his life. Welsh said that he Is on his
way to New York, where he will post
a forfeit Of 5000 to fight Nelson at
the latter's terms. He has been trying
to. drive Bat into a scrap for some
time. but the champion so far has steered

Welsh is twenty-three years old and

Welsh has appeared in sixty-odd battles
and has been defeated twice. once to
Charley Neary in ten rounds in Milwau-
kee and to Packy Mcfarland in the same
place. Welsh says Milwaukee is his hoo

afterward in Los Angeles. Packy can't
make the weight any more and is really
out Of Welsh's class.
