For about two years she was at the West Chester county hospital in Pennsyl- vania in training for nurse, but was called home by the death of her father, nearly two years ago. She was member of the Congregational church, a teacher in the Sunday school, member of the Christian Endeavor society and of the choir, and will be greatly missed in the social life of the young people. She was of a lively, cheerful temperament, the joy and comfort of her mothers heart and of the household from which hers is the fifth death which has occurred in period of three years. First, two aunts, then grandmother, follow ed soon atfer by the death of her father. Besides her mother, she leaves a younger brother, Charles W. Pease, employed in Smith & Wessons' in Springfield.

Eddie, on the surface. looks TO be a
much easier proposition for the unre-

this probably explains his action in the
O'Keefe affair. Hanlon and Fitz will
meet at 133 pounds, ringside. and if
the latter can make the weight, he
should win. as he seems to have it on

By CHIP.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19-Now that the long
hoped-for Britt-NeIson match has finally
been consummated, interest in the con-
test will overshadow anything else doing
in the fight game until the battle has
been fought.
The difficulty in getting the men to-
gether has contributed not a little to
bring the affair prominently into public
notice, and for this due credit must be
given the enterprising Britt family, who
have played a shrewd, waiting game
from the very outset, and when they
saw that the time was ripe clinched the
match, after forcing Nelson and his
manager to aCcede to conditions hith-
erto unheard OF in the history of the
prize ring. However. these conditions
are so manifestiy unjust and SAVIOR so
strongly of shylockism of the worst
type, that sportdom generally. even in
cluding most of the California branch
Of the fraternity, viii pull harder than
ever for Nelson to win the fight
If anyone of any prominence in the
pugilistic world thinks Britt has more
than an outside chance TO win, he has so
far not been heard from. Britt, himself.
of course talks very confidently, but the
chances are, that way down in his heart
he feels differently. He probably re-
allied when he made the match that he

money probably more than the publish

even in California, was rapidly declin-
ing by reason of his long-continued eva

The general opinion seems to be that
the long route over which the boys are
scheduled TO trayeI-1fty rounds-wiIl
suit Mr.. Nelson to a nicety, and this
conclusion is based on the bows previ-

The universal dope" on the fight is
that Nelson. even If he cannot reach
Britt during the first ten or fifteen
rounds with any great effectiveness, will
eventually tire out his clever antagon-
ist and wear him down, gradually but
surely to the vanishing point Nelson
has demonstrated on many occasions
that he has something that Britt does
not possess-the knockout punch, and
at the same time. he can go along and
absorb ali that Jimmy can hand him
until the Californian is too far gone TO
be considered any longer a factor.
OF course, Britt's training for the oc-
casion will be devoted principally to

ing the hardest possible blow he is ca
pable of producing and it may be that
he will spring a surprise at the proper
time.
Analyzing the two men as fighters,
however. it really seems to the writer
that Britt is not and never has been
in Nelson's class. All Britt's victories
have been won at home, under condi-
tions that are too well known TO need
repetition. and IN no case has he won
with a knockout. On the two occa-
sions that he strayed from his native
city ne lost one fight and drew in an
other. On the other hand. Nelson has
campaigned all over the West, in not
one instance having the smallest
