Britt Due Next Week

BRITT Que Next week
Nothing further has been heard from
Jimmy Britt since his telegram of Mon
day. in which he instructed Manager
McCarey to reserve the North Beach
bath house gymnasium for his training
quarters, but he is expected to arrive
Sunday or Monday and will get down
to systematic work at once.
Britt will require harder work to get
into condition than will Herman, as he
has not been in the ring since he was
Knocked oGt by Battling Nelson last
summer, and is considerably over
weight and out of hardened condition.
Britt will experience no difficulty,
however, in getting into condition, as
he is a thorough worker in course
of training ana usually keeps himself
in fair condition.
With Fritt will come his more fa-
nous brother, Willus. and a staff of
trainers, sparring partners and assist
ants and the daily routine will be a
continual round of strenuous stunts.
There is none more popular than
Britt and his training quarters will
be the Mecca of the curious throngs
of fans who delight in the spectacle of
popular idol in training for an i'm
portant battle.
Battling Nelson has clean record
in the ring and is at the top of the
lightweight heap. Should he meet and
defeat Cans the public would set up
a howl to the effect that it was a pre-
arranged affair, and If he should lose
Nelson would be charged with laying
down to Cans.
NO sir you may say positively,
and as emphatically as the postal reg
ulations will permit, that Cans will
never have the opportunity of boxing
with Bat. While l sincerely believe
that Cans is unable to make the light
weight limit and put up his best bat
tie, and that Bat would have an easy
victory over him, there is nothing to
gain and all to lose in such a battle.
"It would be a stake involving moth
ing save Nelson's clean record, and
regardless of what might be the result
of the battle Nelson would suffer in
lost prestige for having engaged in
battle with Cans, who is self-convicted
on the charge of taking.
IF Herman wins from Britt Nelson
will take him on next time and the
battle will be held in Los Angeles, in
all probability. Should Britt win, he
will be taken on if he settles up with
Nelson. Otherwise, not"
No "Whole Hog" Business
The little wrangle in which Herrera,
Nelson and Nolan engaged Wednesday
night when they met in a downtown
bath room gave a net result of big
bundle of ''hot air." but nothing of any
consequence.
Manager McCarey yesterday said
that the articles of agreement would
not be altered or amended in any man.
ner and that the little battlers and
their managers would be governed by
the original draft of articles now
signed, sealed and delivered.
The proposition broached Wednesday
night that the battlers scrap for the
purse on a winner-take-all basis was
never seriously presented to McCarey
and he considered it only in the light
of a good joke, and proceeded to tickle
himself in the ribs to get up a snicker,
which signally failed of its purpose.
Nelson and Herrera refused to allow
the "joshing' bee to interfere with
their friendship in any serious manner
and it is a bygone of the thirty-third
degree, having been dismissed by each
as Of no consequence.
No Chance for Cans
