for December Show

Promoter Louis Slot made the star
ting announcements last night that he
had matched Battling Nelson and Ad
NTolEast for 2 90 round contest for the
lightweight championship of the world
- his open air arena on December q.
When Blot made this announcement
Nelson was with him. the Battler 60
inE on record IS saying that il Blot
ma kes good the guarantee he has
promised him tho match Is made so far
IS he is concerned.
Blot flashed wire from Wolgast
from Cadillac. Mich Wolgast informs
6lor that he viii meet Nelson in De
Cen-ber II he is guaranteed $500 with
2 privilege of 80 per cent Of the house.
Blot did not let little thing like that
stand in his way He Immediately
wired Woleast that those terms We're
acceptable and to consider himself
matched with the man whom he re-
lieveG Of tire lightweight crown over in
Richmond last February
This does sound rather strange,
coming. as it does. directly upon the
heels OF the announcement that VOL
Easr can n0t possibly engage in n box
ing contest before next February. It
rs well known that Woigast's broken
arm is far from being healed. and If
he can engage in q 20 round contest
IN six weeks from now he viii be
Epringing a great surprise.
It's merely financial question with
Nelson. Though he refused 70 divulge
the amount which Blot offered him.
shat end of the purse must be nearly
ae fat. if NOT quite rs fat. as the one
which Wolgast gets for his bit. Any
lire that Nelson agrees 10 take a man
on right Of the reel. as he did in the
case Of Wolgast it's goldpieces TO pea
nuts that he has been induced with A
very liberal cash guarantee.
Blot SAYS that he is willing to gam
BE on the Wea ther on Decem Der -. and
that the show VIII be pulled OF in his
arena at Eighth and Howard streets
Blot is all confidence and, according to
The way he talks the match is assured
bevoud The question OF A doubt
However. December is long way of
and many things are liable 10 happen
I'm the meantime. For the good Of the
game all the fans should get in and

Nelson is stiu hirting with Jim
CoTroth and Conroth is still flirting
with Nelson relative TO the matching
of the Battler and owen Moran here
this month They had another long
conference yesterday afternoon, but
nothing definite wss agreed upon.
There is still p difference Of $500 be-
tween them and tIl this is straight

However. 81 looks as though Conroth
and the Dane viii reach some sort Of
su agreement TO-DAY Nelson demon
strated To the public on Monday night
what a wonderful drawing card ne is
and pitted against a boxer Of Morans
ability. II looks as though they would
uul a house that would come pretty
near being a record for a couple of
years.
Sam Fitzpatrick. Anton Ia Graves

aspiring lightweight to the front with
out Joss OF time. la Grave IS very
much in the limelight after the SEN
satioral showing he made against Mel
son on Monday night. and Fitz wants
20 keep hitting the iron while il is
hot Therefore he's out with a chal-
1ence TO meet PackeE Mcfarland.
Fitzpatrick IS willing to send his boy
against rhe pride Of tbe stockyards at
any weight which the latter names
Also. the number Of rounds is optional
with Mcfarland. It looks as though
Packey would be q suitab bic opponent
for La Grave as 70 weight, for neither
OF them can do the lightweight limit
without shedding an arm or leg.
