GAME FOR BEER CITY
Wisconsin to Play Haskell In
dams at Milwaukee.

MADISON, Wis, March 25.-At con-
ference between Coach Curtis. of the foot
ball team, and other athletic authorities,
at Madison, it was decided that the Has
kell Indian team be played in Milwaukee
on Oct. 10, which will be two weeks prior
to the Michigan game in Madison.
At the meeting of the athletic board,
held last week, it was decided to hold
the Haskell game in Milwaukee, provided
Coach Curtis did not consider it too hard
a contest for the team at that time in
the season. Curtis came to Madison to
confer with the authorities, and has de-
cided that while the game will be harder
than the team has ever had for an early
season contest. it Will be played, mainly
for the reason that Milwaukee demands
a good contest. and this game will prove
the best ON the schedule outside of three
championship games.
Word was received from the manager
of the Haskell team two days ago, stating
that they would be willing to come. The
Indians have had strong teams for the
last three seasons, use the Michigan style
Of play, and are heavy and fast. Last
year they nearly defeated Chicago, the
final score being II to IT, and next fall
they expect TO have an even. stronger
eleven than last season.

At 1854 p. m. Britt entered the ring
and was introduced as "ti1e idol OF the
Olympic club and the pride Of Cali

ton which lasted several minutes.
Jimmy looked bit worried, but it was
seen that his physical condition was
good in spite of the low weight.
Immediately afterward Corbett was
introduced as 1'the pride Of Denver
and the featherweight champion of the
world" His reception did not suffer
in comparison with the ovation accord
ed the local favorite. Both men posed
for a flashlight photograph.
Referee Graney entered the ring, and,
after shaking hands with both men,
brought them to the center Of the ring
and gave them their instructions.
Britt looked nervous as he posed for
the photograph. Britt and Corbett
then shook hands and went to their
respective corners. Britt wore red
trunks, with the emblem of the Olym-
pic club embroidered on them. Cor
belts trunks were plain black.

WOODWARD'S PAVILION
PACKED TO THE DOORS

San Francisco tonight was fight mad.
Not since the good old days when Jack
Dempsey and Peter Jackson battled for
fame and fortune in this city had such
intense and universal interest been dis
played, nor had the pugflistfc world
witnessed such stirring scenes as those
which were enacted at WoodWard's
pavilion when the worlds champion
featherweight, young Corbett," or
Denver, and Jimmy Britt, faced each
other to settle the question Of fstic
supremacy.
The climax was reached when the
doors of the newly remodeled Wood
wards pavilion were thrown open to
the public. All morning. afternoon
and during the early hours OF the
evening a. vast throng stood In line
awaiting the sale of general admission
tickets. By nightfan the line had been
augmented by thousands. Street car
traffic in front of the pavilion was Sc
riously hampered by this line. which
extended for several blocks In either
direction. Mounted policemen were
compelled to use their clubs to pre-
serve anything like order, and at times
they were swept aside like so much
chaff before the wind. Finally, when
the rush had subsidized somewhat and
the police had stopped the sale of
seats, it was estimated that as many
persons had been unable to gain admis-
sion to the auditorium as were assem-
bled within it's walls.
When the bell summoned the prin-
cipals in the main event to the center
Of the ring there were about 5000
people present. The club officials
stated that the receipts would total

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 25.-
James Britt, of California, was given
the decision tonight over William Roth
well, better known as Young Corbett,"
of Colorado. in a twenty round contest
at Woodward's pavilion.
Up to the seventeenth round Cor
belts advantage was apparent. but in
that round Britt rallied and rained
right and left blows on various por-
tons of Corbett's anatomy, forcing
the champion to clinch to save himself.
The styles of the two boxers were
entirely distinctive Britt fought for
the body most of the time, while Cor
bett directed his attack for the head,
face and jaw Britt weighed just 129
pounds, but Corbetts weight was not
made public, though it is understood
he was at least pound and a half
below the agreed weight, 1870 pounds.
Both men fought hard in every
round. Britt, in his crouching attitude,
was able to guard his stomach eff
fectively, though Corbett was able to
land hard on his head and jaw. In
the first few rounds Britt found the
Denver mans stomach repeatedly,
though his blows lacked steam.
It was without doubt the greatest
fight fought in California. Britt's abil-
ity to assimilate punishment and his
endurance were simply marvellous. At
no time during the twenty rounds did
Britt break ground. He always brought
the fight to COrbett, who was breaking
ground and clinching most of the time.
Britt was heavily punished, yet was at
all times willing to take more, and
finally outganed the champion. The
pace that both men set made them
very tired. However, their condition
brought them, after minutes respite,
to the center of the ring with renewed
vigor. Britt was better at the out
fighting; Corbett superior in the In
fighting. Britt had the best footwork
and the greatest speed.
Corbett showed himself the cleverer
fighter at times and the heavier hit
ter.
After the fight Referee Eddie Ora
ney said:
81 simply gave the decision to the
man who had the best Of the fight"
Young Corbett was the first to enter
the ring. He was clad in a blue and
white sweater and had both hands
bandaged. After being cheered he at
once took his seat and proceeded to
read numerous kilograms which had
preceded him. He smiled confidently to
his friends around the ringside. His
condition appeared to be perfect.
Mike Schreck, who is matched to
fight Billy Woods at Colna, was pre-
scented to the crowd pending the ar
rival of Britt. A batch of challenges
was received and read by Announcer
Jordan. Buddy Ryan, Eddie Hanlon
and Kid Herman challenged the win
ner Of the Britt Corbett fight. Nu-
merous local celebrities also were there
with challenges, among them being
Spider" WEIGH and Jack Cordel.
A telegram was received from Sam
Harris, challenging the winner on be-
half of Terry McGovern at 100 pounds

MAN FELL OVER A CHAIR.
The Noise Started Panic in HavIin's
Theater, ST. Louis.

st. Louis, Jan. "a man falling
over a chair started panic in Hav-
Inns theater Thursday night, but the
prompt action of Manager William
Garen prevented a general stampede.
During an act when the house was
dark and the audience was listening
intently to the lines of the play man
moving about in the rear of the bal
cOny fell over a chair, making a great
noise. Instantly the audience was in
a panic, women screamed and the au-
dience sprang to it's feet en- masse.
The manager instantly ordered the
lights turned on and, rushing upon
the stage, he called to the panic-strick-
en- people to be seated, telling them
there was no danger and imploring
them to remember the terrible Iro-
quois theater disaster. The audience
at once Gained down and Mr.. Garen
continued to talk, explaining that the
exits were all open and that the alarm
had been caused by a noise in the gal
lery, and there was nothing to fear.
He then had the asbestos curtain low

SOUTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON.
Rr. Adm. C. J. Barclay May Succeed
Rr. Adm. Lamberton in Command,

Washington, Jan. 29.-It is probable
that RI. Adm. B. J. LambertOn, com
mander-in-chief Of the South Atlantic
squadron, who has been pronounced
by medical survey unfit for service on
account of his eyesight and is on his
way home, will be succeeded by RI.
Adm. Charles J. Barclay, commander
Of the Puget Sound navy yard.
This command is regarded as likely
to prove very much more important in
the near future than it has been in
the past, owing to the policy the navy
general board has adopted of alternat-
ing the various squadrons on their
stations. Next spring the present
South Atlantic squadron will proceed
to the Caribbean, replacing the pres
ent squadron there, and in the course
of a year or two Adm. Barclays ships
will be probably flying their penants
in the Mediterranean This policy
will do much to overcome the reluct-
ance of naval officers to accept serv-
ice on far away and undesirable sta
items
