Don't Accept "Something Else" and Think That You Are Getting B. V. D. INTER-CITY LEAGUE THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND. JUNE 4, 1010. Ex-Champion Lightweight Is in Serious Condition Follow ing Operation. BOXER WELL KNOWN HERE Scrapper IVlth Fighting Heart Is Recalled by Visits to Portland During Early Courtship of Fay King, He Recently Divorced. lETROIT, Juno 3. The condition of Battling Nelson, former ligrhtwelg-ht champion, who recently underwent an operation for appendicitis, was pro nounced "very serlons" by his. physician today. Nelson was born on Tun B, 1882. at Copenhagen. Denmark. He first began boxing- when only 14 years old, but did not attain the heights among the first division boxers until along about 1903 and 1904. He won the lightweight championship on July 4. 1909, by knock ing? out the negTO lad, Joe Gans, in 17 rounds at San Francisco. He lost this self-same title Just across the bay at Richmond on February 22, 1910, a ter rific dying struggle of 40 rounds, that transferred the laurelbaum to the brow of Ad "Wolgast. Nelson has always vouched that this decision was unfair and that if the referee had permitted the bout to con tinue he would have retained his title. Not a bit daunted. Nelson has kept himself In condition ever since, and ev ery few months you read of the famous Dane attempting a "come-back." He did startle the railblrds about a year ago by spoiling- the aspirations of a couple of promising youngsters at Havana, Cuba. "Bat" Nelson is . particularly well known here because of his frequent visits to Portland during his early courtship with Fay JCing. daughter of Jack Kin. Nelson Induced the clever young cartoonist to leave her work on a Denver newspaper three or four years aero and marry him. Their weaaea career was brief, for Mrs. Nelson left him within a. fortnight, and recently the Battler obtained a divorce. At his best. Nelson probably was the preatest fighting lightweight that ever lived. He was not clever, not an ex tremely hard hitter, but he had the fighting heart. Chess. E. H. BRYANT, Editor. Phnna Tabor 6213.

This is Billy Rodgers, Jr., the am bitious 2-year-old. son of Bill Rodgers. the Prodigal ball player, whose return from the big bushes is going to be feted and feasted, by the Portland fans. This youngster's un blushing hope is to be the world's greatest second Backer a better sec ond baseman than his father. He has a uniform Just like his dad dy's and a little bat. Instead of teach ing him his A B abs, his mother has started him on his world's Journey on baseball. Advice to Judge W. W. Mc Credie is to sign him before Billy Rodgers, Jr.. comes to the notice of John McGraw or Conny Mack. "While here he was In uniform every day and he proved to McCredie's team that he could call a ball player out as gracefully as any umpire has ever done or could do. The tot has a speech that has been taught him by his mother: "Daddy stood at the plate with his bat like this. The pitcher winds up. Daddy swings at the ball. The umpire calls him out like this." Then he goes through the motions of. Jerking his thumb over his right shoulder. Just to start something Bill, Sr., howls, "Kid. you're wrong! Daddy hit a home run!"

BOUT IS GIVEN MASGOTT REFEREE JACK GRANT MISSES ONE IX JIMMY CARROLL EVENT. Portlander's) Left Eye Cut Wide Open In Sixth Gorman Wallopa Martin, of San Francisco. Referee Jack Grant missed one Friday night In the opinion of a majority of the BOO fans when he gave Billy Mas- cott the decision over Jimmy Carroll In the main event of the Rose City Athletic Club's show. Mascott gave away about five pounds to the dancing one, but Carroll did most of the lead ing. In the sixth round Carroll cut the Portlander's left eye wide open with a short right-hand punch. Billy boxed valiantly, but glvina; the local boy a draw would have been stretching It, for the San Franciscan had a shade. Grant is an able official, however, and the best or referees miss one once in a while. The South Portland Frenchman weighed about 120 pounds. ' Joe Gorman, .bantamweight, gave Bobby Martin, of San Francisco, all he wanted in three rounds. Gorman has shown a lot of stuff in his two engage ments here, and is the logical opponent for Mascott at a future show. Martin substituted for Joe Farrell. Julius Hyberg, 150-pounder, substi tuted for Billy Nelson, and lost a de cision to Jack Wagner, 140-pounder. Valley Trambitas got an earned de cision over Romeo Hagen, for he had a shade the better of the argument. They are middleweights. In the- curtain raiser Billy Ryan and Sammy Gordon, 108-pounders, fought hard all the way. and the affair was called a draw. Jack Grant refereed all the bouts and Jack Fahie kept time.

Three teams will employ Herculean efforts to win In the Inter-City Base ball League this afternoon. The Brad fords, Woodburn and Salem are tied for the leadership of Fred Norman Bay's circuit, each having won six and lost three contests. . 1 It seems certain that one of the clubs or two are sure to drop out of the tie for first place. If all three should lose, then four teams will be tied for the league leadership for the Kirkpat ricks will crawl ud enough to be placed in the charmed circle. Portland fans will have an opportu nity at witnessing one of the conflicts. The Bradfords and the Kirkpatricks will do battle on the Vaughn Street grounds and the game should be hotly contested. The Bradfords have lost the last two games to Woodland and Salem. In these contests the team has not been hitting as it should. although the pitching of Moreland and Schwartz has been excellent. "Chuck" Edwards. Fritz Cohen, Wal lace Childers and Eddie Bogart com prise the East Siders infield and for a semi-professional aggregation it Is a good one. They can all bit. field and run the bases. Cohen has had a trial In the Western Tri-State League; Childers played professional ball for something like eight years while Bo gart had a whirl in the Union Asso ciation back In 1914. Here are the lineups of the two clubs: Bradfords Clark, catcher; Schwartz, pitcher; Edwards, first base; Cohen, second base; Bogart, shortstop: Childers, third base: Stepp. left field; Kennedy, center field; Luckey, right field. Kirkpatricks Baker, catcher: Murphy, pitcher; Claude Dixon, first base: Parrott, second base; Mulkey. shortstop: Sherrett. third base: Nelson, left field; Joe Dixon, center field; Bateman, right field. Chet Murphy, who will pitch for the lodgemen this afternoon, has just been released by Woodburn to make room for Pitcher Pellette.
