RRITT sTILL FAyORITE

San Francisco, Dec 16.--First bet ting on the Britt-Nelson fight was re corded last night The odds so far quoted are 10 to ', with Britt the fa- vorite. There is every reason to eX- pect that there will be plenty of Nel- son money In sight, but the Nelson packers will want odds, and will most likely get them. In none Of the last four fights that he won has Nelson been the lfavorite in the betting.
 Jimmy Britt will have no trouble whatever reaching 132 pounds. He is EWo pounds above this notch now. but he can drop to weight any time he de, eiRes. As matter of fact Britt has given more attention to keeping his weight high.
 "There will be no trouble about the weight said Spider Kelly yesterday. Jimmy will be there and, mark my words, you will never see him stronger. He will make the weight as easily as breaking sticks"
 Britt did his usual amount of road work yesterday morning. He will keep 1lp his boxing until the end of the week, but he will take no chances ot Drea king his hands.

PHTLApELPHIA, Dec. 16.--Ffve out of six men at work in the engine room of the battleship Massachusetts were killed by an explosion as the warslaip lay at the League Island navy yard. Three of them were instantly killed. The other two, hemmed in by tho clos. ing Of the automatic doors, were scala ed to death. Lieutenant Cole, chief en- gineer. was badly scaIded, but will re. cover.
 The dead are: Joseph Adore, helper: Edward J. Bub, boilermaker: AIexan- der Hamilton, boilermaker: John Will son, boiIermaker; Charles RitSer, help CT.
 The Massachusetts was laid up at the navy yard for minor repairs Go her boilers, A gang Of three boaiernnakers and two helpers hired in this city were at work under the supervision of Lieu tenant Cole.
 A gasket blew out without warning, carrying heavy manhole cover across the room, Bub, Hamilton and Ritzer, being directly in line with the explo- sion, were blown against a bulkhead @AAA NR uSS<3tAs %ANANAS SAAA&A w HI son were knocked down.
 The delicately poised automatic doors, disturbed by the explosion, swung shut, imprisonihg the dead and injured. Adore and Wilson, unable to help them selves, were boiled to death in the vol urns Of steam and water that spOuted out of the boiler. Lieutenant Cole, who shapperIed to be near one of the doors, groped in the darkness and roaring of escaped steam to an upright piece of machinery, upon which he climbed to escape the boiling water that covered the floor
 Above the terrific noise Lieutenant Cole heard the shrieks o9 Adore and Wilson as they were slowly cooked. All he could do was wait for rescuerg to come and open the doors from the. outside. To have gone down on the floor would have been suicide, and his own injuries were rapidly weakening him.
 The shock of the explosion keeled Che ship at her rnoorings and had the effect Of driving her crew to quarters For q moment it was thought that the Mas sachusetts had been blown up. Then came a burst of steam and smoke up the companionways, warning the ofsi- cerS and men on deck that something had happened below.
 There was a rush for the engine room, and in spite of the steam and dre brave volunteers opened the auto naatic doors, crawled in and draggsd out the injured and the bodies of the dead. Several of the members of the crew were hurt in the work or rescue An investigation has been ordered to determine the cause of the accident.

He gained the first iA 34 minutes and the deciding fall in S5 minutes. Burns, once Americas fore most wrestler, gave the burly Parr a tough struggle for time, but Burns is growing old and his tricks and strength soon melted under the punish ment inflicted by the burly English man. Twice Burns had Parr within inches of being down. A great crowd witnessed the match. Parr was fa- vorite, 10 to z. After the bout Parr challenged Frank Gotch for the Ameri- can championship.

RACING.
1OO SLOAN WlNS HIS
 FOUR YEAR FIGHT

Because the highest French courts yesterday confirmed Judgment of S4U,OOO in fax or of Jockey Tod Sloan agalnst the French Jockey club, friends of the popular American rider expressed the Delef last nlgnt that he would be seen in the sauuIe in this country next season.
 Harry Payne Whitney is said to be favOrably inclined toward SEoan's re- turn to the turf as a rider ,and it would be no surprise if the English Jockey club should wituuraw its ban against him. Tn this case Sloan will certainly sport silk'' agaRa.
 The French verdict comes at crit ical time in Sloan's finances--when -four is low in the barrel-as turfmen remark. Four years ago, when he was first placed under the ban by the English Jockey club stewards, Sloan was rated to be worth $3OO,OOO. Just at present he has the $40,0O0 verdict hn his favor, unbounded confidence in his ability as a jockey and few other dollars.
 In May, 1902, when Rose di Mai, a French lilly. won the Prize de Diane stakes at the ChantillY meeting, Sloan was charged with working her a trial and preparing her for the contest, de- spite the fact that he had been re- fused q license aE a jockey. The French Jockey club stewards contend ed that he had no lawful right to ride the lilly trial on the grounds, inas- much as he was not in good standing, and they expelled him from the French turf
 In view of the fact that the French Jockey club will have to pay the $4O.- 900, it is now probable that the Eng fish ' key t1rb stewards, who were the first to deprive Sloan of chance to ply his vocation by refusing him a jockeys license four years ago, will sion to ride this spring.
 The cause of his expulsion in Eng land was due to his betting heavily on his mounts. particularly on Caf1o~ man, on which he won the Cambridge shire stakes in 1900. for F. Gardiner the American ttIrfman. Jockeys are prohibited from betting in Enelanu.
 For two years Sloan, was kept on the ground. Then, in 1909, he re- ceived a license as a trainer. This was offered him to appease the cIanorfng Of his influential friends, who made at various times application for a renew al of his license. It was during that period that he was expelled in France

TWO EXCITING BOUTS.

Two rattling fights at the National A. O.. Philadelphia, last Wednesday night furnished the large crowd pres, cut with plenty of excitement. The w,indup was between Jack O'Neil of Philadelphia and Tommy Connolly of Reading. No one expected that Con nelly had chance with O'Nell, who is regarded in Philadelphia as a crack. But the spectators were treated to a surprise from which they did not re, cover for some time after it happened. Connolly is an undersized lad, sholt and thick. Against man like 0sNeli it was thought he would prove an easy victim. Connolly not only stayed the limit, six rounds, but more than held his own. He was knocked down couple of times, it is true, but always came bobbing up ready for more. In theNlas round be was all over O'Neil. swapping blow for blow, and making O'Neil elineh.
 Tn the six-round go between Missls- sippi. the colored boxer, and Young Pierce of Germantown, honors were even throughout But it was the ap- parent viciousness of the men that made the bout interesting. They went at each other in slan1bang manner, and the spectators expected to see one of the boxers go down in defeat At the finish the men were on their feet ready to go six more rounds if necessary.

 LONDON, Dec. 16.-A dispatch to the Japanese legation from Tokyo says:
 '"The commander of the third squad ron reports that the Russian battIesbfp Sevastopol, Attacked by the Japanese destroyer hotilla, has been torpedoed and has sunk so that her torpedo tube is completely submerged.
 "One of the torpedo boats which at- tackled the Sevastopol is missing.
 ..six torpedo boats took part in the attack on the Sevastopol. the Otvashni and another Russian ship"
 The Sevastopol was the only warship that escaped destruction by the naval guns on Two Hundred and Three Me ter hill
 She had escaped from the dock and harbor and was anchored under a pro- jecting mountain. There she was re peatedly attacked by Japanese boatsl with results as stated.
 The torpedo attack on the sevastopoI was made in the face of almost insur- mountable obstacles, The crews of all the torpedo boat destroyers and torpe- do boats volunteered for the attack.
 Facing driving snowstorm and heavy seas the fotilla separated, and under individual commanders, the ves- sels attacked independently.
 St. Petersburg advices say that the admiralty has no intention of court marttaling Captain Clado. but prac- tically has decided that he shall be held there and not permitted, to go tc Paris to testify before the information. al North sea commission.

Twin Sullivan now wants to fight Tommy Ryan. If they should meet in a six-round bout in Philadelphia, how many persons would give Up good money to see them? RyaIEs affair with Root not long ago has made many of the fight promoters feel rath. CT backward about engaging Ryan as a star attraction. Ryan, by the way, has 10 just claim on the. title Of mid. dleweight champion. He never met F'ftzsimnnons, who was never beaten for the title st that weight. He drew the color line on Joe YValcott, a welter- weight, and has yet to show that he is the master of philadelphia Jack O'Brien.
