EVEN GREAT REFEREES n
MISTAKES

Then there was the Gans-Nelson
fight at Goldfield. Nelson's man.
ager, Billy Nolan, was NOT popu-
lar. He made Cans weigh in with
his tights, gloves and shoes on.
That set the crowd against Nell
son.
It was a gruelling fight, going
over forty rounds, and Siler fl
nally gave it to Cans on what he
thought was a low punch.
The writer saw the movies Of
that fight, and at the moment
Siler gave his decision Cans
back was to him as it was to the
moving picture machine, and
there was no way of Siler see
ing it.
Nelson proved that he was the
better man later on when he
knocked Cans out twice.
Eddie Graney, a great referee,
booted one the night he gave
Jimmy Britt the decision over
Young Corbett.
The loss of that fight broke
Corbett's heart. He was never
much afterward.
Billy Roche also kicked one
around the lot the night he gave
Britt the decision over Bat Nelson,
In Frisco. The writer was at the
ringside on. both these occasions,
and If ever q man ran second it
was Mr.. James E. Britt.
That one man on both occasions
thought he was right, but the
thousands who witnessed the
fights with him KNEW that he
was wrong.
The Old Kelly on the Hay Pile.
uERE'S another yarn about q
fighter and his bad luck
a. omens. Tim McGrath says
that this story Is on the square:
"While Ketchel was training at
Joe Millett's, in Colma, CAL, two
strangers dropped in with letter
Of introduction from Sandy Girls
void, the famous old sporting
writer Of the Omaha Bee.
"While Ketchel was reading the
letter ,one of the strangers placed
his straw hat on the bed.
'Ketchel turned, caught
glimpse of the hat and let out
a yell that brought everybody in
the camp on the run.
"'Haven't you and sense to do
a thing like that!' he shouted at
the stranger.
"'Why,T asked the stranger,
meekly,, what's the matter: What
"'You did enough! shouted
Ketchel, as he took kick at the
hat. You put the jinx on me"
"'Then Ketchel went out, got
a pistol and fired four shots
through the roof to remove the
ink.
"Ketchel was the limit that
way. When he went in the ring
he would walk completely around
his chair before he sat down.
That brought him good luck.
"Rogers tells me that he had
to be constantly on his guard not
to do anything that would be un-
lucky.
"iKetchel,' he says, was al
ways receiving presents OF silk
trunks to wear in the ring, but
new trunks, he said, were the
ink, and he always stuck with
the old ones"

The Shah Of Persia wears around
his neck a cube of amber reported
to have fallen from heaven in the
time of Mahomet, which is supposed
to have the property of rendering
him invulnerable. Ground up with
honey and rose oil it is used as a
specific against deafness, and mixed
with Attic honey it is supposed to
prevent dimness of sight.
De BerQuen speaks OF a table cut
balas ruby belonging to the Shah
Of Persia in 1872, which was as
broad as a finger, weighed two
ounces and a half, and was Of a
most peerless color. 1t was SO
splendid that when the Shah asked
the Venetian ambassador what he
thought might be its value, the
latter replied that a city or even a
kingdom, would scarcely pay for it.

Weighing Sc carats, was presented
