BRITT FEARS
 TO BE FAVORITE
Believes He Can Fight Bet- ter as a Short End Man Rube Turner a Conner Another Good Bout.

What do the people you meet think of my chances of beating Nelson quizzed Jimmy Britt ,berore he left for the ocean beach. '"The majority pick you to win, |" responded the writer.
 If that is the case I will be on the long end of the betting" said Britt, who seemed rather surprised.
 Yes. you will probably be a 10 to 8 or 10 to fayorite. :"
 ''I am sorry to hear you say that, . continued Jimmy flor don't like to be on the long end, and will tell you why. When you are the favorite the public expects too much of you. They look for you to knock your opponent out in three or four rounds, and if you don't they say you are no $ y l. Even If you get the decision they don't give you the credit coming to you. When the other fellow is the favorite, and you beat him, then the public gives you your just deserts When fought Corbett l was more at ease with my self than in any other light, and hA was the favorite. Everybody thonght he would win and little was expected of me. If escaped knockout they said I would be lucky. was cool and calm, and the fact my defeat was pre- dicted on all sides did not worry me a particle Some might think that want to be on the short end for betting purposes, but there is nothing in that. don't bet enough money on myself to have the odds make much difference. Ny friends bet a great deal more money than do"
 TURNER KNOCKS OUT BENNETT.
 The six-round bout between Rufe Turner of San Francisco and Jack Bennett of McKeesport, Pa, at the GentIemen's Boxing club, Philadels phia. on Monday night last, was a short but interesting affair. Bennett, who was no match for Turner, was put to sleep in two rounds. Bennett had fifteen pounds the advantage, but his extra weight did not help him much. Turnef was all ' his man from the start. Be punched Bennett in the wind and on the jaw, and when, the first round was over Bennett was pretty tired But he fought back gamely just the same. When the gong sounded for the second round, Rufe hustled Bennett He smashed him on the jaw twice and finally sent him to the boards with 8 heavy swing on the chin. The punch was accurate and Bennett was unable to get up befor6 the count of ten. Turner's showing was excellent and. he will bear watch 4ag-in=the future ----=4 7
