NELSON k PRESS-AGENT; HOW HE WORKED LOS ANGELES (By JOE MURPHY.) Battling Nelson, light-weight cham pion of the world, is the one man In the business who has no need for a manager, a press agent or other paid booster. The Dane knows the game from A to Z and clear back across the alphabet again. Most fighters slip quietly into town, hunt up a Hotel or training camp, and un ; less lie has a "spieler" along, the pugs presence doesn’t become gen erally known for a couple of days. Nothing like this among the Nelson tribe. One hour aftdr the Rattler had arrived in Los Angeles for his fight with Cans the tact was as well known as though he had been in Ihe city a week. Talk about action, here is what Nelson did during the first two hours he was here: visited the of fices of live different newspapers anil gave each sporting writer an entirely different and "exclusive” line rtf talk, iCalled on Referee Charley Eyton, Jim I Jeffries, Uncle Tom McCarey, A 1 I Greenwalrl lien Berry. Baron Long, Jim Flynn and A 1 Kautmann. Held a five-minute conversation over the E TRACK MEET Oil AjJBHEHS NEW YORK.—With all the famous athletes in, the country, including many of the men who placed America as the foremost athletic nation in the world at the Olympic games in lam don In July; with an entry list of 157 seniors In 15 events, the National Amateur Athletic Union of the United States will be held at Travers Island today, and promises to be the most Interesting and valuable ever held by the governing organization. In the senior division eighteen en tries have been made for the 100- yard run. Including .1. A, Rector, Dan Kelly, Lawson Robertson, of the Irish- Amerlcan Athletic club; H. J. Huff and J. t . Carrels, of the Chicago Ath letic Association. The 220-yard run should be a gruel ling race, with such performers as Huff, Carrels, Hamilton and Taylor, a quartet of the West's greatest sprinters: Seitz and Wagner, of the New York Athletic club, and six mem bers of the Irisb-American Athletic club, including Robertson. Keating and Northridge. For the 140-yard run a truly pow erful field of quarter-nailers will ap pear on the mark. Melvin W. Shep pard, the Olympic games hero, will have' as opponents J. B. Taylor, the colored runner, formerly of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania; Harrv Hill man, H A, Sedley and Paul Pilgrim, of the New York Athletic club. Sheppard, Carpenter and Pilgrim are also entered for the half mile run along with Jtm Brownlow, of the Irtah-American Athletic club, and W. McKay, of th, Montreal Athletic As sociation. In the one-mile run the New York Athletic chib. lrlsh-Amerlcan Athletic club, and Montreal Athletic associa tion, make up'the nine entries, head- long distanee telephone with Willie Britt at San Francisco, instructing Willie on the line of punk to be hand ed the Northern sports. Wrote five letters on the ' Blink’’ and then re marked that things seemed sort of quiet in the old town. With all the bluster and noise the little fellow always sticks close to the lines of truth. Any statement he makes, no matter how out of the or dinsry it may sound, is usually back ed up by some substantial hit of evi dence. For example, when Bat, in a burst of boyish glee, told how he had been appointed deputy sheriff of Quay county, New Mexico, he Imme diately rants through with Ills official ! appointment, which was signed and ! sealed by Sheriff .1. A. Street, of that 1 county. Again when he told how lie j had bought, two city lots in O'Har, I New Mexico, and that the hero-loving 'sports of that desert village had [named a piece of ground “Battler * Park" in his honor. Bat produced the •hills of sale and transfer, signed up by Will 0. Schneider and Charles O. | Eddy.
