the reason that the men have not yet be-

The scrimmage yesterday lasted about
ten minutes. During that period the mer

standing the fact that they were told ia
take things easy for awhile. There are
several who worked on the scrubs yes

lost to make favorable impression by
any OF the players.
One of the features of the practice was
the work OF the scrubs on the offensive

fair gains. Both youngsters were fast

Battling Nelson. who held the light
weight championship of the world for
several years. is not the only Dane who
has aspired in the iistic line for the high
est honors Waldemar Holberg. a young
Dane of Copenhagen, is the latest Tor
eigner to seek the crown of Ad Wol2aSt
and win it back for the Danes. This
young Dane has been in the boxing game
for the past few years, but 1t has only
been within the past year that he has
considered his chances good enough
against the best of the British and
American lightweights. In 1898, during
the Olympic games at London. Young
Holberg met Matt Wells, the present
British lightweight champion. and held
his own in good shape. He was an anna
tically all his bouts, with the exception
Of his match with Matt Wells after
ward took up the game of boxing and
turned professional. defeating Freddy
Welsh for the championship. This prob
ably had something to do with Waldemar
taking up the professional end of the
game, for it was not long after that he
followed the example set by Wells. Hol-
berg won several good contests on the
continent against lightweights of fair
ability and recently he matched himself
against Dick Lee, whom Packey McFar-
land defeated when he was In Eng land
three years ago. He was in tine shape
and held Holberg to a draw. From all
accounts the Dane was in poor shape for
a hard bout and did not show at his best.
II he did. then lie has small chance of
ever grabbing the title away from the
Cadillac wildcat.
They do not turn out Battling Nelson's
every year, and twill be big surprise
if the Dane gets into the limelight as the
Battler did He may challenge for the
title and all that. but to win it is an
other matter. 1t will be time enough to
talk about meeting the American cham
piun after lie defeats the British title
holder. and If he succeeds in that he
will have quite bunch Of fifst-clas IS
Yanks to 20 through before tackling the
champion. But, then, we might as well
give the Dane chance, and if he can
see his way clear to cross the big pond
why. he will find a very busy season
ahead of him, starting with the New
York bunch and working west via Phla-
delphia, Boston, Pittsburgh, Kansas City.
