4 = THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, BRITT WINS CLEVERLY FROM IRWIN ON POINTS IN FIFTEEN-ROUND BOUT O ympic Club Lightweight Champion Outclasses His Opponent | From the Start, Escaping Unscathed From /the Ring—But for His Overanxiety He Would Have Won Readily in Less Time AMES E. BRITT, amateur light- weight boxing champion of the Pa- et po of A e ints last night in the gymnasium the Acme Athletic Club, Oak- Jand. The winner disproved a time-hon- ored idea that the professional in any walk of life, be it art, literature, music, Grama or athletics, has a big advantage over the amateur. Not since 1861, when “Jim” Corbett fought his ‘memorable sixty-one-round jraw in this city with Peter Jackson, has uch widespread interest and timent shown in the appearance of a local boxer as were brought out by Britt's intention to enter the ranks of profes- sional boxers. 3 The attendance last night was almost irely drawn from this side of the bay. being made up of business and profes- sional men and a Jarge number of Olym- pic Club men. From the start Britt outclassed Irwin. He proved a faster boxer, a harder hit- | ter and took what punishment he received without wineing. He proved to be in su- perb condition, going nearly every round al top speed. He was as fresh in the last round as in the first He was always the first to lead at the opening of each round, and as he invari- aply piayed for the body he took much of the speed out of Irwin. The bell saved tne latter inseveral rounds, as he was all but out and hung on to avoid punizh- ment. Britt strikes a blow like that of a . He was fortunate in hav- services of two such seconds as Kelly and Tim McGrath. The er has no equal in coaching a boxer ring, while’ McGrath is a marvel in ning up a man between rounds. The combination worked like clockwork last night. Britt should give due credit to his clever handlers. Irwin fought a game, uphill fight. From the start he seemed outclassed, although some spectators thought for a time he was letting Britt fight himself outg The latter's friends were nervous abolt the fifth and sixth rounds, but the ex-ama- ur champion went any pace his oppo- 1t set before him and never slowed up. When Referee Jack Kitchen declared Britt Britt's seconds lifted him on their shoul- dGers and carried him across the ring to whepe his father was standing. He re- ceived the those of some of his friends. landed among his Olympic Club friends, who nearly shook the hands off their champion. Britt was pronounced the cleverest ama- teur ever seen in the ring here under sim- flar conditions. At times he showed a lack of experience in following up an ad- vantage. Had he had the fights would afford him he would have won last night inside five rounds. There were 2i00 spectators at the fight. The receipts were $243450. Of this tha boxers and the club each received half. Britt's share was $937 40 and Irwin's §305 8. In addition Britt wagered more than $1000 on his chances, having unlim- ited confidence in his ability to win. The b;[;})nk at the ringside was 10 to 6 in favor of Britt. Britt Starts the Fighting. When the gong sent them together in the first round Britt was the first to lead, sending a left to the body. He followed this up with another left, which sent Ir- win back. Irwin stumbiled, but Britt did not take advantage of the opening. In a mixup Britt proved much the cleverer, landing a stiff uppercut to the head. Britt rushed him across the ring and nearly through the ropes. Irwin kept away, with the Britt fight himsel Just as the bell rang Irwin landed 2 left to the head.

Britt also sent a | hard one wide of the mark. Britt worked him into a corner, where Irwin slipped down. Britt landed a _right and left to the head. Britt had the best of a mix- up, Irwin making some complaint to the referee. Britt joked him about it, saying, “What's the matter?” Britt landed his left as usual when pro- ceedings opened in the third. Irwin fol- lowed with a left to the head. Britt chased Irwin across the ring, landing re- peatedly, but not doing much damage. Irwin broke the skin on Britt’s nose, which bled slightly. In a_mix-up both stumbled to the floor. Irwin seemed | afraid of Britt, the latter’s body punches | telling on him. Irwin landed two straight lefts and again stumbled. It began to look like the end as Britt hustled his op- ponent around the ring. Britt showered biows on him during the last ten seconds and had him grogey. Irwin seemed tired in the fourth. He was the first to lead, but did no damage. Britt sent him against the ropes with some hard body blows. Britt plugged him repeatedly with right and left, but in his over-anxiety to end the affair his blows proved ineffective. Irwin showed the ef- fect of the pace which the ex-amateur was_setting, while the latter was quite fresh. Britt took a breathing spell in the fifth and few hard blows were exchanged. The sixth round wound up in a fier: slugging match, the plucky young. sters exchanging rights and = lefts. The round opened with Britt lead- ing as usual He sent his right to the body hard. He then sent his right to the head, and Irwin hung on to avoid punishment. Irwin landed two on the head, but did no damage. Britt sent a terrific right over to Irwin's jaw, but it proved a glareing blow and did no dam- tiappy Childhood Knows What’s Best Medicine that a child dislikes, it Medicine forced on the little sickening medicine is an injustice to the dear little innocents who | can't protect themselves, makes them peevish and afraid of the dose. | When a child hates the medicine, it will not be effective.

He landed a right on the head and a right to the body and received a right and left on the body. Irwin backed around the ring, Britt fol- lowing him. He cornered Irwin and they slugged until the bell stopped them. Ir- 'wi? came out of the melee with a badly cut ere When Irwin Woke Up. Irwin freshened up decidedly in the seventh and it seemed he was striking his gait. Britt started matters with a left to the body and then a hard right. Irwin then went at him, sending right and left to the head. They did not daze Britt, who fought on the defensive for a time. As the round ended Irwin was trying jab- bing tactics. Britt had Irwin in extreme danger in the eighth, the bell barely saving ths North Beach boy. Britt planted a stiff right to the heart and cleverly ducked a hard swing. Britt sent a right to the body and a left to the head which left Irwin | weak and defenseless. Britt followed him all over the ring, showering blows on him. In his excitement his aim was bad. Just at the bell he landed a clean right and left to the head. It was all Britt in the ninth, Irwin hanging on to avoid punishment. Britt landed at will on head and body. They slowed down in the tenth, neither deing much damage. The eleventh round ended with Irwin retreating and Britt chasing him around the ring. In the twelfth Britt tried several times for a right cross to the jaw but missed. He succeeded in landing it on the body with deadly effect. The thirteenth was Britt's round. Ir- win's only hard Blow was a right to the head. Britt returned it with interest. Britt landed a right cross on the head which sounded all over the house in the fourteenth round. It must have missea its mark or Irwin would have gone out. Irwin was nearly out when the gong agaimn su\'etd him. He hung on to avoid punish~ ment. Britt started the last round as fresh as when he entered the ring, while Irwin looked jaded, as would any boxer who had taken the punishment he did. Britt sent a left to the head and then a right, which staggered Irwin. Tobey was nearlg out and hung on. Britt kept pepperi 3 his body and once knocked him do 'n with a clean blow. When the end of the round came Referee Kitchen pointed to Britt as the winner. Gibbs Wins on a Foul. The first preliminary bout was between Frank George and Gene Young. George went after his opponent fiercely, swing- ing wildly and landing occasionally. The second round was give and take, each man having it bad ats times. The third and fourth rounds were full of rough- and-tumble fighting. In the fifth George played for the body with telling effect. The last round was a mixture of hugging and slugging. George was given the de- clsl{gn on poéx‘\l';% ‘ ““Young” s. weighing 142 pounds, fought Jack McDonald, who welz%ed 163 pounds. Near the end of the first round McDonald hustled Gibbs out of the ring, the latter falling heavily. In the earlier part of the round Gibbs proved much the better boxer. Early in the second round, in a wild wrestling match, both men fell and rolied over the lower rope of the ring. They stayed down four seconds. [cDonald was first up and while Gibbs was still on his _knees the former lost his head and rushed at him. He struck Gibbs and lRf{eree Kitchen awarded the bout to the atter. 7 The Lyceum Clothing Company Will sell regular $2 50 hats for men, latest styles, for 90 cents, at 915 Market street, opposite Mason. . ——————— BOWLERS COMPETE IN : TOURNAMENT GAMES | et o | Interesting Contests Are Held in Va- rious Alleys—An Additional Prize Is Offered.

I NGTON, -~ Feb. 18.—Representa- tive Cochran of Missouri two weeks ago introduced a resolution inviting Paul Kru- ger to visit the United States as the guest of the country. Yesterday Cochran received a letter signed by three membgr: of the Boer delegation quartered at Brus- sels thanking him and all who are support- ing his efforts for the noble interest they are taking in the Boer republics. The let- ter reviews, from the Boer standpoint, the causes which led up to the war, and de- clares that Great Britain invented pretext after pretext to bring on the conflict, and that her sole purpose was to secure the extensive gold mines of the Transvaal, in pursuance of a settled policy to control all gold mines, whether by purchase or selzure, In order tnat England may con- trol the world’s industries. Boer The letter in closing appeals to “heroic and generous America” to intervene in behalf of the Boers, and says: “Since England will not permit friendly Interven- tion, invite her to a congress of the na- tions and see whether such a congress, called in the interest of peace, will be ig- nored. England would not dare to refuse to attend such a congress if called by the United States and participated in by four or five of the powers.” HEILBRON, Orange River Colony, Feb. 18.—The British columns have again come in contact with Dewet’s forces near Reitz, Orange River Colony.

Four other favorites, though, did come through, in The Weaver, Killdoe, Redwald and The Fretter, and this speaks well for the | sport, especially as the fields were made ¢ up of very ordinary material. Then again, the track was very heavy and slow. Although The Weaver went to the post a 1 to 3 favorite for the opening sprint, | the big colt found it no easy trick to beat | Bassenzo. The latter made all the run- | ning and at the wire lost by a head only. Senator Bruce ran third. So fluctuating were the odds against | Buck Taylor in the betting on the seven- furlong selling affair that it was difficult | to tell whether the stable fancied the chestnut or not. He showed to be good by -acing eut in the lead with the favor- ite El Rey, and then won cleverly by two lengths. 7Troxler on Alturas ran into the | show. ! Barney Schreiber’s Killdoe ran away from his company in the five and a half furlong selling dash. A 1 to 2 favorite with Lee Jackson up, the Foul Shot geld- jng led El n over the mark three | lengths. ~Courtier took the show from the weakly-handled Rasp. After considerable see-sawing Redwald | finally closed equal favorite with John Petars for the six and a half furlong run. The latter colt was giving away some | weight, and his stay out in front was | limited. O’Connor assumed the front - | sition with Redwald when ready, downing ?‘ebruary, a 20 to 1 chance, without ef- ort. O’Connor also rode the winner of the mile and a furléng event, in The Fret- ter. Frank O'Rourke's useful horse had a slight call over Wolhurst in the rin; and should have beaten the last name horse two or three lengths instead of a | neck.

Discover Abandoned Outlet Through Which They Gain Open Air. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Feb. 18.—With the arrival of the steamship Diiigo from Alaska this morning came news of a conflagration at the Treadwell mines on Douglas Island on February 11 and the narrow escape of 100 miners from death. The Alaska-Amer- ican compressor building was destroyed. While the flames raged the miners in the lower workings were in a desperate situ- Dozens of volunteers asked to be allowed to go down through the burning shaft and warn the imprisoned men. Such an act would have been suicidal, how- ever, and the combined efforts of. the firs brigades were put to saving the remain- der of the vast mine buildings. The firemen combined their efforts on the mill adjacent to the compressor build- ing, and, though thelr clothing frequent- ly caught fire and their hands and faces weré badly blistered, they finally got the flames under control, after several build- ings\had been destroyed. In the meantime the flames in the shaft had been burning rapidly. Swans Bar- quist, one of the miners working on tha 330-foot level, was the first to gain knowl- edge of the fire above. He shouted a warning to the miners on the 440-foot level. he. latter crew, however, mistook his excited cry of “fire” for a blasting signal, and, instead of making their way toward the upper levels, went farther back on their own level. When the men had finally gathered on the 330-foot level much valuable time had beem lost. Tk shait was closed and was fast becoming untenable, as burning embers were ping from the woodwork at the when several old employes of the pany remembered that there was me means of communicating between the new and old workings. The old gallery was finally discovered, and after a hard strus- gle in the smoky, gas-laden levels the men reached the bottom of the old pit in safety. In the meantime, with the help of ad- | ditional fire apparatus from Douglas, ths fire had been confined to the compressor building, the shaft, the shaft house and a These were de< stroyed. When the Dirigo left for th¢ south it was not certain that all the men in the mine had escaped, but Assistant Superin- tendent McKenzle and Shift Boss Eaton made the trip down from the old pit and gave it as their opinion that every one had got out safely. WILD STEER STAMPEDES VANCOUVER PEDESTRIANS Takes Possession of the City and at Once Proceeds to Get Rough. VANCOUVER, B. C., Feb. 18.—A big steer from a band of cattle being brought into Vancouver from the upper country took possession of most of the city this orning. For two hours the pranks of the animal were devoted to the tearing up f gardens and lawns, the breaking of several hundred dollars’ worth of plats glass and the stampeding of crowds on the business streets. The steer made his debut by leaping n ten minutes there was not a patch ten feet square left out of the gemeral ruin of the garden. Followed by @& cowbay the steer then dashed through Chinatown, smashing several doors and windows en route and causing consternation among the Celestials. When it rushed up Pen- der street, one of the principal business centers, everything except the street cars had to make way and people were run- ning in all directions. More windows went éown, and then the big animal took to ghe residential district in the west end, two miles away from where it first start- ed. There people were forced to duck un- der sidewalks and hastily climb over fences to avoid being gored to death. Flnéxlly the steer was run down and las- soed. —_— SAN JOSE, Feb. 18.—The $30,000 damage suit brought by John Costeilo, a fourteen-year- | old boy, through his father, Michael Costello, against the Southern Pacific Company for thy loss of a leg, is on trial before Judge Hyland and a ju e —— ADVERTISEMENTS.
