A year ago I suggested that Nelson
should retire and quit the ring with

and not wait to be knocked out by
some second or third rater, and trust
now that the "Battler," will never enter
the ring to do battle again. He has
no right there, for he is only a shell OF
the former great Nelson and the fans
will not want to see him Inundated by
noviceS. Bat has always been on the
square with the fans, the same as the
great John L. Sullivan, and they will
always have the highest regard for
his fighting proves.

Installing "PEP"
INTO THE TIGERS

Preparing for the Saturday clash
with Mesilla Parks Aggies. the High
school Tigers are going through a
grilling scrimmage practice daily on
the Catholic athletic association field.
Coach George Bell and manager S. S.
Urley are instilling a big amount of
pep into the players, and rounding
out the scrimmage play so that the
men will be at their best.
The team is needing little encourage
ment to do their best, for the rivalry
between the Aggies and the Tigers is
at white heat, the last game. played
at Mesilla Park, having been a tie
game of o to 0.
Billy TAYLOR, one of the Tiger backs,
who had his ankle injured in that
game is well enough to be lat prac-
tice again, but it is doubtful If the
coach will allow him to play in more
than a quarter of the game The bal
anee of the team is in good form, and
can be depended to put up very
creditable exhibition.
The Tigers-Aggie game will be the
climax of a big double header that As

that he was saying 1t Just to be say
ing something.
He is more deeply interested in
agriculture than he is in the dear old
national pastime, and he has a good
paying farm in Maryland, and cOnsid-
cradle money in the bank. People
who claim to know, express the belief
that HerzOg is as well fixed as any
other man playing baseball.
Inclined to Independence.
1t is true that the Marylander stood
for the trade to Boston without balk-
ing, although there were several
times during his sentence to the Hub
that he manifested considerable in
dependence, and once at least, ne ran
right out on Fred Tenny and only re-
he would be traded to one of three
clubs-New York, Pittsburg or Chi

There was some talk a short time
ago that Garry Hermann was after
Herzog, with the idea of making the
third baseman his manager to succeed
Tinker and as there are few ball
players who do not secretely nurse the
notion that they can run a ball team,
HerzOG would probably like to take a
fling at that end of the game.
During the past season. until along
toward the close when injuries devas-
tated the Giant line, HerzOg was
practically a bench warmer. and it is
highly improbable that he enjoyed
that role. He played third only when
left handler was pitching against the
club. and, while he never said any
thing about the matter his role must
have irked him more or less. How
he played just as earnestly as if he
were in the game every day
HerzOE II Appreciated.
McGraw appreciates Herzog's value
fully and that he has always appre-
ciated it is indicated by the fact that
he took him back after having once
traded him, so there is no likelihood
of Charley getting away from the
club unless the Giants get value re-
ceived, and whether NIcGraw regards
Konetchy in that light remains to be
seen.

Battling" Nelson. the Durable Dane,
as he walked down the isle of the big
rink in Milwaukee after his terrific 10
round battle with Ad Wolgast, the
Michigan bearcat, and the man who
won the title from Nelson three years
ago in a remarkable contest of 40
rounds.
Eyes show Sadness.
There was just a CLEAN OF sadness in
Bats eyes as he made his exit from the
ring, for in his heart he realized that
he was no longer the Durable Dane
that had been able to make all light
weights back up when he went after
them. The former stamina was gone,
but the gameness was there as strong
as ever and the Willingness to fight as
long as he has leg to stand on was
also evident in big chunks The iron
frame of Nelson was there, but not of
the same strength that served him
when he battied his way to the cham
piOnship.
Many of the fans present sat and
wondered how on earth the Dane could
go through round after round at the
pace set without hardly breathing hard
when he took his minutes rest in his
corner. He would slug away and at
the end of a round he would be daZed,
