C. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.—Mark off March 11, Woodward's Pavilion, if your calendar or in your diary, and when that day, or rather that night, comes around look out here for great fistic doings. They will in- terest the sport-loving populace of the entire country. “Young Corbett,” the hefty little eather-weight champion, stacks his “punch” and ring craftiness up against the peculiar crouch and wal- lops of Light-Weight Jimmy Britt on that date. With this announcement one Is al-j most tempted to remark ‘Enough said." Some one has said, “A word to the wise {5 sufficient.” The quo- tation seems especially applicable in this case. A Fight from the Start, Those who keep in mind pugilism’s historical facts have a fair idea of what will be seen when these knights of the wallop shape up to the clang of the battle-starting gong. A fight? Well, one might remark, “T'should say so.” Here they are: MARCH It. Uttle sawed-off champion are scarce. So the difference was split. Britt must shave off something. “Corbett” doesn’t have to, hence they {gure close together, And what will result? A fight worthy of the presence of the gods of war. Detalls of Match, “Corbett” and Britt settled all de- tails for their fight last night and signed the articles of the Hayes Val- ley Athletic Club, Under these aus- Pices they will fight at Woodward's Pavilion, which will be especially re- modelled for the occasion at a cost of | $10,000, The fighters are to post $2,500 each | with Referee Graney before 6 o'clock ;to-day.
