ciSOf this week ana boxing l"vtrs all
over the country will patiently wait
to hc;.. the results on each. TWO oi
| them will come on the same night,
Tuesday, and The other on "Wednesday.
/ Besides there are several other lmpor-
tant ring battles.
TO the local dnvotees of the roped
square the most important is the bout
between Jimmy Walsh and Albcr;
belmont tomorrow. II is the main bout
at the swell -AImDry y. a, and there Is
sure 10 he Il big outpourlng Of mem
berS who can positively assure them
| selves that barring accidents tie bnnt
which has been pending for years viii
take place. The news is almost too
I good to be true. I:ut the announce
ncnt is authentic and may b. banked
on.
| There has been q lot Of gossip around
town that Walsh weighs only lis
pounds and finds it impossible to build
mp. Then also there is more converse
ton that Jimmy agreed to make 40
pounds for Il bout with Johnny tOlllotI
for one Of the california clubs, but in
T ttSIIIlllll 'tN oli!'li llst'' tti Il'ill
4 Pacifi- coast there can be little foun-
! datiom for such Il report
Tuesday night also Abe A.tell will
meet BATTLING Nelson. They ,trr schcd-
ulcd for ID rounds at San FranciScn.
In Il short bout there would be nothing
to it but the ftatherWeight champion.
But ~ y rounds there may be Il
different story to tell. The fact that
they ar" matched is probably the result
Of hickciing of the training camp when
he was conditioning for the bout with
owen Moran. 1t Will be remembered
that Nelson helped Attell. They met ir
Il SiX-rOund bout not quite three years
ago at Philadelphia, and Att"ll made
the Dane look foolish. But while he
may do tn" same thing for six rounds
and even ten rounds, he may get just a
bit careless. ana he wants to watch out
for Goblin Nelson will surely catch him
if he doesn't. Nelson is not a bit clevc!
but he can take 4 lot of punching.
