CONTEST ENDS IN THE TENTH ROUND Victor Leaves the Ring Un scathed While Corbett Is Badly Battered. (Journal Special BerTtea.) . Ban Francleoo, Nov. SO. "Battling Nelson" won a dclalve battle from "Young- Corbett" last night In the tenth round of one of the toughest contest ver witnessed In this city. The winner was tendered a splendid ovation at the C" ia) of the match, while the vanquished wa carried away to hli dressing room with few to mourn for him. The Unpopularity of Corbett was evidenced throughout the contest whenever Nel Mit would land a hard blow, aa the crowd fairly want wild for the Chicago Jad, while memories of Corbet t un savory tricks only served to augment the terrific uproar for the victorious man. The fight waa one of the hardest and most brilliant of the many contests that have been palled off here, and Nelson deserves all credit for the masterful ex hibition that he put up. He Is right fully called the "Battling Nelson," as there never waa a time when he failed to bring the fighting right up to the Denver man, at the same time demon strating that he was master of the ring. Was taking no chances and slowly but surely wearing Corbett down with his terrific Jolts. It appeared aa If .Nelson consumed the first and second rounds in finding out Corbett's game, and then Increased his speed and punishment In each succeeding round, smaahlng his opponent right and left, until, the tenth round, when Corbett, no longer able to stand, put up his hands, and Harry Tut hill jumped Into the ring and tossed up the sponge. Corbett waa covered with blood during the last four rounds, and when the fight waa finished his face Was a mass of cuts and bruises. In the fifth round Corbett's seconds saw that Nelson waa out-generallng their man, and they kept yelling to Corbett to stay away from Nelson and protect himself. It made no difference whether Corbett stayed away or ran away, the Chicago man waa after him like a hungry wolf and kept the fight In his territory all the time, forcing htm to the ropes time and time again. Corbett's backers were confident that their man would manage to get in the wallop that would put a quietus on the Dane, but the wary Nelson did not give the Denvertte the slightest opportunity to land, and even when Corbett did send In what seemed to be a good blow It never disturbed Nelson in the least. As the fight progressed the crowd was aware that it waa only a question of time before Corbett would be ao weak ened by his own wild swinging and Nelson's stiff body punches that he would fall, and the cheers began coming In thunderous tones for the Dane. The ninth round waa another bad one for Corbett, and although he stood the severs punishment In good style, he was unable to land any of his vicious blows. At the end of the round he wobbled to his corner and his seconds knew that the end was near. The tenth was not very old when the crowd yelled "stop the fight." and at the same time the sponge went up. Corbett hobbled over and congratu lated his vanquisher, while the crowd surged Into the ring in an endeavor to Hhake Nelson's hand. rig" sy Round 1 Nelson waa the first to lead, missing left and rlgnt swings for the Jaw.

BOTH SIDES WISH TO GOVERN CLUB Portland Kennel Followers Doing Politics for Tomorrow Evening's Meeting. OFFICERS WILL BE CHOSEN FOR YEAR W. K. L. and A. K. C. Advocates Will Each Name a Ticket at the Election. i The annual meeting of the Portland Kennel club will be held tomorrow even ing in the Justice court, Alnsworth build ing, at 8 o'clock, and while the secre tary has not notified the members by postal card, as has been done hereto fore, it Is expected that all members who can will be present, as matters of Importance will come up. The principal bualneas of the meeting will be the election of the board of alrectors for the ensuing year and there will probably be two lists of candi dates up, one In favor of the Western Kennel club rules governing the com ing bench show, which la to be bald In June under the susploes of the Lewis snd Clark fair, and the other favoring Joining the national association, the American Kennel club and having their rules govern the show. Certain members of the present board of directors, who favor the Western Kennel league, are doing considerable politics for another term of office, but It remains to be seen how successful they will be In their efforts. For the past three years there have been two factions In the Portland Ken nel club, although the members have always used wisdom and have not di vided the club on the question of.W. K. i. and A. K C. but It begins to look as If the A. K. C. members were deter mined upon at least trying a show under the A. K. C. rules, and probably the coming show will be held under the older body's rules. The cause of much of the trouble Is: Last summer the officers of the Western Kennel league passed a rule that anyone showing a dog under other than W. K. L. rules, west of the 110th degree of longitude, would be disqualified, and this ralaed a storm of protest principally because the local fanciers often showed at the big spring show In San Francisco, the leading show of the weat, and aa that show Is alwsys held under A. K. C rules, It meant If they did so again, they would he disqualified and could not show anywhere else on the coast aa long as the W. K. L. dominated. After much protest, however, the W. K. L reconsidered their action and re voked the troublesome rule, but In the meantime the A. K. C. Pacific advisory board In San Francisco passed a rule that any person who waa on the board of directors of a club holding a show under other than A. K. C. rules, west of the 110th degree of longitude, or anyone actios; as l idge of such a show, would he .V '.jellified, but If they were wise enough not to disqualify an exhibitor and thus whlls they ran keep officers from nctlng at a W. K. L show or a Judge from Judging they do not bother the exhibitor, hence the rule does not affect the entry at their show as It would have necessarily done under tha W. K. L rule that was finally revoked. Among the leading fanclera who are in the two factlona In the local club Bra, for the Western Kennel league: K. F. Willis. William Goldman. Frank Fleming, Frank Thorn. J. A. Taylor, and several others, while smong the A. K. C. element era Dr. K. F. Tucker. Dr. Yenney. Dr. James C. Zan. W. B. Fech hetmer. Joa Pratt. F. E Watklns, T. E Daniels snd others who annually bench dogs at tha show. A WOWDE. Michigan students agree to a man that Heaton la one of the greatest football players that has ever graces! a gridiron. There la sound sense In placing thla confidence In Captain Heaton, who In four years has never played one losing game of football. He would be today at ,the height of his career In mora senses than playing hla last great game. Hea ton Is this year the fittest to play foot ball that he ever was In hia Ufa. In all his three previous years of play at Mich igan Heaton has each year been set back in his development by one Injury at least. In 1104 he has plsyed through every game, except the Drake game, and has not taken "time out." He has gained over 2,000 yards, making every step of the way fighting against men who hurled all their weight agalnat him. He has scored close to 100 of Michigan's points. Through all this battering he has come without even getting his wind knocked out. It Ib one of the finest pieces of training aver done at Michigan.
