BRITT WINS
HIS BOUT
WITH BELL
The Olympic Club Light
weight Takes Only Half a
Round 10 Whip Opponent
Sam Berger Defeats Gallagher
on Points IN a Lively Match.
Many Methods Ct Boxers


James Britt, the Olympic Clubs crack
lightweight boxer, sustained his reputa-
ton last night as a hard hitter. In a
special tournament in the club gymna-
SUM he met Fred Bell and conceding him
some ten pounds in weight won cleverly
The bout was scheduled for four rounds,
but Britt brought it to an end in one min
ute and thirty seconds fighting in the
first round.
Neither man had done much work when
suddenly Britt landed a left hook on the
chin which knocked Bell unconscious. Be-
fore he commenced to fall Britt's right
hand glove caught him on the head The
force of the blow turned him around and
after he struck the padded floor there was
still enough impetus to cause him to roll
over.
s. Berger was given the decision over
Andy Gallagher, the amateur heavy
weight champion. Berger, with his long
boxing, but chose infighting instead. CAL
lagher landed frequently, but seemed to
do most of his hitting with the open
glove.
Bob Johnson and Barney Driscoll were
the first. brace of boxers in the ring
Driscoll was the aggressor, although eacn
busy, busting one The decision was
given Johnson on points, he having land
ed the most clean blows.
Louis Richards was stopped by Paul
Martin in two minutes fighting. Richards
seemed to have stage fright. His efforts
were slow and ineffective. He was
knocked to his knees and stayed down
the full ten seconds.
Frank George and Joseph Neilan came
together like pair of battering rams. If
a kinetoscope picture machine man could
transfer the action of the fight to his
films it would make his fortune. The
Judges decided in favor of George. The
fight was the one dash of comedy to re-
lieve the serious aspect Of the nights
sport.
Al Ahrens knocked Harry. Baker down
twice in the first round of their bout.
Baker was palpably out of condition.

FRIENDS HAVE
HIS BIC SECRET
Professor Wynn, Fam
Gus Among Miners,
Dies Suddenly.

DENVER, Nov. 29.-Professor c. w.
Wynn, who recently created a sensation
in mining circles by the announcement
that he had discovered a process by which
he could recover enormous gold values
from what have been regarded as low
grade ores, died tonight at st. Joseph's
Hospital of strangulated hernia.
Professor Wynn had been in poor health
for a year, but was taken with the at
tack which caused his death yesterday,
being taken to the hospital at o'clock
last night.
Little is known by the public about the
wynn process of gold extraction, and it
Is discredited by many mining men, but
the fact that Willard Teller, a brother of
United States Senator Henry M. Teller,
and eX-Judge Sidney Williams, both
prominent attorneys and capitalists of
this city, convinced of its truth, became
the financial hackers of the discoverer,
gave 1t an interest to the public.
Professor Wynn and his partners had
been arranging for the establishment of
large plant for the treatment of ores.
1t is understood that both his partners
are the possessors of his secrets and that
mis- death will not materially interfere
with their plans.
Professor Wynn was a native of Vir-
ginia and was educated at the George
town University. His profession was that
OF chemist and for the last five years
he had devoted his entire time to the de-
velopment of his gold process. He came
here from Kansas City in July last.

HEARING IN EKBERG
MURDER CASE rs BEGUN
Threats Made Against Life of Alma
Miller, Chief Witness for Pros
ecution

The preliminary examination of John
M. Riley on a charge of murder for kill
ing Otto NJ Ekberg a non-union team
ster, on Townsend street, between Ritch
and Clyde streets, November 9, was com
menced before Judge Cabaniss yesterday
afternoon.
Mrs. Alma Miller testified to seeing the
defendant strike Ekberg on the head with
a piece of pipe. She was within six feet
of him at the time and had good side
view of him. Riley kept his face turned
from her while she was testifying, but
she pointed to him as the man who struck
the fatal blow.
The, other witnesses examined were
Policeman David Koegel, who saw the
body on the sidewalk and found loaded
revolver in the deceased's pocket; VIII
liam e. Jones, secretary of the Nolan
Drayage Company who also saw the
body lying on the sidewalk, and Charles
Johnson, boy, who testified to having
had a conversation with the defendant the
day before the murder, in which Riley
remarked that he had not 'got" Ekberg
yet, but he would "get him soon" The
case was continued till Monday afternoon.
Mrs. Miller complained to Captain Sey-
mour yesterday that her life had been
threatened, supposedly by friends of the
defendant, if she testified against him. A
man called at her house Thursday night
pretending that he had a turkey for her,
but she refused to open the door. She
was assured of ample police protection.

TERRY M'GOVERN WILL CONCEDE
EVERYTHING FOR A RETURN MATCH
Offers to Knock Young Cobet Out Before the Limit Twenty
Rounds Be Reached or Forfeit the Entire Purse ~

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-In sporting cir
cles here rothing was talked Of to-day ex-
cept the defeat Of Terry McGovern by
Young Corbett yesterday in Hartford.
This afternoon Sam Harris, McGovern' S
manager, posted S2500 to bind another
match, the time and place to be at the
will of Young Corbett. In an interview
Harris said:
In order to get a return match with
Young Corbett Terry will agree to knock
him out before the limit Of twenty or
twenty-five rounds is reached or forfeit
the entire purse. If Young Corbett thinks
he is McGovern's master he will cover
the forfeit which 1 have placed in repu-
table hands. If he refuses TO do so the
public can easily see who is the better
man.
Il don't wish to take away any of the
credit due to Young Corbett over his
great victory. but 1 still insist the result
of the fight was due to a fiuke. When
McGovern was put down in the first
round his head came in contact with the
boarded floor of the ring, and this so
stunned him that he was in a daZed con-
dition thereafter. McGovern had all the
better Of the mill up to this time, and
had the ring been padded there would
have been another story to tell. In de-

gave Green Morris crack per-
former Autolight another beating. Once
before the pair met under nearly precise
conditions and the result was the same.
Even now there are many who think Au-
tolight can reverse the verdict. This is
based no doubt on the start in yester-
days race both Ordnung and Articulate
outbreaking the Morris entry. The three
horses named were the only starters, and
the friends of Ordnung once got to for
their money. AT the start Johnny Woods
let the favorite skip right out in front.
Articulate kept him close company to the
stretch and there shot his bolt. By this
time O'Connor had brought Autolight into
play, and although the race was run just
right to suit the latter horse, which is a
slow beginner, Ordnung won by a length.
The going was sloppy and cut UP in
places, and the time 1:1o12 marks an eX-
cellent performance. However, there Stlll
exists doubt as to the relative merits OF
the two horses and they will probably
clash again.
-Four we'll backed favorites in The
Weaver, Urchin, Sol Lichtenstein and De-
coy were bowled over. On paper the pro.
igramme, did not wear very classy
look, but some extensive wagering was
INDUCED in.
The Weaver, a maiden 2-year-old owned
by Hugh Wilson, the Butte hotel man,
was made the medium of a huge plunge
in the opening scramble. From threes the
price was gradually chopped to to and
the hot one lost the decision to Rameses
by a neck. No excuses could be onered
for The Weaver, as he was simply out
footed by Green Morris colt, which was
excellently ridden by Birkenruth.
In the seven furlong run which fol
lowed all the starters carried thelr
weight and it wore atch-as-catch-can
look Urchin, with Bullman up, finally
downed with consummate ease by Rose OF
Hilo, 10 to / shot, piloted by Ruiz.

the line first for the mile and a sixteenth

received more than to anything else can
be attributed his victory. Spencer al
lowed Ned Dennis. the dangerous looking
one, to go out with ST. Anthony and then

of Dennis by a length. OConnor finished
third with Alicia.
Dr. Rowells black youngster, Sol Lich-
tenstein, was looked upon as certainty
for the five furlong twO-year-Old sprint.
Birkenruth did not get him away from
the post in very good shape and Woods
on Botany led him from start to finish.
Phyllis ran poor third.
The closing mile and a sixteenth proved
difficult guessing problem. Decoy

makers and handicappers and was made
