''BattIing'' Nelson
Aspires to Be Racer

The latest aspirant for honors as an
automobile racing driver is Battling
Nelson. erstwhile lightweight pugilistio
champion Of the world. Bat" has been
innoculated with the racing germ and
when he winds up his career in the ring
it IS likely he will take up the hazardous
game Of plotting q high-powered racing
car.
His intentions have become so sincere
that recently he visited the Case auto
mobile factory In Racine. Wis. to look
over their speed creations which Louis
Disbrow and a number Of other speed
merchants" will campaign this year in
various events
Bat" took the Case go racer out on
the slippery pavements of Racine, and
il credited with doing a mile a. the rate
OF one hundred miles an hour. As he
stepped from the car he remarked: II
guess this automobile racing is Just the
thing tina: / am after. II I'can get a
drivers license from the Three AS, it's
me for the track" Incidentally. one OF
his wedding gifts to his bride was a
Case go touring car.
The entry Of Nelson as an automobile
racer will be watched by all followers
Of sport In this country and abroad, be-
cause there Is no one better known in
the pugilistic world than the mayor Of
Hegewisch.
