BATTLING NELSON'S
STRENUOUS STRUGGLE

Time brings about changes I'm all
walks of life and boxers, as a rule. have
some very rapid changes Battling
Nelson, the lightweight champion. had
some wonderful changes in his line
during the past 10 years. in fact, Bats
experiences at times We're very much
ike some Of the heroes in Golfers
Weekly Now just imagine a young
fellow without a penny in bis pocket
not even enough to train on, with
good fight in prospect. and six years
later able TO sign his check for $780, 900.
Well. that about tells the financial his
tory of the Battler during a period of
six years from early In 1904 till the
present time.
1t was in 1905 that Battling Nelson
was fighting around Milwaukee but
only in bouts of second-class and In
the semi-finals. 1t was on Jan. 16. 1904
that he defeated Art Simms by the
knock out route. but Art was consid-
cred pretty much all in and the Battler
did not get full credit for his work
Right after that the Badger club of
Milwaukee was slipped up on a bout
and then the matchmaker decided TO
see how the Battler would draw against
a good man.
Jack O'Neil of Philadelphia at that
time was a strong card in the east and
he was secured as Bats opponent. Aft
er the match was made. Nelson came
to the writer and said: Gee. I've got
to get that fight because / need the
money to help pay off a debt on our
home at Hegewisch and I must have
some to train on" Well, the Battler
borrowed $40 or SIS and got in good
shape for the fight He defeated
ONeill in a splendid bout and that
was the beginning of his famous march
through the west to the championship.
Teddy Murphy, the boy manager. had
the Battler in tow and his advancement
after that is we'll known.
Bat did not forget to repay the loan
and he remarked at that time that he
had enough left to send to his mother.
Bat had the right idea and he has kept
pretty close to that path ever since.
1t was a pretty good jump-from bor-
rowing $40 to having $100. 0.0o0-but that
Is what the husky Battler has done
and he is still on the road to q great
deal more. Only the other day in New
York Nelson offered to put up purse
of ss5O00 for Jcffries and Johnson to
fight for and to deposit $4,000 cash at
once. That is surely going some for
a boy who was dead broke in 1904.
