half are Joe Jeanette. Jim FLYNN,
Frank Klaus. Eddie McGoorty, Al
Palzer, Abe Atteu Ad Wolgast,
Packey Mcfarland, Harlem Tommy

and Johnny Kilbane.
1t can readily be seen that with

ers of the various boxing Centers
in the United States would have to
make overtures to Bob Fitzsim-
mons, Tom Sharkey, Peter Maher,
Battling Nelson and few others
or else go out of business.
Kelly says that men of the light
weight division do not have to hold
themselves down to 1873 pounds in
Australia, as the weight limit of
the class named in that country is
lao pounds. This Is somewhat of
an intimation that Hughie Niche
gan, the lightweight champion of
Australia is heavier than the Amer
lean scale would permit. But
what is lost in one direction is
gained in another. for fellows like
PackeY Mcfarland would be able
to till the Australian requirements
with pounds to spare.
1t is learned from McIntosh's

"HOPE DESTROYER"
WHO REALLY LOOKS GOOD

CHICAGO. Sept 1S.-Another white
hope destroyer looms up on the pugilistic
horizon. He is Art Nelson, of Wyeville,
Wis, woodchopper in that section of the
country. In stature he is almost a giant,
standing feet and II inches in his stock
ing feet He is built like a Frank Gotch,
but weighs only 1870 pounds. Charles La
vine discovered the yOungster, he being
but % years of age, when LaVine took
Jumbo Wells up to Bangor. Wis. as Art S
opponent Wells looked like a pretty good
hope at that time and was in grand con-
dition when the pair spared off in the
opening round Almost from the tap of
the gong it could be seen that Nelson
was some hope, and after hammering
Wells almost out of shape he crossed a
right over in the sixth round that spelled
knockout
He was matched to go against John
Willie, but the sheriff halted the go Mel
consn towns, Frank Ryan and Jack Par
res being some of them men who felt the
sting of his lunches. He put Ryan away
in six rounds and beat him so badly that
Frank changed his fighting name to Frank
Kline. Nelson is all muscle and bone. but
unlike many of the hopes, his muscle is
useful in that he is not muscle bound
in giving the wallop and warding ii off
He has god foot action and for a big
fellow steps around rather lively. He is a
straight punCher and doesn't waste many
LaVine is anxious to get Ned Carpenter
the Burlington hope in the ring and will
secure club for the pair If Carpenter
will consent to a match. \ few more

THICAGO, Sept. 1S.-Ad VOL
CAST and Tom Jones are in a
fine predicament. The cham
pion is aging bit as a fighter,
and wants to make his money rap
Idly now. And there is just one
boy who can weigh 1873 pounds at
the ringside, the weight the cham
pion insists on, and draw the sort
of coin Ad wants to fight for. Joe
MandOt is the lightweight we mean.
and there are those out in Los An
geles who say that Mandot is in
no great hurry to lock horns with
the champion. They figure it that
way because he asks a prohibitive
price.
Wolgast can get big money fight
ing Packey Mcfarland, Jack Brit
ton and Willie Richie, but. sad to
relate, they are all three too big for
him, and probably too good if he
lets them in heavy, as the ring
birds say. Mcfarland and VOL
CAST will draw a mint of money
anywhere, but they can't agree on
the poundage. Britton and Richie
are coming to the front with rapid
strides, and will be great cards
this winter. But Ad can't risk a
clash with one of them after that
appendicitis operation, which I'M
questionably has slowed him up
some.
Mandot spoiled the real financial
plum for Wolgast when he laced
Joe Rivers, the Mexican marvel
on Labor day. The Wolgast- Riv-
ers fight had such peculiar end
ing that half of Los Angeles be-
lieves to this day that Rivers won.
