MEET ‘TRAINING QUARTERS, JABEZ PREFERS To Qe ZA TRAIN IN Some Le QUIET, SECLUCED SPOT. BRITT AND WHITE ARE READY FOR THE GONG Battle Friday Night Between the Premiers of England and America Promises to Be the Greatest in a Decade. ‘ BY ROBERT EDGREN. The greatest prize ring battle of a decade will be fought in San Fran- elsco Friday night. It seems a curious thing that this important athletic event has been | 80 little noticed, There may be a feeling that any invading Englishman is foredoomed to defeat. Possibly astern sporting men underestimate the fighting quality of Jimmy Britt, all of whose battles have been fought in the Western States. Perhaps they believe that White is only another of the counterfeits that have been coming over here for a purse and a whipping. When John L, Sullivan stepped between ropes to face an invader, Amer- jean sporting men from every State in the Union crowded each other for vantage points at the ringside. They came from far and near to gee the battle, and they encountered untold hardships, running from sheriffs, | tramping scores of miles through rain and mud, keeping for weeks on a | day-and-night watch to avoid the chance of missing connections with an uncertain date, How They Used to Do It. That was In the “good old da when hardships only whetted the a that eventful date, But White is a fighter, where Palmer va | as only a cley petite for the sport, ‘Now a man pay8| oven “Jimmy syer, boxing ncrobat, olf $10 or $20, of less, and alts comfortably | lignt-welghits to-day, pute a ‘Terry.

Just turned professional, he gave Lavigne such a beating that the "Saginaw Kid" has never recovered from the effects of It He fought welter-weight Gans, trained town for once to the light-welght Mmit, and lost on a foul after whip- ping the Baltimorean to a standstill.
