Show TRUTH. 10 NEWS. SPORTING Although tho Tribunes war corre- spondent. declares that the battle be- tween Spider Welch and Battling Nelson was a contest where brutality reigned supreme, It Is a fact that It was tho most scientific exhibition of manly sport ever seen In this city, and thcro are grave doubts If it was ever duplicated anywhere. Both men showed remarkable gameness, and cleverness, and the statement made d knocker alluded by tho to who evidently believes In diving. Into garbage barrels In search of farfetched morals will be condemned by every man who saw the mill. noble-minde- & Jt Nelson showed himself the cleverer and more aggressive man of the two. At no time during the contest did Nelson break ground, and at no time did he decline to become the aggressor. This statement must not be considered as any reflection upon the gameness and the staying qualities of his Welch had his man from the start, and oven after the third round, In which ho received a wallop in the solar plexls that took a whole lot of courage and conceit out of him, ho seemed to think ho had a good chance of under-- antagonist. estimated . winning. It was in the fourth that the end began apeparing. But for the excellent handling of their man by those behind tho Spider, he would have been defeated in the ensuing three minutes. But Ills manager and the others who l&oked after him knew their business so well that they were enabled to send him up for another and yet another and yet another round, until tho final one, all through superior knowledge of knowing exactly what to do. Had Nelson been damaged as was Welch, and had to depend on the efforts of those who were taking care of him, there is no doubt of what would have happened. In the third Nelson showed his cleverness In the Infighting. He ripped Welch ono In the stomach that brought the claret from that gentlemans kissing trap In a stream and from that tirno on he had trouble with his breathing apparatus. The gong saved Welch and every one thought tho Californian was a goner, but to tho surprlso of every one he came up very sound In the next round and fought like a Trojan until the latter part of the fifteenth, when a swift punch In the stomach and a hard left to the jaw put him In such a shape that his second could not bring him around In good shapo and the end. was easy. The last round was not . a knockout; Welch stopped.
