NELSON STEPS our
ON TRAIL OF BUFF
Local italian First of PhiladeI-
phia Bantams to Issue Def
to New Champ
WILL MAKE 118 POUNDS
BY LOUIS II, JAFFE

When Johnny Buff, new bantam
champ, was in Philadelphia this week
with his manager. Lew Diamond. the
latter said he was receiving a flood
Of offers from all over the country for
the little biff bang battler's services. An
indefinite number of challenges have
been hurled at the flyweight bantam !.
! weight titleholder, and the first def
flung in his general direction by Phil
adelphian was from Joe Nelson.
Nelson has been boxing for four or
five years. and for while was forced to
go out of town in order to get action.
The little Italian Is as game as they
come, he IL aggressive. has never been
accused Of stalling and makes the other
fellow keep stepping from bell to gong.
This was proved when Nelson upset the
dope last week in bout with Danny
! Kramer.
! When announcement was made that
Nelson and Kramer had been matched,
the former was not conceded chance
to win. In fact, many believed Joe
would be added to Danny's long list OF
knockout victims. Going up against
mittman reputed TO have scored more
kayoos last year thnn any. boxer his
weight it was figured that Nelson would
make runaway fight of 1t and try only
to stay the limit.
However, Nelson crossed the dope.
and also crossed flock of right hand
punches on Kramers chin. Joc's
jaw also was massaged by n lot OF
Danny's terrific portside punches, and
1t was swell scrap. Nelson not only
was among those on his feet Mt the nm
iah Of eight slashing sessions, but he
had given as good as he had received.
There were those who believed that
Kramer had won, and as many favored
Nelson. A draw was as fair verdict
rs could be given.
That bout with Kramer has brought
out Nelson as one of the best of the
Philadelphia bantams. Speaking Of fu-
turc bouts. Joe said today: i don t
care who they pick for me. Bun IL one
man ! would like to get. l have seen
him box often He must have improved
lot to be able to win the title from
Pete Herman. Weight will be no hitch
in a contest between Buff and myself. I
will be ready to come in at 1lS pounds
any time the bout Is arranged
The new season finds Nelson under the
management of Joe Conroy, who also
handles the pugilistic aspirations OF
Tommy Cleary OF Manayunk. Conroy
took Nelson in tow about month ago,
put the South Philadelphian through n
stiff course Of training and then made
the Kramer match. That turned out
to be good match, instead of a poor
bout for Nelson.
MANY boxers have tried to bring a
ring championship to Philadelphia,
said Conroy. "And now Nelson is in
the, field to put tho Quaker City on the
championship map. I have signed up
Joe for year and have guaranteed him
certain amount for the twelve months.
Before the 1921 30 season wancs ! feel
sure that Joe Nelson, if not the cham
pion. will be right ut the titleholder's
door,"

Second Eleven Sent Against Scrubs
by Coach Roper for Lona Drill

Princeton, n. j., Sept. 29.-Bill Ro-
pore sent two distinct varsity elevens
against the scrubs yesterday in scrim
IMAGES lasting about forty five minutes,
thus showing pretty accurately just
what he has In the way Of probable sub
stitutes.
Although there have been many
changes after the start of scrimmage
each day, some of the men substituted
have not been kept through, and many
of the first string players have had to
play the entire session. Yesterday
however, the first team was removed
early, and eleven new men finished the
workout.
The opening game with Swarthmore
is but two days off, and as there will
be only one more scrimmnge before
that the first lineup is very likely tc
begin the season.
Instead of the regular offensive
scrimmage drill, the first eleven were
tried on defensive work entirely. Today
the scrimmage will be light, and or
Friday there will be nothing more thar
a short workout.

Whooping cough again has begun
to assume serious proportions in the
state, the State Board Of Health de-
clares in bulletin just issued, and
there are certain things that parents
should know about the disease.
Though ordinarily regarded as rela-
lively harmless, it causes deaths in
Kentucky every year.
II is more fatal to children under
three years of age than to others.
After five years of age the fatality
rate decreases rapidly and for that
reason young children should be kept
away from the disease as long as
possible.
If the child has been exposed to
cough that persists after the fifth
or sixth day, whooping cough should
be suspected and the child who has
been exposed kept away from other
children.
Whooping cough vaccine, the bull
letin states, now is being made in the
boards laboratories for free distri-
button and may be had on apphca-
ton. This vaccine has been used
successfully both as a preventive
and curative measure.

PUT BOOKS IN TWO CLASSES
Charles Lambs Division of Printed
Works May Be Conceded to Have
Something of Merit.

1t was Charles Lamb who divided
printed works into two classes-bib-
liza and abibIia, books which are not
books. In general, the first class com
prises those which were written spon-
aneously-becaus the writer had
something which he could not leave
unsaid and because he had a vastly
entertaining way of saying it; while
the other class included all those
which were written, not with zest and
inspiration. but because there existed
some merely formal reason for writ
ing them. In the latter group, says
the Worlds Work, the irreverent.
Lamb placed the works of Hume, Glib
bon. Josephus and Adam Smith-in
general all those books (which no
gentleman's library should be with
out" Similarly there are two kinds
of biographies, those written as
pleasure and those written as a duty.
The greatest fallacy of the art is that
man deserves biographical treat
ment simply because he has filled an
important public position or has been
conspicuous in some other way. This
mistake explains many rows of eX-
Ceedingly dull books that line all Ii
brary shelves.
