THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, AUGUST | RASSRSEE | o< BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW EDITED BY ROBERT EDGREN, BRITT WINS OVER NELSON IN FIERCE 20-ROUND BATTLE His Rushes With Hard Punches and Made Him Helpless in the: E Closing Rounds, \ *~ SAN FRANCISCO, ‘Aug. 1—Battling Nelson’s star is set. He Staggered from the ring of the Auditorium Rihk after a terrific beating at the hands of Jimmy Britt, even his ferocious nature subdued. The bell: saved. him from being knocked out. The Californian beat him 4 to 1—outboxed, outfought and even outgamed him. Wheri the ref- " eree gave the decision to Britt at the end of the twenty-round battle— -one of the fiercest in the annals of the prize-ring—there was-not a dis- ' senting voice in the house. Victory crowned Britt's superior science and "| generalship. It was a grudge battle. Each had a victory to his credit. _ An added prize was to be a meeting with Joe Gans at Reno for a $35,000 - | purse. : a There were many who saw the fight—followers of the game who “have seen Nelson and Britt in their three historic battles—who believe _ that the peerless Joe Gans took the sting out of the Fighting Dane's : blows when he gave him a beating at Goldfield. He did not seem to F- | te the Nelson of old—the bruising, tireless, invincible fighting machine > that swept aside all comers until eclipsed by the dusky Gans. Britt beat | him all the way, and had him helpless at the end. ‘ - He was still the same brutal Nelson. |ing much clever ducking and smother- ing.
