ANOTHER MYTH
HAS EXPLODED
FRANK’S DREAM THAT HE HELP-
ED JORDAN OUT OF TROUBLE
PR0VE8 A MISTAKE.
The pleasant little Action of Charley
Prank's that It waa through him that Otto
Jordan secured hla liond after the "rubber
ball Incident" In New Orleans proved to be
without foundation—like the average myth.
The writer talked with the man In New
Orleans who furnished tin* money, and he
states not only that Frank had nothing to
do with It but that hla action In putting up
the coin nearly coat him hla Job taking
tickets at Charley Frank's park.
Otto Jordan waa Bore proper when he saw
what a Marietta paper had to say about
Nap Rucker and hla connection with the
Atlanta team while Otto was managing It.
"I’ll bet a hundred dollars to a tin dime
that Kurker doesn't make good," said Ott#
•They can rail me a bonehead If they want
to. That doesn't change It at all. Rut
Rucker la no pitcher and what they will do
to him In the big league will be something
awful."
"Yea," chimed In George Winters, "and
I'd Ilka some of tbnt bet, too. When he
geta to pitching In the big league some big
guy will get on the sldo lines and call him
a 'blankety-blank Ilooaler blankety-blank,'
and Nap will go to pieces. He never will
stick."
Artie Rrouthers Is sore st Charley Frank
good and proper, nnd says he will not be
back with "that Dutchman" next year If
be can help It.
Brouthers Is a good ball player, but he
baa not been showing It In hla games with
New Orleans.
Crosier snd Jordan, the "candy moguls,"
have decided to stay In baseball during the
rest of the season, owing to the fact that
their new store will not lie ready for use
until after the middle of September. When
the season ends, however, the "aodn mer
chants" will get busy at their new Job.

Goldfield, Nev., Sept. 4.-—Joe Gann !a
lightweight champion of the world.
Yenterday he defeated Battling Nelson
In a fight which went 42 round*. The
doclnton wae given on a foul, but the
blow which Neteon landed on Gans'
groin wae evidently a deliberate foul
and wan presumably hit to save Neleon
from the knock-out which eeemed In
evitable. •
Gans had the beet of It all the way,
though Neleon fought with raro pluck
and furc.ed the fighting as long na his
strength lasted. Nelson received $22,-
600 as hie shnre of the purse and Gans
received $11,000. About 8,600 persons
saw the fight.
By GEORGE SILER.
By Private Lon«od Wire.
Goldfield, Nev'., Sept. 4.—It waa un-
quentlonably one of the greateet fights
since the first boxing glove was made,
marred only by the rough work of
Nelson.
I never saw two gamer or greater
fighters In action, and though the bout
terminated In a very unsatisfactory
manner, there can certainly
question In the minds of those who
saw the fight that tho best inan won.
though he won on a foul.
But for the fact that Gans never
appeared to he hurl, excepting possi
bly In two or three rounds In the
twenties, 1 would never have permitted
Nelson to carry on hla foul tuctlcs as
long as I did. But ns It was u grand
battle nnd as Nelson's constant but
ting and roughing did not appear to
materially Injure Gans' chanees I nat
urally did not want to deprive the
crowd of the ring buttle of a century.
Gans fought the kind of u battle that
makes friends wlth„the crowd, and
therefore a clean, sportsman-like
fight.
His ring generalship wae without
parallel. When weary he permitted
Nelson to hug nnd wrestle, but he let
Nelson do tho work and husbundod his
own strength. When he felt that he
had rested he cut loose w*lth the finest
exhibition of clean and accurate hit
ting that I have ever seen.
Deliberate anti Incessant fouling Is
not an Indication of courage, but
taking the beating that Nelson did and
coming bnok for more, coming back
so strongly that he several times
seemed a winner, certainly la.
As to the final foul which cost the
fight, I am compelled to side with the
great majority, who believe that the
foul was deliberate and premeditated.
Nelson was beaten at the time and J
do not think could have lasted much
longer.

Goldfield, Nev., Sept. 4.—Till* Is the

championship In the forty-second round of
one of the greatest bnttles on record.
(tans, who had been getting the better
of It, Ktarted the round with a left to the
fare and they clinched. Nelson had his
head on Guns' shoulder, nnd his arms
down. Several times he bit Gnus below
the l$elt. apparently feeling for a vital
spot. At last, he drew back his right unn
stnl hit Gau* a vtciona blow square In the
groin. The colored l*»jr sank to his knees
and rolled over on Ida back. Iteferee
