Britt. manager of Stanley Ketchel,

his hopes on a desire to get a man
to beat Jack Johnson. He believed
when he landed Ketchel that he had
the man. All his hopes were founded
on this battle for the heavyweight
championship and the reseult was a
crushing blow to Britt
Britt was only 32 years old. but
two years ago he drank so heavily
that his life was despaired of and
early this year in New York he mar
rowly escaped death as a result Of
alcoholic excesses.
Britt was a clever boxer when
younger. but more recently he turned
his attention to promoting prize
fights. He was a good talker, shrewd
and one of the best ringside coaches

wholesale experimentation that the
