But Bat soon made them change their tune.

Oscar Matthew Battling Nelson was born In Copenhagen June 5, 1882. He had six brothers and a sister. When Bat was a year old the family migrated to America, settled in Hegewisch, 111. The population consisted of Dances and Ewedes and they were always at work as Ice cutter on Lake Michigan at 15 cents a day. The heavy outdoor work Inured him to hardship and further toughened his naturally tough physique.

In fall of '96 Wallace's circus came to town. By this time Nelson had changed his vocation to meat cutter. Traveling with the circus was a pug meeting all comers. He was billed as the "world- renowned Unknown." has been playing top-notch golf In order to get the gang into for 14 years. He did not have a the show.

He was one of the staunchest supporters and one of the most loyal workers the TAAF ever had. John Rcilly was always active in those things which meant most for the young people, and especially for the boys and girls. He worked year In and year out in his own city and with the other cities of the state, helping to promote those things that would mean the most to these young people.

John Rellly'R advice and aid has helped to solve many knotty problems In the TAAF. He was always very patient and very considerate and contributed 1m- mesurably to the progress which the TAAP has made through the years. I My la.st visit with John Rellly was in Houston, the week before Christmas. At the time of this visit he told me of extra things which he was ready to do to help promote our Junior Baseball program and also told me of plans which he was working out to establish a canteen for the high school yout hot Houston. Finally, he showed me the wonderful Christmas tree which hod established In front of the Municipal Building, having perfected an arrangement whereby this great tree was covered with white snow nnd various colored lights flashed on and off at night.

He was proud of this arrangement for the people of Houston, especially the children, and he wanted me to tell other cities about this plan. It scema to me that I always think of John Rellly's life as typifying the a tie for second place at 36 holes. McSpaden came up to No. 17 one under par but he topped the ball on his chip shot and it rolled across the green and over. In try- Ing to get back, McSpaden didn't hit the ball hard enough and it failed to get over the froghair.

He ended up with a six on the par- four hole. Behind McSpaden, with 141, was Henry Ransom of the United States Maritime Service at Galveston, who shot a 70 Saturday to go with his 71 Friday. At 142 rested E. (Dutch) Harrison of Greensboro, N. Army Air Field, who shot another 71, while Claude Harmon of Houston and Harry Cooper of Minneapolis each had totals of 143, Cooper off- the fun on Friday night, along i setting his three-over 73 of Friday with survivors from Thursday I with a two-under 69.

The 133 posted by Revolta was one of the lowest scores for 36 holes in the history of the Texas Open.

Continued cold weather caused more withdrawals from the field of 110 that went out Saturday and indications were that only about 90 would play the third 18-hole round today. The competitive course record tied by Nelson Saturday was set in 1939 by McSpaden. There was not an amateur in the first 25 low men through Sat- fore the "famous" unknown. As the Hegewisch kid climbed into the ring the band started its 'Down Went McGinty" but It was the Unknown who went down--for keeps In the first round.
