Oi'inlon Is To the probable winner OIL
the fight, but 4 small majority of those
who venture predictions are of the
opinion that Nelson will come out a
winner. They are inucnced in their
opinion by the fear that Cans, in MAX
ing weight, Will have to sacrifice his
strength to such an extent that his
clIai.ceS viii be seriously jeopardiZed.
Most Of them concede that Cans is
the better man as far as cleVerneSS
and hitting power are concerned, but
they say he lacks the strength and

An interesting bout in the East is
that scheduled between Joe Thomas
and Honey Melody tonight at The Lin
coin club, Chelsea. Mass. Both men
are in good shape and it is expected the
go will he Il fast one from start to fin

and all who have seen them agree that
each is in the pink of condition, so
there is 10 doubt but what the boxing
ent husiastS at the Hub will get their
moneys worth.
The bout is scheduled to so Il rounds
and it is expected the men will both
stay the limit. one of the noticeable
things about the bout is that there are
few expressions of opinion as to the
probable winner Some men are put
ting their money up on Thomas, but
they find ready takers for what they
want to place. Few of the sporting
writers of New England have said any
thing about who would be most likely
To pull out 4 victory, which is an iGdi-
cation that the bout will be a very
lively one, between men who are so
evenly matched that an opinion is re-
%arded as more than usually hazard
