sport is quoted as saying. for when
Rickard makes up his mind that he
wants thing his money is there and
we will not make serious bid for
1t.
The fact that Rickard has imposed
almost no conditions on the fighters
is considered as the best indication
In tho world that the fight will come
here ii the Battler is not afraid to
meet the chocolate colored boy from
the south.
Nolan may put up a holler on the
yesterday but if he backs down and
will not let Nelson meet Cans il will
be a sure sign that he has fears for
the safety of his fighting machine,
and Wall not risk him in the same
ring with Cans If they can be got
