lightly, and then White tried left and right twice for the face without avail. They went to the center of the ring and
 exchanged lefts and rights as the bell rang. & l
 Round 2O-Theya resumed and White
 sailed in, missing Britt's face. The pace
 was quiekened but the blows were easi-
 ly blocked Both men fought at close
 quarters with White mostly on the de- fensive. Britt suddenly landed vic ious right on the body and in some in fighting failed to connect with right and left for the jaw. Britt was careful, realizing that apparently the decision was his. The referee had to separate the men from a clinch and then Britt again put a righte to. the body and
 brought his right and left with fearful force to Whites jaw, sending Khite 10 1 the floor very groggy. When the Brit
 isher rose. Britt went at him like a demon and sent him clear across the right with right and left smasbes to the face. The round was nearly over at this stage, but the police jumped into l the ring and stopped the contest. Britt 1 was declared the winner amidst tre- 1 mendous excitement. | With just twenty seconds to go, Britt
 hooked the Englishman with left on
 the jaw and the latter went to the mat,
 where he lay fiat on his back for eight seconds. He staggered to his feet but
 was oowerless to defend himself, and Britt swung right and left on his jaw. The referee. to save the plucky Eng
 lishman from needless punishment, | stopped the contest, although White
 was on his feet leaning up against the
 ropes in a helpless condition, White
 was carried te his corner and in few minutes revived sufficiently to make a I little speech in which he said:
 T fought the best knew how I received fair play, but Britt is evidently | the better man.

He was tremendously cheered. Up to
 the ninth round the fighting was even.
 In the tenth Britt's blows seemed to
 have more power than his opponents.
 In the twelfth White fioored Britt with
 a straight left to the face. White con-
 tinued his clever blocking in the thir-
 teenth, fourteenth, fifteenth and six
 teenth rounds, but Britt was beginning
 to land more frequently.
 Round 17-The usual opening clinch
 followed. Britt missed twice with left
 for the face and head, and attempts by
 both with right and left swings were
 wild. Finally Britt shot two lefts to
 Whites face and they went to a clinch.
 Breaking away, Britt shot his left out rather low and there was some hissing.
 Britt hooked his left to the body and
 then varied with right to the head.
 White fought back rather feebly and
 appeared to have lost all his steam.
 Britt swung a hard left to the jaw and then crushing right caught White on the jaw. Britt was over-anxious to put in a finishing blow and his subsequent attempts were rather wild. He was cautioned by his attendants to fight carefully. Round 1s-Britt rushed but failed te i, land. A left. hook for the body was blocked and then both missed lefts ano rights to the face. Coming out from clinch, Britt swung left. and right tt | the jaw, and an instant later planted 9 vicious left hook to the body. Britt got careless and White shot a right hard tc the face by way of diversion. Brit ], forced White around and landed a Ter hook to the body. White was still oi the defensive. Just before the gont sounded, Britt. hooked his left to th' face and the Englishman slowly am bled to his, corner. s....
 Round 19-Britt lunged out with lef and was blocked. He kept forcing th' pace and missed left and rights for tn. body.

Honors were comparatively even in this round. . Tn the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds the men kept up a terrific pace.
