LiDe Sports NelDs and Comment
Bat Nelson Fooled
Wise Boxing Experts

Battling Nelson. former ruler OF
the 1913 pound class fooled lot OF
the wise ones. Just when everyone
figured the Durable Dane" to DO
down and out. fiat broke. his father
dies and leaves him an estate
amounting to s226.o0o--which was
his own money placed in fathers
care for safe keeping.
Nelson, always noted iUf dis
shrewdness In the ring. has turned
out to DO Just as shrewd about
financial matters as he ever was
with regard to glove affairs. Bat
was figured TO be down and ont
several years ago. because he tried
to exc out a living with an alleged
vaudeville of very questionable
merit. Many times since Nelson quit
the ring the fans and critics have
asked what became OF his fortune,
and just as many times the answer
has been made that he had lost
staggering amounts In oil wells, GOLD
mines and other worthless schemes
and Bat always admitted the mis-
fortune"
Papa" Nelson. however, looked
after his sons interests. Early In
Nelson's ring career. the father took
a certain portion OF Bats ring earn
ings. He took II with the under
standing that upon his death IL
would be turned over TO Bat. other
members of the Nelson family
agreed to the arrangement. Now Bat
reaps the reward of his fathers fore
sightedness. and accordingly he has
given up his theatrical ambitions to
return to Hegewisch and Chicago to
look after varied interests in which
the father invested.
Nelson makes no apologies for the
stunt that saved his coin. He says
his father did far more with the
money than he would have been able
20 do. Bat realizes 1t would have
been a difficult thing for him to
have kept his fortune intact during
his many rambles about the country.
When he had money some of his
ring friends OF former days never
ceased to follow him, and on many
of them he has spent sums of stable
amounts he can never hope to re-
ceive. by letting father have the
money ] made his declining days
happy and also provided for myself.
! receive my ring earnings now at
a time when I can better appreciate
the value of a dollar and am in bet
ter shape to handle the money as It
should be handled" said the former
ring marvel. Nelson has not con1
pleted his plans for the future. but
Will no doubt remain in Chicago for
the present year, according to his
statement in a recent letter.

Jones Finishes Script.

Henry Arthur JOnes's first con-
tribution to the screen has been
turned over to Hugh Ford at the
Famous Players studio in England
and will soon go into production.
The story is based on one of his
carly plays, James. the FOgey,"
which was published but never pro-
dUced. The author has been work
ing on the film version for some
time.
1t is a story of a man who has
discarded all thoughts of romance
for fear it might intrude upon his
business affairs, and promises to
provide an interesting and amusing
photoplay. Although Henry Arthur
Jones has never before written for
the screen, some of his plays have
been successfully adapted to the
silver sheet. Among them are The
Silver King" written in collabora-
ton with Henry Herman, and Mi
ehael and His Lost Angel" which
will be recognized more readily as
Whispering Devils" in which dis
Guise the Jones play found its way
to the electric light signs.

Making The Village Famous

Columbia Theater of Fannie Hurst's
now famous photoplay story, ''Hu-
moresque," is the universal appeal
of this production to persons in
every walk of life.
1t goes without saying. of course,
that the rank and file of everyday
Americans who have attended
showings of the same production
is composed OF persons Of many
and varied callings, but the real
point OF the idea becomes apparent
in the identity of the better known
individuals who have witnessed
''Humoresque."
Early in the first week Of its run
at the Columbia. william Jennings
Bryan walked up TO the window,
bought a ticket without fuss or
feathers, and proceeded to line up
in the lobby with hundreds OF
others and wait until the crowd
moved forward. Mr.. Bryan made
no effort to make known his iden-
tity and it was only by chance
that Manager Stutz of the Columbia
recognized him and escorted him
TO a seat.
Two ladies. with a fine scorn for
individuals OF prominence, were
quick TO register a protest against
what they characterized as special
treatment for Mr Bryan. Manager
Stutz, however. made them and all
those nearby laugh by saying:
We've got to; he may be Presi-
dent some day"
He may, indeed" rejoined one
OF the ladies, If he keeps running
long enough"
Others Of prominence who have
attended showines OF ''HUmor-
esque" are Senator NcKelIar OF
Tennessee, the Rev. DR.. Abram ST.
mon. and Clarence Wilson, former
District attorney
