VICTORY IN EIGHTEENTH
Right and Left to Jaw Settled the Cali
fornian's Fate.

ri San Francisco, Sept. lin a fight that will
long stand in a class Of its own In the history
Of rong contests, Battling Nelson, the Chicago
Dane, knocked out James Edward Britt of San
Francisco at Co1ma Saturday afternoon. The
end came in the eighteenth round and was q
clean-cut, fairlywon victory.
1t was story Of many another ring contest
fighter against clever, cool boxer. From the
very. first moment Of the fight until Referee
Graney finished the count in the eighteenth
round Of ten seconds Nelson forced the fighting.
Though battered by innumerable brutsing
blows on the face and body and at times very
hard, Nelson never for one moment gave ground.
He came back after every vicious attack by the
clever Britt, always ready to exchange blows.
For the rushing, forcing, persistent tactics of
Nelson, Britt could find no effective counter. s.,
The Californian tried every blow known to
him, and he apparently knows them all, to
stop his tireE-ss opponent. In every way he
failed It is true Britt punished Nelson Sc
7erely, knocking him down once and stagger-
ing him several timss, but never was he able
to beat him back and change the aspect Of the
fight. a-a
Victory came to Nelson in the eighteenth
round the detail Of which follows:
Britt peppered Nelson with rights and lefts
70 face. Britt sent right to Jaw. Previously
Nelson had scored with left twice to the body.
Britt continued to hook right and left to Mel
sons jaw and was met with stiff left to
stomach Britt had just scored on Nelson
jaw when suddenly Nelson shot his left and
down like a dog, gasp1ng for breath and with
the blood coming from his mouth and nose.
The fatal seconds were. counted out by Time
keeper Harting. At the call of ten Britt made
a feeble effort to rise, but Immediately fell
back utterly defeated. ~

Toledo Ohio, Sept. 11.-Norman B. Ream Of

poker game on the high seas In the middle Of
the Atlantic about week ago, which was told
In dispatches from New York. On the Kaiser
Wilhelm H. he got away with a lot of gold
that belonged to several other opponents of the
high fance business.

trustees of the Equitable Life, with Grover

expert system of playing poker.
Ream with Roll.
The Kaiser wilhelm landed In New York last
Thursday morning and Mr.. Ream stepped ashore
just SOC, 900 richer than he had been few
| hours before. The night before the landing,
the last gene played in the saloon did the trick.
The four financial stars played to a crowded
saloon. The game had been going steadily
for four or Eve days, but on Wednesday night
the limit was taken of and the hnanciers
loosened their belts and fell to.
The betting started low enough, but as the
time for play dwindled the stakes grew. Big
hand followed big hand, and at last the watchers
got universal and unanimous headache every
time they tried to count the money. Some Of
the men in the crowd, whose cigars exhaled
certain strength Of their own. decided that the
United States mint had broken loose and formed
the joint riches of both on the gaming table.
After several small jackpots Of $4,000 and
other such trivial sums, the quartet Of gamesters,
after trying to quit for long time and falling
down before the fascination of the game, agreed
on one grand finale, where all limits Of the
past were to be dwarfed and forgotten. And
then the fun began
The Fat Cat.
The hand was dealt around and the betting
started. Before the players drew cards for the
final titanic struggle there was over $4,000
in the pot. After the draw the game con-
tinued to grow faster and fercer.
Somebody bet 81, 600 and somebody raised
back, and the raising continued back and forth
and every bet higher than the one before until
somebody called. There was 100000 in the
pot when the call came. On the showdown Mr..
Ream had the high hand and he raked In the
stakes, putting him away to the good on the
nights play.

YESTERDAYS ATTENDANCE.

Minneapolis divided doube-header matinee
with Milwaukee yesterday afternoon at Mime

fell like hired plunging down the cellar
stairs with bucket Of coal Sievers pitched
the first game and had the brewers at his mercy,
athlete in the second game and lost thru ltber-
atty and the poor support Of his team mates.
The millers played fast baseball in the first
contest. They scored twice In the sixth and
twice in the eighth, after breaking the ice with
a single score in the fourth. The brewers were
shut out in prohibitive style, the play at times
being sational. Jones had another inning
with the bat in the first game and scored three
Of Minneapolis eleven hits. > Coulter and Oyler
drew two each and Friel and Fox were the only
who did not get hit off Batemans de-
livery. Fox and Oyler performed some fast
stunts around the second-base district and but
one bungle marred the play.
