Show J' V "" "" - CJds in Corfcctt's Faycr, but It: Dane Is Dcttlng: Heavily ca Himself. , There has not been a battle for year which Beams ts uncertain as to out- come as does the Cor bet t-Nelson fight. Although the prevailing odds art 10 to '7 on Corbett, the Nelson rooters are taking ta-king all that Is offered and the Corbett ' plungers are mighty careful how. they offer much at those odds. ". On past performance Corbett should win, buirthen past performance , Is a . very dangerous thing to bet on. Corbett Cor-bett is cleverer than the Dane and has a most wonderful punchln either hand. He likes to have his opponent bring . the fight to him and that is Just what , Nelson will do. . The battling one Is on top of his man all the time- and never I for a moment gives him a chance to stall or rest. He has not got a particu-larly particu-larly vicious punch, however, and here- j tofore has won bis opponents down rather than put them away with a punch. He is a glutton for punishment and none of his recent opponents have appeared to feaze him. although they have been able to hit him almost at will. The Dane is In splendid shape and has ceased all hard work. He is well down to weight and has trained faithfully. faith-fully. Nelson is not a man who ever dissipates and has much the advantage over Corbett In that respect. He has a lot of fast sparring partners and in training he goes fast enough to make any man hustle. Eddie Santry and Frank Raff el are putting the finishing touches on him under the direction of Eddie Murphy. It seems that the weight Question is bothering the Corbett retinue greatly. He Is still doing a little road work but his trainers are depending on the drying dry-ing out process to put him on the scales at 130 at 6 o'clock on the day of the fight. If Corbett Is not in condition, the pace Nelson will set will soon disclose that fact and. it narrows down to a question whether Corbett can land the sleep producing wallop before the attack at-tack of the Dane weakens him or not. Nelson is betting heavily on himself and a record breaking house is expected. expect-ed. The measurements of the men are as follows: Corbett Measurement.
