NELSON AGREES /
TO TALK MATCH
WIRES BARON LONG TO WAIT
UNTIL MARCH
SAYS ALL HIS TIME is TAKEN
FOR FEBRUARY
Lightweight Champion Practically
Consents to Give Freddie Welsh
Chance at His Title Two
Months Hence


There is an excellent prospect that
Battling Nelson. lightweight champion
of the world, will accept the challenge
of Freddie Welsh for scrap for the
title within a few weeks, but it will not
be possible to arrange the match be-
fore. March. In telegram last night
to. the Jeffries Athletic club Nelson
said: ''Win consider match in March.
February time all taken. Wire Britt
in San Francisco. He will be in Los
Angeles in three weeks" The telegram
was sent from Huntington, w. Va,
and was in reply to a query by the
club as to whether he would consider a
match with Welsh.
Baron Long was much elated last
night at the favorable turn in affairs,
and now expects to land the big scrap
for the Vernon club. It is match that
the fans have been asking for, and
since the little English champion has
so decisively whipped every rival-ex-
cept Packy McFarland-who stands in
his pathway to the champion, he has
become recognized as the natural con-
tender for the honors. Nelson has said
repeatedly that he considers Welsh en-
titled to first chance at the title, as he
has proved beyond doubt that he is the
best lightweight in the near-champion-
ship ranks today. ... -sc-

the public because Of the high weights
allotted to the various starters and be-
cause these high weights render form
rather uncertain. Pal, which had been
so consistent in winning recently, was
well liked, but he showed marked
dislike for high weight by running
slowly until turning for home, when
he set out to catch Reformation, the
good thing that had raced everything
else dizzy in the first half mile and was
running away through the stretch.
Reformation had taken up such a big
lead that he had an easy task ahead of
him to win, and he romped under the
wire three lengths ahead of Pal, which
came from seventh place to second at
the wire. Merrill, a grand weight car
rier for a platter, stuck on gamely In
third place all the way and beat Nc
Chord four lengths for the show money.
Schilling got Mary +. away amazingly
bad and she never was contender, de-
spite her well known high speed.
A dense fog settled down over the
track before the first race started, and
1t was difficult to distinguish the horses
until they turned into the stretch. At
all other times colors and numbers
failed to be recognized even through
strong glasses, and the official caller
had the most strenuous experience of
his lifetime. 4 Fl
