight fans with an ex-
hibition Of Queensberry skill the

san Francisco club has Just found out
that II lost because its slab was six inches
further from the plate than it should have

hurled the ball at least 100 feet further

CUBS MAY SIGN TO TRAIN
AT TAMPA FOR FIVE YEARS

TAMPA, FLA, Feb, 24.-f Manager
Evers has any influence with President
Murphy the Cubs will train in Tampa
for the next five years
The local climate has made hit with
the new west side leader. The grounds
were in better condition today than at
any time since the Chicago men ar
rived here and the rains only help it
along, instead of injuring it as in other
places where Evers has trained. This
fact, in addition TO pleasant climate
here, has made such hit with the Cub
leader that he is going TO be a strong
booster for this city as a permanent
training place in the future.
Already the players almost to a man
have expressed their pleasure with the
conditions found here and the decision
on the part Of the manager makes 1t
look as if the five-year contract were a
sure go.

derous ruffians Invariably you
find that the modern pugilist is
an tempered, keenly intelli-
gent, clean built, wholesome young
fellow who loves the rigor and
vigor Of the game, and would
scorn TO do anything which might
bring it into disrepute. He has
to put up with discomforts, of
course. in the practice of his
profession, which was never in
tended for anemic beings. A pile
driver on the solar plexus, lust
where the ribs open out, is not
a pleasant experience. As for the
knockout blow to the point of the
chin, which so greatly distresses
the soul Of the sentimentalist. it
IS not a thing to worry about at
all. EXperto crede; it is as little
to be dreaded as the draught Of
oblivion dispensed from the den

are dismissed into dreamland
without dreams, whence you, as a
rule, emerge suddenly, without
any sense Of pain, but indolently
wondering when the next round
is to begin.
