A SIIfGGING MATCH,

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. l9.-It took 2S
rounds Of desperate bare-knuckle slug
ging yesterday to settle grudre that
has existed for a long time between
Jimmy Britt, once champion bantum
weight Of the coast, and Frank Lawler,
another we'll known athlete whose do
ings in the fistic arena have made him
quite prominent. The first three
rounds consisted OF hot give-and-take
work, with the result that both men
showed symptoms Of distress when the
fourth round was called. From the
fifth to the 18th, however, the fight
ing was fast with honors about even.
They took things easier until the Goth
round, when another fierce rally near
ly resulted In Britt going out from q
right.hand swing that landed on his
neck. He recovered in the next round,
and from that TO the 2Sth round he had
shade the best Of the argument, Law
Ter being nearly exhausted. As there
seemed to be little chance Of finish,
and both men were terribly punished,
the referee called the match draw.
