It is not fair to the Shelby people
to compare their match with the
Gans-Nelson fight at Goldfield. Their
fight had to be ten times as good to
get an even break.
Those who have made fun Of the
Shelby scrap apparently did not con-
slider the purse. The promoters of
the Shelby event offered 100000 as
against $4,000 offered at Goldfeld.
The $4,000 makes quite a differ
ence. The promoters showed more
gameness than judgment.
Otherwise II Was All Right.
In brief, the Shelby people didn't
have a good card, the town didn't
have enough population and the pro-
motors offered entirely too much

cess from the start.
