I want to deviate little from the criticism here, to
mention that had Nelson remained in tow of Ted Murphy
he would be less reluctant to meet these second class top
notchers. =
Do you Britt taking on Willie Lewis, Grdner or
any of those fellows who have regulations for delivering
knockout drops to all coes Britt goes after the big fish
only. He fights less frequently and does well financially
While 1 personally like Nelson's plan better than
Britt because shows the public what it wants to know,
yet realize that Britt is the best policy from the fight
RS standpoint.
To return to the two fights which have taken place since
the battle between Britt and Nelson
The Dane, by being bumped by Atell added nothing to
the self confidence which plays such important part IN
fighting while Britt convinced himself that he had i'm
proved and added steam to the waop which will be
brought into play consistently in the next battle with
Nelson.
Britt, therefore, should rule much heavier favOrite
than on the occasion of their former fight.
A Peculiar Situation
The ring has developed peculiar situations during
the years have been identified with it. One that had
forgotten until recently recalled by letter from
old friend the coast who accompanied me to battle
between Sam Fitzpatrick and Tom Ceary at the Golden
Gate club, San Francisco
have forgotten how far the battle went but believe it
was into the twentes. Both swinging wildly.
Suddenly both landed simultaneous y. Both struck the
floor at the same time The referee mixed up began to
count Before the 'out declared both to their
knees Fitzpatrick think, got up and went to his corner
His opponent remained upon his knees. 1t looked for all
the world like fake but it probably the most reals
tic affair that took place on the coast.
The winner was declared and fight followed between
those who had bet their The referee took the stand
that the who able to get up, although he didn't
have left to stand until the count finished was
entitled to the battle.
