| Show S P 0 R T 0 L 0 G Y YBY BY W D RISHEL Battling Nelson is still the Durable Dane The famous fighter was not beaten by Boer at Los Angeles last ast Tuesday by ty a mile and and time these two men meet in the ring for a battle over er the long route the Dane will write the obituary notice of the Boer The press accounts re received of oC the fight would Indicate that had all aU the better of or the ment but a careful examination of the detailed d accounts published by the Los Angeles papers after the fight plainly indicates that the same old Nelson was coming all the time while the Boer kept jabbing and poking but was vas backing away Nearly all accounts say y that Un holz should have the decision They say sa the Boer landed two clean blows to Nelsons one but the Dane was the stronger and aggressor from the start to the finish It Is the old story Nelson It has always been thus and arid always alwa s will be No matter who goes against Nelson in a short bout no matter how big a dub he may ml be a fourth rate pre fighter will wilI do If It he ho will only box and stay away he will get a deci sion over Battling Nelson In ten rounds now no or at any an time in his pugilistic career There is no doubt but that Tuesday nights battle has taken some of oC the luster from Nelsons career in the eyes of the general public Those who have claimed the Dane was down and out will point to his fight tight with Unhola in giving their evidence Will Count as Defeat Under all aU rules of doping the ability of oC a fighter tight r it is mighty hard to meet such arguments arg mente menta Tuesdays tight fight will go down as a practical defeat ref for the Dane and it will take away from ron his ability as a drawing card but just the same any an person who thoroughly real izes the kind of oC a physical ph makeup Dane possesses this last battle attle is only more evidence that Nelson still carries that wonderful ability to take the gaff Just stop and think Boer who has a hard punch landed at will On ha the sup up posed fatal points of a fighter As hard as could swing a blow it landed square and fair yet it never slowed Nelson In the fight light with Jack Clifford the same thing occurred To the average person it was all aU Clifford just as it was all aU but in the Ogden fight tight the slow thinking and slow fighting Dane D ne got In a blow and the fight tight was over Any An time Nelson and meet in a long fight it will be a repetition of ot Tuesday nights fight all until fatigued by his own efforts he drops to the th floor or Nelson slips one over and then the Boer Beer will be down and out for or good Nelson should cut out those short bouts for if his opponent stays f ta s away awa Nelson will lose every bat battle battle battie tle tie he may ma fight tight Making such matches shows only too well that Bat Jat needs Billy Nolan to look after aCter his interests and unless Nelson does change his tactics it will be but a short time until a lot lotof lotof lotof of second raters will hold decisions over him Victory Boosts Boers Beers Stock tock The victory of the Boer Beer will boost his stock In the fighting game but the first time meets a clever fighter with witha a punch his turn in the limelight will willbe willbe be cut short is one of the most pleasing fighters a person can meet in inmany inmany inmany many days travel but the Boer Beer Is noth nothing nothIng nothing ing better than a rough rugged fighter tighter at the best Pete Sullivan beat him at Ogden and would probably do it again in a long fight yet Sullivan had better steer Battling Nelson The Boer Bo r is able to cover himself well and can stay away from the aver average average average age fighter for a limited number of ot rounds While he Is 15 strong and rugged yet et the pace soon tells and weakens under the trying tr ing ordeal of a along along along long battle This was proved at Ogden when was comparatively the th stronger man of the two until near the end of the fight Then It was Sullivan who was the stronger and he came within an n ace of finishing the man who is now looked upon as one of oC the top In the ring ringa a Butte and Spokane High Schools A circular was received the past week from the Butte High as association association association in which tho the High school was taken to t task for fo alleged false reports sent out after art r the foot ball game at Butte last fall fan when the tho Montana team won by a score of 5 to 4 Ever since the game both boti teams tams have carried on a warfare through the newspapers of the Northwest in which each team accused the other of f bavin having ringers on the team For the good o d of or football in the northwest it is about time this squabble should be forgot ten Continual wrangling will not change the result and if the real spirit of school eligibility was carried out to the letter in all probability It would be found both schools had players on in n their team who were in school alone for their football ability Both teams claim the northwestern championship and Iud hid the nerve to challenge the Chicago High school for a game gume to settle the championship of tiC the United States Ogden tried to get act et a game with both or either school lut was passed up Comparative high school scores for tor the past eight seasons slow show the Utah high schools are better teams than
