Pugilist BIRTHS Arm Fractured.

Il turns out now that Jimmy Britt fought
Young Corbett after the eighth round with
a fractured right forearm. This arm has
been so sore since the battle that yesterday
at San Francisco, Britt consulted an X-ray
specialist Under tie light it was found
that the swollen arm was fractured and the
doctor insisted upon putting 1t in splints.
He says it will be several months before
Britt can fight, as his fracture is at the
same place the bone was injured in Britt's
fight with Candle. The fact that Britt
fought twelve rounds practically single
handed has greatly increased the confidence
in his ability. his best blow is a right
handler to the body, which he was unable to
use.
Britt's brother had conference with Pol
lock in San Francisco yesterday. but Cor
belts manager received little encourage
ment for a fight speedily. Willie Britt sid
Corbett had kept Jimmy waiting for year
and now he could do little waiting him
self.
Late yesterday afternoon Pollock had an
other conference with Willie Britt. who
represents Jimmie as business manager.
Britt promised to give Young Corbett pref
erence in making any match, but said it
would be impossible to name a date. He
thought perhaps Britt would be able to
fight by August Pollock declared this date
would be satisfactory.

VICTORY FOR GEORGETOWN.
Villa Nova Team Unable to Hit Blue
and Gray Pitchers.

Georgetown's base balfnine gave the villa
Nova College team Of eastern Pennsylvania
handsome licking yesterday afternoon on
the local field. The, opponents of the boys
on the heights had just come from a signal
victory over Virginia last Saturday and
they were in good spirits under the coach

hero in the coaching line but they either
failed to get limbered up quickly enough
after their travels or were more benumbed
than the defenders Of the blue and gray by
the chilling river blast that sprung up dur

best score they could come away with was

good work in the outfield and after the first
half of the seventh inning twirled the ball
to advantage The first part Of the game
was well pitched for Georgetown by Joe
Senz, the Villa Novas failing to get many
good hits from him. but doubtless Coach
Moran took him out in order to warm up
the newer pitcher for the Yale game later
in the week. when he will go against
Mackay, formerly crack twirler of
Georgetown.
Some good work was done on the part of
the villa Novas by Pitcher Ogarra, First
Baseman Mcclellan and Right Fielder

the visitors found it hard to hit George

pretty easy to touch theirs

IMMUNITY OF RUSSIAN ROADS.
Surprise Expressed Over Japs' Exemp-
ton of Cars Railways.

y cablegram from London says: The MILL
tary correspondent of the Times writes as
follows:
Not the least of the surprises of the war
has been the immunity of the Russian rail
ways from destruction. and even attempts
at demolition. Yet the japanese had studied
the whole theater before the outbreak of
the war. and know more about the country
and the population outside of the immediate
neighborhood of the railway land Russian
garrisons than do the Russians themselves.
There has been ample times for the dis
patch of emisSaries and rading parties
landed during the night from various points
on the coast toward the interior. and ii Is
difficult to account for the immunity of the
Russian lines of communicate oH except I'M
der the assumption that the japanese are
wanting in resource and audacity, or under
the alternative assumption that prepara-
lions have been made and that at a given
signal on given day and hour they will
reach the stage of execution.
Jap Intelligence Not Doubted.
Nothing that has yet occurred entities

resourcefulness of the japanese. We are.
therefore forced to fall back upon the other
alternative and believe that the hour for
action has not yet struck and will synchro-
nize with the blow by the main army.

Japanese army threatening Vladivostok?
Can the Russian army exist In the Liau
valley with its communication destroyed?
Can it, without the aid of a railway, retrace
its steps to Hardin? Is not the Russian
army as much tied to the railway as we
were In South Africa? Is not the security
of the single line even more vital to Russia
than was that of the three alternative lines
