BRITT GETS MONEY
James to Have Big End, WIN
or Lose

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. Oct. 1S.-
Win or lose in his coming battle with
Joe Cans, Jimmie Britt, the feather
weight champion, will get the winners
end of the purse, and will thereby be
able to add to his growing bank ac-
count. Britt has shown good business
sense in the transaction, but whether
it will add to his popularity is aues-
tion to be determined. With the pres
ent financial arrangement there is lit
tie incentive for Britt to do his best.
He has voluntarily gone out of his class
to meet Cans, realizing that if he is
defeated he can still come back and
meet Young Corbett for the feather
weight championship.
The question is whether a fighter
can do his best when he knows that
the winners end is his before he puts
up his glove. The only other important
battle which was controlled by SIM
liar agreement was the Jeffries Fitz-
simmons battle. Fitzsimmons was
guaranteed s. per cent of the fighters
end of the money, win or lose. OF
course, he had no idea of losing the
championship, but made the proviso
to assure him in case of an accident.
Fitzsimmons got the lions share of the
money, but he lost the championship,
being knocked out in the eleventh
round of the battle.
Britt and Cans have already plunged
into active training for the contest.
Cans is just now on edge as a result
of his recent fight with Walcott, and
he will not be required to work very
hard. There are many who believe that
the weight question will cause Cans
little trouble, 1873 pounds at the ring
side appearing to be drawing the line
too tight about the colored mans con-
dition.
AT any fair weight Cans is the great
est fighter among the lighter men in
the ring today. He seems to improve
with every battle, and his last contest
with Waleott showed him to be every
bit as good, if not better, than he was
two years ago. He is sure to make
Britt step a lively pace. He has some
advantage over Britt in experience and
he is considered a more finished boxer
than the California fighter

apolis Central High on
Muddy Field

In a heavy driving rain and on a field
of mud the Manchester football team was
defeated by the Minneapolis Central high
eleven by the score of 16 to 0.
The two teams met a week ago, but
owing to the heavy condition of the field
neither side was able to score. Yester-
day under similar conditions, the high
school boys clearly demonstrated their SUI
periority.
Manchester was weakened by the alb
sence of Ames at tackle and Shanahan at
left half and the fumbling, which was
frequent on both sides, proved far more
disastrous to the college men, and costly
fumbleS were responsible for two of the
three touchdownS.
The soggy field made it necessary to
eliminate end runs and line bucks and
mass plays were the order of the day.
Capt. Morse proved to be good ground
gamer for the high school aggregation,
and on the delayed pass Strom also made
long runs
For Manchester Shellman played strong
game at tackle as well as Chadderton and
Flanagan at guard.
The first touchdown was made by
Jameson in the first half after ten min
utes of play. Morse and Strom added
two more in the second half.
Despite the weather the game was wit

NO REST ON SABBATH
FOR THE COTTON MEN
Hundreds of Bales of Cotton Hauled Through
Streets of Civ

Nearly 1000 men labored all of
yesterday to relieve the cotton conges-
ton that is fast Selling upon Savan-
nahs freight yards, and the unusual
sight of drays, carts and all manner
of freight vehicles, laden with cotton
passing through the streets was wit
messed.
Thousands of bales of cotton were
handled during the day and much was
done towards clearing up for
the heavy receipts which are expect
ed to-day and all the rest of the week.
When the cotton congestion first
commenced to be noticed by shippers
here steps We're taken to have the COM
presses hurry it through as fast as
possible. The compress management
frankly admitted that the rush was
more than could be handled, and the
railroads were then requested to bring
what cotton was lying at the presses
on to Savannah without being COM
pressed. This has been done in many
instances, and the drays and other
vehicles were employed during the
day to convey the cotton to the
wharves, the freight yards being so
crowded that time could be saved by
this manner of getting the cotton to
the ships and away from the yards.
short on Vehicles.
The track system around Savannah
has been perfected to such an extent
that the large number of drays that
were once employed to handle cotton
to the wharves from the freight yards
have gone out of commission, and
when the demand came for an unusual
number of them everything that could
be used for carrying cotton was pressed
into service by the transfer companies.
Carts, heavy trucks, vans and light de-
livery wagons were used

BROTHER THINKS
1T WAS FOUL PLAY
DISCREDITS SUICIDE THEORY.
But EVERY SIGN SEEMS To POINT
no THAT THEORY.

Brother of Mysterious Mr.. Griffin
Returned TO His HOme-FOund no
Additional Information During
His DiIigent Inquiry Here-Says
His Brother Was Not the Kind to
Commit Suicide and Had Nothing
to Commit Suicide for.
Almost convinced that his brother
was a victim of foul play, Mr.. r. A
Griffin left Savannah for his home in
'Quitman yesterday afternoon.
During his stay in Savannah Mr..
Griffin followed diligently all clues OBJ
tanned so far relating to his brothers
actions while here, with the final re-
suit that he made no further progress
than had already been made by those
who have been interested in the case.
He traced his brothers actions
through every day of the week, and
nally with the ride Sunday night TO
the Pulaski House in Jim Wrights cab,
accompanied by Mr.. b. Z. Andrews.
All efforts to find a trace of his brothers
actions after he went to his room in
the elevator failed.
Discredits Suicide Theory.
Mr.. Griffin discredits the theory of
suicide as connected with his borther's
disappearance. He says he had nothing
to commit suicide about and was not
of that temperament at all.
my idea is" said Mr.. Griffin, that
my brother walked out of the hotel
while no one was noticing and was
driven off in a cab. Where to 1 do
not know, but I do know that he has
that he took none of his
clothes with him, that he had limit
ed amount of money, and had he gone
away on the train he would have writ
ten back here for the money he has at
the Ordinarys Office.
If he were sick in Savannah some
thing would have been heard from
him. L have canvassed the hospitals,
and he is not an inmate of any of
them. 1 do not believe that he would
have taken his own life, and l am
forced to the belief that he has been
foully dealt with"
But Suicide Theory Sticks.
With the lack of developments now,
the first theory advanced as to Mr..
Griffin's disappearance is most plausi-
ble-that he wandered down to the
river and either fell overheard or in
