san Francisco, May 6-James p. Britt
of San Francisco became champion
lightweight of the world last night when
he got the decision over Jabez White OF
England. at the close Of a twenty-round
fight. with just twenty seconds to go
Britt hooked the Englishman with a lett
on the paw and the latter went to the
mat, where he lay fiat on his back Tor
eight seconds. He staggered to his feet
but was powerless to defend himself and
Britt swung right and left on his jaw.
The referee, 10 save the plucky English
man from needless punishment stopped
the contest, although White was on his
feet leaning up against the ropes in a
HELPLESS condition. White was carried to
his corner and in few minutes revived
sufficiently to make little speech, in
which he said: Il fought the best knew
how. I received fair play, but Britt is
evidently the better man"
Britts victory was loudly proclaimed
by the people, of his home town, but
White. though defeated man. was cheer
ed just as vociferousy for the fight he
made.
ENGLIsHAIAN A GOOD FIGHTER.
All through the battle White showed
that he was a clever boxer and an ex-
perienced ring general He landed on
Britts jaw many times with both right
and left. but apparently did not hurt him
In the twelfth round it looked as though
White had a chance. He landed a vicious
straight right on Britts jaw. and Brit
went to the floor ana rolled under the
ropes. He was not hurt and came bacl
lighting faster than ever.
/ Britt paid a tribute to White by saying
that he is the oleverest boxer in tn
world. "He stalled and blocked and KEEP
me away in manner that was neve
done before" said the champion "Ha,
he came at me and led I could have fin
ished him sooner, as he would have lef
more openings"
"A LIZ y Eli EAtlBlIlON.
1t was by long odds the cieverest exhi
bition that has been seen in recent year
In San Francisco. Britt demonstrates
what his admirers have always said. that
although he is not a showy boxer he
a hard man to hit
George Harting, timekeeper, said tina
it was the most clever and scientific 6gh
he had ever seen. white is a marvel O
sknl and ring generalship," he said, "bu
al his science was of no avail agains
the persistent attacks of Britt"
Britt after the fight, declared his will
ingness to meet Battling Nelson, and it
probable that the next important contes
to be given here will be between thes
two men, after the Dane returns fror
Philadelphia for which place he left tc
