KNOCKED OUT JIMMY BRITT AT
SAN FRANCISCO.
They Fought 10 of the Fastest Rounds
Ever Seen-BrItt Had Best of Fight
Until Last Few Rounds-Graney
Was Referee and Gave Entire Salts
facton--Stomach Blow Did 1t.

San Francisco.-In a fight that will
long stand in a class of its own in the
history of ring contests, Battling Mel
son, the sturdy little Dane from H.
linois, knocked out James Edward
Britt of San Francisco at Colma Sat
urday afternoon.
The end came in the 18th round and
was a clean cut, fairly won victory.
This is a simple statement of the re-
suit; the story of the battle itself fur
nishes a thrilling story. No element
that goes to give the fight the superla-
tive title of greatest" was missing
1t was the story of many another
ring contest-the success of the strong
sturdy, enduring fighter against a
clever, cool boxer. This, in brief is
the description of Nelson's and Britts
characteristics, respectively. From the
very first moment of the fight until
Referee Graney finished the count of
lU, Nelson forced the fighting. Though
battered by innumerable bruising
blows upon the face and body and
at times very tired, Nelson never for
one moment gave ground. He came
back after every vicious attack by the
clever Britt, always ready to exchange
blows.
For these rushing, forcing persistent
tactics of Nelson Britt could find no
effective counter. Inc Californian
tried every blow known to him-and
he apparently knows all of them-to
stop his tireless opponent. In every
was he failed. 1t is true Britt pun
ished Nelson severely, knocking him
down once and staggering him several
times, but never was he able to beat
him back and change Uue aspect of the
fight.

All Britt's in the Third.

Only once, in the third round, did it
appear to those close enough to Judge
the tide OF battle that Britt might
win. In this round he reached the
most vulnerable spot on Nelson's mus
Gle armOred body-hls stomacn-With
two terrInc right hand blows that car
ried Furnishing force behind them. Mel
son faltered for moment and doubled
over. Quickly turning his attention to
Nelson's face, Brl,L sent in a terrific
right cross that dropped the Dane to
his knees. There was a great shout
from Britts friends, but the elation
was shortlived. Nelson got up before
the timer could reach the count of two
and fought the only way he knows how
to tight-always coming toward his
man. At this critical ,4me for Nelson
the gong sounded for a rest, most
cheerful note to the Nelson supporters.
The call of time for the succeeding
round, however, found the much bat
tered Battler fresh and ready to re-
sumo.
Nelson was always the first to begin
rounds, though not always the first to
land a blow. Time after time he would
glide along after Britt, much after the
style of Fitzsimmons, never clever on
his feet, but always seeking to shorten
the distance between his opponent and
himself This tireless persistency-a
most discouraging LnIng to the oppos-
ing tighter-and his marvellous disre-
gard of physical punishment, won the
fight for Nelson.
After his most successful rally In the
third round, the popular little Califor-
mia fighter weakened. Many OF his
friends seated very cIose to the ring
side saw the change and ventured the
prediction that nelson would win.
Britt had done his best In the third.
He had used all his strength, all his
cleVerness and all his blows; yet, he
failed to achieve a knockout.
He appeared to realize as he took
his corner after the fourth round that
he was unable to hurt his opponent.
Nelson also seemed to reach this de-
cision at the same Lme and subse-
quCALly lOOh DIllI Dlo"S Win LuOL q
confidence and without flinching.
Except in spots the rounds were all
pretty much alike, Nelson always fore
ing, Britt always giving ground; Britt

snappy left hand and the Dane using
every means to get inside the circum-
ference of the clever Californian's two

down the defense or accepted the
blows aimed at him. he would hammer
away at the body, always coming out
of a clinch with swinging attempts at
