Battling Nelson, the greatest piece of fighting material the world has ever known. Is going to appear at the Orpheum Theatre In Hammoni for three days, starting Thursday afternoon, in full dress, telling stories of his life, battles and career during bis travels throughout the world. While here Bat has promised to write a series of storiea for Thh Times, entitled: "Great Fighters I Have Fought." Following is his first story, telling about his great battle with Joe Gans at Goldfleld, Nev.. in 1 906. SPORTING EDITOR. Hy BATTLING NELSON (The Greatest of all Champions.) My greatest battles were with Joe

Gans. I say they were the greatest because of the Interest that was taken

in them. In the first place, Gans had

been hounding me for quite a while trying to get a match with me, figur

ing that I was by far the best among the lightweights and knowing that ho

would be the undisputed champion if

he defeated me.

My only reasons for refusing him

were that he- was a confessed faker,

although a very wonderful fighter. At

that time I did not think there was a

man In the world at my weight that

had a chance to knock me out (it may have been egotism, but that egotism Is the kind of egotism that all fighters should have). I figured that Gans was

liable to beat me. If successful in beating me the public would say:

"Well, Nelson, who has always been

on the level has finally turned crook

ed at last and laid down to Gans." On the contrary, if I should knock out

Joe Gans the public would say: "Well, that is one of Gar.s' tricks, he laid down, but it is just what I expected."

There was only one thing for me to

gain and that was money, and for that reason I demanded my share. I was putting in my time up around Salt Lake City, Utah, having a good time hunting and fishing. On my arrival in Salt Lake I picked up a Goldfield Sun which stated that Tex Rickard, the energetic mining promoter, was seeking a little celebration for tho miners on Labor Day, and as Jack Clifford had hit town a few days previous he challenged the entire camp regardless of size, and I thought it would be a fine piece of easy change and only a vacation for me to fight Clifford. So I telegraphed back to Rickard that I would accept a match with Clifford for $5,000 guaranteed for my own end with $5,000 as a side bet. Inside of an hour's time I received

word from Rickard, stating that the

match with Clifford would be accept

ed, on terms asked, but would I consider meetings Gans. I, of course, did not want to jay I did not want to meet Gans and figured there was only one

Inducement for me to get; that wai money. .Therefore I wired accepting the Clifford match, but would- consider Gans providing they would give me $0,000, win, lose or draw. It did not take an hour's time before I got an answer back from Tex Rickard, stating: "Will give you $20,000 to fight Joe Gans in finish fight. (This was my only prize fight during my career extending over twenty years).

Have posted $5,000 in J. S. Cook & Co.'s Bank. Goldfleld. Will forward same to Salt Lake or any place you name." - All I could do was to accept, which I did. I Bent my representative ahead to close the deal and followed him a couple of days later. When we got to Goldfleld Billy Nolan demanded $2,500 as a bonus because I was the drawing card, and $500 as expenses, which Tex -Rickard gave, and tickled to get the match at that price. Now I will make clear a point on the weight which has always puzzled the general public and Nolan's "pound

of flesh' that the sporting writers

have made so much of. Joe Gans and I were to weigh in 133 ringside with

fighting togs on and fight for the lightweight championship of the world to a finish. Nolan demanded Gans weigh in three different times, namely: 12 o'clock noon, 1:30 and 3 p. m. on the day of the fight and to

weigh not more than 133 pounds at any of the times above stated, the 'ast

weight to be at the Arena and the first weighing in to be at convenient

places designated by the club.

In the first place Joe Gans was the

colored lightweight champion and

was the white lightweight champion

by virtue of knocking out Jimmy

Britt. We were considered the two best lightweights at that time. I figured that the only way we could get the

lightweight championship where it be

longed was for someone to knock out

Joe Gans, and figured that I was

deisgnated to do the trick. But before

I entered into any bout I figured. as

I have stated earlier in the paper, before I would take any chances of be

ing considered crooked I wanted them

to pay me for it anyway, which they did.

We drew into the Arena the total

gate receipts amounting to $69,715 a total of paid admittances of 7.2S5.

among them were about 1.500 women.

There were about 600 people who entered without paying admittance including newspaper men, deputies, spe

cial officers, making a total of almost

8,000 people in the audience. The

population of Goldfleld at that time was less than 2.500 people. Every city

In the United States of any consequence was represented at tha ring

side. Quite a few people came as far

as from Australia, England. Ireland. France. Spain and some from Cuba. Even Hegewisch was represented. To show you what a regular fellow Tex. Rickard was. after Nolan had demanded my bonu:i he went to Joe Gans, who was to receive $10,000 win. lose or draw, and said: "Here, Joe. 1 had to give Nelson $3,000 extra, so here is $1,000 for you." which made the match cost Rickard for the purse $C?.000 for me and $11,000 for Gans, a

total of $34,000. The arena cost Rick- ! ard about J10.000 on account of labor!

being as high as the , attendance In Goldfleld. Everybody Was holding

Rickard up trying to hog It all. but he ' wa.i a regular sport who went through j

with It and gave the public a good time for their mony. He has done the same thing on many occasions since. Gans and I fought forty-two rjund

in the boiling hot sun which was 110 In the shade, and Geoige SHer of Chicago was the referee.

AGAINST IT ALSO

FORT WAYNE. IND., Nov. 23. The Friars and Wabash will not play off the rubber game, which means that the 1916 game score between these two old-time rivals will remain tied at one all, where Routh booted it when he Ti!--kicked 3 points onto the Wa

bash ledger at Wabash, enabling Wabash to win. 3 to 0. It was a listless.

shiftless game of football, with fumblinr frenuent and consistent play sad

ly lacking. Alibis are as odious us comparisons, but if ever anybody was

entitled to furnish an "if" the friara are. Dorias. Rockne and Pliska were

missing from the team. Pliska is

nursing a broken rib and Rockne and

Dorias were kept away by their

coaching duties. Both of them have big Thanksgiving games on. and

their teams demanded their attention

Sunday, which prevented their playing with the Friars. At least, that's

the charitable explanation given, al

though one rumor has it that they were shown more money by Massillon than the Friars could pay.

Routh's goal from field was a lucky

bit of pastry. He never booted one in

whis life before, but standing on tne Friar 25-yard line and with ,a stiff wind at his back, he inserted his too

under the ball five minutes before the ' final whistle and kicked several hundred megs out of the pockets of Friar bettors. ( Coonie Checkeye fumbled a half ! dozen punts, Wabash actually recov- ! tring four of Kenny Yarnelle's boots 1 that were carried awry by the high wind. The yardage lost through thif i kept the Friars working up hill all tho 'time. Three times the black and 1 oranse threatened Wabash's goal Jinc, ! but couldn't quite negotiate the re- ; nuircd distance.

I The play of Edwards and "Deac" : Jones at tackles was about the only ! relieving balm for the Friar view- ' point.

FINE PLAYERS

BY HAMILTON. United I'ress Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Nov. 2S. Just as brilliant as some of their most famous predecessors, with records that show even more for a season's performance, and with whole bones and necks, several of our country's best young men are basking in tne calcium glimmer of football's most powerful searchlights. And, for the most part, they

j owe their prominence to the fact that ' modern football, involving open forma

tions and fast forward passing, has made it possible for the small man to match his prowess with that of tne slow-moving but powerful behemoth so essential in the old style of play. Just one instance of this sort of glory Is apparent in the work of Eddie Casey, Harvard's brilliant young backfield general. He is a slight man, yet he is able to drive through trained forward center rush lines or skirt ends with the best of the heavy line smashers. His lack of weight Is but little handicap because the open formations make it possible for him to push his wriggling, twisting body through tne holes opened fof him by the interference. Every slight football player may not be a Casey. More often than not it works the other way, but if Casey were playing the old-style game he

would not be a star because his poundage handicap would not let nim. He would be unequal to the task of withstanding the crushing pounds that would be flung at him in heavy mass plays. Elmer Oliphant is another player who has been helped to prominence by t.ie new rules. Persons who never saw oliphant heave a football through the air cannot understand how remarkable is the accuracy and force of his passing. Most of his great efforts this year would have gone for naught had it not been possible for nim to engineer big gains by the use of the aerial movement. He is a heavy line plunger and a fast running, heady back. But he has failed at times, just the same as the others. His forward passing, helped by the great work of Vidal, however, has pulled tne Army over many a rough rfpot in the road.
