BATTLING NELSON TO fight McFarlandM \ \ U.KK 11R1TT DKCI.AIiKS C'll \lt; K ( III* %lt;iO 1*1 lt;; III %N€ K ATC H VMFIONSIIIP. |Chicago, Oct. '29.—WIUus Britt, of Sun Francisco, manager of Light weight ' Champion Battling Nelson, stopped off | in Chicago for a few hours yesterday afternoon on route from New York to the coast, and set at rest all doubt as to the pugilistic plans of the Dane.“The rumors of Nelson lighting McFarland six rounds in the east or of 1 meeting Johnny Thompson at tills place ! or that are all wrong, said llritt. : Nelson has only two fights in view, I and neither of these is likely to cornel off soon. One of these battles is to be with Packev McFarland, for Nelson will give the Chicago boy a crack at the title.“Negotiations for a tight between the Dane and McFarland have not even ! been started, but I can say the battle* will come off about New Year’s, for Nelson is not going to enter the ring for a battle before the first of the new ! year. As for the other tight, if it is arranged it will some at some later date.” .‘y^Britt, who has been in the east with Nelson, incidentally said that there was no chance of Nelson crossing the water to Kngland to engage in sparring exhibitions with Jimmy Britt, who is now on British soil.
