Dat SURE He CAN
WIN BACK TITLE
Former Champ Says He Didn't
Prepare for Fight with
Ad WoIgaSt

NEW YORK, May 21.-Oscar Mat
thew Battling Nelson, the former
lightweight champion, continues to
talk of his loss of the title to Ad VOL
CAST OF Milwaukee. Nelson states
that he is not "all in," as many think,
and that he is still the same game
little fighter the sporting word knew
so well. AS is to be expected he wants
another chance at Wolgast.
The following are PARTS of Nelson's
opinions regarding his fitness and
ability to win back the lightweight
championship:
II made my mistake when I fought
Wolgast. But it is one 1 will never
make again. You see, | underestimate
ed Wolgast and did not prepare for
him the way l should II was a case
of his catching me off my guard. VOL
CAST says that l viii be the first man
to get a chance at him. Well, I'm
glad of that. l can defeat him this
time, l am sure.
There are a whole lot of persons in
this country who would not care to
bet on my chances to win back the
lightweight championship. They're
the ones l am going to fool. They
think that [ have Joined the down
and-outers. l am not satisfied with
that fight with Wolgast. He must
knock me out before he is really the
champion. WolgasL can't go the long
route again, and that is how 1 am
going to win back the title. Had
fought harder than l did during the
early part of our lest fight Wolgast
would never have been able to go as
long as he did.
Another thing is that champion
ought to be soundly licked before they
take his title away from him. If VOL
gast had put me out l wouldn't have
had a word to say. He chopped me
good DEAL but it wasn't a circum-
Goldfield. Now Wolgast never put
me down once during that whole fight
He was down twice. l was bad at the
finish and 1 was tired, but / was STALL
ing along, trying to save something
for a strong finish, and you can bet
your life that any time they get Bat
Nelson tired the other fellows tired
too. They stopped it, I'm not criti-
cising the referee. | haven't opened
my mouth about that, only-well, l put
many a game fellow away, and before
I'm done somebody ought to put me
away Do you get me? 1 couldn't
claim that I won that fight; l couldn't
so as far as to claim a draw; but 1
do say that as long as l can get up
there and waggle my hands l want
the fight to go on
Nelson went on to state that the
fact of losing the lightweight cham
pionship has not hurt his popularity
any. Since the Wolgast bout Nelson
said he has cleared over $4,000. Ac-
cording to Nelson, Wolgast has made
but $6000

JOHNSON TOO LAZY, IS
OPINION OF FIGHT FANS
Big Dinge Resents Criticism Of
Methods and Says There's
Lots of Time

SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-Jack
Johnsons lesurely methods of train
ing have already commenced to cause
considerable comment among the
sporting fraternity, and unless the big
smoke gets down to the real business
of conditioning himself very shortly
he viii be the target for world of
criticism.
While it has been generally under.
stood that Johnson has been taking
matters easy, it was not brought to
public attention until this afternoon,
when the fans" discovered that the
doors of the big pavilion were closed
and that Johnson would do no boxing.
Instead of working in the gym three
times a week he has cut it down to
two, with the promise that next week
or the week after he will be boxing in
real earnest.
Whether it is just because Johnson
likes lazy life is not known, but
there is a rumor around his quarters
that he discovered his weight was
dropping away too fast and that he
was fearful lest he might go stale
before the Fourth of July.
81 am going to train just az suits
myself and not the public" declared
Johnson somewhat angrily, when
questioned why he did not go into the
gymnasium.
AS L SAID when | first came to CALI
fornia, no one in the wide world is
going to dictate the amount of work
that is done except Jack Johnson. l
have always attended to my own
training and am too old to let the
public disturb me. 1 didn't go into
the gym today simply because 1 did
not need the work. With as much
time ahead of me l would be fool to
knuckle down to boxing. | would be
sure to go into the ring stale, and l
want to be right for Jeffries.
"Ordinarily 1 box three or four
weeks for a fight, and as l will work
right up to July you can see for
yourself that there will be enough
time. 1 could easily have postponed
my work until the first of June. AS
soon as l am good and ready l will
box four times a week. but that is ALL
'It was the same old story on the
road this morning, declared one of
Johnson's handlers as he returned to
camp tagging behind the big dinge.
Jack is in great shape for road work,
and he sprints a lot nowadays"
Johnson went over the same course
that he has been using. In the after
noon he took his automobile for ride
1t is expected that Sunday will be
another day at the pavilion. Johnson
will box nine rounds, according to his
present plans

AMERICAS CUP IS
TEMPTING A DUKE
Sutherland Reported Anxious for
Try at the Famous Yacht
ing Prize
KINGS DEATH MAY INTERFERE
Hoped That Great Race Will Take
Place During the Sum-
mer of 1911

NEW YORK, May 21.-Although no
lfficial information could be obtained
vt the New York Yacht club, ii Is gem
rally understood that a challenge for
he Americas cup will be received from
he duke of Sutherland, the contest to
se arranged for the summer of 1911.
As to whether or not the death of King
Edward will temporarily put a halt to
my such plans in England is a matter
II conjecture, and there is no evidence
Sne way or the other on which to predt-
cate a fixed belief.
When the first announcement was
made, a few weeks ago, that the duke
If Sutherland intended to try to lift
ne Americas cup the news was re-
,eived by yachtsmen generally with
considerably more acclaim and enthus-
asm than any similar statement during
he last few years. The duke of Suth-
srland is we'll known in English and
continental yacht racing circles, and II
s believed that his challenge, If it
really materializes, will not be sur
rounded with any difficulties
Many yachtsmen on this side of the
Atlantic are taking the report of the
iuke's intention quite seriously. Moth
ng has been said so far as to the type
Df craft or as to any changes in the
measurement rules, the last named be-
ng q great bogy with Sir Thomas
Upton, who sought to have them
amended considerably.
There seems to be no likelihood that
The New York Yacht club, holder of the
Americas cup, will agree to any such
changes in the near future. But 1t Is
aot believed-the opinion being based
Oh statements attributed to the duke
If Sutherland-that this condition will
IN any way interfere with the much
hoped for contest if the duke finally
1oes decide to go after the great tro-
ply.
Just when the formal challenge will
oe received is a matter of guesswork
at the present time, and the kings
death has added greatly to this conjec-
tural condition. 1t seems probable,
however. that before the snow flies
again the New York Yacht club will
nave been apprised of the dukes inten-
ton. and will have signified its willing
ness to accept the challenge If it is
formally made.
