Matty Here Tells Baseball Secrets
You See, It's This Way
BY ED w. SMITH, Calls Eastern Fight Expert

IF fighter hits correctly and
according to the book he never
has any trouble with his
knuckles. or at least he seldom
will be troubled with more than
an ordinary swelling after par
ticularly severe contest This al
ways has been one of the sayings
and beliefs of the boxing ring IL
1t Is true Battling Nelson, with all
of his tremendous knockout rec
ord, never knew how to land a
punch correctly. Bat, they say,
hasn't a really sound knuckIe in
either hand because of the ter
ribly severe use to which he has
put them during his ring life.
Now. we know that while the
Dane may not have used his hands
according to the book" in his
battles he certainly used them
with some deadly effect now and
then.
THIS was brought forcibIy TO
mind a couple of days ago
when 1 talked with Bat In his
training quarters at downtown
gymnasium and he held up his
tools of war for inspection. They
certainly presented a peculiar
looking mess of snarls and tan
giles. looking more like the hands
of the old time ball player who
fought out his diamond battles
before the days that the modern
glove OF protection ever was
thought of and both hands were
meat hands" as they say now
about the unprotected throwing
fin. But Bat never played much
ball; he always was too busy
either lighting his way to the top
Of the heap or fighting to retain
the exalted position after he had
reached it. Asked where he had
hurt his hands worst or how they
ever started to get into such con-
dition the Bat smiled a reminis-
cent grin of real meaning and said
he couldn't answer with any GER
tainty.
W.T. HEN 1 pressed him to tell
w me what had actually been
the hardest fight he ever had
he lodged and said he couldn't
tell exactly unless I specified be-
tween the two careers he has had
one when he was fighting all of
them In an attempt to get to the
top and the other while he was
sticking around In the champion
ship class. when / started out
