BRITT ADOPTS ROUGH TACTICS That Jimmy Britt does not think it will be a parlor entertainment he is to attend next Tuesday night in Me- chanics’ Pavilion with Battling Nelson is evident from the work he is doing in training. There is a terrible earnestness in his boxin= with Frank Rafael and in his rough work with Tiv. Kreling to show what he expects when he meets the Dane. There is not a moment devoted to fancy boxing. It is all slug, slug and wrestle with a chance always of one of those fierce blows reaching a vital spot. Britt went three rounds with Rafael yesterday before the usual large gal- lery, including a number of ladies, who watched the miric warfare with bated breath and bulging eyes. Spider Kelly kept time and coached Britt when he saw an opening. Britt led with his right repeatedly, something he has not dore in recent fights. From his tactics in training it is evident he expects to wear Nelson down with his body blows which have been so effective with other opponents, If Nelson can assimilate these he is, in truth, an iron man. Britt " ill waste no blows on the hard ‘head of the Dane. He is hitting with won- derful precision, timing his blows to a nicety and seldom missing the mark at whick he aims. Britt boxed three rounds with Roach, a clever little 100-pounder from the Olympic Club. Britt contented himself with countering and his weight proved too much for his aggressive little spar- ring mate. After the boxing came the wrestling. The casual spectator gains the impres- sion that Kreling is trying to pull Britt's head off his shoulders from the manner in which they go tearing around the gymnasium. After pulling and hauling for some time they fall to slugging, taking the precaution to hit a £pot protected by a glove, thus follow- ing the tactics pursued by boxing in- structors, Kreling is the passive instrument in’ the hands of Britt, allowing the latter to do all the work. All these 'signs | point to some lively milling when Britt gets into action. He will be more speedy than Nelson or any one the lat- ter has met and how the Dane will off- set this advantage remains to be seen. Britt is taking so kindly to his work | that he will keep it up throughout the week. While he is within easy distance of the required weight he perspires freely, showing he is not drawn down too fine. Yesterdsy morning about the time the residents of Larkspur were yawn- ing and thinking it about time to rise Battling Nelson, attired in an oilskin and covered with mud, returned to his camp at Smiling Metzner's tavern after having hit the high places of Marin twv{’m twelve miles. . e neared camp he was sin “Out in the hail mflpthe rain andntnhg snow.” As his mud-covered clothes were being removed the Dane explain- | night at Woodward's Pavilion. Starting at Odds of LOS ANGELES, Dec. 13.—Three favorites, two second choices and an outsider were the winners to-day at Ascot. The outsider furnished the sensation of the day. It was in the second race, in which Fireball, holder of the track record for four and a half furlongs, was made a 6 to 5 fa- vorite. Tyrolean, Tramotor, Cutter and Hilona were also well played. Witch Hazel was coupled with Revel in the betting at 25 and 30 to 1. The race looked to be Fireball’s until the last fifty yards, when Witch Hazel came like a rocket on the outside and won by a nose from Fireball, with Hilona third. The first hurdle race of the season was won by the favorite, Milas, with Mrs. Grannan a close second and Dr. Long third. The best race on the card was the fourth at one mile and went to Prin- cess Tulane after a gallant struggle with Hans Wagner. Emperor of In- dia was third. Flo Bob, the favorite, ran last. Escalante beat High Chan- cellor, the favorite, in the fifth in the fast time of 1:09% for the Slauson course. Kenilworth was third. Cloche d’Or, Dutiful and Iras were mixed up ed: “This runping in. the mud is dandy. It reminds me of the days when I fought around Chicago.” After a brisk rub-down Bat took his gun and went into the foothills in quest of quall. An hour’s hard work was accomplish- ed in the gymnasium during the after- noon, when the Dane went through his usual stunts. After going four short but fast rounds with Eddie Santry, Bat hooked up with Stockings Kelly. It was curtains for Stockings in two rounds, as he received a love tap on the point of the jaw. Kelly says he distinctly saw his future home. A voung amateur from this city lasted about a round and a half. Nelson tipped the beam at 132% pounds. L GIVE AN UNPOPULAR VERDICT. Judges Award Against Joe Carroll in 3 a Boxing Contest. Jack O'Brien, the south side featherweight boxer, was given an un- merited decision over Joe Carroll, the champion amateur featherweight, at the Hayes Valley Club’s exhibjtion last The spectators showed their disapproval of the decision by roundly hooting the verdict of the judges. Referee Roche ‘was surprised at the decision, but it was not within his power to change it. Carroll outfought and outboxed O’Brien all the way and continually chased him about the ring during the four rounds. » able to Johnny Crowe still appears WITCH HAZEL IS A WINNER Thirty.- to One Leads Out the Favorite, Fireball. e in a nose-to-nose finish in the sixth race and were placed in the order named.

He jabbed Abe Label with his left during the four rounds and easily gained the palm. The best event of the evening was between Charlie Dunn and Young McClure, two 135-pounders. They put up a hard fight that went the limit. Dunn was given the decision after an even struggle. *“Chic” Law- lor outfought E4 Gallatin and re- ceived the palm after four rounds. A scared youth named Dave Dougherty fell down so often in his bout with Tanglefoot McGovern that his seconds threw up the sponge. Billy Kerns won the decision in the next bout.

The record for every mile un- | der the fifteen to fifty was slashed. The terrific pace heated the engine of the dare-devil's machine and he had to quit at the end of the fifty miles, from every record between fifty and sixty miles as well. Three thousand people stood with their hearts in their throats while Barney Oldfleld flew around the track. There was no wind, but the air was | heavy. : Charles Burman in his light-weight } touring car, Blue Streak, made two runs of four miles each. The second was not phenomenal, but the first was run in 4:13 7-10, the last mile being . clipped off in 1:02 1-5, which tied the world’s record for a mile, held by | Burman himself in this type of ma- | chine. | _All interest centered in the great!| Oldfield. Until the fifteenth mile was , finished no record was broken. That | | distance was covered in 14:02. which lowered Barney's own record of 14:05. Then up to twenty went the records. The twenty-five mile record | i made by Charles Kaiser at Cleveland, Ohio, was finished in 23:39 3-5, which was exactly 20 seconds better than Kaiser's time. Gorndt's thirty mile record of 28:47 was taken down to 28:38 4-5. Barney's fastest mile was the sixth. The time for that mile was 56 1-5 seconds. Barney declares the Fresno track is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, in the United States. He said he would return here for another try as soon as possible. He believes he can break every record he goes after on | it. The turns are perfect and the earth packed for speed. To-day he said it was too damp for the short distance records. L. Woy and George Warlow, two of the most experienced timers in the State, held the watches.

Tom Jenkins, the American, and | Buzayell, the Algerian, who are to par- | ticipate in the revival of wrestling at ‘Woodward’s Pavilion on Friday night, are two entirely different types of mar- velous muscular manhood. The skin of one is white and the other black, and as marked does the difference ap- pear in figure. Jenkins is tremendous, ponderous, massive. Buzayell is lithe, | sinewy, powerful. Of the two types Jenkins has the ideal wrestler’s form, the bull-like neck measuring nineteen inches and denoting enormous power, but the Algerian has a trunk that shows force In every breath and he moves with the agility of a panther. Buzayell is an Algerian, not a negro as many have imagined. His English tongue has not been cultivated enough to make conversation easy, but his French is fluent, and he speaks pure Arabic, according to a linquist who vis- ited him at the Hayes Valley Club yes- terday morning. There is a merry twinkle in the black's eye most of the time, but a scowl may be discerned when things do not go right while on the mat. He handled three bulky sons of France yesterday. One of the chaps wag a 200 pounder and no novice. The scowls were for him. Buzayell would be a bad man to arouse if his features tell the tale aright. —_— e Two Millions for Baseball.
