BRITT DEFEATED
NELSON EASILY
Jimmy 0utb0xed the Man Who
Defeated Him Through
All the Fight.

Harry B. Smith, of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. one of the best judges
of boxing in san Francisco. tells the
following story of the Britt-Neison
fight:
Jimmy Britt earned the decision
which Jack Welsh gave him at the
Auditorium last night In twenty
rounds that We're, for the most part,
the hardest fighting that has been seen
in San Francisco, the California light
weight outclevered and outboxed his
sturdy opponent
For the first five or six rounds. it
looked as though Britt would tire, but
fighting a more cautious battle than
he did at the outset, when he went like
a whirlwind, Jimmy jabbed the Dane
repeatedly on the face and the body,
and Britt's rally at the very close
when he had Nelson staggering under
the lefts and rights with which he
was showered, was remarkable
showing, and settled all doubt as to
the man that Welsh would pick as the
victor.
At the outset of the twentieth and
closing round, Britt looked tired. He
was holding, and Welsh had hard
work separating the men, but in the
last minute of action he was like an
Embossed tiger. He slashed at Nelson,
and the latter was powerless to de-
fend himself. He was by no means
near the knockout stage, but for all
that he was staggered by the beating
that he took, and glad when the gong
called the end of the round.
There were two or three rounds, in
the early stages of the fight, i'm which
Nelson had the better of the going.
His forte was easily in-fighting. and
he uppercut Britt with a vengeance
that made the crowd wonder whether
the San franciscan would be able to
stay to the end.
But the Danes punching power
seemed to have diminished At long
range he was wild at times and when
he landed Britt weathered the blows
far better than he was expected to do.
Britt was backing from start to finish,
but the Battler's aggressiveness gained
him little or no vantage. For the most
part he was walking into left jabs
and the right-hand punches that Britt
was landing, and toward the close,
strong as ne has been in previous
fights, the Chicago boxer was firing.
Through it all there is one thing
that stands foremost. 1t was a great
fight. There was no logging it by
either. They were fighting with VEN
geanee, each determined to win, but 1t
was Britt's night to shine. Nelson un-
questionably has gone back, but the
surprise was the strong return that
was made by Britt.
Jimmy did not have the punch that
would settle the battle Ill fact, be-
fore the fight, he had said that he ex-
rected to Outlook his opponent. That
was what he did. There can be no
mfstaking his ability to outcleyer Nell
son. He has proved it before. and he
proved last night that he could do It
again

OAHU POLOISTS
PLAY On PAPER
Many Rigs Already Engaged
for the Coming Game
on Saturday.

With the arrival of Charles A. Rice,
the president of the Kauai Polo Club,
who will act as umpire in the games
which will start next Saturday be-
tween Oahu and Maui, the last of the
men needed to complete the polo con
tIngent is in Honolulu. Rice came
down on the Mikahala yesterday, with
large following of polo. enthusiasts
from Kauai and was greeted by many
friends In this city.
Tuesday afternoon was spent in polo
practise by the Oahu team but not
on the Moanalua field. Instead of this
they played in the office of Captain
Walter Dillingham; and the field was
one of paper. The entire team was
present, together with Substitutes Deni-
son and Castle, who will be called on
TO take part in case some one is hurt
or indisposed. Every play which
might come up in the game was talked
over and the general scheme which
the Oahu team will follow was mapped
out by Captain Dillingham; and care
fully described to his followers.
Arrangements have been made by
which wagOnettes win meet the cars
at the end of the King street line from
l:30 p. M. till time for the game to
start, but hose wishing to go win do
well to engage rigs in advance from
the local stables as, after the game is
over, there may be many who will
wish to return in the wagonettes and
so some delay may be occasioned.
The game will commence promptly
at 3 O'Clock Saturday afternoon. The
charge for admittance to the grounds
will be 81, but children viii be adj
mitted for half price. The usual ac
commOdations for the various vehicles,
whether buggies, automobiles, Surveys
or hacks, will be made, and, with the
perfect field on which the games are
played, all viii be able to have a chance
to see the game without interference.
Yesterday afternoon the Oahu team
went out to Moanalua and held short
practise, using the ponies which will
take part in Saturdays game and train
ing them to various plays. They did
a good deal of passing and tried to
get their team play down as fine as
possible. While the weather was none
of the best, the practise was eneourag-
ing from every standpoint, and the
team was feeling very confident of put
ting up strong game at the end of
its last days practise before the Gourna-
ment.

BEATEN IN HARD
TENNIS PLAYING
A. /. Castle Gives Eva Man
Pretty Fight on Local
Courts.

The championship tennis tournament
for mems singles, which was COM
menced yesterday afternoon on the
courts of the Beretania and Pacific
Tennis clubs, was spoiled to a great
extent, on account of the rain. With
the exception of two matches, in which
McKeever of Eva, beat A. l.. Castle of
this city, and s. H. Derby defeated
Lieutenant Shipp, none of the matches
were completed. These will be played
off today and, with good weather, it is
hoped to catch UP with the program
as mapped out in yesterday morning S
paper
OF the games played yesterday the
best by all manner of odds, was that
between Castle and McKeever. Castle
was somewhat tired from his two
matches of the previous day in which
he PLAYED in the tournament for the
Wall Challenge Cup, but for all that
he nut up a fine game and great inter-
est was displayed by those present
Remarkably he passed the Eva man
when the latter tried to come to the
net. but McKeever's play was so steady
that he won out in the end. His re-
turns from the back court were UNI
usually good
s Fl. Derby, in his match against
Lieutenant y. NJ Shipp, of the Twen-
tieth Infantry, played steady game
and won in straight sets.
OF the matches which will be played
TODAY the most interesting should be
that between Brock, the local crack,
ord dcKeever, If the latter plays
nm to the same standard which he did
yesterday he should have a good
chance 10 put Brock out of the running

pionship.

Melted him two bases and he reached
third when st. Nicholas Williams sac
rificed. A neatly placed single over
short by Spencer put the third-sacker
over the plate. Thus ran things until
the eighth, when George Wheeler jam
med one against the fence in right
and crossed the pan after Hildebrand
flew out to Van, on hard drive past
third by Irwin. Oakland looked dan
gerous in the fifth when Bigbee walk
ed, stole second and reached third on
a passed ball. Bill Reidy drove one
toward right center at a mile-a-min-
ute gait and it easily looked good for
three bases, but Spencer speeded across
the green, made a leap and nabbed the
ball, making a most remarkable catch.
JOY deserved his victory yesterday,
for he pitched in first-cIass style from
start to finish. His control was of the
best and but one of his passes amount
ed to anything. Once or twice he look
ed to be in hole but he famed Hogan
on one occasion and Haley on another.
Bull Perrine said after the game that
he has seen many pitchers at work but
he thinks the Honolulan has as fine a
curve ball as was ever sent over the
plate and he predicts that Barney will
be star before many moons have
passed.
Devereaux walked into one of Bar
ney's fast ones in the eighth and be-
gan to josh the big fellow after he
reached first. Barney took it all good
naturally and grinned at the Red. Bill
later reached second and kept up his
kidding but it didn't last long for Bill
was doubled when he shouldn't have
been and then 1t was a pleasure to
hear Barney laugh.-Chronicle, July 81
Barney Joy. the big San Francisco
pitcher, is a southpaw, and pitches
much like Doc Newton and fields his
position well for so large a man. He
is almost as big as OWE overall. Four
of the first five batsmen in the Port
land lineup swing from the left side.
With a southpaw pitching, they were
buffaloed, except the manager, who
laced out two corking two-base hits.
The other extra base swipe of the en-
gagement was made by Mike Shaugh-
messy, the Notre Dame College play
