FRIENDS OF NELSON AND

San Francisco. Dec. 22-There IL a con-
Stunning desire In the hearts OF the sport
ing fraternity TO see Britt and Nelson in
Q lother mill
Frierds OF Britt are satisfied tina. the
referee did only justice IN awarding him
the decision over the sturdy little Dane.
yet the admirers OF Nelson are far from
being agreed with Roche decision.
To-day Nelson said he was ready for a
return match with Britt. either here or in
the East.
Il stand ready to fight Britt again for
a side bet of $780, said Nelson, but l
shall insist upon George Siler az referee.
When ] fight twenty rounds again like l
did. l want more taan the short end. l
am not saying this against the decision
of Billy Roche, because 1 stood for him
during all Of the arrangements for the
match. and l suppose that he thought he
was doing the right thinS when he gave
Britt the decision
I believe that / made a fool OF myself
IN the iiEhtinx; I'D not not so at = the ri risn nj
the time. expecting the milling to be
closer. but here / made my mistake. AS
soon as he got away from me out of n
clinch and beyond my reach. he seemed To
have 1t on ne.
He is a wonderful fighter. but I believe
that 1 can prove his master yet. and l
Will watch for a return match"
There is talk now of Britt taking on
JabeZ White. the urOteEe Of charlie Nit
chell. before meeting any other aspirant
for his laurels. White is to san from Bag
land shortly. Britt to-day expressed pleas
Ure at the prOsDeCt OF meeting Wbite.
Il must say said Jimmy. that am
aching to ring in an international conpli-
cation of some KIND, II il JaheZ will just
step across here I'd be only too happy to
break a lance with him
u wouldn't go over to the other side
to box him. however. That would be a
foolish move, for here Is where the money
Is n here is where the boxing game is
popular. I'm sure If White really wants
to meet me ne will wander over this way"
Britt looked spiCk and span, and, with
the exception OF a dark-red slit in the
forehead where Nelson butted him, had
neither brlise nor blemish to show for his
breakneck twenty rounds
Nelson said that his failure to get the
decision has upset all his plans
II had 1t on my schedule to leave for
Chicago in tho morning to have Christ

Nelson. but getting the short end of this

Message TO the Leper.

Sunday, Aug p, at ST. Marys cathedral, Chey-

And as he entered into certain town, there
met him ten men that were lepers. -" Luke xvii. IL
49,
None, perhaps, Of the innumerable ills that affct
the human body IS moro loathsome then leprosy.
Death IS climax in the dissolution of the physical
organism. It marks certain stage, but not the
end OF physical waste, for it is generally after death
those symptoms set in, which. denote TRANSFORMED
tion of substance
But all the hideous, repulsive pcculiarties of de-
cay, that time generates in the inanimate body;
those appearances, forms, carnations and even life
productions that tax offend and at times overpower
the senses, take hold of and torture the poor leper
even during life, making of him living corpse,
efaclng those shades of grace and beauty in whose
possession small minds centre life's charm and
worth.
The leprous eye, once beautiful and bright, is
now dim and unattractivc, transformed into ugli-
ness itself by contemplation of misery the at one
time gauging penetrating deductive mind is cir
cumscribed in its activity to meditation upon the
