Boy Against the Dane.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 11.-Jimmy
Coffroth is far from thinking Nelson Is
impervious to a knockout punch, and
declares he is willing to bet $500 that
Willie Fitzgerald, the Brooklyn light
weight, can defeat Nelson.
1T would be hard to pick lightweight
who would have a better chance to Knock
out Nelson than this same boy Fitz-
gerald. He has punch that would do
for Nelson. did not think SO three or
four days before the fight, but the NASH
ing that tn> Dane got from Cans viii
not do him any good. Before that fight
Nelson thought no man could hurt him
with a punch. Cans demonstrated the
weakness Of Nelson's. position, and the
Dane at last has realized he can be hurt.
IF Fitzgerald was to fight Nelson I
am satisfied Batter would be licked, and
licked decisively."
Dick Hyland and Eddie Hanlon have
signed to meet for twenty rounds before
