+fonaJ and American leagues in 1900 Henry KilIilea, then part owner or the Boston GA. L.) club came, to me and asked if could land Jones and Pitcher Claude Elliott, but especially Davy, who were then with Rockford. I undertook the task. and looking over the schedule found that Rock ford was scheduled at Decatur, III. Taking the night train out of Chicago I landed at Decatur the next morning at 5 o'clock.
 At the hoterI found the clerk half asleep, but not too much so to talk baseball. He gave me a history of most of the players and told me that four scouts were at the hotel trying to see MT. Nico1 about Jones and FL Hott. Brooklyn, Cincinnati, Chicago. and New York being the clubs seeking the players
 It was evident that quick action was necessary, so at 6 a. m. I went to Jones' room, knocked lightly and re- ceived a quick who's there?" The rest was easy. Davy was anxious to get into the big league and we agreed on terms within a few minutes. had a contract ready and signed by i6:30 and at a. m. we had Claude Elliott out of bed and gave him in- structions to meet us in an office across the street immediately Claude appeared at 7:30 and it took less time to get him to agree to terms that it did Davy. A young woman notary public was secured, who witnessed the signatures, and after arranging some advance money it was all over.
 The train for Chicago left at o'clock and had barely time to grab it for the getaway, having to go with out breakfast, but it was better than waiting till evening.
 To say that the scouts were disap- int i- \ I5 Nicol was about as mad as a wet hen when he discovered that Jones had been signed, for Jim Hart of the Chicago club had offered him $2O0o for Davy's release.
 But then, it was during war times in baseball and the reserve rule cut no figure.
 Davy Jumped into prominence and he had 3, successful career as a. major league player, and he says he never regretted the time he signed up with Boston at 6:SO o'clock in the morning.

TWO BOUTS FOR
 GIBBONS BROTHERS
Mike Beats AheaTn and Tom
 Also Trims Jack Denning

The Gibbons brothers, Mike and Tom, both scored victories in their bouts at the Garden A. C., New York, last night. Mike knocked out Young Ahearn in the fourth round, and Tom out pointed Denning in ten rounds.
 Soon after the beginning the fourth round, Mike Gibbons of St. Paul knock ed out Young Ahearn, the dancing master of Brooklyn, with a right hand uppercut to the jaw. A.hearn fell fiat on his back. Referee Joh started to count over the prostrate boxer, but when he reached -four" he realized Ahearn was unable to re- spond Joh then stopped and pick ed up Ahearn and helped carry him to his corner Gibbons weighed 149 pounds and Ahearn IA 1-4.
 The blow that finished Ahearn fol- lowed a left wal1op to the face. The blow jarred Ahearn and also served to give Mike the proper necessary distance. when the left landed Ahearn fell forward as if to c1fnch, but Mike beat him to it with a right uppercut that landed under the chin and lifted Ahearn off his feet.
 For the first two rounds. Ahearn shaped up well. He ducked many oI Mixes short hooks and swings and sidestepped others.
 Tom Gibbons landed repeatedly on Denning in the final sessions put was unable to score knockout, ike ms brother Mike did with Young Ahearn edbbons weighed 159 pounds ana Den ning's weight was announced as one pound less

BOXERS FIND IT PROFITABLE TO FOLLOW BAT MEL SONS STYLE
6Bx T. s. Andrews.l

When it comes to advertising, there is no boxer in the country, or in the world for that matter, who can touch Battling Nelson, the ex-champion Iightweight. The Battler has been in the game actively for the past 10 years and it is safe bet that during that time he never missed an oppor- tunity to 'tput over a good or poor story if there was the slightest chance.
 Although the Battler has been out of the championship class for two years or more, he is better advertised in the daily papers than most of the fighters who are supposed to be near the top of the ladder. If the wonder full Dane cannot get a fight to boost him along, he takes up physical cul- ture work and writes stories, telling old and young how to Tive 100 years, " a la. Lillian Russell. He will even offer to edit the entire paper if the managing editor will stand for it. anything to let the people know that Oscar Battling Nelson is on deck' ready for business.
 Recently I had a letter from Bert Finch, manager of Jimmy Duffy, the New York state light weight, in which he said that he had a boy who could beat all the 13S pounders in the world outside of about two, but that he could not get any recognition for his
 
 him to follow Battling Nelson's sys- tenn, and since then he has, with pretty good results, for MT. Duffy has been going some guns, and againsI good boys.
 The youngster halls from Lockport, N Y., and during his short career in the fighting game he has had over 50 battles, mostly around Buffalo. He gained his greatest prominence when he fought Packey Mcfarland 10 rounds and not only made a good showing, but never hesitated to mix with the pride of Chicago. It was taken by many on the outside, how ever, as one of those fights in which Packey was satisfied to outpoint his man and get the verdict, also the money, but from the showing made by Duffy since that time it is plain now that he stayed the 10 rounds be- cause he had more than the ordinary amount of stamina and boxing ability. Duffy has shown considerable class the past six months, meeting such cracks as Freddy Welsh, the British Leach Crossx Knockout
