BRITT ANXIOUS
To FIGHT CANS
Started to Get Into
Shape for the RING
Yesterday.

Jimmy Britt, who is down here on
vacation trip with the baseball team
from the Coast, started in his train
ing for his next fight, at the Hotel
Baths Tuesday afternoon. He seems
to be in fair condition at present, but
wants to get in little more work be-
fore leaving here, and will continue his
stunts daily till it is time to get on
board the Alameda for San Francisco.
Yesterday morning he commenced
road work, taking a long walk OF seven
or eight miles and winding up with
run for the last two or three. The
surplus flesh which he has accumu-
lated since his arrival will quickly
disappear and leave him in shape for
regular training by the time he gets
back to the Coast.
When asked for information in re-
gard to his future plans he said:
ls'What / want to do is to fight Cans
once more. That's got to come on,
don't you know? I am the only man
at present who seems to have the class
to take him up and he has never beat
en- me yet. The first time, of course,
he won on a foul, and in the last hght
he won because / dislocated small
bone in my hand. But he never has
beaten me yet. / want to show the
public that 1 can take his measure.
1T don't mean to say that L VIII
knock his head off, or any of that sort
of CUFF But l can beat him and am
sure that he knows it, too. In the
meantime 1 am willing to fight this
little fellow Memsic (Jimmy Burns) II
he wants to take me on or any other
lightweight IN the world.
at only expect to stay in this Tight
ing game for a year or so longer any
| how. The chief reason for this is that
NV mother wants me to- stop. l have
always lived with her and she dent
| like the game. Besides that, it keeps
me away from home all the time, ana
| she don't like that either. nave
| bought her q fine country home IN
Ross Valley, which is not far from san
francisco. 1 got that for her after the
] Nelson fight. That's where most Oh
| those big bugs who have been caught
boodling live in the summer. 1t
great place and have spent over $1V'-
600 on the house and grounds there.
"Say. you people down here are GER
/ tainly the real thing at giving crowd
| a good time I have been all over the
limited states and have always been
entertained wherever I went, but never
struck anything like this. Someone
wants to take you somewhere or do
| something for you every minute. Ihey
can't find enough to do. / know al
the other boys think the same way
that | do. They certainly are gooo
bunch of ball players, aren't they!
IT lust felt like taking little vaca-
! tion and since the baseball boys were
coming, and I know them all theS
seemed to be a pretty good punch y
get out with Then, too, there "eF'
two fights already arranged for SAL
Francisco. They only allow one pro
| fessionaI fight a month there yo'
| know. and the fight for November wa
tho Moran-NeiI contest, which has al
readv been pulled off, and the one
2 next month is Thomas against he'
hi cheu. AS there was nothing doing IL
me thought l might as well Try III
o,;na+e down here, and certainly al
| glad that I came
e .sTt,s too bad that you can't have an
r moro fighting here. I should like to g
;. on for a short bout with some ioc'
man. but of course that Is OUT Oh u
question. from what / hear. Wheh u
laws saw no, Jimmie Britt says IA
II and that goes. You people here nav
raan too decent for one to start any
II thing that's not the real thing.
so long, then; I'm off to see a hu
