colored boy stood with, his hands down
waiting for Nelson to steady himself,
the Battler gave him a vicious blow
In the stomach. He was roundly hissed
for this by the crowd.
Although Goldfield is a mining
camp, it Is seldom that a more orderly
crowd ever attended such a contest.
There was no disturbance of any kind
and no rough language used. Gans
-was undoubtedly the favorite with the
people. His gentlemanly behavior won
the admiration of the Goldfield people
and they showed it. Gans is a hero
in Goldfield tonight.
The attendance was about 5000, al
though estimates were made as high
as 8500. The Goldfield Athletic Club
arrangements were perfect. There was
not a hitch of any kind and the fight
could be seen from any portion of
the arena. About 200 women were in
attendance.
The fight was for the lightweight
championship of the world and a purse
of $33,500, of which Nelson got $22,500,
Gans $11,000, regardless of the result.
The proceeds of the moving picture
show will also be divided on & per
centage basis. The men were to fight
at 133 pounds under Queensberry rules.
The betting was strong, with so
much Gans money In sight that the
odds went to 10 to 6 on the colored fel
low. Shortly before noon the deadlock:
that had practically existed In the bet
ting for two or three days, owing to
both sides holding out for prices, was
broken. Money began to change hands
rapidly, and in most cases bets were
made at odds of 10 to 8, with the negro
favorite. The San Francisco delega
tion that arrived early this morning
on special trains had a preponderance
of Gans money to wager. Odds
changed to 10 to 7 and finally 10 to 6
on Gans.

and Lundie went down again and
stayed there. He was completely
knocked out. Both men weighed in
promptly at noon in full ring costume.
Neither man tipped the beam, which

There was some little wrangling over
trifles by Manager Nolan, but little at
tention was paid to him.
The only time Gans had anything to
say was when Nelson weighed in. Gans
hitd started to leave the ring when
Nelson steppcl onto the scales. Gans
returned and demanded that Nelson
weigh in so that he could see it Siler
told Gans that it was unnecessary.
Nelson made a remark to Gans and the
colored man turned on him and said:

the ring, and you can attend to me."

clothes on. These included shoes,
trousers, cap, sweater and glasses.
The timekoeper selected by the club

saying that he wanted them to un

his men to enter the ring or throw the
sponge for him. The only thing that
If he had enough or was counted out.
He did not want to take chances on a
foul by any of the men in his corner or
any one else. Nelson afterwards In
dorsed these statements.
Gans won the toss for corners. He
selected the southwest corner, by
which the sun was at his back. He
wore short blue trousers and shoe, but
no socks. Neln was clad In light
green trousers entwined with white,
red and blue ribbons.
As usual Nolan was there with more
objections. Ho claimed that Gans
should have weighed in with bandages.
Gans then said:
T don't want any tape anyway," and
the crowd cheered. Nelson's arms were
bound with white tape.
After announcing the terms of the
fight L. M. Sullivan said:
"The club has sent a telegram to
President Roosevelt, but has received
no reply, although the President's son
is row at the ringside."
The announcement that young
Koosevclt was at the ringside was re
ceived with cheers and some one yelled
out "Show yourself and turn your face
toward the moving pictures."
A number of pugilistic notables were
then Introduced, including Tex Rickard,
president of the Goldfield Athletic Clnb;
Jimmy Britt, Kddie Hanton, Eddie
Graney and Frankie Nell.
The ring was then cleared and tho
fighters posed for moving pictures. At
3:22 they were given their instructions

any odds he chose, but the offer was
not taken.

this manner that Gans displays his great
generalship. Gans then put in a right upper
cut to Nelson's mouth and the Dane missed

initiative. Siler again and again spoke to

back against the referee with a left clip to
the jaw. Both men were very weak as the

that Gans had turned his foot In this round,
which might seriously incapacitate him for
the remainder of the contest.
Round 84.
The men wrestled and tailed iar, sa. ooan.
Ing, both seeming content to ret up. This
continued, neither landing a blow. It was
wrestle, stall, wrestle and stall again. Nelson
forced Gans to the ropes and received right
and left swings to the head. Kelson worked
in two short-arm lefts to the stomach and
both men wrestled. Gans nearly put Kelson
through the ropes. Joe was the fresher of
the two as the round ended. Kelson appeared
very tired.
Round 35.
It was the same old story wrestle, stall
and rest, without a blow being struck. Gans
finally ripped in a straight left to the jaw and
again they rested each other's head acalnst
one another's shoulders. Gans put in a right
uppercut that lacked force and they went
quickly to a clinch. Both men' tottered about
the ring, not landing a blow. Nelson at close
quarters worked two left short-arm blows to
the face and the bell closed a very slow and
tiresome round.
Round 36.
Both, sparred and then Gans started some
thing with a straight left to the face. Again
the wrestling. Nelson missed a forceful up
percut intended for the jaw,, and for a brief
moment it looked as if the men were aoing
to fight, but such was not the case. Gans
cleverly ducked a right swing and then ran
Into a right hook over the heart. Kelson
hooked a left to the stomach and at close
quarters got his right lightly to the jaw.
Nelson pushed Gans against the ropes and
Gans just did step out of the way of a right

and Kelson swung a left to the jaw, but
missed its mark three feet. They leaned up
against each other and little at tern Uj to
strike a blow were made. Then Gans whipped
a powerful left to the wind and they clinched.
Both men were very careful. Gans won the
crowd by catching Kelson at long range and
putting in several straight lefts to the face.
Then came the bell and a rest.
Round 38.
Kelson rushed in and Gans backed up
quickly, trying to keep the Dane at a dis
tance and force him to spar at long range.
Gans complained bitterly against Kelson's
resting his chin and shoulders. Kelson swung
a left to the jaw and after a clinch Gans
put in two rights to the Dane's face. Both
men were leg-weary and stalled and clinched
as much as possible. It was next to impos
sible to get the Dane to fight at long range,
and he realized that his only hope of winning
lay in close-range fighting, or rather wrest
ling. Gans likewise seemed perfectly content
to rest.
Round 30.
Gans jabbed his left twice to the face be
fore Kelson " could get to close quarters.
Then followed stalling and wrestling, which
was broken up by Gans punishing Nelson
viciously over the heart with the right.
Gans followed this with two straight rights
to the face and again It looked as if the
deadlock would be broken. It was only a
flash in the pan, however, and the men re
sumed the tiresome stalling, Kelson being
the chief offender. Kelson, by way of va
riety, sent in a hard left to the jaw and
Gans came back with two lefts to the Jaw.
Gans' left eye was closed entirely now and
he appeared to be tiring rapidly.

They started In at a lively pace, Gana
landing his left to the ear. Then they
stopped. In a clinch Gans drove a left to
the Jaw and Kelson retaliated with a left
uppercut to the jaw. The men did very
little fighting. Gans got Kelson at arm's
length and took advantage of this conces
sion by sending his left twice to the Dane's
sore head. Gans complained again about
Nelson's fyead and sent Kelson's head back
with left- uppercut to the jaw.

They came up slowly and clinched. Gans
asked Billy Nolan face to face: "What time

mouth and Kelson rebuked him with two
lefts to the stomach. Kelson whipped his
left to the face and the men ceased fighting
entirely. Suddenly Kelson landed a hard
left hook to the jaw and Gans fought him.
away, landing two lefts to the face and a
right to the body. Both men were wrestling
about the ring and it was hard to tell which,
was the more tired of the two as they went
to their corners.

left to the face and they clinched. As the
men broke out from a clinch. Nelson de
