BROOKLYN, N. Y, March g.
The battleship Connecticut which
is now being built under govern
ment auspices at the Brooklyn navy
yard, will probably be completed
before the sistership Louisiana, I'M

port News. 1t has been claimed all
along by the nava: constructors
that the Connecticut would be fin

attached to the rivalry between the
two ships, although the advantag e
of time will be very slight and the
comparison of cost will be difficult.

Gently Battling Nelson and Phila-
delphia Jack O'Brien the two fight
ers in whom the public is most in
terested have been busy gathering
in the dollars on the road. Nelson
has laid off to begin training.
Both are anxious to do battle,
but with a burlesque company the
money comes easy and the work
is much pleasanter than drilling
away daily in fighters camp
and then the nervous strain Is
much severer.
The posting of a forfeit by No
Ian, Nelson's manager, now assur-
es the go between the Dane and
Terrible Terry. This fight for a
short distance affair will prove
one of the most interesting ever
pulled off in this country.
Both Nelson and McGovern are

have been asked thousands of
times already who thought would
win and what chance McGovern
had to regain the title. Terry,
am afraid, is up against it again.
Nelson Is too rugged to go down
in a fight of so short a duration.
He has demonstrated that he

pugilist ever seen work in the 133-
pound class when it comes to TAX.
ing punishment.
McGovern, on the other hand, is
older and much more dissipated
than Nelson. and while he is ad-
mitted to have returned to his old
form, he is not the man that beat
Pedlar Palmer or Geo. Dixon. and
in Nelson he has a tougher nut
to crack than he had in Young
Corbett on the occasion of their
| first meeting.
Jack O'Brien, like Nelson, has a
desire to again step into the
squared circle, but is holding off
until after his theatrical engage
ments are over.
If the present plans are carried
out and O'Brien meets Tommy
Ryan then the ring fans will be
served with a pugilistic treat that

thing pulled off at the middle
weight limit in several years.
OBrien will find in Ryan a
worthy opponent who does a lot of
talking and a lot of Dragging, and
when 1t comes to action also does
lot of work.

meantime seems only problemat.

course he ought to win unless an
