Show ; m blow to ran The assertion that Referee Siler had his back turned to the fighters when. Battling Nelson landed the punch which lost him the fight with Joe Gans at Goldfield, was disproved Tuesday in Chicago, when the contest was reproduced; re-produced; on a screen at the International theater at a private exhibition. The films show that the blow was foul and that Siler was' justified in his decision. climate that's full of jobs and skinners. Never mind. I will get Mistah Gans yet and whale him on the level." Challenge for Debate. So positive is Nolan that he is right in all that he has said against Referee George Siler. that he challenged Siler to a debate. "I will meet Siler before any body of judges, prominent newspaper news-paper men or before any audience at any popular theater in town and argue my charges with him. "He is a well educated man, and one of world-wide experience, and it is certain cer-tain I have nothing on him. A fairer proposition could not be made. I am not looking for notoriety, let me impress im-press the public: all I want is justice, and justice I will get at any cost." Following are some of the questions Nolan says be will ask Siler to answer should the two ever be brought together to-gether to argue the matter: ' ' Why did Siler not instruct the fighters before the battle f It was a championship fight and instructions were necessary, why did Siler break the rules set down in the articles and use his hands on the fighters when the articles read that the referee was not to touch either mant" 4 ' Why did not Siler disqualify Nelson early in the fight if he violated the rules by butting or through foul tactics t" "Why aid he not call in a doctor to examine Gans after he claimed foul when we so persistently pleaded with him to have the colored man examined!" CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-rNelson' and his manager, Nolan, are making a noise that makes the odors of the (Chicago canal pale into insignificance. Bat declares . that he was getting! Stronger as the fight progressed, and that if it hadn't been for Gans jumping jump-ing in the air he would not have received re-ceived the foul blow which earned him the decision. Here are the barks that Nelson emitted emit-ted when they hit Chicago: "I think ther handed me a lovely package," said "Battling Nelson, as he adjusted the immense diamond pin in his white tie and caressed a satchel containing con-taining 23,000 hard-won dollars. I Nelson's Long Wall. "As I figure it. it was this way: If the negro could lick me on the square, all right he was to last as long as he could and do his best. When he found that he couldn't go any further, it was his cue to feign a foul, and old Siler was there to do the rest. A jobf I'm as sure of it as I am that I'm standing heret Hurt me! ' Why, Gans never hurt me half as much as a dozen other men Iye fought I was coming on steadily, gaining strength instead of weakening, and Gans was getting awfully aw-fully weak. From the twenty-fifth round on they were offering 5 to 1 on , me, and no takers. He was all in; he could go no further, and then it was $hat they sprung the foul. It was not k fouL I didn't hit him low. He nimed it right, too fell when it was 'jT swing dark, and the people couldn't be sure whether he was hurt or not. It was a clever trick, and a well-accomplished job. Thousands of Knockers. "This fighting game is one where there's a thousand knockers where there 'a one that's true blue. It's all ri"ht as long as you win. When I beat 1 Britt I was the fairest; and squarest fighter in the world and the most gentlemanly, gen-tlemanly, sq the critics said. Now I'm 'Butting Nelson,' and they say I'd be a champion if I had horns. It's a bum, ungrateful, knocking game. r'I feel well and I think I look all right, and I'm open to meet any of them and I don 't need any rest,, for I wasn't in any way disabled.
