While II may seem that Father

SQUARED CIRCLE.
The Next Local Contest Between
Spider WEIGH and Bat

THE CARD CONSIDERED STRONG.
What Experts Say Of the Corbett. Britt
Fight-Denver Boy is Picked TO-
Garry OF Honors.

The Shamrock Athletic club has prac-
tioally completed arrangements for a
contest TO take place in Salt Lake the
9TH OF next month between Spider
Welch and Battling Nelson. The for.
mer is from San Francisco and the lat
ter from Chicago The boxers have
nsvNr seen each other, never fought,
ana they are evenly matched, accord
ing to their records. They will meet at
l2S pounds ringsde and 80 20 rounds,
or less, under the rules that usually
govern contests OF this kind. II Is the
&C ncensus OF opinion among local de-
voices OF the fight game, that the match
Is one of the best that has been made
here In recent years, and that the card
will prove TO be an exceptionally strong
one.
For several days the management
was seriously considering the proposed
match between Flynn and Hugo Kelly
as the first contest In April. Many Salt
Lake fight fans expressed desire 10
see a couple OF middleweights or
heavyweightS In preference 10 lltnt-
weights, and 1t is barely possible that
this pair viii yet be the first bout here.
The management has guaranteed them
a purse of $500, and they both accepted
the terms made. Welch and Nelson,
with their trainers are ready to come
here upon a moments notice. Trans
portation has been sent to them and
they only await the word TO come.
These men have exceptionally fine re-
cords, from a pugilistic standpoint.
Welch's record has been published In
these columns before and readers OF
the News" sporting page are familiar
with II. Nelson Is considered very
tough proposition among the light
weights, az he has defeated some OF
the best of them and has won "a
straight fights.
