The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1907-08-01

Nelson whipped right and left to the
face, Britt retaliating with his left
to the stomach again and then swung
his left to the Battler's ear. In the
mix Britt swung his left hard to the
ear. Nelson's right ear bled as the
Dane went to his corner. Both men
fought viciously and the advantage
was with Britt
Round 3.-Nelson waded in with
left to the face and at close quarters
drove his right thrice over the kid
neyS. Both missed some forceful
blows and after some sparring Britt
nearly sent Nelson against the ropes
with right and left to the jaw. The
Dane came back fighting viciously,
only to receive terrific left to the
stomach and right swing to the
face. Apparently Nelson was un-
daunted and he kept forcing the pace
and made Britt break ground. Nell
son jabbed vigorous left to the face
and followed with two left swings to
the same spot. Then ensued a fu-
rious rally, Nelson having the better
of it. AS the gong sounded Britt
sunk his left twice to the Danes
stomach, making the latter vince.
The round was comparatively even.
Round 4.-Nelson as usual skip
ped quickly to the center and after
some sparring Britt drove two
straight lefts to the face and followed
it with right to the ear. Britt bled
at the nose from the effects of Mel
sons left jabs in the previous round.
Nelson forced the Californian to his
4 BRIT pv,itt
back with short lefts to the jaw.
Nelson smiled significantly, however,
and getting in close swung a left and
then right to the face. Britt COW
cred himself as best he could and
they mixed it furiously in the center
of the ring, Nelson doing much exc
cution with his short arm jolts. At
the call of the bell, Britt rallied and
drove in two terrific blows to the
face. Nelson went to his corner
quickly, showing no effects. 1t was
hard fought round, with Nelson en-
joying a shade the best of it.
Round 5.-Nelson forced Britt to
neutral corner and the men fought
shoulder to shoulder, without dam
age. Britt swung right and left to
the face and Nelson, leaning his head
against Britt's shoulder, walloped
the Californian several times with
right and left uppercuts. Nelson
then sent his left twice to the mouth
and Britt spat blood. Britt got in
two lefts to the face, but Nelson
forced his man to the ropes. Clever
foot work, however, enabled Britt to
wiggle away from harm. They
fought to the center of the ring and
exchanged a vicious fusillade of short
arm blows to the head and face. Britt
had the better of the milling at this
stage, but the round ended in Nell
sons favor. Nelson looked the
stronger of the two.
Round 6.-Nelson jabbed left to
Britt's sore mouth and Britt sent the
Danes head back with left hook.
Then they mixed it, Britt doing much
clever ducking and smothering. Britt
drove his left hard to the body and
Nelson Jared Britt with three terrific
left uppercuts to the jaw. Britt
fought back desperately and in a
mid-ring mix, both landed fearful
right and left wallops to the jaw and
face. 1t was give and take, Britt
throwing science to the winds. Britt
came out of the melee with bleeding
nostrils, while Nelson did not appear
disturbed to any extent 1t was Nell
sons round.
Round 7-They exchanged lefts to
the jaw and then followed some in
fighting, in which Nelson invariably
excelled. Nelson forced his man
about the ring and against the ropes
but did not land. Nelson then forced
Britt against the ropes, landing al
most at will. Britt electrified the
crowd by making a wonderful rally.
He waded into the Battler and plant
ed left and right, and then right and
left to Nelson's face. Nelson smiled
as the gong rang and the round ended
with honors about even.
Round 8.-Joe Cans injected life
into the contest by rising in his seat
and shouting, Good boy, Jimmy!"
Britt staggered Nelson with left
hooks and short right arm jolts to
the jaw. AS Nelson missed a left
swing Britt brought the blood from
Nelson's nose with three hard lefts
to that organ. Then Britt backed
away and continued to pepper Nell
sons face with left and right swings.
The Dane shook his head and went in
all the time without, however, stem
ming the rain of blows to the face.
The round ended with the honors
Britt's by clean margin.
Round 9.-The crowd cheered
Britt as he arose. They went in close
