The Citizen Special Servieel

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27. In one of the best fights that has been seen in this city in some time Owen Moran. the English feather weight, knocked out Battling Nel- son. the former champion lightweight, in the eleventh round. The fight was Moran's all the way through and he emerged from the encoun- ter without a scratch. He says that he will go after the hieher-ups. and will at once demand a fight from Ad Wolgast
 Moran states that he won the flight with the same kind of blow he used when he killed Young Mccarthy. He says he was at all times confident of winning Nelson gives the credit of the victory to Moran. but insists that he wants another fight with Wolgast. Fight critics, however, are united in the belief that the Dane has gone back to such an ex- tent that he will never again attain championship honors.
 The fight took place before 5,000 spectators in Blot's arena. IL was a slugging match from the start, both boys using similar tactics Nelson kept continually boring in as usual but he was always met with a hur- ricane of jabs from the Britisher From the first round it was seen that the Battler had lost much of his accustomed speed and the sup erioritv of Moran was made more apparent with each succeeding round In the seventh round Owen had matters all his own way and a knockout was expected The Dane fought with his old-time grit, how ever, and indulged in clinches when in difficulties. In the eleventh round he came from his corner in good shape but was foored by a right to the jaw and had to take before he rose. Before he could recover him self he was knocked down in rapid succession and his seconds threw up the sponge to avoid an actual knock out
