world. But he came no nearer to it than

OF the rounds that one more punch would
have flattened Nelson for the complete
count Bat afterward freely admitted
that fact. But when Herrera saw Nelson
floundering around and on the verge of
topping, the kid thought it was a trick
So instead of wading In he kept away
from Nelson and tried to reach him with
long distance wallops. He failed. And
then before he realized that Nelson real
ly was in bad shape, the Battler had re-
covered and went on with the fight.
White took on Richie in the middle
west when the latter was champion and
battered Willie all around the ring.
Richie confessed afterward that there
was one period during the fight when he
didn't know where he was at. And that
was the time when one or two more
punches by White would have ended the

Richie from his lightweight throne. But

Every so often there comes an era
when the old idols of pugilism either are
knocked OF their pedestals or the foundai
tons are considerably shaky.
And this is one of the times.
More surprises have come about in a
pugilistic way in the past two weeks than
for some years.
The affair out in San Francisco when
the Comeback Willie Richie scored
over the wonderful Benny Leonard was
the first of series of so-called upsets.
1t was figured that Leonard, even con-
sidered boxer far more wonderful than
Richie and a youngster in superb fight
ing condition, would have an easy time
with the Californian. But the aggressive
attack of Richie during the early rounds
nulled the superiority of Leonard and
Leonard apparently was outpointed.
Soon afterwards Mike Gibbons. the st.
Paul Ghost" took the worst beating that
Mike ever suffered. Ringside reports have
1t that in the closing round Gibbons was
STAGGERING and groggy and in such
shape that he was hardly able to retain
his feet
IF the fight had gone two rounds long
err Gibbons would have been a knockout
victim" was the consensus of opinion
Of fight experts
But even more surprising than this
affair was that in which Johnny Kilbane
INDUCED few nights go. He took on
frankie Brown. almost unknown New
Yorker. The battle nearly resulted in the
dethroning of Kilbans. Brown opened up
ON the featherweight champion with n
whirlwind attack and never stopped In
the third a powerful right handler floored
Kilbane and he went down for the count
of nine,
That was the moment for Brown to
sail in and to finish kilbane and to take
unto himself the championship. But lack
of ring experience lost Brown the oppor-
tunity. With the championship in his
grasp he didn't know how to seize it.
After flooring the featherweihgt king
Brown didn't know how to follow up his
advantage.
Brown came within few punches of

BILL LAMAR WILL

Old New York Outfielder,
Scion of Prominent Family,
Now in State

'BilI' Lamar of Washington, d. c.
who is connected with the prominent
southern family of that name, and
who has himself won a national rep
utation by the strenuous part he has
played as outfielder of the New \ ork
Americans, has recently been mustered
out of the service, and is now visit
ing among his relatives in Alabama
and Georgia, making his general head
quarters at Auburn, Ala, the old an
cestral home town.
He is the youngest son of William Ii.
Lamar, the distinguished Albanian
who is attorney general for the post
office department under the present
administration, and who is also d.
rector of the government wire control.
The young man, whose name is Will
liam H. Lamar, Jr., will in few days
visit in Birmingham, where he mas
many relatives Howard Lamar is his
uncle and Miss Annie Lamar his aunt.
Besides these, he has in the city sew
eral cousins, among them Mrs. G. j.
Hornsby, who is connected with the
advertisement department of The Age

C. r. Lamar of Montgomery.
William H., Jr., or Bill" as he is
known among the fans, is a grandson

mother being the youngest daughter of
that southern statesman of honored
memory. He is closely related also
to the late Justice Joseph Rucker La

court who was for so many years on
the supreme court bench of Georgia.
In former generation his great uncle,
Mirabeau B. Lamar, commanded the

of Texas, and as a mark of appre-
citation the young Texas republic elect

PITCHERS SOURCE OF WORRY

A great many of the ball players on the
Mobile reserve list will not be here in

war in Russian waters. Tim Bowden is
with the army in France and was wound
ed during battle. Milton Reed. short
stop, is with an ambulance corps, while
Arthur Ponds. Mobile boy and shortstop,
is also in the army. However, it is pos
sible that some of these men will return
in time to take their place in the lineup
Pitchers seem to be the main worry

returns. will win more games than he
will lose, in fact, he seems to be Mo
biles one best pitching bet However.

he can't win. He has had his fling in

never been winning pitcher. This would

Bob Coleman as manager of the team
| this year, in fact, Secretary Colsson was
very lucky in signing him up. Coleman
had several offers from Glass AA teams
and had an offer to go on the training
! trip with the ST Louis Americans
Coleman began playing professional ball
in 1910 in the Three-Eye league He was
with the Decatur and Springfield clubs,
ater was sold to Pttsburg and then went
to Columbus in the American association
He was again sent to Pittsburg, but came
back to Columbus. For a, short period
he played with the Cleveland club and
again went back to Columbus. From Co.
lumbus last season he came to Mobile.

President Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg
club announced several weeks ago that
if the West Baden grounds were too wet
to train on he would bring his club~to
Birmingham, and upon hearing that such
was the case the local club extended him
an invitation to come here
Local fandom will rejoice to learn that
the Pirates are to train for three weeks
at Redwood. For the past few years Biz
mingham and Pittsburg have probably
been more closely connected than any
other two minor and major league clubs
and as a consequence the Smoky City ag-
gregation has several ex-Baron stars on
it's roster every season.

Toledo, March 20.-Bowlers of several
cities and towns competing in the minor
