SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Dec. 20
Sporting men from points far and near
are arriving to see the fight between
Jimmy Britt the idol of the Pacific
coast. and Battling Nelson" who at.
tanned the top of the pugilistc ladder

Young Corbett" Interest in the con

The fact that th, ctor of tonights
battle will have legitimate claim to
the championship, serves to increase
the interest. though there is no actual
championship at stake. Britt is not the
lightweight champion. Joe Cans still
holding the title, though he was
soundly thrashed by Britt. who lost
the fight on foul. The fight, however
will have every feature of champion.
ship contest, as Britt. through his
showing against Cans, and Nelson, in
bet" have every right to be recog
nized as the two best men In their
class
The fact that Britt is the iavorite>in
the betting evidently has not dimin
ished the confidence of Nelson's fol
lowers. Some of the wiseacres of the
sporting brigade say the Chicago boy
is only good on the surface and that
he will be unable to stand against
fighter of Britt's acknowledged clever
ness Warm friends OF the Dane just
smile at this, and simply say that the
result will Justify their confidence
In Nelson's ability and gameness.
Both fighters have finished their
work of preparation and are doing
only enough work today TO keep in the
pink of condition Those who have
been admitted to their respective
training quarters declare that the
fighters appear to be in condition to
fight the battle of their lives.
