Battling Dane Rules Choice
at Odds of 6? to 10
R. A. Smyth
Battling Nelson arid Jimmy Britt will meet iny r tKe;
ring for the third time in the Auditorium toniglit. Each
has trained carefully for the matcn,/and nothing has been
left "undone which would land' him : in the ring in health,
which is another name for condition; Neither can have
an excuss to offer on this score in case of defeat, as there
has been no^setback for either during the entire? spell of
training. Both are highly developed types of the present
day fighter, with . Nelson showing more ruggedness than
Britt, while the latter has more cleverness than his oppo
• - -
If either of the boxers needed an extra incentive to
spur him on to his greatest efforts, it would be found'in
tie prospective match with Joe Gans for the lightweight
championship . of .the world. •.
The Baltimore boxer has held this for years and both men; who
will appear tonight covet the title and the; emoluments that go^with
it. The winner has promised to meet Gans, and the first bid made
for the match gives the fighters $35,000 to be divided between them;
ait they may decide. .
NELSON STILL A TOPHEAVY FAVORITE
The Dane has been a consistent public choice since betting opened
on the fight. 'An effort was made to keep the price ; near even . money
for a time, but the market reached its level quickly/and the majority,
of the bets recorded yesterday were at odds of 10 to '6. .There" was
considerable Britt money in sight and it was • the beHef; of the com
missioners' that these Avoui(J>be the prevailing odds- AihtiJ thenien
entered the ring. It is possible that the admirer? of Nelson', in ; their
eagerness, will send the odds to 2 to I. :'. When, the • men met .af
Colma in" September, 1905, Britt ruled favorite at \7- to^jO!. ; When,
the shift in referee came at the iast moment Eddie Griiney.tpok
the place of Jim Jeffries, Graney called off -all' bets. \u25a0 ;;, : , N ;- : : \u25a0\u25a0
'.: • Neisph went to •the home of [Manager Nolan An -Larkspur; late
yesterday afternoon, so that he could have a; good night's rest and:
be away from the crowd which; usually: gathers^at a; training <juar- ;
ters the day of a fight. He will leave the Manncpunty-yiliage .ea^rljf
this afternoon, and will remaihrwith friends U until : -.-it]6. is ;:: itime:; to
undergo the process of weighing .... in. \ Britt Ayill • leave^S^aiuion's

Brother Willus. Ha will return there
after being -weigrhed and •/will remain:
until It is time to go to the Audi
torium. ;• • ' ' \u25a0 : ./ \u25a0 : : :\u25a0•• -
Both . boxers c were virtually a-t weight
yesterday and will not have to do any
tiresome work today to opme in (under
the* 133 ' pound mark.' The • weighing:
\u25a0will take place at Harry Leap's billiard
parlor on O'FarreU street,' near Fillmore
at 6 o'clock. The scales* will be placed
on a raised platform -so that all who
can gain entrance to the room will see 1
this detail, of the fight arrangements.
AJLMOST -A. DAY OF REST ;
The boxers did -hardly, more ; work
yesterday. than -would keep; them -In
health. Neither had any extra weight
to take off* so they took matters leliß
urely. • Nelson went oh the road In the
morning, but cut down the distance
considerably from' what he has been ac
customed to in Uie' height of-.hls train
ing.' He' played' some handball in 'J.he.
afternoon, punched the bag for a time,
wrestled^a little and did" some, shadow
boxing. . S3&
Most boxers' have \helr little super
stitions, such as 'waiting to enter the
ring with the right foot first, although,
they may come out head first or with
both feet at once. Nelson's supersti
tion Is centered In certain rounds,
which he thinks are his lucky ones.
He has advised friends to watch him
BO In the 3-7-11-17 rounds. This
sounds- like the signal of a football
team,' but, Nelson has unlimited faith
In Its efficacy.
There has been considerable talk. as
to Nelson's butting propensity. He
has been blamed by some for : his style ;
of fighting, although fouling \u25a0 was far
thest from his thoughts. ' He steps for
ward with head down as he covers up,
his- theory -t>e!ng that he thus shortens
the blow of his. opponent and reduces
its efficiency. Nelson has' been pro
nounced the' cleverest close in fighter
in the ring, and he has always been
effective at this style of milling. He
closes in on an opponent to escape
punishment, where another fighter
would try, to run away. His theory is
that . a fighter must , hit and go in in
stead of hitting and going away.'
Britt is perfectly satisfied>wlth his
condition. He took a walk yesterday
and then stayed out of doors /the
greater part of the day.
ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETED
Manager Alex Greggains has per
fected' his arrangements for handling
a' big crowd at 'the ftgh\ This is one
of the few big matches in sight, and
all the followers of the ring want to
witness - it. The seating was com
.'pleted yesterday and- the finishing
touches will be placed on the ring
'this morning. The gallery •will seat
3,000 spectators i. and It is expected . all
this space will be taken. The cheaper
seats on the ground floor have been' ln
, big demand. , >
The members of the San .Francisco
athletic club^will act as ushers and all
seats are guaranteed to the men who
hold' the corresponding coupons. \u25a0 The'
men for the preliminary will be in the
ring at 8:30 and Nelson and Britt have
agreed to be- ready for action soon
after 9 o'clock. " There will; be many
persons here from oui of town." Oak
land "will eenfl; a tstrong contingent.
Marysvllle also will be represented,
Barney Van Buskirk having arranged
to bring down a large party.

; less time than i it required at ! our . last meeting at \ Colma. I
believe that' wha't I have' claimed as to my fightings ability
will be thoroughly substantiated by my showing in this
contest. A victory in the present match means a chance to
demonstrate ;who is the best man— --Joe \u25a0, Gans or myself. My.
