Compliments oX no compliments the Swede realizes he must be In. condition for. Friday night's match at the Academy, the first of the thousand dollar series between him and the Kid for the -championship of the south. Hanson's compliment .to the "Dry Pond" boy is best shown by his early morning road work ' in blizzardy weather and his long hours daily in the "Y" basemen where ' he has wrestled a half dozen pbliging friends well nigh crazy. The Swede is work ing as he has not worked since the period that preceded Ms losing bouts to the "Masked .

And his training is f or no one but Ellis, the Jad he once, despised and refused to meet. ' Ellis will arrive in the city today and the remainder of the purse money, uuu, win be placed in the hands of J, T. Newman, Sr., together with the con tract governing: the match. A copy of the contract under which the men will work will be- printed prior to the first match In order that all fans may be acquainted with the conditions set forth.
