n AN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31-Jimmy
IN Britt, of California, lost the light
weight championship of the world to-
night when he fouled Joe Cans. He had
sent Cans to his knees in the fifth round
and then losing his head gave him a
vicious punch and Referee Graney prompt
ly awarded the decision to Cans on a
foul. The same thing had happened in
the fourth round. Cans had dropped to
his knees to escape q blow that did not
land. Britt struck at him but Graney
would not allow the foul. In the next
round, however, Graney very promptly
recognized the foul fighting
1t looked almost from the start as if it
were Britts fight. He actually outboxed
Cans and landed blow after blow. In the
fourth round it was apparent that Cans
was scared and barring foul the fight
was Britt's to a certainty. While no ex-
,euse can be made for Britt losing his
head it certainly seemed that Cans in
vited a foul The decision was a great
shock to the biggest crowd that ever
filled the pavilion, but fair minded men
agreed that Graney's judgment was just.
Britt Fought ViciousIy
Britt showed marvellous strength and
uuickness. He went at Cans like a bull
terrier, landing body blows alternating
with swings on the jaw. During the first
three rounds Cans appeared cool and con-
6dent and fairly strong. He appeared
TO be feeling Britt out. but at the end of
the third and the beginning of the fourth
when Britt commenced to fight more vi

when definite assurance was given THAI
Cans had tilted the scales at 1922 pounds
that speculation began in earnest The
colored lad was at once made a warm IA
vorite despite the fact that Britt had a
tremendous following here. At o'clock
the quotations were 10 TO 6!z, with Cans
on the long end. Although il was known
that Britt was in the pink of condition,
there was no lack of Cans money in sight.
That the principals were !. ably handled
may be judged from the list OF SECONDS,
which follows:
Behind Cans were stationed AL Herford.
his manager; Frank Mcdonald and Kid
Sullivan. while Britt was looked after by
Spider Kelly. Frank Rafael, Sam Berger
and Smiling MetZger.
Preliminary Bouts
Preceding the main event two four
round bouts were decided. The curtain
raiser was between George Wilson and
Billy Meehan. This bout went four rounds
to a draw.
bers was given the decision over Jack
Burke in the third round.
Young Corbett jumped into the ring
as soon as Cans appeared and issued a
challenge to the winner of tonight's bat
tie.
Cans appearance was none too invit-
ing. His face looked pinched and drawn
and his general appearance showed PLAIN
ly the effects of hard training.
The scales were brought to the center
of the stage and the men weighed IN IN
full view of the public.
Jimmy Gardner and Mike (Twin) Sulii-
van also challenged the winner OF To-
nights fight. The scales We're set at the
133-p pound mark. Cans jumped on and as
he failed to raise the beam 1t showed that
he was under the required weight. The
exact figures were not taken.
Britt entered the ring at $3.50 and I'M
mediately jumped on the scale. Like Cans
he failed to raise the beam at the 133-
pound mark. Britt looked a trifie nervous,
but physically no fault was to be found.
Britt's arms were bound with tire tape.
Cans arms were free of bandages- Referee
Graney sent the men to the center of the
ring, where they were photographed by
flashlight. e.,-s.-
At the ringside bets were made at even
money that Cans would win within fifteen
rounds
Britt was introduced as the feather
weight champion of the world. Cans was
presented as the lightweight champion OF
the world.
ROUND ONE
Britt went at once into his favortte
crouched position and they spared for
some time. Britt shot his left twice in
quick succession to Cans body, but they
were not forcible. After some more spar
ring Britt hooked his left to the body
again and followed ii with right to the
head. Both then missed rights and lefts
for the head. Britt shot his left TO the
body and missed a right for the head.
Cans apparently sizing up Britt's reach.
Cans missed straight for the head.
Britt was short with left for the body and
