~ ATTLING NELSON is going to
n fight again, provided that he
can induce some kind hearted
promoter to sign him for bout with
one Of the members OF the light
weight brigade It Is reported that a
Milwaukee boxing club is eager TO
match the Durable Dane" with Ad
Wolgast for a ten-round whirl TO take
place next month.
Since losing the lightweight cham
pionship to Wolgast at Point Rich
mond on February o. 1910, Nelson
has retired from the ring scores OF
times only to don the padded gloves
again whenever promoter APP

the rustling Of hundred dollar bills.
Nelson Should Retire.
Nelson's friends have tried in vain
TO persuade him to retire to private
life. They realize that he is injuring
his health by boxing Dir, Reese, the
famous bonesetter, declared recently
after examining the former prince OF
the 1873 Founders, that he should be
called Battered" instead OF Battling.
When Nelson was in his prime he

Of his almost superhuman strength
and wonderful gameness. bat" was
never a classy boxer and could not
punch hard. but, nevertheless, defeat
ed some Of the craftiest glove wielders
and some Of the hardest punChers the
lightweight division has produced. He
wore down his opponents by his ag
gressive tactics and bulldog-like
fighting spirit.
No matter how hard and how often
Nelson was hit, he always kept boring
In. He would never falter for a sin
gle minute. Consequently. he tired
out his opponents and caused them to
become discouraged. The result was
that the Dane ultimately landed
dream wallop.
"Bat" Worth 100000.
