Finn writes that the franchise which was offered to him in Ogden, Utah, is still open and that In addi- tion he has threeeoffers as scout, one of them at a corking good price® He savs he will probably accept one of these four places within a few days.

Durable Dane Had Wonderful Record Both at Receiving and Giving Pun- +ishment. ‘Battling Nelson was one of the gamest men that ever stepped into a pair of fighting trunks. A fan who is of a mathematical turn of mind has just figured out that Bat assimi- lated 13,380 blows during the 14 years he was in the ring. Add to this state- ment the fact that the Dane is still begging for another crack at Ad Wol- gast and you will get a pretty fair idea of Nelson's courage. The Battler's wonderful endurance, when reduced to something like this today Nelson was one of the sturdy principals in 94 bard fought ring en- gagements. These 94 bouts equalled & tota] of 669 rounds, Bat, never e clever boxer, was always an easy mark for his opponents to hit. It is doing him no injustice to assume that the average number of blows he has stood up under in each round would equal 20. Multiply the total number of rounds by this av- erage of 20 and the enswer i3 that the Dane has received 13,380 jolts, punches and wallops on the head, face and ody. The ex-lightwelght champion is a marvelous man, end in heaping this -4 SATURDAY MARKETS. Large Trading in U. S. Steel Reading—Heavin, at Close. and New York, Jan, 14—10.10 a. m.—The featurs of the opening of the stock market was extensive trading in U. S. Steel and Reading. Steel opened with a block of 9,000 shares at 76 3-4 against 76 1-4, yesterday’'s closing. A block of 8,000 Reading changed hands at 156 3-4 to 156 1-2, an advance of 1-4; Toledo, St. Louis & Western pfd. advanced a point and there were 1-2 point gains in Louisville & Nashville, Missourl Pacifie, Union Pacific and Great Northern pfd. The tone of the market was strong. 11 a. m.—Stocks were supplied free- 1y on the advance and the market re- acted slightly and became dull. New York Central was weak on rumors that a large bond .ssue would soon be made. Canadian Pacific, Reading, and other stocks which advanced firmly vesterday fluctuated within a range of about 1-2. The new y 4 1-4 per cent, bonds sold at 107 7-8 compared with 101 for the old issue. Some weak spots cropped out im the inaétive sec- on. At 11 o'clock Lehigh Valley was bLid up rapidly to.178 3-8, a gain of over a point, and the rest of the list immediately picked up in sympathy. Closing. market_closed heavy. The market falled to hold its slight improvement on the bulge in Lehigh | Valley to 179, subsequently selling for | both_accounts forcing Read: ing, Union Pacific, St. Paul, Southern Pacific and Canadian Pacific slightly below yester- day’s closing, and New York Central over a point.

Some of s performances during his earlier days, when he was alternating as a. dish- washer and a prelimipary scrapper, arc a trifle obscure. One thing is sure, the boy was always out to win. Nelson t00k part in something like 26 battles that were labeled “no de- cision” and “exhibition bouts.” He lost seven decisions, was stopped by Ad Wolgast and_knocked out by Owen Moran. On the winning side Bat has 17 decisions and 27_knockouts to his credit. He fought 15 draws. There is the work in black and white of the determined Battler who waded tMrough 14 years of the hardest kind of fight- ing. Hard because he was usually forced to take a good beating before he had his man worn down to a_point where he finally had to succumb before the Dane's stamina. The fighting spirit of the old warrior refuses to be strangled. It would be better for him were he to turn his hand to his numerous business enterprises and stay away €rom the ring. Don’t e too harsh in your criticism of the veteran, though: just remember those 13,380 wallops that he has endured. He is entitled to talk fight for a few weeks yet. You remember how John L.

CI¥ICAGO’S TWO STARS, SHECKARD AND SCHULTE, Figured Largely in Winning National League Pennant. “The work of Sheckard and Schulte | the past season figured largely in the| Cubs' winning the National league pennant, according to Artie Hoffman. Early last spring foolish stories about | Sheckard’s being traded and saying his days were numbered as a major leaguer were printed, but in epite of | these yarns, said James Tilden had | one of the most prosperous vears of his career. His batting was hard and very timely, and his fielding beyond comparison; in {fact, sensational all year. Hardly a day passed that he didn’t make a wondenful catch or a lar throw and many a game was won by none other than the sup- ty down and out Jimmy. Sheck- ard and Evers are two of the best, i not the best, leadoff men in baseball today, and: only the pitchers of the op- posing clubs can,tell you how these two men worry them. Few meople reaiize Sheckard’s worth to a ball club, but the men on the team are in a position to appreciate him and the re- markable plays he pulls off. He rivals Fielder Jones in playing batters and makes the most difficult catches ap- pear easy. As for Schulte, we can’t find anything good enough to. say for him. He comprises everything in the makeup of a grand outfielder. He is one of the fastest mén in the game and the easy manner in which he pulls down the longest hits often keeps the fans on the anxious seat, but he was hardly ever known to drop a fly ball and his wonderful throwing arm en- ables him to throw out the fastest men trying to score or take extra bases on hits. Although the easy going Frank is one of the best outfielders in baseball, his long_suit is hitting them out of the park. He and Beck of Bos- Llhave to skip the sporting pages, now- McClafferty-L. founz 724, MeClaf- ferty-Hill 707, and Lucas-Hill 704.

Bill McClafferty's single of 127 took the prize on Saturday for high score. TALES TOLD AT THE RINGSIDE By W. A. Phelon. THROWING AWAY A CHAMPION “I don't like to read anything about Jack Johnson,” says Johnny Connors, once a bantam fighter and now the big noise in the sporting and political lines at Springfield, I “In fact, I adays, because you cannot find a sport page without some reference to Jack Johnson, and I feel compelled, when- ever I read of him, to hand myself three swift, severe and successive kicks. “On account of my antipathy to the black race and my sorrow over the rout at Reno, you say?

Of course, there are other great out- fielders but there are few men in the to National league who have as baseball ability in their respecttve po- sitions as these two.” FINANGIAL AND COMMERGIAL. 141 13 67 14 3 0% B arvest 100 Toter Marine pfd 200 International Paper 1300 Intemational Pump . pfd . 1300 Laclede G 82600 Lehigh Valley " 690 Weatern Union . 100 Wheeling & L. .

Up in Chi- cago, at this time, a burly black called Klondike had been doing wonders, and I wired my old friend, Paddy Carroll, Who had a fight club, that I had a black demon I'd like to match with Klondike. The match was ratified by wire, and I started right up with the new found champion of the Zulus. “The fight that followed proved an awful blow to me. My new champ did nobly for a couple of rounds. Then he began to weaken. Klondike kept after him like a devil, and in the sixth round the lean and hungry coon whom I had brought from Springfield sank to the floor, unable to go on.

At a meeting here to- day, called for the purpose of discuss- ing’ proposed amendments, the joint committee decided to vote unanimous- Iy _for the change of the constitution. Numerous other amendments were agreed upon for adoption. One of these is the incorporation of the Amateur Athletic union relay racing rules into the intercollegiate constitution. In hurdle races it is proposed to make another change, whereby an athlete who knocks down three or more hur- dles will be disqualified. A competi- tor who trails a leg or foot alongside a hurdle shall also be declared out. KID SHEA OF WATERBURY AGAINST TOUGH OPPONENT Tommy Houck at 118 Pounds Will Provide Good Milling in New Haven.

In regard to tie _statistics which show that since 1872, when baseball records were first kept, 4,000 batsmen have faced league pitchers, with only 450 of them batting .300 or more, we merely wish to state that the pitchers always have been pretty wise guys, anywa; Pete Noonan, once a Cub catcher, | but traded to the Cardinals some vears | ago, will coach the Catholic univer- vity of Washington again next spring.
