 San Francisco, Cal, Nov 26.-W nat nat promises to be the greatest fight oI lns year between lightWeights will occur at the Mechanics Pavilion under the auspices of the Yosemite club tO-nlghL. The principals will be Frank Erne, the former champion, and Jimmy Br1tt, whom Californians consider the pest boy of his weight ever seen on the coast The conditions call for a tWen- ty-rornd bout, at 135 pounds, at the ringside, the winner to receive D per cent of the gate receipts and the loser 9 per cent Both men have recog- nized the importance of being in cond1- tion and they have trained faithfully. Erne has been quartered at the Rel1- ance club, Oakland. and Britt at KrolTs Gardens, near this city. The Buffalo boy looks bigger and stronger than he did when he knocked out Dal Hawkins here two years ago, and is now slight favorite. He is confident that he will take Britt's measure without much trouble. He figures that his superior cleverness. hitting powers and ring generalship will counterba1ance the Californian's strength. Britt keeps we'll in touch with the situation and does not seem to be the least bit worried over the task he has set out to per- form. He is in superb condition. Britt has received the advice of able coun- sellors, Charley Reno and De Witt Van Court being his chief mentors. Further more, Spider Kelly and Tim Me- Grath go across the bay every day to give the fighter their advice. Al Her ford manager of Joe Cans lightweight champion. has written here that he is willing to pit his protege against Britt and Erne in the same ring and on the same night. and guarantees that he will stop them both in twenty rounds or forfeit the entire purse. As far as Britt is concerned. Cans and Herford have no more line on him than the San Francisco sporting public, and they have a hunch that Jimmie has never had to extend himself. Should he beat Erne decisive1v. how much better would Cans do than the youth full plumber? That's a connundrum. Tn the second place. neither Britt nor Erne. who class high. despite HerfOrd's s expressed small estimation of them, would refuse to so belittle their repu- tations as to double team the Balti- morean. Rritt's view on the color line, too. would prove an insurmountable obstacle.
 Joe Walcott's arm is getting better. but it will be some time before he will be able to box again.
 The six-round bout between Dave Sullivan and Benny Yanger of Chicago, which was to have been decided at the ! America A. c: of Chicago on December | l., has been postponed until week | later
 Tommy Feltz is filling weeks en- gagement with a vaudeville show in Boston. After that he will go into training for his twenty-round bout with Tommy Love at Baltimore on Decem- | Der 10.
 Billy Ryan, the Syracuse feather weight. has again been matched to box in Toronto. Eddie Santry, the Chicago scrapper, has agreed to meet Ryan on 1 November % at 126 pounds at the Crescent A. c.
 The special attraction at the Lenox A. C., Boston, tomorrow night, will be a ten-round go between Irwin" Sulli- van and Young Peter Jackson. h one of the preliminarfes Philadelphia i Jack" O'Brien will be referee.
 For the third time in their fistic ca reer George Monroe of New York and I Gus Bezenah of Cincinnati will meet < in ten-round boxing bout at the En- pire theater. Indianapolis. tomorrow night. In their previous contests one l resulted in draw and the second was won by Bezenah.
 Since Jack McClelland knocked out Tommy Sullivan, Charley Haughton manager of the West End Athletic 1 club of St Louis, is finding it a diff cult matter to get a man to meet the Pittsburg boxer. Dave Sullivan re fused to fight him without three weeks training, and Abe Attell declined tc make match at any time.
 l Bert Collins, Cincinnati feather weight, may be matched with Eddie Ienny at the Penn Art A. O., Philadel phia. It is said that while McGoyerr was training in Cincinnati Collins p1l1 the gloves on with Art Sims, and the latter did not have any the best of tht argument. Collins is also willing tt met Biz Mackey, winner to take all.

 that the Englishman was put to sleeI in the fourteenth round. The boys me
 at 115 pounds for purse and side bet From the first to the tenth the mill was
