BRITT MAY FIGHT
ATTELI. IN LOS
ANGELES.

Jimmy Britt wants to fight very bad,
and yesterday afternoon stated he
thought he would sign up within the
next few days for match with Abe
Attell IN Los Angeles. The southern
sports want the fight, and as Jimmy has
received very hattering offer to don
the mitts In the land of sunshine and
oranges it is probable he will take ad-
vantage of it.
At the present time brother Willus
and Promoter James Coffroth are in
Los Angeles. 1t is understood Willus
is already getting busy with the deal.
Jimmy believes he can beat Attell with
out any difficulty and at the same time
pick up fat purse. Just as soon as he
gets the word he will go into training
some place across the bay
The Los Angeles promoters have al
ready wired Attell In Chicago, and he
is only too happy to get a chance at
Britt II the other details can be ar
ranged within reasonable length of
time the pair will probably meet In the
southern city next month. Britt is
willing to fight at two weeks notice.
1t is understood that Attell will start
today for the coast If the southern pro-
moters assure him there is any chance
for the match.
Attell is a great card In the south
since he defeated frankie Neil few
weeks ago, The southern sports have
been clamoring for a match between
Abe and Britt, but many of them
thought that Britt would not want to
bother with Attell Now that Britt has
come to the front and expressed a will
jngnsss to fight, the prospects for the
match look bright.
"I would rather fight here in this
city, said Jimmy yesterday afternoon.
but there does not seem to be anything
in sight for me. The Attell match In
Los Angeles looks good, and If the
terms are liberal enough 1 will be only
too glad to accommodate the southern
sports"

ran into the street.

PHILADELPHIA,

PHILADELPHIA, July 16- Sam
Berger Of San Francisco made his
debut as a professional fighter tonight
and defeated Jack OBrien. champion
of the world. He outpointed, out
generated and outfought the conqueror
OF Fitzsimmons at every stage of the
six-round contest.
1t was the greatest surprise ever
sprung in the prize ring in this city.
Today it seemed to be a question of
how long Berger could keep his feet
before being beaten into submission.
Tonight IL there was way to measure
his superiority over OBrien the tape
would have to be strung out over a
city block
For six rounds, all the law allowed
for the fight. Berger slammed ,O&Brien
all over the ring. He cut him to rib
friends and on the very same platform
where Philadelphia Jack made his rep
utation and fought to fame.
1t was sorry sight for O'Brien
when the last bell sounded. A thou
sand of his supporters jumped to the
ringside to shake Berger's. hand and
proclaim him the future idol. They
were in an impulsive frenzy. They
had gone TO see the 22-year-old San
Francisco boy fall at the first real
step of his ambition. If he had held
his own he could have been heralded
as the coming peer of all fighters. But
he could not wait. O'Brien had the
light heavyweight championship: Sam

lighting for him. He wanted the whole
thing or nothing, and only the lack of
decision prevented him from getting it,
He sailed after il from the word
go and made O'Brien look like "a piece

one at that. But ne proved to be a
Croesus of ring generalship, a child
giant with every gift to make him a
fighter.
Berger landed the first blow OF the
fight and the last one. Both men were
