BAT NELSON WEARS
OUT JACK REDMOND
IN TWENTY. ROUNDS
St. Paul Boxer Hanging on
When the Bout
Ends.

NEW ORLEANs, Jan. L-osoar Bat
Ting Nelson, former lightweight cham
pion OF the world, Is tho hero Of New
Orleans today, having outfought Jack
Redmond, the promising st. Paul Boxer,
In their 20-round bout here yesterday.
At the close OF the mill Redmond was
hanging on and trying in vain to es-
cape the shower OF jabs and swings that
Nelson was showering upon him. Nell
son easily gained the decision.
The former title-holder started slowly
and for nine rounds was the target for
all kinds of blows at the hands Of his
younger opponent. Redmond walked
around Nelson, having no difficulty In
avoiding his blows, and sent in jabs
and jolts that almost invariably found
their mark. But In the tenth round
Nelson awoke from his slumber and
after that 1t was all over for Redmond
Many experts said that in thirty rounds
Nelson would have knocked out the lad
who beat up Wolgast SO numerically q
little more than year ago.
Nelson started for Redmond's stom-
ach. He shot In terrific pile-drivtng
blows to that section Of Redmond 8
anatomy and soon had him too weak
to fight back. Both boxers clinched
frequently, Nelson gaining the most
from the rough work. In the last round
Redmond rallied for a moment, but had
to clinch to save himself from being
knocked out by the wild-rushing Nelson.

JOHNSON MAY SIGN
TODAY FOR BATTLE
WITH jim FLYNN
Plan to Hold Bout in Salt
Lake City in
July.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-Jack johnson
went to the mat last night with Jack
Curley in a long drawn out battle over
terms to govern a proposed battle be-
tween the heavyweight champion and
Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman. After
s2arring. countering, and a lot of stin
infghting. the debating parties called
a draw until today, with every indica-
tion favoring the match for Salt Lake
City during the month of July.
Acting as representative Of a syndi-
cate Of Salt Lake sporting men who are
bent on putting on the battle. Curley
swooped down upon the johnson home
stead with two tempting offers. In one
bid Flynn's manager agreed to give
johnson his price-S30, ,000-to sign, pro-
vidihe the champion valves his right to
the moving pictures.
In his second offer Curley assured
Johnson of an out and olt bait amount
ing to $4,000 with cut Of the picture
coin. Here the argument arose. Johp-
son holding out for $S0.0C0 plus the
picture money. It looks, however, as II
tho match will be closed today.
Curley sees a great chance to held the
battle in Salt Lake, and particularly
during the month of July, owing to the
number Of big conventions to be staged
there during that month. July "a. which
is Mormon Day. Is not available, owing
to the fact that the fight would corr
flict with the annual church meeting Of
the Mormons, but q day or two earlier
or perhaps later would not be amiss,
according to Curley. ..-
Johnson is keen for accepting the at
traction. having met Flynn before and
with victory for his end after eleven
rounds of fierce fighting. The champion
admitted last night he probably would
chances on the pictures, believing this
end Of the match would net him a
pretty sum, owing TO the well-known.
