FIGHT PICTURES A SUCCESS
NeIson-Britt Contest, Reproduced al
the Casino Theater, Is Remark
ably Clear

The moving pictures of the Nelson
Britt fight at Colma, which will be
the attraction at the Casino theater
for the coming two weeks, were dis
played in a private exhibition at the
play house last evening, and from the
expressions of the men who sat at the
ring side the films are the finest rep
resentations of any fight in the his
tory of the prize ring.
Theater men say that Nolan, Nell
sons manager, who sold his right to the
pictures for $4,000, made the mistake of
his life and the revenue which the
Britt boys will obtain from their share
in the enterprise should put them on
easy street for life.
Every movement and emotion which
actuated the vast throng is as appar-
ent from the pit of the house as it was
to those by the ropes, and the human
interest of the scene does not cease
from the time the various celebrities
make their appearance until, amid the
frantic demonstrations of the crowd,
Nelson lifts Britt, bleeding and beaten,
from the ropes after the Knockout.

THE RUBE TO FIGHT FIELDS
Local Boy Signs With San Diego We'll
ter In Preliminary to Barry
Woods Scrap

Rube Jefferies has been signed by
Manager Billy Roche of the National
club, San Diego, for a six-round go
with Frank Fields, the affair to be the
main preliminary to the battle between
Dave Barry and Billy Woods on the
night of Nov. 2.
The fight will be at catch weights
and the Rube will not carry less than
1853 pounds, while his opponent will tote
not less than ten pounds lighter, and
more probably will have to give The
Rube thirteen pounds.
Both have been knocked out by War
rem Zubrick The Buffalo dentist ad-
ministered the sleep medicine to Fields
after eight hard rounds, in which
Fields, who was thirteen pounds lighter,
made game fight until the last mo-
ment and walloped Zubrick in lively
fashion.
Rube went out in the second round
and was really whipped in the first in
ming of his scrap with Zubrick, never
being in the running for a moment.
On this dope, Fields should expert
ence little difficulty in getting the de-
cision over the local boy However, the
difference in weight may be more of
an item between these than 1T would be
between the Rube and Zubrick
Fields will experience great difficulty
in getting to 145 for the fight and be
in any condition for a milling with
Rube's terrific right. And as Fields is
one of the slap-bang scrappers and
loves to mix matters from the tap of
the gong, he is more liable to step into
one of Rube's piston rods than was
ZThrick the foxy fellow.

HEAVIES ARE NOW
MOUTH FIGHTING
KAUFMAN AND 0'BRIEN ARE
TALKING
Each Is In Good Condition for Fridays
Fluht and Has Ceased Hard Work
to Scrap at Long Distance
Through the Press

Jack O'Brien has added another spar
| ring partner to his list of helpers for
the battle with Kaufman Friday night.
Sam Spalding is the latest find, ano
| it is said that he is giving Jack all
the heavyweight boxing he wants.
Spalding Is Biddy Bishops strapping
youngster and takes great delight IN
sending in his terrific stabs to O'Brien'
body. Last week during one of the
sparring bouts between them Jack
sailed into the youngster and Jared
him immensely with a couple of leads
to the face. One Of Spalding's eyes
was closed and 1t was necessary to
use a bellows to give the youngster
chance to breathe for a time.
All of this is pointed to as incidents
tending to show that the twenty pounds
difference will not be so much in favor
of the kid wonder when he meets
O'Brien as 1t has been touted.
O'Brien has broken his custom of not
Dragging about his fights, and is re-
ported as saying that 1t is all over
now, that he will win in Jig time, and
that, while he regrets the necessity OF
puncturing AIS boomlet for heavy
weight honors. he has some aspirations
in that line himself and that he re-
CARDS himself as bound to give Kauff-
man a good-sized thrashing.
Kaufman is equally chesty In his
CldlIIlS. Tie says llldI llC iltio iiO 40
tentions of breaking any records AND
will put Jack to sleep in the first
round, as he has performed with all
others. He says that, while Jack is a
nice fellow all right, he had no busi-
ness taking on such an unwieldy con-
tract, and since he has done so 1t be-
comes the sad duty of the rising gen.
Grafton to stop him before he gets In
the way of Jeffries or some one else
and gets hurt.
Both are spurred on in their train
ing by the news that Hart is coming
to the coast after their scalps. Each
owns UP to hankering for biff-bang
battle with the title holder, and realizes
that their right to meet the champ de-
pends upon the result of Friday nights
milling.
Delaney announces that his kid Won
der is in trim to go into the ring at
the present moment, but this fast will
not cause a cessation in work.
1t is generally recognized that De-
laney is too cute to allow Al to go
up against O'Brien without proper
training, and when the two pugs come
together the best man should win, as
there will be no room for excuses after
wards.
