FRANK tRNt KNOCKED OUT
Jimnis" 'it5 Proved III Better Man
in the 5 venth Round.

San Francisco, Nov. 2G.-Frank Erne Of
Buffalo lost tonight to Jimmie Britt Of
this city. Erne was Knocked out in the
seventh round OF one or the fastest con-
tests ever witnessed in this city. Britt
while not SO clever as the Buffalo man
was the more aggressive and landed the
most telling blows. The mon went at it
from the sound OF the bell in the first
round and for nearly seven rounds it was
a nip al tuck contest between them.
Eritt proved himself far the clcvcrer in
the clinCheS and never missed chance to
use his right or left to advantage. The
Eastern lad showed his superior general
ship in many tight places and kept Britt
off with straight leits during the early
part of the battle and later in the contest
discovered that he could upper cut the
Californian successfully. on one or to oc-
casons he had the San Francisco boy at
a disadvantage.
Erne was IN a bad plight several times.
but fought back with superb gameness
and succeeded in keeping the Californian
off at most critical periods. Only one
round did Erne have decided advantage.
In the fifth Erne landed a slight left on
Hritts jaw and followed with a terrific
right TO the heart. lie continued to play
for the Californian's heart and at the close
had his youthful adversary in an almost
EroGgy condition.
In the sixth round both men fought
furiousy, Britt trying to regain the
ground he had lost and Erne endeavoring
to secure a decided lead. Britt played
for the Buffaonians stomach and heart
and during the last half minute of the
round placed his left on Erne's solar
pleXus Britt fought himself to a stand
stll and both men went to their corners
in a groggy condition from the terrific
punishment administered.
Britt was not to be overcome by the
minute rest preceding the seventh round
and when Erne stepped TO the center of
the ring In what proved to be the final
round il was seen that he was almost
gone Britt was not blind to his advan-
tage and rushed at his man, landing ter
rife let's to the body and rights to the
face and head A left upper cut caught
Erne in the solar oleXus and he went
down tor count of seven, but his dom
inant energy asserted itself and he gain
ed his feet, 1nly TO go down few seconds
later from another terrific left to the
same place, lie rolled over and did the
best he could to regain his feet but could
not do So
| Jim Britt's professional lighting career
| commenced less than year ago but dur
| ing that time he has successfully fought
| his way to the top.
