his that could not make the weight without
cutting off leg. He hoped. by making me
weigh in three times the day of the battle,
to so weaken me that I would not be in shape
to, Withstand Nelson's rushes and roughing.
When he learned that I below weight

against it, and now he is trying every move
to break up the fight.
AFTER agreeing to an 1s-foot ring, to his
selection Of n referee, to the article prevent

to very other condition he could, think of to
make me withdraw from the match, he is now
looking for some loophole to crawl out of with
