BOXING

meet for the second time in three months at
San Francisco this evening. While Nelson

that even money will be the rule when the men
enter the ring. This is because betting men,
who have visited Corbe.t's camp during his
training, at San Rafael, call him AL entirely
new Corbett. They say be shows more than his
old-t time speed Joe Cans has taken great in
terest in getting the Denver boy into condition.

knowledge of boxing and ring tactics. Corbett
has advised all his friends to have Il bet on him.

ing quarters in regard to his weight Those
who are closest TO Nelson do not show the least
anxiety as to his ability to make 100 pounds at

strong. Nelson 5000 when he fought
Corbett before. He Is reported saying that
he Will bet that amount on himself III tonight's
fight. as he wants to make it $4,000 or nothing
IT Is evident the Dane is not worrying about
the weight question.
Every condition of the battle points to slug
ging match. with plenty of fireworks. Both men
will be well-adyised while in the ring. Corbett's
seconds will be Spider Kelly, Tim McGrath
Frank Mcdonald and probably Joe Cans. Nelson
will be seconded by Marvin Hart, Fred Landers
