80 W.
Billy Nolan is here Just now In the
interests OF Battling Nelson, lightweight
champion OF the world. He Is intend
ing, II proper inducements show VI, to
arrange a chance for Eastern people to
see the Battler In action,
Il expect to make a match for Nelson
with Terry MoGovern," Nolan ex-
plalned. "All sorts OF stories have gone
ahead OF me throughout the country,
but here 10 what ] intend TO do In a
nutshell;
First, II we are given the right sort
Of Inducements. Nelson will fRht Terry
McGovern. Twenty rounds would suit
US best, but six may do. Nelson isn't
q six-round fighter, but he can 20 fast
enough at that.
III we make the match for a six
round bout the house must seat at least
5000. I won't demand a guarantee, be-
cause ! know that this fight will be a
great drawing card, and with enough
seats | an satisfied that there won't be
less than 10000 In the house, and Il
may ngurs away above that. l must
be shown seating capacity, and that
there will be no bitches in pulling on
the fight.
Then I will take Nelson right out OF
the show and put him into training
He will be here in two weeks. II the
match Is made he will train as hard as
he did for tae Britt reht. We know
hsw dangerous McGovern's wallop is'
and we don't intend to be careless
Nelson will lay of and rest for one
week, then put in two weeks more OF
hard work"
Then you have some respect for Nc

Nelson a Wonder.
Nolan smiled pleasantly. Yes; l
know that Terry can hit harder than
any of them, possibly excepting Young
corbett at his best. He might knock
Nelson down. But this Nelson is the
greatest nghter in the world. When ne
fought Young Corbett the FIRST time
saw Corbett haul OF and swim one
right from his knees. 1t landed on
Nelson's jaw clean as a whistle
81 tell you that was a wallop' /
thought oh Lord It's all of now
What do you suppose Nelson did? why
he Just shook the hair out Of his eyes
and knocked Corbett fat on his back
with that left-hand hook OF his. You
know he has a broken bone In his left
elbow. He can't put a pin In his lie
With that hand. But can't he hit VITA
It!
"NcGovern may hit hard enough to
put Bat down. but you'll see him up
again quick enough. They say any
man can be knocked out, guess It's
true. But I'm perfectly willing to take
q chance on Nelson no matter who he
aghts. They won't finish n counts
on him yet a while. ,
