evoi held the champion championship ship shill so 50 long Ions Ho built bunt for n a champion though he has hnS floored some good ones cues Ho has a but butIs butIs butIs Is not clever eleer enough to land it if it you ou play for him right rl hl He has won moro more battles on tricks than anything else When he lie stepped Into the ring at al Point Richmond after an keeping every everybody everybody body hod waiting so long 1 I was as sore He Hc wanted to set got me inc nervous but hut It had the lie other effect I walked I up lip to him nail and said Nelson youve youe got someone In the ring this thiH time that you can do any an anything thing you OU like kc wIth wl h and he wont say gay sn a n word You can an box boc bite bito kick or butt and add a d its all the same S IDO to

fou hr Nelson and more than n I T am nm right now not no 1 I am getting bettor better all the time Thu Tho way 3 ho lie fought fou ht that fight show shiny any nn great Ji at chani cham dunn form on omu his part PI t Nelson Nelon fought foupht rou ht tow fights and md it was waR only after many mall hard knocks and schem scheming ing In that bo ho was able a le to get Cans Gaas flans Gaas S wits wnM one of the tho greatest Rt fighters In Iii n the lie lightweight ht class the time world has ever WI known The Tho reason that Nelson Nc lson could rould not got get ol fights j was WI because he wanted too tO much of the gate n tl receipts receipt 1 Plenty of good purses es were but hut matches fell tell through because Nelsons share was to ho bo to big hl Only Fair Flir Treatment Now No Tones ToncH can ran match me mime anyone in the world and as a long us usI mm 11 I 1 get fair air treatment I dont dunt hick kick We Ve will take lake tal them all on in iii turn one ono at a it time There are aro lats bats of I good orI fighters at nt my m weight who wh would make good drawing cards ranis In Inthe Inthe the eastern cities lots of good bouts aro are 10 lo be had Time Tho trouble In tho the east cast is that thal the tho fight fans believe lIell no one In the world can ca n beat eal their favorites while sImile the fighters them themselves selves think there is Js no money mone out outside side sine of Gotham tham Say Sn if ir they th the y were to go out west soon oon change chango their minds Whore Where there Is no championship at stake I wont be too careful about dictating terms The lightweight situation Is just thin this If rr Bat Dat Nelson wants another crack at me he can have hac It I will dictate terms as champion and they tho will be he perfectly fair to him When Whon Nelson Is Js silenced I will then take on Freddie Welsh elsh and I have some seine offers at the time present time Ume that look 1001 look as if the fight were badly wan van wanted I ted tel If Freddie would beat boat several of or the th others like Moran and an Mc lIe McFarland McFarland Farland it would make his drawing powers o ers even greater and amid I have to play for that feature f as much as possible as well as keeping busy bus busI I with the tho gloves Remember I hove lovo to fight I bt and will I not Dol lot a It few lew dollars stick in the way wa of a scrap but they the havo got bot to Como through with the at the same time lime A fighters Career is only too short and with the aid old aidI I of Tom Jones ono one of oC tho best bORl man manI managers I agers
