the question was asked why the man
hand never been elected to office.
He's too honest to be elected tC

Billy Roche unhesitatingly placed his
hand on the California boy as the win.
ner OF the contest. In the closing
round Britt was punching the Chicago
BOY ali over the ring, but his blows
lacked sufficient force to put uuietus
on his opponent. The fight was an ex-
implication of how much punishment
a human bieng can receive and not sue
cumb. AT several stages of the fight
Nelson was badly punished, but he al
ways kept gamely coming mp to the fir.
Ing line all through the 20 rounds and
only once did he have the local bow in
distress. Britt's excellent generalship
and the advice of his seconds saved
him from going too close TO the danger
point.
Nelson is unquestionably wonder
OF the pugilistic world. Time after
time, after taking blows heavy enough
to put out an ordinary fighter, he
would come up apparently in his earl
Ter form and bring the fighting to
Britts territory.
Referee Roche announced that he
gave the fight to Britt on cleaner hit
ting aud the greater number of points
scored, and retrospect of the fight
bears out the business of his decision.
Although Nelson did most of the lead
ing, Britt displayed the greater ability
as boxer, and his blows were cleaner
and more forceful, while majority of
the shots fired byINelson were at close
range. Nelson was sadly deficient in
long arm work, and most of his at
tempts to reach his opponent while
both men were free were Intellectual.
The house was one of the largest
ever seen in San Francisco and it esti-
msated that the fighters will divide
nearly $40, 900 between them. There
was no visible MARKS of punishment OF
Nelson with the exception of some
slight puffiness about the eyes, but
BIRTHS face was bleeding in several
places from the force of the blows de-
livered by Nelson in the clinches.
When Britt was seen in the dressing
room after the fight he had this to say
