Champion Tells of Obstacles Dane Had to Over
come Before He Became Top-Notcher—Won
derful Record of Lightweight Is Reviewed.
By Jess Willard.
Heavyweight Champion of the World.
(Copyright, 1915, by A. Merritt. All
Rights Reserved.)
HAVE often been asked who 1
considered the greatest fighter
of all times. Well, [ can't say,
there have been so many great bat
tlers. Battling Nelson probably was
the most remarkable piece of fighting
machinery in the world. He stood
out alone as a model of persistency,
bulldog courage and tenacity of pur
pose,
Nelson earned the lightweight
champjonship of the world in the face
of handicaps which would have dis
couraged any man on earth, with the
single exception cf the lion-hearted
Dane.
When Bat first became ambitious
to be a top-notcher he lacked almost
every qualification of the true ath
*& He had but two qualifications
the beginning. These two carried
him to the top of the ladder, even
after it was considered that he had
seen hies best days.
. A . -
w HEN he was 12 or 13 years of
age Nelson secured a job in a
sawmill. One day an accident oc
curred and he was dragged out of
the machinery, a bruised and bleed
ing form. Both of his arms were
fractured and a big gash was opened
in his right cheek. His ear was
crushed and its hearing destroyed
forever. For seven days he was un
conscious. Three months later he
was discharged from the hospital
His left arm was in such condition
that it has been impossible ever since
for him to straighten it out com
pletely.
But he never lost his nerve. That
accident showed clearly that he pos
ressed remarkable gameness and a
constitution that was almost impos
sible to shatter or break down.
While his record hae been printed
many, many times, I'm going to tell it
agaln, just as Bat told me one night
about six months ago.
His first fight took place at Ham
mond, Ind. He took a Saturday aft
ernoon off and visited a clrcus that
was in town. A burly announcer wag
crying:
“One 'dollar to any man who can
stay six rounds with ‘Wallace's
Glant.’”
- - -
L ITTLE BAT threw off his coat
and rushed into the arena. In a
minute he had slipped on some
gloves, He was so small that the
crowd hooted and velled for him to
&t out of the ring. They didn't
want to see him killed by the glant.
But Bat insisted that he be given a
chance, and refused to leave thering.
The 180-pounder rushed at the
slender kid, who weighed about 120
:oundl. Nelson met him with a right
ook on the jaw and the giant was
knocked cold.
The circus hands were so mad at
#eeing their champion floored that ten
of them rushed to the ring, grabbed
Nelson and threw him out of the
tent.
“They not only refused to give me
my sl, but they even refused to give
me back my coat,” Nelson told me.
It was in 1904 that Nelson began
to fight real classy men. He headed
for the Pacific coast and on the way
dropped off a freight car at Salt Lake
City. After showing what he pos
sessed in a local gymnasium, the Bat
tler was finally matched with Spider
Welch, a sensational San Francisco
lightweight.
- . il
FOR fifteen rounds Welch battered
Nelson all over the ring. But he
couldn't even floor the young Dane.
, In the sixteenth round Nelson con
nected with his opponent's jaw and
soon had him floundering. A wicked
punch below the hea¥rt knocked Weich
out. An hour later Nelson was on
his wnuo San Francisco,
He ded in the Golden Gate
dbreathing fire and deflance, fight ooz~
la"out of every pore. Martin Ca
the greatest left-hand puncher
ever known in the lightweight class,
. had just made a name for himself
and the two were matched. Round
after round Canole pounded Nelson
all over the ring, but the Battler
never faltered, and in the nineteenth
Jammed a terrific left into Canole’s
liver. For hours it was thought that
Canole would never recover from the
punch.
- Then came Eddie Hanlon, the pride
rof the Pacific coast. San Francisco
fans “couldn’t see” Nelson yet. They
figured it was a lucky punch that de
feated Welch and a still luckier one
that knocked out Canole, {
- - L
A}AINST Hanlon Nelson adopted
the same tactics he did in his
other two big scraps. He relentless
ly forced Hanlon from corner to cor
ner taking terrific punishment him
self, but in the nineteenth round he
landed a wicked left to the ‘lver and
Hanlon went down and out.)
Then he began to fight regularly,
and earned a fortune. He lost to
Jimmy Britt in twenty rounds, the
decision being a very unpopular one.
In fact, to this day the Battler in
sists that the referee, Billy Roche,
made a terrible mistake in raising
Britt's hand at the finish.
. - -
But Nelson more than evened the
score with Britt. They were re
matched and the Dane stopped Jim
my in the eighteenth round. It was
the most viclous and sensational
fight the coast has ever known.
Then came the battle with Joe
Gans at Goldfield. This was on La
bor Day, 1906. It was to a finish for
the lightweight championship of the
world, an honor then held by the Bal
timore negro.
Eight thousand people paid a total
of $69,715 to see the boys pound away
at each other for 42 rounds. Then
Gans went down and out from that
same left-hand punch that had de
feated Welch, Hanlon and Britt. The
referee, George Siler. began counting
Gans out; then he changed his mind
and declared that Gans had been
fouled,
. . -
NELSON always claimed the punch
was a fair one, and to prove that
he was Gans' master he took the ne
gro on again two years later. He
knocked Joe out in the seventeenth
rcund. Still Gans thought he was
the better man. So Nelson gave him
hie third chance. The last time they
met Neleon scored a knockout in the
twenty-first round.
Nelson's last championship battle
was perhaps the greatest and most
brilliant of hig career, despite the
fact that he lost it. His opponent
was Ad Wolgast, the battle taking
plice at Port Richmond, February 22,
1910, Th» men fought 40 rounds, and
although the Battler lost, he was still
on his feet when the referee stopped
I the encounter,
But he didn't quit fighting then.
Ever since he has been taking on a
bout here and there. Only on Labor
Day of this year, a few days ago, in
fact, he went twenty slashing rounds
with a fellow named Bobby Waugh
down in Juarez. |
He certainly was the most wonder
ful plece of machinery the game ever
knew, and I don't know but what T
would have to call him the greatest
of all fighters.

THE ATLANTA GEOKGIAN
' COBB DOES FULL DUTY, BUT PENNANT SEEMS RED SOX PROPERTY
ALEXANDER NOW DIXIE’S BRIGHT BASEBALL STAR
By Fuzzy Woodruft.
JWN in this part of these Unit-
D ed States followers of the na
tional pastime read with a
pang of sorrow of the downfall of
the Tigers yesterday before the on
slaught of the Bostonese.
Outside of the few facts that once
upon a time they burned “witches"” in
the neighborhood of the Hub; that
the Massachusetts capital was the
hotbed of the sentiment that a man,
made up like a minstrel by nature,
should have all the standi of the
pure Caucasian; and on a rant well
remembered occasion Boston 'decided
to boycott everything that was of or
smacked of Atlanta, we in these parts
have nothing particularly against the
city, put on the map by that eminent
Georgian, Mr. George Stallings.
However, people down here have
been keen to see the tar lights licked
out of them solely because Mr, Tyrus
Cobb, Georgia's most noted eitizen
and probably the best known South
erner, is pastiming for Boston's hated
rivals. In this series Mr. Cobb has
done more than his part—or, rather,
he has done what was expected of
him, which is a little more than any
other ball player on earth could do.
He has run wiid on the bases, hit a
home run, and been mobbed by the
Bostonese, who are on record as ever
lastingly inimical to mob law—in
Georgia.
- - -
FOR that reason, we can view thel
defeat of the Detroit club ves
terday and the rezultant almost fatal
blight to the Tigers pennant hopes
with something like an uplifted heart,
Mr. Cobb has done his duty and a lit
tle more. The old wail that Cobbh
was not the man to be counted on in
a crucial situation has been blasted.
- And we live in the anticipation of the
day when the Boston Red Sox have
to face the pitching of that sturdy
Democrat, Mr. Grover Cleveland Alex
ander,
- - .
ALTHOUGH’ the Phillies lost yes
terday, it is fairly well estab
lished that they will be returned the
pennant winner i{n the senior major
league, due to the fact that all that
the Braves could do In a double
header was a loss and a tie.
And this brings forcibly to mind
that Dbaseball I{sn't a whole Ilot
changed since the days of “Pop” An
son. It was the general belief then
that a ball club that boasted good
pitchers and a couple of clean-up hit.
ters could romp in. Outside of the
hurlers, the athletes were selected for
their driving power. The hig men of
the game then were big men physi
cally.
The Phillies show that the combl
nation still holds good. Moran pos
sesses one remarkably good pitcher
in Alexander. He has a good hurler
in Ersk Mayer, and he has Lauderus
and Cravath to clean up when nny-‘
body gets on. Outside of that, his
bal! club is ordinary, to say the least,
And just watch how hard that com.
bination ie going to be to beat In the‘
world series, With anv sort of luck,
Alexander should be able to piteh and
win three games and it's a cinch that
Maver, or Demaree, or Chalmers, or
Rixey, or McQuillen can come over
with the other
- . .
GOING back to the argument of
pitching and slugging against
the more modern schoo! of speed, 1
am reminded of a ball club that won
the Southern League pennant with
more ease than any club in the
league’'s history. and it was decidedly
the slowest aggregation of athletes
{ that ever toed a plate.
That wae the old Memnhis club of
1903, There wasn't anything like a
fast man on Charlev Frank's pay roll,
His athletes were all men mountains,
who eould hit a ball so hard that it
hurt the ball, the fences and the feel
ings of opponents,
Frank had four good pltchers that
vear. On his pay roll were Theodore
Breltenstein, who was then only 108
vears old; “Red” Whret, who rounted
98 summers;: “Sllver Bill" Phillips
whs wae a mere octogenarian, and
“Handsome Harryv” Mclntvre, a real

anything about our esteemed

Ing.. A very small crowd of fans turn
ed ’ut to witness the game.
“Red” Day performed on the raised
mound for the Smithmen, and had
everything except his suit knocked off
him. Eleven safe hits were regis
tered against Day, and all but two of
them counted in the scoring. Day hit
two batters, but did not walk a man.
George Cunningham, who is going
up to the Tigers as soon as the South
ern League season is over, twirled for
the 'Noogans, and had everything,
letting the visiting swatsmiths down
with the small total of five safe hits,
Yesterday's shut-out victory for the
Lookout pitcher was his fourth
stralght. Six of the Atlanta batsmen
fell by the wayside via the strike-out
route,
Squeeze plays counted most of
Chattanooga's tallies. Six of these
plays were pulled off during the pas
time, and all of them were successful.
‘ It looked as if it would be a pitch=-
ers’ battle up to the fifth inning. The
score was 1 to 0 in the locals’ favor up
to that inning, when Elberfeld’'s tribe
worked numerous squeeze plays, cou
pled with Cracker errors and safeties,
netting them six runs.
Fred Graff was the star of yester
day from a local viewpoint, the third
sacker slamming out three safeties
during the melee. Manning secured
two hits, one a double,
