MS condition seemed to be perfect.
Whfte, too. entered the ring In better

reason to expect. The Britisher seemed to
take kindly to this climate. and from the

Few notables from out of town were
present to see the fight. with the exception
of an influx of British residents from the
cities up and down the coast.
AT the ringSide these visitors enliyened
things a bit by swapping up some of the
odds offered against their countryman. and
when White entered the ring they gave
him a luSty greeting.

There was little excitement at Corbett's

noon of the contest. Both men easily came
within the specified notch. According to
statements made by pool Sellers where
wagers were secretly made, the speculation
on the result was light. Britt opened q

BRITT BEAT WHITE.
Fight Went Twenty Rounds and Was
Won on Points

James Britt of California. was given the
decision over Jabez White of England, at
San Francisco lastnight In the twentieth
round Of fight for the International
lightweight championship of the world.
It was feared that there would be only a
small crowd on hand to witness the boat
between White and Britt. even considering
the importance of the contest. which was
for the lightweight championship of the
world. This was due partly to the fear that
some action might be taken by the police
to prevent the fight as the result of fetid
between the several promoters. The grand
jury of San Francisco met yesterday after
noon to discuss the situation. but afr much
argument It was decided that the jury had
no authority to stop the fight. as the per-
NIT had been regularly granted by the
board of supervisors.
But at 9:55 o'clock every seat In the pa
vili0n was taken. and there was an over
dow into the gallery.
