WOODWARD S PAVILION, BAN FRAN
CISCO, Not. 29. In the greatest tight wit
nessed between little men In years '"Bat
tling" Nelson of Chtcago won from Young
Corbett of Denver in ten rounds. From the
Up of the gong until Corbett's seconds
threw up the sponge Nelson was master
of the situation st every ftage of the
fame. His Infighting was a revelation and
the most brilliant witnessed In a ring here.
For the last three rounds of the fight Cor
bett waa na helpless as a baby, but he
wobbled around groggily and gamely, until
the repeated calls from around the house
to stop the fight caused Harry Tuthlll to
enter the ring. The light was over and the
new man If la line to vanquish Champion
Brltt
The story of the fight la simply told.
Corbett entered the ring at 8:45 almost un
noticed, owing to the presence of a guady
hued negro, whom Announcer Billy Jordon
Introduced aa Count Blsrlal, champion
Graeco-roman wrestler of the world.
"Battling" Nelson entered five minutes
later. Although It was not a championship
affair, the tense stillness of the big bouse
as the men squared up to each other
showed the Interest taken In the event.
Nelson was seconded by Ted Murphy,
Frank Rafael, Dan Danzlger and. Jack
Kelly. The opening odds were 10 to 2 on
Corbett. Later In the evening the betting,
owing to the weight of Nelson money,
switched to the odds of 10 to 7. The pa
vilion waa crowded to the danger point
and it la estimated that the receipts to
night will approximate 115,000.
"Cyclone" Kelly knocked out Ocorge
Adams In the second round of the first
preliminary.
Nick Cordell of San Franc-lsco waa
awarded the decision over Eddie Santry of
Chicago at the end of ten rounds. The
decision was very unpopular with the
spectators..
After the men had been photographed
they went to the center of the ring and
were Instructed by the referee. They then
were sent to their oornera to await the
clang of the Initial gong.
It will be. a twenty-round contest and
the men will break at the referee's order.
Time was called at 9:68.

ngalnst the ropes with blood streaming
from his .mouth and nose and presenting a
sorry spectacle. Corbett was weak and
almost tottered to his corner as the gong

the very outset. Nelson missed several
lefts for the face. Nelson then sent right

tell, seldom fulling to land. He uppercut
Corbett viciously several times with right
and brought mire blood from Corbeit's

son's Jaw, but there was no percentile
effect on the battling demon. Nelson's
round.

fighting back like a wild man. His swings
were wild, however. Nelson again rushed
Corbett to the ropes, landing at will with
right and left on the face. Corbett was

token of defeat.
Corbett " waa carried to his corner with

terly defeated pugilist.

SOLDIERS BEATK.V BV COLLEGIANS
Indoor Foot Ball Match does to the
Omaha Commercial College.
It was us hard a game as getting elected
to anything on the democratic ticket, but
the Omuha Commercial college captured
tne positions of the Fort Crook soldiers In
the Auditorium last night to the tune of 21
to 17. A small crowd mw them do it. At
the beginning the soldiers thought it was
as easy us the Yalu river, and so did every
body else. Hut as the game went along
the Commercials got together and lost no
unapplied strength. They also seemed to
be in better condition than the soldiers
and where during the first half the fighters
could plow them up and they could not
make so much in return, later they were
able to teur. the military line to pieces and
were not held for downs. It was a very
close squeek, however, and with only aeven
minutes to pluy the soldiers were 1 ahead.
The locals won the game with Just thirty
five seconds of time to spare.
The soldiers have developed a quite com
plicated and scientific defense, and had
they been able to hold their ground would
have had anaeasy time. They used a num
ber of double and delayed pass plays and
also called men back of the Una to add
weight to their attacks. The locals did not
attempt anything fancy, but depended
largely on the old fashioned tactics. Neither
side attempted to kick and In fact the
Auditorium hardly admits of this. Both
sides failed freely of getting goals.
For the collegions Thomas frequently
stepped over and blocked half of the line
while the bull was going around the other
wav. urummy, Congdon. Uregnry and
Welch were the sround gainers. The ant.
dler hacks were all aggressive and good
ground gainers. Miller also showed up
weu. woth sides were much stronger on
the offensive than tha defensive.

PtRTRAYS LIFE IN GROWING WESTERN CITY
"The nine Draion" anal "The White
Crystals" Stories that Will Interest
Boys "The Island ramp' la
a Story f Cams) Life.
Omaha people who enjoy reading a good
story will find In Zelda Dameron something
of double Interest to them. In the first
place, the book Is a cleverly told tale, les
soned with the true flavor of life In a grow
ing western city, and, secondly. It Is by the
same author who wrote 'The Main
Chance," to which several local personagea
contributed Ingredients for the characters.
"In "The Main Chance" Meredith Nichol
son planted the action of his atory here in
Omaha and drew upon a number of Omaha
Institutions and Incidents for descriptive
color. In "Zelda Dameron" he uses as the
background the historic capital of Indiana
and even to those who are not familiar
with the traditions snd celebrities of the
Hooaler metropolis certain references recall
eventa and actors whose reputation ex
tend beyond their home border line.
Zelda Dameron la portrayed by Mr.
Nicholson aa a type of young American
womanhood with a peculiar admixture of
motives and methods, but by no means too
different from the youthful society miss
we meet in real life to grata upon the
reader as unnatural. She Is an heiress who
Inherits from her mother a grievance
against her father, and a fortune, which he
dissipates, while her family pride condones
and covers up the crime to protect the
name and carry out her ideal of filial duty.
The selection of the son of her mother's
rejected suitor for the hero's part makes a
fine foil for Zelda. the contrast between
their temperaments and points of view
being well worked out. Among the other
characters are a psalm singing hypocrite
of a father, a guardian angel uncle, a so
ciety dame aunt, a hot headed army officer,
a poor but honest working girl cousin, an
elderly lawyer df - the old school and a
sporty get-rlch-qulck promoter of the new
school. The last mentioned personage Is,
perhaps, the most unique, his command of
up-to-date slang and redundancy of hot air
business schemes being unrivaled. A cer
tain fund of s6clal philosophy and caustic
comment upon follies of the day form an

AN EXTRACT FROM
HER LETTER
"If you could only be here this winter morning
and see for yourself, you would no longer doubt
me. Rosea are blooming in our front yard, and
all nature is aa far advanced in this lovely Amer
ican summer-land as it will be in your Eastern
home by June.
"We made the journey from Omaha to the
Golden Gate via the Union Pacitio and Southern
Pacific to avoid the oirouitoua routes an important
item in the winter. A trip to California is made
delightful by the perfect Berries and luxurious accommo
dation of the 'Overland Limited' which is perhaps the
most finely equipped train in the world."
