Dane Defeats Jimmy Britt With

San Francisco, Sept. lin a fight
that will stand in a class by itself in
the history of ring contests, Battling
Nelson, the sturdy little Dane from
Illinois, knocked out James Edward
Britt, of San Francisco, at COlma Sat
urday afternoon. The end came in the
18th round. and was clean-cut, fairly
won victory.
The story of the battle furnishes a
thrilling story. No element that goes
to give the fight the superlative title
of greatest" was missing. The sur
roundings, the crowd, the known bit
terness of the men toward each other,
the uncertainty as to whether there
would be a fight at all up to within
brief quarter of an hour before the
fight actually began, the cleverness,
gameness and endurance displayed by
the two BOXERS these are what made
the fight a great one.
Nelson Was Aggressive.
From the very first moment of the
fight until Referee Graney finished the
count of 10 seconds, Nelson forced the
fighting. Though battered by innumer-
able bruising blows on the face and
body, and at times very tired, Nelson
never for one moment gave ground. He
came back after every vicious attack
by the clever Britt, always ready to ex-
change blows. For the rushing, fore
ing. persistent tactics of Nelson, Britt
could find no effective counter.
Only once, in the third round, did it
appear to those close enough to judge
the tide of battle, that Britt might win.
In this round he reached the most vul-
nerable spot on Nelson's muscle-armor-
ed body-his stomach-with two ter
rife right-hand blows that carried pun
ishing force behind them. Nelson fal-
tered for a moment and doubled over.
Quickly turning his attention TO Mel
sons face, Britt sent a terrific right
cross that dropped the Dane to his
knees. There was a great shout from
| Britt's friends. but the elation was
short-lived. as Nelson got up before the
timer could reach the count OF two and
fought the only way he knows how 10
| fight-always coming toward his man.
Britt Loses Subtility.
After his most successful rally in
the third round, the popular little Cali
fornian fighter weakened. Many OF
his friends seated very close TO the
ringside saw the change and yentured
a prediction that Nelson would win.
The agreement OF the two men to
break at the call of the referee and the

and their strict enforcement was much
