showing, but he was hollering: Mix it
up, Tom. Mix Ii up, and 4 was the guy

Why, they are kicking about this and
calling il a fake. how about that other
fake the last time time that 1 was here,
that was all fixed uD and there was

NELSON is ORIGINAL
Battling Dane Employs Methods
of His Own in
Training.

Battling Nelson is training in his usual
appy-go-lucky, but very strict, way out
in Frisco for his fight with Jimmy Britt,
Dec. 20. says Left Hook.
Nelson is most original in his training
methods, and at the same time very SEN
sible.
He is a disciple of the theory advo-
Gated by Mike Murphy of Yale that the
work a man can do with a smile on his
face is ten times as good for him as
anything else so long as he lives prop
erly and does not dissipate.
The Battler does Just as his change
able humor dictates, but from morning
till night he is continually doing, and
doing hard.
II he feels like running, he runs; If
he feels like fighting, he fights. If he
starts in for a ten-round bout with one
Of his sDarring partners and after two
rounds gets the notion that he would
prefer TO take a long walk. he at once
takes off the gloves and is out on the
road.
Then, he often has a within for floor
stunts and Swedish gymnastic exercises
Whenever the weather keeps him indoors
his trainers have rough house exist
ence. He goes from one room to an
other singing them out for some kind
Of a graphing match or any old stunt
to keep working.
