IS UP TO BRITT.

Pugilist James Britt has been placed on the edefensiye by an open statement rom Battling Nelson's manager, Billy
 Nolan, to the effect that Britt did not sidestep Nelson solely because he want ed to meet Jabez White in,artmterna-
 tional contest, but for the reason that
 Nelson refused to Hay down" to him in another fight. Before forfeits were
 posted' said Nolan in Frisco yester- day. "and before the terms of agree ment for match with Britt were talked over, the latter's brother came to me and said: You know that this af- fair will have to be fixed up before We sign articles. Jimmy cannot afford to take any chances. Nelson will have to agree to quit or else there will be no fight as far as Britt's cOncernel.' l told Britt's brother that there could be no such arrangement, and that if Britt wanted to fight Nelson he would have to meet him in a fight on the level That settled the matter and Britt turn ed Nelson down for White.' Britt and his brother both deny this statement and have wired White to come on to Frisco at once. It is believed that Nd Ian may have adopted these tactics to force Britt into a fight. NOlan's asser- tiCn, however. recalls Britt's queer looking fight with Joe Cans, in winch the Baltimore negro, although clearly outfought. won on suspicious looking foul. Britt. according to many eastern fight experts. .is 'favOrite son" on the coast. and cannot lose a fight when the right influences are exerted. It is said that he has been afraid Of Nelson ever since his 20 round fight with the Dane, in which the latter lost on points. but would probably have won if the af- fair had gone to finish.

slderation and it is necessary that every manager should be present. | PLACES CLEVELAND, ONE, TWO. Elmer Flick, the heavy hitting Cleveland Outtielder, denies that there
 was any friction on the team last year. He says it was hard luck rath- CT than lack of harmony that kept the "fencesmashers" out from under the pennant.
 There was more harmony on the Cleveland team last season than any other team in the league,'' says Flick. Friction? If there was any it was mighty we'll concealed. No. sir. it was accidents that put us out of 1t.
 Wait until Boston or New York strikes the run of luck that befell us and I'll wager that the critics will not say it was lack of harmony.
 :Where would Collins have been last year if he had had Parent cut of the game for fifty-three days? Where would he have been had any of his tWirlers been out of it for weeks? Where would New York have been had either Powell or Chesbro been laid up for an indefinite period, as were most of our pitchers?
 Cleveland did not have Moore in shape at the start or the finish. Jess never was good until August. Dona- hue was out for several weeks with a broken finger, and Bernhard caught such cold in his pitching arm in the opening game that it was months be- fore he was right. There was hardly a day all year that we had a catcher free from injuries.
 Then we had Larry out of the game, we had Lush and Bay out. In fact, Bradley and myself were the only two to go through the season without injuries. I am quite opti- mistic this year and feeling that it can scarcely be our lot to have apoth- CT year of accidents. I am picking Cleveland to finish one, two"

 BOTHNER AFTER THE JAP.
 George Bothner is ..hot foot after the opponents of jiu jitsu. as the fol- lowing letter to a New York sporting writer clearly shows:
 For the past two months l have been after Prof Higashi hot foot for a trial or match at his favorite and much heraldei art of jiu jitsu. but have met with little or no success. The wiley Japanese exponent of the secret and sacred method of bone crushing has dodged the issue.
 While acknowledging that I know little or nothing of the Japanese art. I am egotistical enough to believe that I have the good old American game of wrestling thoroughly mastered and feel that I can overcome any tricks or al- legged bone-breaking devices that the Japanese professor can employ.
 Notwithstanding the fact that I have repeatedly challenged him and that he has as often side stepped me. he has the effrontery to challenge Jim Jefries to a contest Why should he go after a man weighing over 20 pounds and pass me up when I can scale in at 35 pounds. I stand ready to demonstrate that I am his master in trial of strength and skill and am confident enough to assert that the pro lessor will wAct F, Dart of LnEes a frer le hss a.d a crack at me.
