Last Night.
Washington, D. G. Sept. 20. Doc
White, the veteran left hander of the White Sox, is at last a candidate for the' management of the Washington club.
White yesterday was visited by two
committees, urging him to apply for the' place and was called upon by men active in the affairs of the club.
White for years has yearned for the
place, as Washington is his home town
and his place of business is here, but
never asked for It. Now that the place
Boston, Mass., Sept. 20. Battling
Nelson did not "come back" for certain last night but he started back. The once Durable Dane stopped Billy Nixon, one of the toughest of the crop of young lightweights in the east, in ten
rounds in the ring of the Armory A. A. Nelson had Nixon all but out when the battle ended. Referee Jack Sheehan stopping the bout to save Nixon needless punishment.
Nelson, while he did not look as rug
ged as he did in the days when he was
beating Joe Gans, showed up in sur
prisingly good form. He exhibited
no signs of fatigue and actually had more endurance and stamina than his younger opponent, which speaks much
for the durableness of the Dane, who
has been fighting for fifteen years.
As in the old days Bat did not look
good at the long range stuff. But when in close he made life miserable
for Nixon, as he once did for Gans,
Brltt and Young Corbett. He knew too much for Nixon in the clinches and
took all the starch out of Billy with well placed body blows, using his fa
mous left-half-scissors-hook to the
liver with telling effect.
Bat simply put his head down and
bored in in the old familiar way, the way that won him a championship. He was given an ovation at the end of the
fight, which he finished in good shape, looking fit to go many rounds more.
Nelson closed Nixon's right eye In
the third round and that member stay
ed shut for the remainder of the contest. In the seventh, eighth and ninth
rounds the Battler pummeled Nixon about the body In a terrible manner
and was seldom hit In return. After they boxed about a half min
ute in the tenth round the referee saw that Nixon's chances for winning were gone and that it was useless for him
to take a licking when he couldn't re
turn one. He then stepped between
them while they were clinched and de clared the Battler the winner.
Nelson Is scheduled to meet James
Saylor of Indianapolis and Matty Bald
win of Boston in this city within the
next month. Experts who saw him
perform last night figure that he may
beat both Saylor and Baldwin.

If there had not been a pebble lying concealed In the dust about third base, Mr. Will Burns, southpaw hurler of the
Phillies, would have possessed a nohit game against our retreating champions yesterday at the west side park. As it was he shut them out amid great clouds, of gloom without once losing
his manner of peaceful repose. The score was: Phillies, 2; Cubs, 0.
It wast bad enough to be licked by a
club we supposed was friendly to our cause. But to shut us out and allow only one hit was really the height of impudence. And it was a shame to accept that base hit, too. The ball was
going directly Into the grasping paws of Honus Lobert, when the pebble Interfered and the ball took a wild and unnatural bound over his head. He knocked it down with one hand, but
could not recover it in time to shoot the man out at first base. It would be unfair to charge Mr. Lobert with an error on such a freakish bound, so Jimmy Archer got credit for a single and he Is welcome to all the honor that
goes with it.

Senatorial band whipped the tattered
White Sox in the fifth inning yester

would have been plenty, but a reflex

final score to 7 to 3.
Except for those two Innings White
