BRITT Wins CONTEST
Gets Decision Over Nelson in
Twentieth Round.
WINNER SHOWS STRENGTH
EIectrIfies Crowd In the Seventh
by Making Wonderful RnIIy-Pre-
Draws First Blood from BattIing's
Nose I'm the Eighth Round.

San Francisco. July 3l-The twenty
round fight tonight between Jimmy Britt
and Battling Nelson ended at the finish
OF the twentieth round IN a clean-cut
victory for Britt. who outfought his man
during eighteen OF the twenty rounds.
Nelson. from the start, bored in. play
ing for short arm jolts and uppercuts dur
ing and after the clinches. In only two
rcunds-ths fourth and the. ffth-was he
effective.
During the first five rounds. Britt al
lowed Nelson 10 come 20 close quarters
frequently, and he suffered more or less
punishment from the Danes uppercuts,
but IN the sixth and seventh ralnds that
followed. Britt adopted an entirely new
plan Of battle, keeping Nelson at arm S
length. and meeting HIS rushes with
straight left jabs 70 the mouth, and right
/ swings 10 the stomach.
As far as boxing went, Nelson, by con-
trast, looked Ike dub lie missed left
swings in every round. and he seldom
landed a clean blow.
Nelson slows I'D.
His fighting was very monotonous be-
cause IL consisted solely In trying 70 rush
his man into corners and land short arm
jolts. These were effective when they
landed. as Britts nose and mouth showed
by constant bleeding. but they lacked Of
most OF Nelson's old-time steam. just
after the eighth round Nelson percept!bly
slowed down and showed spurts Of his
old-tlme vigor only in the eleventh and
fourteenth rounds.
A bad blow, a straight left OF BTitts
which took Nelson squarely on the bridge
| Of the nose evidently hurt the bone on
which an operation was recently perform
ed. for he WINGED and showed signs OF
great suffering.
Britt made a splendid fight all through
showing great gencralship and caution
and absolutely outcIassed his opponent in
leads. and In forcible, well-directed blows
At least three or four times 10 each
round Britt landed clean left swings Just
above the belt. and Nelson seemed un3ble
TO stop these. than he was able 70 STOP
Britt's lefts and rights 10 the nose.
Britt Lands at VIII.
During the last five rounds Britt hit
Nelson at will, and the Dane scarcely
landed an effective blow in return. In
the last half Of the last round. Britt, en-
/ couraged by his supporters, cut loose, and
had Nelson groggy when the bell sounded
When the referee placed his hands on
Britt in token of the victory, the great
crowd showed its appreciation Of the de-
cision by loud applause.
Joe Cans. who sat by the ringside and
/ encouraged Britt, summed Up the fight in
these words
Nelson was so badly hurt by me IN the
Nevada fight that he can never again wiz
with a first class man. This fight To-
night proves it without question. for Britt
outclassed him from start 10 finish.

The picturesque career OF an industrious
American politician need not be confined
to the limits of the conventions of one
party. Ben Butler, Of Massachusetts. was
made the chief dispenser of patronage in
his State by Franklin Pierce. President
Pierce was dominated by Jefferson Davis,
HIS Secretary Of War. When the Demo-
cratic convention met at Charleston. in
1860, Ben Butler was there with Massa-
chusetts in his pocket But he was care

seven ballots he announced the vote OF
his State, and each time reserved his
own vote until the last. then declaim-
Ing IN theatric fashion; 1.-THE State OF
Massachusetts casts one vote for the
Hon. Jefferson Davis, of the State OF
Mississippi" In another year Davis was
president Of the Confederate States and
Butler was out cunning for rebels. He
was one of the most unpopular OF the
Federal generals in the South on account
OF his rule in New Orleans. After the
war he is found trying TO impeach An
drew Johnson. Under the Republican
Grant he dispensed patronage in Massa-
chusetts as he had under the Democratic
Pierce and Buchanan. Then he IS found
again in Democratic ranks, being elected
governor eff Massachusetts, on that ticket.
He leaves the Democrats and Is nom
mated in 1884 for President by the Green
hackers. Six weeks later he is a mem
Der of the Democratic national conven-
ton. and is discovered urging a substitute
platform for that reported by the com
mittee. the Butler substitute favOring the
granting OF pensions TO Confederates.
President Roosevelt has figured in three
conventions of his own party In 1884,
when he was twenty-six years old. he was
lieutenant under Thomas c. Plat. fight
ing for the nomination Of Blaine At
Philadelphia. in 1900 he protested against
being nominated for Vice President and
was kicked upstairs" by Plat. who
supposed he had him shelved In 1904
Roosevelt was the unanimous choice of a
convention at Chicago which had no spec
tacular features. because its work was
done before it met.
The clans are gathering in both parties
and within 4 year from now two other
great national conventions will have met,
nominated candidates, and adjourned
What they viii do may depend upon an
incident too trivial TO be thought Of now,
and on the other hand the members Of
the two parties may have so mapped out
the work in advance that the only fUnc-
tons Of the convention win be to ratify
the popular will.

New York. July Sl.-A grewsome mys-

still another murder case, came 10 light

Beach. S. l., this morning. of the lower
portion of a woman's body. The portion
Of the body found consisted of the hips
and thighs and q portion Of the spine up

Dr. Mord, coroner's physician, made a
detailed examination. He found that the
legs were missing at the knees They mad
been disarticulated. In his opinion, they
were not taken off by the propeller Of a
ferry boat or other vessel. Neither did
he think that they were removed by a
surgical operation.
Dr. Mord thought the body had been a
long time in the water There was no
clothing about 1t, and no distinguishing
marks were discovered.
Other fragments Of the body may be
brought to light later. Unless they are
the task Of establishing the wOman's
