JIMMY BRITT
DEFEATS NELSON IN TWENTY
ROUND BOUT.
battling Nelson Had No Chance
From Time First Blow
Was Struck

San Francisco, Aug. l. Jimmy
Britt defeated Battling Nelson in a
terrific twenty-round fight here last
night. Nelson had little chance to
win. the first blow of the contect al
most flooring him. He tried to force
the lighting but was always met by a
hard straight left or right to the jaw
and at the end was staggering around
the ring, all but out. There were no
clean knock downs in the contest.
A few minutes before o'clock
the crowd outside the building where
the Nelson-Britt fight was held. had
grown in size and temper to a mob.
when the thousands started to charge
the entrance with the evident inten-
tion of overwhelming the foot po-
lice and breaking into the hall, half
dozen mounted blue coats charged
from several directions smultane-
ously and a score of persons wer
knocked down and trampled upon,
some of them falling under the
horses feet. IL is not known that any
one was badly hurt. Both Britt and
Nelson weighed In at o'clock, each
making 1913 easily. After weighing in
both ate a hearty meal.
At o'clock every seat IN the rink
had been taken and close onto al
thousand people were standing mp.
The police stopped admission to the
galleries before the first preliminary
and this caused hard feeling among
the crowd outside.
The size of the crowd in attend
ance exceeds even the best hopes Of
the club management. The great out
pouring of ring followers. it is sug-
gested. is partly accounted for by
the fact that this Is the first top notch
fight pulled OF in San Francisco prop
er since the earthquake and judging
by the attitude OF Mayor Taylor S
new board of supervisors, probably
will be the last professional fight that
will be Witnessed for some time to
come.

GOOSEBERRY PIES.
From Same Bush at Wedding and
Golden Anniversary.

Quincy, ILL.,, Aug. Fifty years
ago, when George w. Wetzel, of Bar
dolph. sat down with his bride to
their wedding day dinner gooseberry
pie was on the homely bill of fare. A
little thing to be remembered for so
long? Maybe; but they did not for
get. And when, after the lapse of
half century of life together on the
home farm, they kept their golden
Wedding anniversary this week, with
heir children and their children's
children about them, there again was
gooseberry pie.
And what's more, the bush that
furnished the berries for the wedding
away back yonder in the summer of
'57, was the same bush that yielded
the fruit for the golden jubilee.

The mussel fishers use fiat bottomed
boats to fish from and at one end
they have board down in the water
to catch the current ana carry the
boat along. This has been dubbed a

little progress is made as 1t is neces-

ginning again, and the fishers are in
their glory. A fiat boat started from

UNCLE SAM NEEDS MONEY.
Marshal Trying to Collect S5s4O from
 Stamford Merchant.

Stamford, July 14.-peputy United States Marshal William l. ParmeIee of New Haven, paid visit to Guiseppe zaninino, a Canal street saloonkeepers yesterday, in an effort to enforce pays ment of a bill zaninino owes the uniz ted States government, or one which the government claims he owes. It is really a balance due on goods imported by Zaninino July 23, 1906.
 The goods were a barrel of olive oil and one of wine, and when they were entered at the port of New York the pro-forma invoice gave the estimated quantity of oil as 65 gallons and or wine as 56 gallons. zaninino paid the duty on this amount. Subsequently. when the custom duties were Iiduidated it was found that there were really SO gallons of oil and 59 gallons of winesl This made difference of S7.40 in tho amount which Zaninino should have paid.
 The government has been jogging his memory in vain about the balance ever since. Yesterday Marshal Parmelea came down with a paper issued by Judge Platt of the United States distric court for Connecticut. He served the | # aa , paper on zaninino, and the latter. after a good deal of argument, gave a cash bond, pending settlement of the case

TORCERSON SAVES TIE DAY
INDEPENDENTS WIN 4-3
Fast and Exciting Game at o'Connell's Lot Lost by
 All New Ravens.

A fortunate change of pitchers in the sixth inning of the contest between the Independents and the crack All New Haven team saved and then won the game for the Independents by the score of 4 to 3, yesterday afternoon at O'Connelrs lot, Highwood. The twirler who won the game was Torgerson the former High school pitcher.
 Although errors were plenty the play ing of the both hines was fast, some very pretty plays being made by both teams. An extremely humorious and at the same time difficult play was per- formed by a couple of the All New Havens' stars in the seventh inning, Lynher, the Independents first base man slammed out a stinger to Tidewell at shortstop. This player in endeavor- ing to get his fingers on the ball turned a complete somersault and the rolling over tossed the ball to Hamley, the sec ond baseman who immediately twirled the ball to first just in time to get the runner out.
 For five innings there did not seem to be any chance for an Independents victory. Every other inning brought in a run for the All New Ravens and only sharp fielding with men on bases saved a higher score. Doeppensmith had been selected to fill the honorary posi- tion of box artist for the Independents but he was only a means of practice for the All New Haven batters. They pounded him almost at will, the biggest hit and the only big hit of the day coming in the third when Thompson the star third baseman of the New Ha- ven's banged the leather far over the right fielder's head. On wild throw by Virel, he just completed the circuit of the bases
 Doeppensmith's climax came in the fifth when a total of three hits were pounded from his delivery. Only Dame" fortune saved the Indepen- dents from having more than one run scored against them in this inning. Torgerson came in from second base in the sixth to the box and for the rest of the game had the All New Haven batsmen at his mercy and swinging vigorously at the innocent ether.
 Daniels for the All New Havens pitched superb game, allowing only three hits. He would easily have wor his game had 1t not been for annoying misplays and wild throws by his field CTS at times when errors were most costly. None of the three pitchers pas sed a man to first, a remarkable fea- ture.
 The crowd at the game was one ot the largest this season and Bob O'Con- nell obtained from them by means of his old hat large sum which will gc towards the benefit fund of the play CTS. The score:
