JIM CORBETT WRITES
ON CANS and NELSON

Is among the greatest the world has
over seen in this respect he is ranRy
and Hhifiy ON his feet end a hard man

counter that have every reason 20
remember iuat what portion oi an
this advantage viii be cut down by
his Increase in age and the wear and
tear on bis nervous and physical
makeup by the life BE- has led for the
past few years Is only 20 the realm o.
guess
Well. g Cans has an this, where
does Nelson come inG Let rs see The
Dane has been coming for tho past
two years. or ever since he started.
I IL you care CD 20 nack that far

I lived az amy sensible man should when
not ln training. and has constantly IN
creased ia strength, until today IN
actual physical powers he De- q better
man than Cans. And ne a. always
able 90 retain this advantage 10 Is
one Of the coolest propositions the
{ hghting world has ever seen. You
can DO what you want 10 him and say
what you Ike Ia the rims, bat Nelson
remains the same lndomltahlo bunch
OF rush and punch Ton wallops that
win rock his head 20 right and left
and 90 the back will not stop or rat

the same from Nelson there will be-
a display Of pyrolechnlcs at once
I n Nelson should miss a half dozel
blows in succession he keeps right
on u never hothers him. Z think he
ls the superior Of any other fighter
the world has ever known On this re-
spoct II Cans should miss Nelson
several times ln succession look out

pace really became munoionoua 20 the
spectators. He never gave up a Sec

makes no more inroad on his emotions

are held high ana bis arms we'll out.
while his head II low and crouched

opposite Of this and Il looks as II was
So the Danes advantage. Cans Will
/ have 10 DO the leading while the Dane
Keeps boxing ir. and the counter al
ways comes from the Dane with a
little extra force and he sometimes
sends ia two punches for good meas
uro. There probably never was a
Z aghter who could use his head arms
and body 90 such wonderful advantage
when ia close TO his opponent. Ask
Jimmy Britt whether he would sooner
DC hit hy Nelson than land a swing
on the Danes tow-thached head
Cans may givc you the same answer
when che nght Is over, regardless of
/ how ID goes
I Los one blow starr Cans down Queer
street ana see what wonderful re-
Cooperative and reserve power the
Dane can call into use. But with ali
thlh Cans ia condition would stop a
TOT of the Danes rushos with the blow
I thar he Is noted for and bis cleyerness
would cause the Dane more worry
than he has ever been up as Inst be-
fore. even Concoding he has Increased

II the contest resolves Itself into
a give AVID take affair with the men

mombcrod, and Goldaelds will be IA
for one Of the biggest dlsappolntments
In the annals Of the fight game. Both
men. realizing that the outcome will
have no effect on the purse, may
shirk the terrific hammorlng that So
sure 20 be INDUCED IN with these two
great lighters Of their best. lined up
against each other.
With Cans AZ his best, mean In
the shape he was IA when hO won
the worlds championship. he will win.
How he wlll be able 20 set that way
someone else. with a better imagina-
tlon or insight VIII have 10 tell with
Nelson IN the shape be ought 70 be
In, and with the fight on the square
he should win In less time than n
