Charles Sieger, the New York ltal-

onliest who could take the measure Of
the clever Californian. But the dope
was off by mile. Although he fought
well and showed himself gluten for
punishment, he was up against his
superior in every way, who outpoint-
ed, outboxed and outgeneraled him.
Britt used his famous left hook to the
stomach repeatedly and at the end of
the fight he was without mark. while
Sieger was in pitiable state when lie
staggered from the ring.
The Frisco fight fans, with their
bundle of dope, had figured the car
mage down to duel between the wal
lop and cleverness, but both the clev-
erness and wallop proved to be Britt's.
