JIMMY BRITT WANTED

SAN FRANCISCO, March 22-Billy
Nolan, manager of Battling Nelson. has
made statement that the Brftt-Nelson
match fell through because Nelson
would not agree to fix the fight for Britt
10 win
1t is not the bonus that is standing in
the way of the Nelson-Britt fight" said
Nolan, but il is for no other reason
than that the battling Dane declines to
lay down to Britt. Before the forfeits
were posted, and prior 10 the terms of
the agreement being talked over, Willie
Britt came 20 me and said: You know.
Billy, this match will have to be fixed
up for Us before we sign any articles.
Jimmy can't afford to take any chances
and Nelson will have to agree to quit
or else there will not be any fight as
FAR as the Britts are concerned
This line of talk staggered me and
told Willie that there would be no such
arrangement entered into so long as I
managed Nelson. and If Britt wanted tn
fight Nelson he would have TO go in and
win or lose on his merits AS soon as
the Britts saw that the5' could not in

RATIFICATION Of
ADVISORY BOARD
Georgetown Will Act on
Pact With Virginia.
CHANGES IN COLLEGE, LIST
Several Very Important Institutions
Missing From Forty in List.
Meeting Today.
CHANGES IN COLLEGE, LIST

Contrary to general belief the agree
ment for-rhe resumption of relations en-
tered into by the joint committee repre-
senting Virginia and Georgetown is not
final
The committee which was sent to
Charlottesville by the Blue and Gray
was not given absolute power to enter
into final agreement and all its actions
are subject to the action of the advisory
board, which is the highest athletic tri-
bunal at Georgetown.
Advisory Board Meets.
This afternoon the Georgetown ad-
visory board will meet at the college
and the whole matter will be thorough
ly discussed before the ratification of the
board is given.
The most important business transact
ed at the Charlottesville meeting was
the formation of the eligibility code
which will govern all players in the con-
tests between the two institutions.
Objection to List.
The only objection to this code seems
to be the list of colleges, as exclusively
published in The Times of yesterday
which are to be considered colleges ir
an athletic sense. While this list con-
tains forty of the most representative
institutions in the country there are still
many missing, and among the missing
ones are several that will be most i'm.
portant in the relations between George,
town and Virginia.
For instance, as the code at present
stands man may play five years at the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute, which an.
nualiy turns out football teams which
compare fayorably with both George
town and Virginia, and then enter either
Virginia or Georgetown and put in a full
four years, making in all nine years ir
intercollegiate athletics.
Have Strong Teams.
This is true of not only V. P. l., but
also of Virginia Military Institute, the
University of Illinois, Williams. HOLY
Cross, Notre Dame Clemson, Fordham
and large number of institutions which
in the athletic line, are equally as strone
as either Virginia or Georgetown.
II Is understood that at the meetinl
at Georgetown this afternoon this cues
tio1 will be brought up and thoroughly
discussed before the advisory board viii

was eent 70 Charlottesville TO meet the
Virginia, committee.

Two players were absent from prac-

il was more quiet, and where he could

Comment and Gossip
JaCkson-O 'Brien Fight Will Have Real Class.
Measurements Show GotCh Smaller
Than Jeffries

Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and Young
Peter Jackson. when they meet at the
Fourth Regiment Armory in Baltimore
on Friday night before the Eureka
Athletic Club for ten rounds, should
furnish fight with more class than
any other that has been pulled off in
the Monumental City this season.
This scrap should be fast and furious
IL the men go at their work In the way
in which they are capable. Each has an
abundance of speed, O'Brien is one of
the cleverest boxers in the world, and
Jackson is a boxer of far more than or
binary ability. O'Brien not only has
speed, but he can hit. Should he knock
out Jackson he will accomplish a feat
which will give good grounds for be-
lieying that in all around ability he is
the king pin among the middleweights.
The negro is remarkably hard to put
away and can stand punishment that
would kill the ordinary man. Joe Wal
cott hammered him in Baltimore on
Thanksgiving night, 1902, until it seemed
that flesh and blood could stand the
strain no longer.
In the last five rounds Walcott lit
orally made a punching bag of jack
son, raining blows on his sides and kid
neys-and Walcott has a terrific short
arm blow-but at the end of the twenty
rounds the Baltimore negro still had a
punch left and was after his man when
ever he had a chance jackson can hit
like the kick of a mule, as O'Brien will
testify, for Jackson has knocked him
out, ard If he still has the wallop he
had before going to England o Brlen
should carry many bruises back to
| Quakertown. In the one fight he has
| had since his return from cleaning up
| the Britishers Jackson did not appear
20 be in condition, and from the way
| in which he handled himself seemed to
| have trouble with his hands. Should his
dukes be all right on Friday it will be a
| hard fight to pick.
The remarkable dearth of heavy
weight fighting material in this country
| is still causing the talk about match
| between Frank Gotch, the great wres-
| tier, and Jim Jeffries to be considered
more or less seriously. Gotch. is due
IN town this afternoon for his match
| tonight with Americus at the Washing
ton Light Infantry Armory He sticks
| to. the assertion he made when he was
here to wrestle Joe Grant, that he was
! serious in his intentions 10 devote some
| OF his time to boxing under a capable
| teacher and find out just how good
| he is
! Size does not mean everything in
| flghting-in fact. not as much in
wrestling-but it is big help. and in
measurements Jeffries has it on Gotch,
The Washington times., 1905-03-22


Jefrics has it on the wrestler by two
inches IN height and by twenty-five
pounds His reach Is longer, by "a
inches, which is not TO be despised
They have the same waist measure
ment. but the mat game has developed
Gotchs neck until it is half an inch
larger than that OF the boxing cham
pion. The only other point where Gotch
beats Jeffries is in age. and there he
has the advantage of being two years
Younger, certainly not enough to
amount to anything
One thing in Gotch's favor is that he
has been working at his speciality right
along and has always been in condition,
While Jeff has not had fight for many
moons, and is necessarily gross from
the inactivity and lack of systematic
training The fighting champion has
said that each time he trains II comes
harder to prepare for a bout, and If they
er1c do come together it will be that
difficulty in reducing which will help
Gotch immensely.
That fight to a finish between Billy
Peyton and Burt Clark. which was so
rudely interrupted out the road the other
night after it had gone six and one-half
rounds, IS still in the air. The men are
breathing all sorts of fire and birthstone
at each other, and each is anxious to
have it out. Plans are on foot now to
hold it strictly in private before a. select
crowd of some score OF sports who are
willing to pay a good price to see the
scrap, and ii should be we'll worth the
money.
Clark's friends were more than pleased
at the showing he made, and it is certain
that if any more 10 to money is offer
ed on Peyton it will be gobbIed up in {.
hurry. The cleverness OF and improve
ment Clark showed in blocking was
especially noticeable. Peyton has said
to a number of persons that he was not
shamEling when he seemed in difficulty
in the fifth and sixth rounds, but that
he was really weakened by the terrific
wallop he received In the side followed
by the bang on the neck that knocked
him down.
Kid Sullivan has at last been matched
with Young Corbett, and will have a
chance to see what he can do against a
real fighter. Because Corbett was
beaten by BATTLING Nelson he is by no
means dead one. but is still one of the
most dangerous men in the Hghtwefs bt
class. The fact that he stayed nine and
ne-hdl1 rounds with the Dane proved
that he is still some pumpkins for there
are not many fighters who could have
gone that far.
Sullivan shows some Improvement IN
his work, but hardly as much as was
expected when he went under the Her
ford wing. and if Corbett prepares a
all for the bout the chances are the
Washington scrapper will be beat M,
some considerable.
