BATTLING NELSON IS DREAMING Los Angeles, Cat., Feb. 24. "I'm in great shape and a long ways from a dead one," declares Uattllng Nelson, who is scheduled to meet his old ene my, Jimmy Brltt, In a 10-round mill at the Pacific Athletic club a week v v w v THE GEORGE PALMER LUMBER COMPANY RETAIL DEPARTMENT t We Solicit Your Orders for Lumber, Lath, Shingles, Mouldings, Chain Wood from tomorrow night. The Battler In sists that he was entitled to a decision over Boer Unholz and that he could easily have beat htm In a longer go. It he had not been handicapped by be ing forced to wear "feather pillows." Nelson will get a five per cent bonus of the fighter's share of the money In his battle with Brltt. The weight will be 133 pounds at ( o'clock. "I am the same Battler that beat Jimmy Britt at Col ma on Admission day, 1905," says Nelson. ' "I have been training as hard as If I were to fight for the championship of the world, for i realize what It means ot me. "Victory will put me back to my old standing puglllstlcally, while de feat will retire me from the ring for good and all time as far as the big money Is concerned, and when the big money Is out of my line I am ready to retire. "I will beat one or two more good men shortly and it I am as successful as I feel I will, I Intend to go after the lightweight championship of the world and show the public, as well as Gans, that the decision he got over me at Qoldfleld was nothing short ol a steal. If I am ever given a chance I will make Gans quit quicker than J did before. "My ambition Is to retire the un disputed lightweight champion of th world and know that I won It fair and square, for I have never been mixed up In a crooked fight In my life." Jimmy Brltt is equally confident thai he will repeat his performance of Jul: 31 last year. In San Francisco, when he gave Nelson a terrible walloping In a 20-round bout. Brltt declares that his ulna bone Is In good repair and that he Intends to forever end the championship aspirations of Battling Nelson. .. w w w w . 7 . FORECLOSE ON CLUB (Continued from page 1.)

From Secretary Webb, who recent ly resigned, the following report It taken, and shows the carelessness o the club members In keeping thtl: dues paid up to date: At that monthly report, made a lit tie more than a week ago, there wert 111 members In good standing. Thirty-two were one month In arrears representing a sum of $40; 13 wen two months behind, a total of $29.25; six were threo months In arrears, with a total of $22.50. Four members font months behind, or $20. There won seven who were more than foul months In arrears, and this sum rep resents $57. The sum total of money? In arrears Is $179, approximately.- . If this sum was paid up to du: the current expense for lust month, would have been covered, with the ex eeptlon of a few dollars. The ex penses for the month Just ended, a." reported by the assistant secretary, was something like $198. It can read ily be seen that the full membership. If paid up every month, would more thnn carry current expenses and leave a tidy sum to apply on the debt. But It takes every effort on the part of the assistant secretary to keep a ma jority of the members in good stand ing and, though persistent, those In arrears have not been persuaded by him to pay up. Once on a good financial standing, and the revenue from the 157 mem bers coming In monthly, the club could be maintained in a flourishing condition. Open to All. Not only members of the commer cial club are wanted at the mass meeting Friday night, but every man who has the Interest of the city and tho club at heart. Krtornia are. IVimilMxl. Given the present board of directors the support which should be given, the business men who belong, but are now fighting shy of the club except for an occasional bath, will be prom ised many of those things for which iney iook. For Instance, absolute quiet In their reading room." This Is one of the principal arguments ad vanced by the anti-club element at present, but In Just five minutes that undesirable feature can be remedied, provided the financial support Is suf ficient to carry out schemes now on root ror the entertainment of the younger element which at present Is making the disturbance In the reading room. They have paid their dues, most of them, and are entitled to use of the club. As there Is no other" at traction to them at present than the reading room, they congregate there.
