Declare He Will Retire Rather Than Let the Dane Dictate Conditions to Him. Battling Nelson yesterday outlined the conditions under which he would consent to fight again for the lightweight championship of the world, but the terms named by the Dane did not meet with the approval of Packey McFarland, who declared that he would prefer to retire from the boxing game to being dictated to by the champion. Larney Lichtenstein, manager of Cyclone Johnny Thompson, started the little entanglement by offering to match his man against Nelson and allow the champion to have the entire purse. The Dane replied that he would not box any man under such conditions, but that he would consent to meet the winner of a
