COLMA ARENA. San Francisco, Sept.
. Battling Kelson clinched his claim
to the lightweight pugilistic champion
hip by defeating Joe Gans for the sec
end time at Colma Arena this after
noon. The flsrht ended In the twenty
first round, when Cans, beaten down
by a succession of blows from his
sturdy conqueror, failed to get upon his
feet within the count of ten. The vet
eral colored fighter was severely pun
ished but tee champion, too, has the
marks of battle. -
From the first dang of the gong to
the last moment. Nelson forced the
fighting, never giving ground, and
gradually battered down his older and
less vigorous opponent. Ge.ns sue
cumtoed In the twenty-first round after
being most unmercifully trounced by
the lad from Hegewlsch. Nelson In
this round rained In right and left
(mashes to the Jaw and body of Gans
and soon beat him Into a helpless state.
Last Battle, Says Gans.
Gans sank to the floor and the
referee began to count. Mechanically
the defeated man watched Keferee
Eddie Smith wave his hands, apparent
ly too far gone to hear him count. The
count of ten was tolled off and It was
then that Gans. ashen pale; his face
terribly cut and with his eyes glassy,
sought to rise He realised, however,
that it was too late, and feebly mut
tered: "I have positively fought my last
battle."
The fight was most spectacular and
at no time did it appear as If Gans had
a chance to win. Time and again 'tie
would shoot wicked punches to the
Battler's face and body, but the latter
never for an Instant wavered. From
the tap of the Initial gong Nelson was
on top of his man. lashing out with
right and left to the stomach and head
and Jaw. giving the colored man no
opportunity for re&t.
When Gans was seen In his dressing
room his face presented a terrible 'pic
ture. His right eye was closed, the
left partialis so; his lips and nose were
badly lacerated and his face puffed out
like an Inflated . balloon. He mumbled
out the following statement:
One Fight Too Many.
"I made one flght too many. Nelson
1s a tough boy and beat me fairly. I
will never" flght again. I will return to
Baltimore Immediately and attend to my
hotel business there. This Is no Fattl
farewell, but In dead earnest."
Willus Keffe, one of Gan's principal sec
onds, said after the fight:
"Gans wasL in after the ninth round.
In the eleventh. I begged him to allow me
to toss the sponge into the ring. This he
would not allow me to do, saying he pre
ferred to be knocked out and would flght
as long as he had the strength to stand.
For 11 rounds Gans fought on his courage
alone, as he could not land a damaging
punch."
Xelson to Fight Xo More Negroes.
Nelson said:
"Gans was tougher than before. He was
in good shape and he fought me a dif
ferent kind of a flght, but I proved con
clusively that I em his master in any
kind of a flght. From now on, I will
never fight a colored man again. I shook
hands with Billy Papke today and we
both made this compact. 1 hurt my right
hand in the second round, but kept on
using It regardless of the pain.
Nelson's Plan of Battle.
From the outset It. was apparent) to
everybody that Nelson had mapped out
his plan to beat Gans, namely, to keep
after him at all times, force him to close
quarters and beat him down with body
punches. The Battler, from the very
tart, tore into Gans and. getting him at
close Quarters, played tor nis stomacn.
Nelson gave Gans no rest. Time and
strain the colored man was forced to stall
nd bring all his cleverness In the way
of smothering end blocking into piay.
Frequently he sent hard right and left
Jolts to the Dane's jaw and body, but they
had not the slightest errect.
Nelson appeared to be as strong at the
finish as in the beginning or the tight.
One of his teeth was knocked out In the
fourteenth round and blood flowed freely
as a result. . The sight of the blood spout
ing from Nelson's mouth caused short
enders to mount their seats and shout
encouragingly to the fast-dying colored
lad. He responded gamely and In the
following round made wnat was tne mosi
furious round of the flght.
The men weighed in. stripped, at 133
pounds. Betting was even that Gans
would not last 20 rounds and was 10 to
( In favor of Kelson on the general re
sult. . -

lefts to the mouth, which started the blood
flowing. Gans contented himself with
blocking and smothering and permitted Nel

Jaw. Nelson went after his man with fury

by Good Margin.
Portland lost again yesterday to Los
Angeles In an uninteresting game by a
score of 8 to 4. All of Portland's
tallies cams singly and were spread
from the second to the eighth Innings.
The Southerners took the game In hand
In the fifth, when they landed on
Groom for four hits and a total of
seven bases. Oakes brought three men
In with a pretty triple to right, and
then scored himself on Dillon's single.
The Southerners kept their batting eye
in the sixth and added three more.
Whaling allowed Ellis to slide Tinder
him to the plate, although he had time
to spare, and this gave the visitors one
more than was necessary.
Rose was put in the bos at this stage
and held the hard-hitting Angels to
two scattered singles for the rest of
the game, but the damage was done
and Portland could not overcome the
Leads at First.
The home team got Its first, run In
