and nobody much cared. 1t was a.
high-falutin' set of field sports, any
how. and the more nixup there was
the funnier things happened to be. The
consequence is that no one knew who
was entitled to prizes, and nobody wor-
ried about them and the fellows that
got them secured them by smere fool
luck and accident, anyhow.
It was o'clock when this hilarity
ended. Part of the afternoon was given
up to "strolls," but 1t was a brave Elk
who dared take girl more than ten
feet from the throng and hear the howls
that went up. Girls were too scarce
for any monopoly and they simply had
to ''stay with the herd" And when the
train pulled back for Los Angeles it was
readily noted that each woman had her
own select throng Of men friends. and
there was no "herding by twos" at all,
at all.

They wasted no time. Britt followed
exactly the same tactics as in preced-
ing rounds. He fought carefully, land
ing two or three blows to Nelson's one.
Britt was forced to do a lot of fancy
foot work to keep away from Nelson.
Both bled from lefts to the head. Mel

Britt staggering. They mixed 1t, Mel
son having all the better of it. Britt

more than able to lift their hands.

Round Fourteen
Nelson came up stronger and went
at his man. Britt was weak and stalled.
Nelson got ins close and beat Britt back.
There was a great shout from the
crowd. Britt staggered about Swing"

swung and slIlgged at close range and
there was noa: much advantage for a
while. They forgot all they knew
about clevern,ess and slugged as never
men slugged. Britt suddenly rallied,
staggering Nelson with right and lefts
and forced the Dane to clinch and hold.

Britt drove him back for moment

still the Battler came on. This was
the slowest round thus far.
Round Eleven
There was good deal of stalling By
Britt, Nelson forcing him about the
ring. Occasionally Britt ripped his left
to the body but 1t did not seem to stop
Nelson. He came on. taking jabs and
trying all the time to get to close
quarters. Britt sent his right over to
the jaw and took left on the sore nose
in return. They got in close, both try
ing for the body without effect. Britt
drove his right to the head but got
two lefts on the stomach. Nelson
blocked many >of Britt's blows with
his elbows and shoulders. He had the
most strength and whenever he landed

Round Twelve
Nelson walked into several left jabs
that started the flow of blood, but came
right on without hesitation. Britt
drove a terrific left to the stomach that
hurt Nelson. He fell upon the Battlor
and rained blows on the head. but was
blocked in his attempts to reach the
stomach Nelson could not reach Britt
except at close range and Britt kept
him from coming in close whenever he
could. He sent the Battler back
with a left on the nose,
it up with perfect shower
of blows on the head and stomach.
Nelson covered UP and took the blows,
coming out of the clinch with a rush
for more. The remarkable ability of
Nelson to take punishment was never

Mlrth at EIks' Hall

Mirth spelled in capitals and accented
on each letter in nine words describes
the high jinks and social session which
closed the annual reunion of the Elks
last night in Elks' hall. The session"
began and ended with the singing of
"Hot Time" and before the high jinks
came to close at 00:0o this morning
there were few other songs thrown in
between.
There was a short business session
early in the evening at which the Long
Beach herd made strong play for the
next annual reunion at that city, and
carried off the honor with little or no
competition. t
Then business gave way to pleasure,
the orchestra started up something that
sounded like Throw Out the Life Line"
and nearly 1000 Elks took up the tune
and carried it to its completion.
The address of the evening was made
by the Rev. Mr.. Lee, late of Lexington,
KY, who will deliver the sermon at the
Episcopal church, Flower and Figueroa
streets, this morning, and as mark Of
respect the Elk assembly will attend in
a body.
The Hottentot quartet Of Santa Ans
with their songs and dances added to
the enjoyment of the evening and re-
sponded to encores until their voices
gave out and their legs refused to
work.
The Angelus quartet of San Diego
succeeded them and proved fully as
pupular with their songs and ditties.
There were liberal intermissions be-
tween the numbers, during which the
social sessions held full sway.

to the face, cutting Nelson's right
cheek just before the gong sounded.
Round Eight
Both tired. Nelson came after Britt
every moment. taking half dozen stiff
jabs in the nose, hoping to come in
close. They exchanged lefts to the
face and in getting away Britt was
tripped by Nelson. To show that 1t was
not intentional Nelson offered his hand
and they shook. Britt had Nelson in
trouble with lefts to the stomach. A
left hook to the jaw staggering Britt,
and Nelson came at him like tiger.

Britt obeyed Instructions. In terrific
exchange Nelson staggered Britt with
a left but got almost as much as he
gave. They were both tired but slugged
without cessation. Britt beat Nelson
Dane very tired and shaky at the end.
Round Nine
Britt showed the effects OF the pace
but cleverly avoided Nelson for some
time before they came together. In the
clinches that ensued without blows
Nelson showed mores strength. He
missed a long swinging left that would
probably have ended matters had 1t
landed. Britt drove left and right to
the face, and left to the body in quick
succession. Nelson landed two left
hooks on the fact and got left on the
stomach. Britt fought cleverly, and
taking advantage of a good opportunity
drove both hands to Nelson's face,
staggering him. Nelson's face was
badly cut at this stage. Britt also
showed marks of the terrific batter.
At the gong they were standing in the
center with heads together and swing

Round Ten
| Nelson showed a disposition to make

trying with both hands for the head,
but missed. Britt pounded his nose
with straight left jabs, occasionally
ripping the right to the body. Nelson's
