Battling Nelson is now on the way Bast, On the 22d he is to fight Willfe Lowis In Philadetphia, Nelson {s one of the grontest “drawing cards” in tho ring, tu spite of the fact that he has been once dofeated by Jimmy Britt. He is a popular fizhter, because he always fights to win, aud every time he goes into a ring he is like John Hay’s Missiasipp! steanbasé, “With a nigger a-squat on her safety valve,” Nelson can bo depended @m& Fle won't fake and he won't turn his bout into an exhibition. KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT. He {s an ignorant youngster, taken all around, but he knows one thing thoroughly, In the science of fighting he holds a master’s degree, Probably Battling Nelson (Battling is his real given name, by the way) is unaware of the difference between an ohm and a Latin prefix, but no little gentleman who ever met him with gloves on found cause to doubt his learning @tong the line of hooks and uppercuts. Nelson started his fighting career in true melodramatte style. He longed to raise the mortgage on the old homestead. His firet few ventures didn’t interfere with the mortgage matorially, but you can't keep down # man whose very neme fits him for the profession of flaticufta, FOUG"'T HIS WAY UP. \ Batti: 5 Nelson fought bis way up. He knocked out the mortgage, incl- dentaily, in:mediately after disposing of Young Corbett the first time In San Francisco. Soon after that battle he fought Britt and lost. That there was something left in the stocking, In spite of the mortgage and his side bets, was shown when Nelson’s manager took a vacation accompanied by $10,000 of Battling Nelaon’s ready cash, ButtIng is rematehed with Britt. This scrappy pair will fight it out in July or August In ‘Frisco, Meanwhile Nelson will take a junketing trip to Philadelphia, where he will meet Lewis and probably two other Iight-weights later. LEWIS IS CONFIDENT. Lewis says he will knock Neleon out. In that case, of course, Lowls would receive a hurry call from ‘Frisco and would be mutched with foxy Jimmy Britt, to whom all sluggersa look alike, Lewis says tho prospect luoka so good ft makes him dizzy, But thero’s many a slip ‘twiat the punch and the tip, Willie may find Nelson's chin point and learn what many others have learned: that the Battler’s neryes are well insulated, W little direct dope there 18 favors Lewis, Nelson took elghteen Lewis accomplished the feat in half the time. -But, leaving out all discussion of the finish, this bout will draw. It is the Great Dane's first appearance east of Chicago, and astern sporting men ave eager to see the tough youngster who twice knocked out Young Corbett in less than ten full rounds, YALE KEEPS MURPHY.
