Ginger Ketcel, of Staten Island, in
a second eight. Nelson has partici-
pated in four fights In this country,

as boxers who can take and give
plenty of punishment. The Dane

before either of these men will go
down, and If the boy managed by
Frank Clemens continues his knock
out streak, he will be made in this
state and on Staten Island. Nelson
has started training for the bout
at the Pioneer Club, Goodwin street.
Welter Champion
BUD Spratley, of Sea Bright, COL
ored welterweight champion of New

travelling at a sensational pace at the
present time. Spratley has met and
defeated some of the boxers in the
welterweight division during the pm
several years, and the Newark boy
also has been coming along nicely.
