WAITING FOR GONG
White and Britt in Shape for Their
Fight Tonight

San Francisco Cal. May 5.-Jabez White is
ready for Jimmy Britt to decide the interna-
tionnl lightweight championship at Woodward's
pavilion tonight.
DR.. Apple the Hayes Valley clubs physician.
visited Whites camp yesterday and made Il
physical examination of him and took his meas
urements. White is considerably taller than
Britt, has longer reach and bigger chest
expansion. which are matters that should not he
fighter. In other respects White and Britt are
built on much the same plan.
White is fawless as far as condition is con-
cerned. and 1t is doubtful If Britt ever felt
or looked more like fighting machine than
he does now. Several small bets at 1 to 2.
