Out at the feultan bathsi, where Bat Ulnar . Nelson ihas remained?-since his defeat, the Dane is slowly recovering from the terrible punishment receiv ed at the houds of ' Ad Wblgast, tie new ahampion. The tonce tovinitble lig-htweisht - presents a pitiable appearance,-Veterans of-rthe- gatme who have seen Nelson" declare that the? never even in 'the days wihen bar knuckles were used; saw a fighter so battered up in a.astic engagement. Partly re;llninr on a coucl, Nel son to-day discussed his downfalL "I am not going to attempt to take any of the gast, snid he. "Ha Is a great little, fighter. The 'best I ever met. He showed splendid; ring gen eralship, and the way he can bit with' either hand from any angle is re markable. "For the ipast year I have done a great amount of work. In addiUon to defending my title on numerous occasions I have been constantly rill ing theatrical engagements. Six months ago I began to feel the effects hof this, a ndf determined to take a rest from the ring. But -I made the mis take of keeping up the stage work and also worked on my 'book. "While I did aiot realize it, I oan see mow that I was not right when I started to train. In the first few days' training I took off about Ave pounds. This is not natural for me, but I did not worry about it as I soon took on weight When I eased up.. I am frank also to admit that I un derstand the ability of Wolgast. True, he made a splendid showing against me at Los Angeles, but I"was out of condition and I placed no importance on his victory. "AH I ask now is that Wolgast give ime a return battle. I will conclude my theatrical engagements and then go to my 'New Mexico ranch for a long rest- I do not expect to righ for at least six months. At the end of tat tkne, however. I am going after Wolgast. It he gives me a fight I will make him a side bet of $5,000 or $10,000 at even money. LAST BASKETBALL GAM EO FSEASON - . Local Y. M. V. A.

WAS A QUEER CASE. Salm Batted Poor in Central Ijeague But Made Good in A. A. Was there ever another case like that of Walter Salm, first baseman for Heinie Pietz's pennant winners of the American Association? Answer: If so, not many. Folks in the Central League and all others who know about Salm are still laughing. Here's the way and how of the ha-ha. Salm. who led the Texas League in batting in 1908. was signed by Big Bill Phillips, the old Red Twirler. for Wheeling in the Central League last summer. For about half of the sea son Salm played a magnificent fieuld ing game. But. oh his batting! Why. hits with Salm were as scarce as Dr. Cook's friends. Not only that, he fanned about half the time he went to the bat. Then Phillips picked up Tarle ton, who had been drafted by the Pi rates. Tarleton, who is a natural bat ter, made good from the start. Just as. Phillips was getting ready to release Salm, Peitz came along looking for a first baseman. Salm looked good on account of his finish ed fielding. He was signed. Heinle put him in fourth place In the batting order. He was a trifle weak and was dropped a notch. The remainder df the season Salm batted well, although not a Wagner. He hit more than twice as hard in the A. A. as in the Central League. CHANCE FAVORS GUARDS. Managr Chance has announced he would require all Cub catchers to wear shin guards this season after the fashion of Roger Bresnahan, of the Cardinals, or Larry McLean, of the Reds. He believes the device origi nated by the St. Louis manager is a great preventive of injuries, especial ly of the minor kind. whih are bound to affect the backstop's work, even when they are not serious enough to keep him out of the game.

Young Hackehsmidt in his two yeaT.s career as a professional wrestler has taken the classy ones inv the mid-1 dleweight class pretty fast and has downed them one after the other. Among some of the best ones he' has thrown are Chicago Sandow, Emannel Brugolo, Young Monday, Charlie Conkle, and Kaiser. He is a native of Chicago and since he be gan to show his fine form and- ability, no doubt on account of his similarity to the older man or the same name, his friends dubbed him. Young Hackensmidt by whiih soubiiquet he has since been known. When he meets John Drake , the monntain strong man on the mat here next Tuesday night it will be his first ap pearance in this part of the country. Talk about the way left-handers last. Willie McGill. who pitched in 1894. is still twirling for the Chicago neml-pro teams, and .still has a great deal of speed with some of the elu sive curves. A TIMELY PROTECTION. Everyone knows the after effects of La Gr'ppe are often more dangerous than the disease. So often it leads to pneumonia, which a weakened heart action makes fatal. La Grippe coughs that strain and weaken the system ytfeld quickly to the healing strengthening qualities of Foley's Honey and Tar. .Refuse substitutes R. H. Jordan & Co. e.o.d I MPS UP AGAINST IT ON A QUEER PLAY. m "The greatest mix-up) I ever saw on a ball field occurred in '91," said Owner Oaghan. "'and I see it was duplicated somewhere in Indiana the other day, which reminds me of the story. "Two amateur teams were playing a hot game and in the seventh inning, with a man on third and another on second the signal was passed for a hit and run, the man at the bat being a peach of a pinch hitter. "But it happened that the catcher was a wise old owl, and just as the ball came up he pulled . off the old trick of tipping the bat as the fellow swung so that he missed. Then, like a flash the catcher lammed' theball to the third baseman. As they started running down the man caught be tween third and home, the catcher made a bum heave and the ball struck the runner on the breast, rolling in side his shirt .which was . open at the neck. As soon as the ball slipped in side the runner hikedsfor the plate, the ball rolling around until it lodged along his backbone. "As he ran past the catcher that individual grabbed the shirt .where the ball stuck and tagged the runner, who continued until, he crossed the plate, as did the man who had been on second. The umpire was up against it. He finally called the runner out, because the catcher had interfered with him in grabbing his ahirt. "The decision started a fight in which all hands were more or less used up. I see in the Indiana case, which happened a.fe wdays ago, .the umpire declared the second runner out because the first man ran away with the ball." - Ban Johnson is reported to have told Jim McAleer in Chicaaro in at and 'week that he. hoped he would win a pennant before his (Johnson's) 20 year term expired. m W j" m B ' mm' m m mm mi v. mmr . m u m m -mm m s -mm mr A product of the fields of the Carolinas and old Virginia, a tobacco that has made his tory for "smokedom," blended in just the right proportion to make an extremely pleasant smoke.
