BRITT WON

Jimmy Britt OF San Francisco is light
weight champion OF the world. He defeat
ed Jabez White. the English champion,
last night by what was really the knock
out route in the 10Th round. He had been
sent TO the mat with two terrific blows,
landing full on the face with left and
right and before he had recovered he re-
ceived a perfect hurricane OF blows about
the head which drove him helpless man
to the ropes He could fight no more and
Referee Smith gave a well-earned decision
TO the pride Of California.
Britt showed fine spirit by walking 10
the centre OF the ring and calling for
three creers for the great little Briton.
and the latter. as soon as he recovered
sufficiently. showed that he was not one
whit less generous by declaring To the
crowd that the best man had won.
II was a sensational fight for the first
10 rounds White may be said to have held
his own. though the blows he received
from Britt were more than the blows he
delivered He had learned that Britt could
deliver hard punches and was more in
clined 10 block and counter than to fight
back
From the 18th round on Britt was the
aggrtssor at all times. He fought vicious
ly, and his blows were better and harder
placed than White could deliver. His
Britt's left 20 the body showed him the
best man. This most effective punch Britt
sent home repeatedly. II weakened White
and showed him up many times, when he
seemed to have started well toward
strong work.
Whites style is something like that OF
Martin Canole. except that he spreads his
legs and crouches lower. He is the same
clever handed fighter and his good
right cross coming White was failing
from the 18th. and did little leading. but
at the opening Of the 18th It appeared
more than likely that he would last the
fight out He would have done 80 had
Britt been less strong. but Jimmy had the
punch IN and he placed II on the jaw
when White was weakest and less able to
stand its crushing effect.
White. to all intents. was knocked out.
He was helpless. and the decision giving
Britt the championship was well merited.

Brain workers suffer from

this weakens the brain power,
and robs the memory.

disturbance is frequently ex-

are convenient to take-just a
little tablet, that in few mo-

leave no disagreeable after

TERRIBLE FATE
OF LITTLE BOY
John Roddy, Seven Years Old,
Struck by Train.
WAS CROSSING THE TRACKS
The Locomotive Severed His Head, Arms
and Legs Several Other Children
Had Narrow Escape.

John Roddy. seven years old. son OF
Patri7k and Mary Roddy OF 149 West
River street, was killed and his body
-shocktngiy mangled- by an -inward-bound
Blackstone train at $50 o'clock yester-
day afternoon.
The accident occurred near the bridge
which spans the Consolidated tracks at
the foot OF West River street.
The Roddy boy with several playmates
OF his own age had been frolicsing in
the yard at the rear of Darling's box
shop.
The lads had. as were their custom,
stopped there on the way home from
school
The road bed OF the Consolidated COM
pany extends along the rear Of the Rhode
Island Tool works and several other
manufacturing concerns and a fence
separates these from the tracks
At the foot OF West River street some
of the boards OF that fence had been
removed and the school children were
accustomed at times 10 take advantage
of that opening to make a short cut for
home.
On this occasion the Roddy boy sug-
gested crossing the tracks.
Unfortunately at the very time the
boys elected 10 take TO that dangerous
and forbidden path a train was due from
Blackstone.
The instant the boys appeared on the
roadbed side OF the fence Engineer AL
bert Smith saw them and gave several
blasts upon the whistle.
All save the Roddy boy leaped 70 one
side and escaped injury.
Johnnie however. appeared TO be para
lyzed by fright, for he tripped and fell
just in front of the locomotive. the
wheels OF which literally ground him TO
pieces.
His head, arms and legs were COM
pletely severed. and for a space OF %
feet the tracks were stained with his
blood.
The boys father, who is employed in
the tool works, was sent for and broke
the terrible news TO his wife.
Medical Examiner Perkins gave a per-
NIT for burial.
