Jimmy Britt, the famous native son

pugliistic ladder one step farther His
quick ana decisive defeat by PaclSsy
Mcfarland has added another to his list
of beatinga. Britt was q pet of the
gambling fraternity of san Francisco
in It's palrny days, and after he left the
amateur ranks he had things pretty
much his own way Till he attracted the
attention OF Joe Cans. who went after
him hot-foot and ran up against the
color line. There was long wranSle
before the boxing promoters succeeded
In coa*ins Britt to meet Cans, and the
meeting resulted in the famous five
round verdict to Cans on n foul, tile
only way in which Britt could save
himself from being knocked out. The
result of the bout caused considerable
scandal, but after tho hue and cry

Battling Nelson. and was then knocked

the lightweight champion has always
proved to be a good drawing card, hav-
ing a big following among the fight
patrons Of Philadelphia. a discussion
arose as to who would be the best
man for him to meet here. and the
name of Blackburn was mentioned ow-

Cans should carry out his intention
