Californian Heavier Than
in Any of HIS Bouts
in the Ring.

ALAMEDA, Oct. sO.-Jimmy Britt
was below the required weight this
morning for his fight, so his exercise
throughout the day was taken with a
view to maintain his bodily health
rather than to improve his splendid
condition.
He went four miles on the road in the
morning just as a pipe-opener. In the
afternoon he went for long drive with
Charley Kreling. He did not want to
work in the gymnasium, neither did he
want to answer the rapid-fire questions
which would be shot at him from all
directions. The street near his quarters
was thronged all afternoon. Many took
up points of vantage on the gymnasium
steps and remained there several hours.
Britt spent pleasant evening with
his training staff. He is absolutely con-
fident of defeating Cans, thinking the
colored boxer cannot Withstand the
rushing fight he has outlined.

CALIFORNIA COURTS SCENE
OF SPIRITED TENNIS SETS
Although Heavily Handicapped, Long
and james Manage to Reach
the Final Round.

The most interesting handicap
doubles tennis tournament since the
Davis cups were competed for was
held yesterday on the California Club
courts. Seventeen teams participated.
The handicapping, except in two or
three cases, was good. Many of the
players are new and the tournament
committee could not tell just where to
place them. When time was called
late in the afternoon but three teams
remained in the fray. They are Her
bert Long and George James, Will Col
Iier and Carl Gardner, Al Kenyon and
Melville Long.
Although as heavily handicapped as
any of the other team, Long and James
again reached the finals where they
will meet the winner of the match be-
tween Collier and Gardner and Long
and Kenyon. Long and James won the
last two tournaments and if they are
successful in their match next Sun
day the valuable trophies will go to
them permanently.
Schmidt and Rolfe, the other team
with two victories to its credit. was
beaten in the first round by Kuehn
The San Francisco call., 1904-10-31
Betting Expected to Go
10 to 6 Before
Contest.

Jimmy Britt, the greatest fighter of
his inches produced in California and
holder of the feather weight champion
ship title, will make a bold bid tonight
in Mechanics Pavilion for the light
weight championship of the world. He
will meet Joe Cans, a master hand at
the art Of boxing and one of the great
est tacticians the Queensberry ring has
produced. Cans never makes an un-
necessary move of hand or foot. That
he is a powerful hitter is shown by the
number of knockouts credited to him in
his ten years of fighting. For the first
time in three years he is to fight at the
recognized lightweight limit-133 pounds
ringside. If he were allowed to fight at
1876 pounds, the weight dictated by Erne
when Cans defeated him for the cham
pionship, it is conceded by betting men
he would be strong one to two choice.
He was an eight to ten favorite on Sat
urday When betting closed, and the
odds may be heightened to-day when
it is known he will come in at the re-
Quired weight easily. That he is salts
fed with his condition is evident, as he
says, "I have no excuses whatever to
offer"
Whether ten years Of training and
fighting have impaired Cans vitality
will be demonstrated tonight before
many rounds have been fought
Opposed to Cans is a fresh, vigorous
boy bubbling over with vitality. He is
natural fighter, who never gives way
an inch. Blows which would stop an
ordinary boxer seem only to stir him
to greater action. He has not been a
knockout hitter, but he has invariably
punished his opponents severely. He
has never been defeated, either as anna
teur or professional. The spectators
will see some sensational fighting when
the men are sent together tonight.
Britt has said he will go after Cans
from the tap of the gong. Cans wants
to win quickly also as he does not
want to weaken in long drawn out
struggle.
AS no one has ever succeeded in carry
ing the fight to Cans and getting away
with it, it remains to be seen with what
success Britt will meet. Cans brilliant
showing with Walcott Is fresh in the
minds of the men who saw that fight.
If Walcott wanted to slug, Cans was
right there to do his share OF the fight
ing.
Britt will be heavier tonight than
at any time in his career. He expects
to be just under the. 133-pound notch,
while on other occasions he has inva-
riably weighed about 1S1 pounds. His
confidence is unbounded, as he thinks
no man can beat him at even weights.
With the knowledge that Cans has
made the weight in a manner satisfac-
tory to his own people, 1T is expected
the betting to-day will ke heavy. In
the opinion of experts in the matter of
price Cans will enter the ring to 10
choice. This price is based on his skill
as a boxer both Offensive and defen-
sive, and on his knowledeIe of ring tao
tics. Manager Herford Isl betting heav-
lily on Cans.
