TempeiH began to brew last night whsn It became current that Battling Nelson, champion lightweight of the world, spent yesterday efternoon at the "West Pullman school and addressed the pupils of all grades, from primary to grammar, but two. Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, suptrintndent of schools, and Alfred K. Urion, president of the board of education, both are amared that a prise fighter should address public school children under any circumstances. Mrs. Harriette Taylor Treadwell, principal of the West Pullman school, admits that she invited Mr. Nelson to visit the school and speak to he children without the knowledge of othr chool authorities, "Bat" Nelson, she aid, as a boy was a pupil of her's in the Henry Clay school at Hegewlscb. She could see no harm in Bat's talking ta the boys, particularly as she knew he would say nothing to inflame them. But Superintendent Tonng sees It in r different light. "Was it with your knowledge and consent that Battling Nelson addressed the children of the West Pullman chool," she was asked. "Certainly not," was the reply. "I m glad you asked me about it. I will take the matter up with the principal." Asked if she thought it was good policy on the whole to allow pugilists to speak to children in the schools, the superintendent said further: "I do not think it is good policy under circumstances." i "I suppose every boy who heard and aw Nelson will be practicing side

swipes and uppercuts on the boy next door for a week or two," the Interviewer ventured. 'It would have that tendency, wouldn't it?" was the reply. President A. R. Urion of the board of education wouldn't have anybody running into the schools to make speeches to the children, much less prize fighters, If he had his way. He thinks It was poor policy to allow the scrappy Dane from Hegewisch in the West Pullman school, and he said so in no mistaken terms. But whatever the fuss that may ensue, the boys of West Pullman school, and girls, too, for that matter, have seen and heard "Bat" Nelson, the little giant, the fighting machine, the man who humbled the best ring generals in the world, and who is now the lightweight champion. They know, too, that "Bat" reached the pinnacle only after many a hard knock, actual and otherwise, for he told them so. "There have only been four lightweight champions in America," Bat said to the open-eyed youths of the seventh grade. "That makes one for every 20,000,000 people. So you see, boys, your chance is not very good. Take my advice and don't go In for pugilism. Learn to box, though, for It's good exercise, but don't use the knowledge you may learn to bully some one with less science than yourself. "And don't smoke, chew or drink if you want to grow strong and keep healthy. Take lots of exercise, too, and whatever you do, try and be the best at it." and 29 seconds with the Iowa giant, Gotch finally throwing him with a grapevine and scissors on the head. Roller faced Tom Wlnlclehoefer in his handicap match. It took Roller 16:17 to throw his opponnt for the first fall. He secured the second in 7:33. Charles Postl defeated Magnus Paulson in straight falls, securing the first In 13:49 and the second in 9:40. In the amateur events William Slolz won from Maurice Rosensteln, and Sam Kennedy defeated Fred Qerber. F.ach match was decided in straight falls.

CHICAGO II1S BIG en

(Special to Thb Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Nov. 2. East Chicago took another game Sunday, when they defeated the strong and heavy Hegewiech A. C, 33 to 0. Th Hegewisch team outweighed the East Chicago boys fully fifteen pounds to a man, but -at Chicago was too rasi for them and Its bewildering style of attack took the heavy Hegewisch team off its feet. Forward passes, outside kicks, difficult trick plays and long end runs was the way the East Chicago team usually gained. The East Chicago team is the fastest in this "neck of the woods" and is willing to meet all comers, light or heavy no team is barred. The team Is being supported by the citizens and fans of Eaat hieago, and there were fully 1,500 at the game Sunday. 'On to Hammond" is the East Chicago team's cry, and they expect to meet Hammond again toward the latter part of the season, perhaps on Thanksgiving, and there surely will be some merry doings when these two teams line up. The East Chicago team lined up as follows, Sunday: Left end, O'Reilly, Sneflden; left tackle, French; lefi guard, McKenna; center, McDlllon; right guard, Smith, Amerman; right tackle, Amerman, Douglas; r'-ght end, Brown; quarter back, J. McShane; left half back, M. Hascall; right half back, Macintosh; full back, P. McShane. Touchdowns Hascall ,8; Macintosh, 2. Goals from touchdowns P. McShane, 3. Goal from field P. McShane. Referee I Hascall. Umpire Hall. Head linesman Mu rton. R.LTH0HAS HBPR0VIH6 New York, Nov. 2. Robert Im Thom as, the turfman stabbed Sunday by Carroll Shilling, the well known jock ey, probably will recover. His phyeiolan. Dr. F. F. Lyne said yesterdae that the blade of the penknife had entered the left side just below the heart and punctured the pleural cavity. A hem orrhage had followed but this has been stopped and by the use of powerful opiates he expected nature would takr stops toward healing the wound so that Mr. Thomas could be moved in three or four days. "The turfman now lies in the wing of the one-story shanty used as Bleeping quarters for some of his men at the EherpEhead Ray track. Shilling was arraigned in court yestardav morning and held without bail to j await the outcome of Mr. Thomas' injury. He pleaded self-defense. According to Shilling, the trouble arose when he went to Texas to see his parents without Mr. Thomas' consent. On his return Thomas refused to allow him to rido for four months. As to the stabbing, the jockey said: "We had some words and I saw Thomas reach back as if to pull a pun or a nnlfe from hrs hip pocket. Then I drew my knife and jumped at him." CHANCE PICKS CUBS TO LEAD Los Angeles. Nov. S. Catpain Frank Chance and Pitcher Orvie" Overall of the Chicago cubs arrived in Los An gele?

STILL HOPEJOB GUI Naval Academy Authorities Would Meet Army Eleven as Scheduled.

Annapolis, Md., Nov. 2. There Is a gleam of hope that the Army-Navy game, scheduled to tak place at Philadelphia on Nov. 27, will be played, although the request of Colonel Hugh I Scott, superintendent of the military academy, that the game be called off owing to the death of Cadet Byrne, will be eecepted unless it is withdrawn. The only hope of its continuation lies in the fact that Captain J. I Bowyer, superintendent of the Naval academy, has delayed his answer to the request until action shall be taken upon it by the Navy Athletic asoclatlon. The war and navy departments having sanctioned the game arranged for this season, must also agree to its cancellation before that is accomplished. Though local officers are not willing to be quoted under the circumstances, and are not willing to be put in the ungracious position of refusing prompt aoqulescence in the request of the army authorities that the game be called off, there is no question but that the feeling that Cadet Byrne's death does not make a valid reason for stopping the game.
