and while he probably is not as good
as in his palmy days, it is a difficult
task to dope out just where the Dane
figures with the present crop of light
weights and whether there are any of
them left that can take his number
LA GRAVE is wELTERWEIGHT
In reviewing Nelson's last fight it
must be considered that ~the former
lightweight champion was stacked up
aginst a fellow who was in another
division La Grave has no business
among the lightweights and he would
be a useless fighting tool If he ever
made the weight On the night that
he fought Nelson he was a big felloW
who had all his strength. The French
man knows a bit about boxing ana
while he is not a champion by any
means, he would give any lghtWelshl
in the business lot of trouble trying
to beat him in Is rounds.

the advantage in weight. He Will en-
ter the ring weighing, several pounds
more than the Briton, but Moran pe-
lieves that his superior cleverness ana
the fact that he has youth in his favor
will offset this handicap of weight
The Britisher is a finished boxer, VINO
knows every angle of the game, ana ne
is in his prime. Now he has never
stacked up against a fighter of Mel
sons type. The Battler undoubtedly
will make the fighting from the time
the gong Is sounded until the hnlsh.
VIII Moran be able to offset this fight
ing machine in perpetual motion? That
is what the fans are asking.
NELSON HAS ONE STYLE
Nelson has one style and he can fight
no other way He is a hard man to

Moran is finished ring tactician.
who knows every move of the game
He is a boxer who has mastered the
finer points and he is able to deliver a
blow which can finish battle. He
seems to be confident that he will ac-
complish something that no fighter
ever before has succeeded in doing, and
that is to lay the Battler on his back
for the count of 10.
Reports from both camps are that
the fighters are in prime shape and
that they will have no excuses to offer
in regard to condition. Nelson has
worked harder for this enga cement
than he has for any fight since he lost
his crown to Ad Wolgast. He realizes
that Moran is a boxer of more than
ordinary ability and that he has a big
job on his hands to defeat the Briton.

ENDS HIS ROAD WORK
According TO the training plans
mapped out, Nelson did his last work
on the road Yesterday. He feels fit and
does not want any more liking over
