very plainly. He instructed them TO Ice

The matter of players carelessly throw

out, and the umpires Were instructed to

careless in this matter.

Britt did not seem to gauge his blows
and displayed much weakness in the
cliEches and close fighting.
Mcfarland. on the other hand, had re-
markable speed. his judgment of distance
was good and he displayed great punching
power.
In the first and second rounds McFar-
land outboxed. Outpunched and outgen-
eraled his opponent. During the third,
fourth and fifth rounds Mcfarland ad-
m!nistered a succession of powerful right
haEC buffets on Britt's jaw. Toward the
close of the fifth round right-hand blow
to the jaw sent Britt to the mat. and
only the timely clang of the gong saved
hi from being counted out.
In the sixth Mcfarland struck Britt
on the point Of the chin and the latter
fell like a log. At the count of nine he
struggled to his feet, but Mcfarland was
right after him and another right in the
same place sent the Californian down.

into the ring and acknowledged defeat
for his son.
After the fight Britt said: Il was clear
ly beaten. This is the last time l ever
will box in a prize ring"
