Peterson in Hard Match
at Bothner's.

Nc,v York, Feb. l9.-After one of the
most stubhornly contested wrestling bouts
,.et held in this city, Louis Nelson of
b,,oklyn. holder of the wcltcrweight
championship, successfully defended his
t,tIc against Gus Peterson, instructor of
wrestling at Columbia University. Nelson
won bv two falls to one, Peterson gaining
the second fall of the match.
Nelson's vitality enabled him to wear
Peterson down Just as he did Will Bing-
nam. When his opponent was wearied
from the hard work the champion put on
the finishing touches.
4 large and enthusiastic crowd watched
the contest. They were very wary on
taking hold for the first fall and spared for
several minutes before they went TO the
mat with Nelson on top. But Peterson
soon rcga,ncd his feet and there followed
another long session oi sparrlng and foint-
ing.
Although Nelson got his man on his
knees several times he failed to pin him
Ia the mat until they had been at it one
hour and thirty-thrce minutes, when the
champion got n full nelson on Peterson
and pressed his shoulders to the mat.
To the astonishment OF the onlookers
Peterson turned the tables on Nelson
and won the second fall with an arm
lock IN minutes. Nelson claimed that
Peterson was using Jiu-Iitsu tactics, but
the referee declined TO take any action.
Roth men were tired when they took
hold for the third and last fall. Nelson
was the stronger of the two, and after
twenty-five minutes Of hard work, the
champion rot head and arm lock and
PINNED his man for the final fall of the

CONNIE MACK MAY GET
TIGER FIRST BASEMAN

New York, Feb. 19.--Rumors that the
New York Yankees are dickering with
the Tigers for Lee Dresser or George
Burns, who will then be traded for Out
fielder Tillie Walker, were partially
confirmed here yesterday. Walker is
with the Red Sox, but probably Will be
turned over TO Philadelphia. The trade
would involve sending Yankee pitcher
10 Detroit In exchange for one of the
first basemen, then trading the first
sacker to Philadelphia for Walker
1t Is assumed that Walker will be one
of the players to be given Connie Mack
in exchange for Stuffy McInnis by the

New York, Feb 10 Prospects for
Sunday baseball IN New \ ork next season
are brighter than they have ever been.
Those who favor the movement believe
that the State Legislature will pass the
bill iegalizing the playing of professional
games on the Sabbath and even if this
should fail. the two New York clubs and
Brooklyn have n plan TO play.
Sunday ball IS legal IN New Jersey
and with the settlement of the Federal
League troubles the parks OF the old
league in Brooklyn and Newark become
virtually the property of organized base
ball The grounds at Newark compare
favorably with big league parks, and 1t
would be an easy matter, IL Is pointed
