At least there Is one man in the
Coast League who will not object to
the entrance of Spokane in 1906 and
he is Henry Harris, president of the
San Francisco club. In him we
have one of the strongest admirers
possible. In speaking of Spokane S
chances Mr.. Harris said that some
changes would probably be made in
the league and that the whole mat
ter would be brought up before the
next regular meeting of the direct
ors, in December.

Enterprise Association
! The Britt-Nelson fight Is now his
tory, but it will be many day be-
| fore the enthusiastic fight fans quit
talking over the great battle. Mel
son won and did it in a man
ner which left no grounds for doubt.
| His brute. force conquered brains
poorly used.
Britt forgot all about the methods
he used against the Dane on the oc-
| casion of their former meeting He
| tried to match his science and
| knowledge of boxing against phys
ical vitality, and lost out because he
resorted to methods better adapted
to the pugilist with great brute
force. Had he followed out the
method used in his first fight, the
battle would have at least gone
longer.
Had Battling Nelson been con-
suited by Britt before the fight and
| had the Dane planned the battle for
| the Californian to suit his own
methods, Brit could not have ac-
| commodated the Chicago lad more
He did just what Nelson wanted him
to do, and he got just what the Dane
had planned to give him, and in
about the same length of time as he
had counted upon in his training.
Had Britt gone ahead and match ed
his brains and great boxing ability
against Nelson's brute force, and re-
| sorted only to his scientific meth
| DDS, the same used against White,
| Sullivan and the rest of the men
he ever met, then Nelson would
| have had to go great deal fur
Their than he did, and the physical
vitality that stood him in such good
stead in that 18th round, when his
| opportunity came, would have made
the story told today probably diff
| ferent one.
| AS soon as Nelson found Britt
coming to him and mixing it up, re-
| CARELESS of the gruelng he had to
! take on account Of the superiority of
Britt's ring methods, even when the
| tactics of the born slugger were re-
| sorted to, he was satisfied. He knew
| that in that great essential, physical
vitality, he had Britt whipped and 1t
| woul dbe a question of time only.
| Britt, on the other hand, when he
| discovered that he could hit the
Dane three and four times to one
| grew confident He didn't notice
| that when he sent Nelson's head
back and rocked his whole frome,
even sending him to the floor, that
he only stirred up more Of that
| brute force which seemed to multi
ply instead of diminish.
| Finally at the end of the 18th
round he began to feel the effects,
but instead of losing confidence he
seemed to gain. " hen he stepped to
the middle of the ring l am sure he
felt as though he had Nelson
whipped.
Then came that double barrel dis
charge of right and left to the most
vulnerable of all points to fight
er's makeup, the jaw.
1t was an exact reproduction in
| nearly every respect of the fight l
had with Bob FitZsimmons at Car
son City. / am sure, however, that
the disappointment wasn't so keen.
Never did a man seem to have
such great advantage over an oppOn-
ent as 1 had in that battle. Why
there looked to be nothing to it. So
sure was / that l would win that I
would have bet more money had I
been given an opportunity. and as
1t was / had over $4,000 on the
fight personally.

was HlttinS fltZ so OFTEN init L
Carelessly fell into his way. When
nearly everyone had made up their
mind that l had the fight as good as
won the Cornishman worked in that
shift which has won him nearly all
of his battles and it was all over
but the counting His great physical
vitality had helped him withstand
all the punching l had given him,
and then still have enough left to
land the blow that meant the
world't championship and a fat
purse, equaled probably only three
times before in the annals of the
prize ring.
A special train that had been
sent to Carson City to carry me
and my party home, returned al
most empty.
Brute force seemed to be the
first thing, coming even before
science in these two battles. JEFF
fries is another fine illustration
of the fighter who uses physical
endurance to conquer his OPP
ponents..
Everybody Is wondering who
Nelson's next opponent will be.
The Dane says that Terry McGov-
ern will be given the preference.
Terry, however, is a dead one and
out of it. Joe Cans or Gardner
would be two tough nuts to crack
and his chances to win would be
only about even.
If Nelson is sincere In what he
said about meeting any man in
the world he will soon be seen in
the ring again Cans is probably
entitled to the most consideration.
Alaska has now gone by the
boards. The latest from the land
of ice and snow is that the misis-
ters have taken a stand and will
allow no more ring sport. Phila-
delphia Jack O'Brien has been try
ing to get back home from the
land of the frozen north. The
other day Jack ran into a snog in
the form of big miner and al
was all but knocked out in one of
the rounds. He was revived, how
ever. and won the decision.
Eddie raney's exhibition of ref
erecting in the Nelson-Britt fight was
the fairest l have ever seen. Neither
boy could say that he had given him
the worst of it.
Had Jeffhries refereed l am sure
there would have been n kick. He
would have probably favored Britt
where he could and when compelled
to break the little fellows jeff would
have been able to give Britt great
material assistance.
Graney could not have been i'm
proved upon.
Speaking of referees, recalls old
Jack McAulife. If there was ever
an unlucky man, it was Jack. He
seconded losing fighters in three
worlds championship matches.
McAuliffe was in the corner of
Cal Mccarthy when the pugilistic
| light lost the title to Geo. Dixon in
skating rink at Troy, N. Y. Nc
Auliffeff was also behind Dempsey
when freckled Bob Fitzsimmons put
him forever out of the business.
Jack was also in the ring the night l
I fought Sullivan at New Orleans.
This may not be proud record,
but 1t Is the only time. I believe, on
record where second was in the
corner behind lightweight, a
heavyweight and middleweight
when they lost their titles.

The Raleigh Morning Post heartily con-
ours in hotsiggestiont recently made that
n Southern editorial association be form.
cd, and reproduces with comment an
article which, recently appeared In the
Times Dispatch.

the South united in u strong organiza-
ton for the INDUSTRIAL progress and ma
itcrlal advancement of this section tho
results would be great. The idea Is not
n new one but tho time seems about
ripe now to put It into notion"
The newspapers Of the South arc I'M
selfish, public.spirited and chivalrous.
They arc always willing and ever anxious
TO do what they may to promote. South
ern interests in whatever direction. and
1t goes without saying that they could
accomplish more If they would form an
organization for cooperation along ccr-
tain defined lines The combined force

In the association. The editors them
selves would ind pleasure and profit In
meetings hold occasionally for tho
discussion Of public questions pertaining
TO tho South, and every paper which helps
the section in which 1t Is located ncccs-
surily helps Itself.
Nobody Is claiming any credit or trying
to get any credit for suggesting the
plan. 1t grew naturally out of the occasion
when the Virginia and North Carolina
editors recently met in joint session, and
when the question was first introduced
in II company of editors Of both States
1T was found That the same thought mad
occurred to several of them. Let us
hive tho Southern Editorial Association.
1t would be a worthy and a useful organl-
cation.

The Meredith Plan.

We print elsewhere i'll to-day's paper
communication from Mr.. T. a. Brown
OF Prince George county, in which he
asks two questions, concerning Richmond
city politics
To tho first question we reply that the
CITY Democratic Committee was elected
by the Democrats of Richmond, and that
The committee has full authority to name
Judges of election In the Forthcoming
primary. No one has disputed that iact'
Tho gentleman who proposed that the
committee allow three prominent citizens
10 nominate ono judge of election at each
precinct was Mr. Charles Y. Mere9ith,
than whom no citizen stands higher Tor
integrity and character He is the friend
If Governor Montague In. the present SEN
atoriala. contest, but two of the COM
Inittccmcn proposed by him are the
ayowed friends of Senator Martin. Ac-
cordingly there was no Intention on the
part OF Mr.. Meredith to gain for Cover
nor Montague any advantage over Senator
Martin in the plan which he proposed.
10 the second question wo reply that
Mr. Browns insinuation that This was
the scheme of some trickcry politicians
is utterly without foundation and Is mn
unwarranted reflection upon Mr.. Mere
ath and his associates If there is any
man in Richmond or elsewhere who IS
above trickery Of any character, that man
is Charles v. Meredith. lilo Is indeed. II
friend OF the primary election princlple'
and 1t Is his desire that the Richmond
urinary shall be the means Of ascertain
Ing the exact choice of the Democratic
voters of this city In the contests now
pending .;betwcen the several candidates
for Democratic honors. 1t was to hclp,
rather than in any way TO hinder the
primary, that he made his proposal
1.-The right OF petition Is fundamental
right of the American citizen. and Mr..
Meredith exercised that right when he
petitioned the City Committee to adopt
his plan. Several OF the best and most
prominent members OF the committee,
30 far from taking any offcnse, heartily
approved the Meredith plan and voted for
II. 1t was proposed that tho citizens Of
Richmond contribute to a fund TO pay the
expenses OF the primary, and Mr.. Mere
dith, requested that committee of cit
liens be allowed to name one judge IN
each precinct, the City Committee itself
TO name the other two Judges. There was
nothing undemocratic In 1t, nothing I'M
proper, nothing in any way tending TO
injure, but rather to promote, tho primary
election principle, TO dlsarm criticism and
to make the election not only fair, but
above suspicion.
In point OF fact the committee did final
~ agree TO surrender its right to name all
the Judges OF election, hut instead OF
adopting the Meredith plan, proposed to
allow the candidates themselves 10 nom
mate. II It was undemocratic for the com
mitiee 10 allow the committee OF citizens
to nominate judges, II YVES equally ,indem-
ocratic to allow candidates TO do so. After
that action 1t Is too late for any Dem
oerat to stand UP and plead thai the
Meredith plan Was undcmoaatIc.
