Britt sent in four consecutive left jabs to- the face and followed with right and left swings to the jaw. Britt kept after Nelson, mercilessly pegging away with left jabs and straight left to face. Nelson tried to get to close quarters, but Britt jabbed three lefts to the face and they went against the ropes in a clinch. Britt varied his style with left hooks to the body and Nelson slipped to the floor from a missed left swing. Britt kept jabbfng Neison's face with left con tfnuously until the bell rang.

Nelson forced Britt about the ring, but the Californian was too shifty and avoided the Dane's at tempts. A clinch followed, Roche again breaking the men, Britt sent a straight left to the face, but recegved in return right on the jaw and left to the body. Nelson fought hard and it was give and take.

NEW PHELADELPHIAs.

The Philadelphia National league club is after Jack Warner, Sthe popular catcher of McGraw's New Yorks. The Quakers are willing to trade Catcher Roth for him, even up. HugL Duffy, the Philadelphia manager, believes that Warmer would prove a tower of strength, and as Jack is said to be anxious to get away from the New York team deal may be made. With the new players recently secured the Philadelphias will take the field some. thing like this: Bransfeld, first base; Gleason, second base; Kruger, third base; Hulswitt, shortstop; Mccormick, Thomas and McGee in the outfeId, with Pittenger, Lush. Corridor, Sparks, Suthoff, DuggIeby, Kellum and Cald- well, pitchers. Doofn, Roth or Wan sners will do the catching. This is a much stronger team than those of the last two years.

JIU-JITsU OLD, SAYS JENK1Ns.

Tom Jenkins. the noted wrestler, for merly champion of the world, and only recently defeated, has carefully analysed 5iJ-J Jitsl, the Japanese method of wrestling, which is so rapidly com ing into vogue in the United States.
 "Jiu-jitsu, or Japanese wrestling, is nothing more nor less than combinn> ton of the old Cornish style of collar and elbow wrestling and rough and tumble fighting" says Jenkins. 1T have carefully investigated the Japan. ese method of wrestling and was in company with one of the best teachers of the method in Japan. He explained carefully and thoroughly to me thk style of self-defense used among his countrymen.
 ssThe promoters of the system Of Japanese self-defense claim that with one Of their holds any man can over come one twice his size and weight. How are you to get that hold? There's the rub.
 ssThese so-caned new holds ex- plotted by the Japs have been Tn use among American and English Wresf- lers on the mat for many years, and for the most part have been thought so little of as to have been barred from reputable matches.
 "Jfu-jitsu will not revolutionize American wrestling. There is no struggle whatsoever, and 1t would kill the American styles, or any other style for that matter. if allowed on the mats here. There is no struggle, and alA there is to it is that you bend your opponents legs. arms or neck until the' bones break. You first get your bone breaking hold and then hold on like A bulldog until one or the others bones break or your opponent or you tap the mat and admit defeat.
 saThere isn't a hold in the entire category they use and teach that has not been used in English schools bS students for hundreds of years.

BRITT IS

Nelson Put Up a Game Fight to the Finish But Was Outclassed- the Fight By Rounds.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21.--A $35,. 900 audience was damned into Me chanics' pavilion last night when Jim. my Britt of this city and Battling Nell son of Chicago fought in what was vir- tuaIIy conceded to be contest for the worlds lightweight championship. The belief that Joe Cans, the coIored pugil- ist. who recently retained the title by. securing decision over Britt on foul, is probably unable to reduce to the lightweight limit accentuates the fact that the winner of last nighTs battle is looked upon as the legitimate champion of the lightweight division,
 Never were two athletes more per fectly conditioned than Britt and Nell son when they ceased their long and 0rduous course of training, and each,

Jack O'Brien of Philadelphia kept up his good work in the ring by whip ping Morris Harris, a negro fighter, in six round bout at Philadelphia. before the Washington Sporting club last Monday night. Harris absolutely refused to stand up and fight, but stood in the center of the ring where he crouched and covered his face and jaw with his hands. Only twice dur ing the contest did he essay to lead. When he did O'Brien was a good deal out of the way of the blows Mor- ris's refusal to do something was not taken very kindly by the crowd, who urged him to scrap.
