Thlnnino Ranks Of G. A. r.

The Grand Army of the Republic Is
holding its 41st national encampment
this week at Saratoga. Fifty thousand
visitors are expected. This may be the
last encampment theldelsewhere than in
Washington, d. C. At the business
session of the organization a resolu-
tion will probably be introduced fixing
that place as the permanent meeting
place of the organization hereafter.
1t is also probable that within few
years the annual encampment will be-
come only meeting of delegates, for
the veterans, it was said by Grand
Army officials, are becoming too feeble
to attend these meetings in a body
and to take part in the annual parade.
Statistics made public Monday give
the membership of the National Grand
Army of the Republic at 100000. The
organization loses annually three per
cent. AS the average age of the mem
bers is 60 years, the organization Will
exist. it is estimated, for 25 years
more.

BRITT IS 0UTCLASSED
His Defeat by Cans fastened
by a Broken Wrist.
Short Fight Was a SIugging Match
but It Was Evident That Britt Had
No Chance to Win From the Negro.
His Lack Of Goodness Partly Respon-
sibIe For Miserable Ending of Fight.

San Francisco, Sept. 10. = A left
swing to the body, cleverly blocked by
Joe Cans, cost Jimmy Britt any
chance he might have had to win the
lightweight championship of the
world and brought to a close five
rounds of fast fighting before $4,000
persons at the Recreation park.
The deciding blow was caught by
Cans on the elbow in the middle of the
fourth round. 1t broke Britt's wrist,
and, though the Californian went on
fighting in the fifth round, he was
helpless in both offense and defense.
1t was not until this round that he in
formed his seconds of the mishap.
Whats the use of my going on?
can't fight. | am helpless" Britt
said to "Tiv" Xreling.
Captain of Police Gleason was in
formed at the ringside and he stopped
the fight. Referee Welch then gave
the decision to Cans. Three doctors,
after an examination, announced that
the injury was fracture and disloca-
ton of the lower end of the ulna.
Whether 1t was a genuine fracture or
not, Britt showed such intense suf1er-
ing while the doctors were manipulate
ing his wrist that the tears rolled
down his cheeks.
81 was utterly helpless" he said.
81 could not even hold up my left
hand after broke it. | had to guard
for Cans left and had no punch ex-
cept with my right"
The fight while it lasted was slug
ging match, but it was evident to
every trained observer that Britt had
no chance to win from the negro. For
the first time in his life Britt was out
matched.
Britt's lack of coolness was partly
responsible for the miserable ending
of the fight. From the first tap of the
gong Britt appeared over-eager He
was not content to take the advice
shouted to him by his seconds, to
make Cans do the leading, but he
rushed headlong into what inevitably
became slugging match, in which
the champion had by far the advant-
age.
In the first round Britt drove Cans
to the ropes with left swing on the
neck that had lots of force in 1t. In
the same round he also sent lefts and
rights successfully to the body and
face but took straight left on the
nose. which made him slow down.
The second round developed a mix
up at the ropes in which both men ex-
changed vicious rights and lefts, Cans
having the advantage.
In the third Cans followed his tac-
tics of crowding Britt into corner,
and the Californian had to keep his
hands and feet busy working his way
out. Honors were even in this round
Cans drew first blood in the fourth
with swift straight left which caused
scarlet stream to trickle from the
corner of Britt's mouth. 1t was i'm
mediately after this that Britt put all
of his strength into left swing which
proved his undolng.
