DHILADELPHIA Oct. S.-The
shadow of Geronimo fell over

Geronimo, with a handful Of

little but cunning and courage.

Cunning is a grand thing. Strategy

For instance:
Bender, the wise old buck pitching
for Philadelphia, picked his brother
redskin, Meyers, for a dangerous bal-

For the first three times he dug his
spikes into the earth. set himself and
challenged. Three times the cunning
redskin shot one fair at his jaw. In
each instance it unset the Chief. It
did not his him, just made him wary.
The fourth time he went to bat he
did not set so firmly The cunning
Indian observed and dropped one over
that looked the size of a toy balloon.
1t is true it was outside. but had the
Chief been set he would have hit it to
Harlem.
Marquard should know that Baker
is a dangerous gent; he has cause to
remember.
Very well.
Baker came to bat.
The RUDE kept it outside till he Coz

Nelson Toiling Hard
For Wolgast Battle

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct S.-An unusu-
ally large crowd Of fight fans watched
Battling Nelson go through his daily
workout at a local gymnasium yesterday
afternoon in preparation for his com
ing battle with Ad Wolgast at Milwau-
kee on October 13. Although the fight
is one between ex-champions the Dane
could not be more painstaking in his
work were 1t real championship affair
Nelson is showing a lot of stuff and if
he keeps on at the present training clip
he is bound to give Wolgast a hard
fight on the first day of the present
year Bat gave Leach Cross a tough bat
tie for ten rounds, and at the end Of
the match he had the New York dentist
feeling distinctly tired. Nelson has not
dissipated since and win MS present
condition and early training work will be
likely to give WolgaSt the fight of his
life when they meet in the Milwaukee
