IIELSOII IS VICTOR in sorehseii go Dane Easily Outpoints Foe in Ten-Round Battle in Racine Ring. Racine, Wis.. Feb. 6. Battling Nelson, still the Durable Dane, outboxed Young Sorensen of this city all the way in their ten-round battle 4n tne skating rink on the lake front last night. Sorensen tried hard, but lacked the experience to cope with the veteran Nelson. Nelson scored four knockdowns in his battle last night and gave Sorensen a beating that would have knocked out man less tough. In the first round Nelson dropped Sorensen for the count of five. In the fourth the local man went down twice. each time for the count of nine. Again in the ninth round Sorensen went down for the count of nine. The rounds were only two minutes long, and this alone prevented Nelson from scoring knockout in the fourth round. a ! Nelson confined his work entirely to 1 body punching, taking extreme care of j

his hands and leaving Sorensen's jaws ! When Overall retired It was after a severely alone. The Dane's maulers season of ill luck in which he experiwere in good shape at the end and his ; enced much trouble with his arm. How-

The Battler showed that he is still a tough ringster. He drove forward in the copyrighted Nelson fashion and never was idle for a minute excepting when Sorensen locked him in the embrace. Referee Ed Smith was kept busy prying the local man away from Bat, Sorensen's only hope of staying being in clinching. Nelson threw Sorensen around the ring and did everything in his power to make it an open fight, but the shortness of the rounds and Sorensen's desperate clinching foiled him.

BERTH WITH CUBS

OPEN TO OVERALL Evers Writes Pitcher and Expects Him to Join the Team. If "Big Jeff" Overall can hurl a base ball over the plate as he did four years ago the Cubs' pitching staff may still be the equal of any in the National league. It was learned yesterday that Manager Evers has written the big Californian and expects him to Join the west side team once more after his retirement from baseball for two years. Evers , arrived from Troy in the morning and admitted he has been trying to land "Big ieft" because he believes the gigantic hurler can come back and pitch the same brand of baseball as he did when the Cubs captured pennants. Overall retired from the game after the season of 1910 to give his attention to a gold mine in California. Reports are that the gold mine has been slow in developing and that the former star pitcher is willing to come back and earn more of the big money in baseball. ever, he seems to have effected a cure of the lameness, for in pitching for inmuch "stuff" as he had when at his best In the big league. He also developed a spltball, and big league players who saw him in the California exhibitions declared he had all the speed of the past. That was some speed speed, too, as any National league player of five years ago will tell you, for many thought "Big Jeff" could shoot 'em over faster than any pitcher in the league. He had a great overhand motion and in those days a curve ball that was a wonder. After experiencing the trou ble with his arm his cub ball seemed to be gone even after tt 'arm was en tirely well. In its plac )rvie has de veloped the "spltter," ly controlled, should his curve ever was. , h, if proper be i effective as YALE TO PICK COACH SOON New Haven., Conn., Feb. .
