rera in Baltimore.
That "BBattling'' Nelson is hot after
a fight with Jabez White. the English
lightweight champion, is shown by the
fact that last Friday he posted a $1,000
forfeit to blind the match. Nelson will
fight in public or private. and will bet
$500 against $1,000 that he knocks the
British boxer out within 10 rounds. The
only condition Nelson insists on is that
the fight take place before he White Britt
bout.
Nelson has also been offered a chance
20 meet Jimmy Gardner Of Lowell. The
Hayes Valley A. c. Of San Francisco is
willing TO give the pair a substantial purse
IL they will box there. Gardner has al
ready accepted. There Is no denying that
Jimmy Gardner Is one Of the best two
handed fighters I'm this country. Nelson
would find great difficulty in getting TO
the Lowell lad. who could outpoint Nelson
four TO one. and as a hitter is well Up
with Battling" The winner would be
the logical man TO meet the winner Of
the Britt-White fight. which takes place
