What a funny - Business 'box fighting Is to be surer A Milwaukee club recently announced the Bignlug of Battling Kelson and Ad Wolgast -for tonight and Immediately lm ruffaw resounded 'through the ,.,m mua nonows or SportdORV ; The Idea of yanking the two old dere licts out of the Aaraffftaa ana At mit. llarn seemed too amusing for anything. woigast is 25 years of ae snd Net. . son has turned J I. yet the Wildcat end The Dane are) jeered at as though the memory oi man scarcely reached back . to their heyday, , Where on all this wd earth la there a line or endeavor, apart from fiitl- cuffs, wherein men' ere considered to have outlived their usefulness at either 26 or tbJ Why, Osier himself never oreamea of wetting a man's prime as . cioso to tne Tradle days as thaV V ngfllsnt Kost Wearing Wo.:; But the fact tMini i an f.. 1 .: their: fltld.of acUvity Is concerned Wol. , gaae ana Nelson are slippered panta loons. Neither one of them as a fighter is ; half its effective as he was when three years younger, and with their birth records staring us In the face, the les .,, son adduced is that pugilism is the , most wearing work a man can engage In, Tears ago. there was sporting con tention that ring men were at their best rrom to It years of age.' The fallacy . of the argument baa been shown many timaev Nelson, after years or Invinci bility, suddenly faded away and lost his laurels at the age of 7. Wol gas t wai relieved ot bla championship at 24. Here in Ban yrancieeo we had a youth. Eddie I -- Hanlon, who- was a battered old hulk and out Of the game before he was It. The od saying has It, "It's not the I mnef .wi travel but the pace that kills." In pugilism it's not years that are lived - hut the ume spent at fighting that kills. ' .Frequent training, excitement of combat and much hammering ssp the vitality and no matter what age a fighter start out at, he Is an old man, pugUlstloally eight or 10 years later. -' .- Ze Much' to Oommeai Xi. , At that, the Nelson-Wolgast bout has much to commend It and should be well worth witnessing. The writer cannot at this moment recall an Instance In which . two world's ex-champlons were engaged , In a bonaflde contest, snd ths fact that ., these two fellows both, contend that nothing short of bad fighting luck con tributed to their dethronement lend an added sett to the proceedings. - ' The vanity that . attaches to boxln and that Is ' a particularly besetting; .- weaxness In the se of Van qui ah ed coaropions uuni no no is or sunenea muscles or vanished speed. The pugilist who Is not "as good as he ever was," la , "either lying In a hospital or tucked away In Ood'a aore. But with both Nel son and Wolgast there is a little some - thlnsl which to build a flimsy argu ment that, given the ohance, .things v migiu h a they .Were, f ir r j Neither of them was. knocked 'oat the real sense vhen relieved of his title. : Nelson was lurchlngv across the ring at Rlchmond when Referee Eddie Smith halted him and proclaimed Ad Wolgast !

I' Share's ..the Xomorous Side. lngi match Is the way It was brought about Nelson set aside Labor day aa the date of hi perpetual retirement and laid down his gloves for ever and aye. amidst impressive ceremonies. What : followed recalled the story of two Irish- men hurt la a train wreck. On learning" I they both wore mortally injured, avmu tual friend persuaded them, to grip hands across the, hospital etretohers and for get a hateful fend that had endured al most a lifetime. " "Biit," aid one. "If we fet wefl. this reconciliation does not go." Bo with Nel son's retirement Bo long as there was a prospect' however remote, of a clash with ' wolrast, "The Cheese Champion," the retirement did not go. Unlet! Nelson and Wolgast have reached the age of philosophy and havo mads up their minds that there la noth ing much to boxing apart from the Jingle ' of the coin, the scrap at Milwaukee Is likely .to be a stubborn one. Nelson nev er f orcava Wolcaat for releratlna him to ! the background and Wolgast has pot forrvtteo the harsh things the Battler said about him: in the months after the title; changed hands., .- X Will lia Zlohmoad Oohtlnaofl. ' If (he old' rivalry is aroused the mmdsj of both men will hark back to that other fight on Richmond field on February 22. 1910.

For a minute or , so it looked as It the eld story was to be repeated, that Nelson after, being badly mauled, .was about a turn defeat into victory. But the old Nelson was not there. As a chopplnsr block hewas as endurlnar aS ver as a' battering rem' he had sloughed CO per cent. Ko far as fighting spirit is oonosrned. . 1 have no doubt It will be Richmond, over again... But I'ni thinking that It there Is anyone at the ringside who wit nessed that other scrap on the .drlisle soaked platform at Richmond, he will murmur when It is all overt "What tailing off there was. , .
