in a fistic engagement. Partly reclining on a.couch In the cooling rooms of the baths, Nelson discussed his downfall. Though beaten and battered in a physical way, it was plain to be seen that the Battler's fighting spirit was as rugged as ever. "I am not going to attempt to take any of the credit of the victory away from Wolgast," said he. "He is a great little fighter the best by long odds I ever met. He showed splendid ring generalship and the way he can hit with either hand from any angle Is remarkable. "But you must remember that I held the lightweight crown for a long time. I took them as they came. In my time I met the best men in the world in that division and whipped them all. I consider that I am as good today as I ever was in my life. Believing this, it Is

only natural that I am confident I can turn the tables on Wolgast under different conditions. "For the past few years I have done a wonderful amount of work. In addition to defending my title on numerous occasions I have been constantly on the road filling theatrical engagements. Six months ago I began to feel the effects of my hard work and deter

I took off about five pounds. This is not natural for me, but I did not worry about it as I soon took on the weight again when I eased up on my training. "I am frank also to admit that I underestimated the ability of Wolgast. True, he made a splendid showing against me in Los Angeles, but at that time I was clearly out of condition and I placed no importance on his so-called victory. "All I ask now is that Wolgast give me a return battle. I will conclude my theatrical engagements and then go to my ranch in New Mexico for a long rest. I do not expect to think of flght-

uo -at. least six months. At the end of that time, however, I am going to ask Wolgast-Xsr a return fight. If he gives it to me, I will make hin. a side bet of, $5,000 or $10,000 at even money. In the meantime I am willing to see him get all the glory he can out of his title. So far a. our rn
