Baltimorean at No Time in Danger of Losing to Calif ornian out of a return match with Britt. which I' had planned for Thanksgiving day. I am in hopes that the break, as some of the people near Britt's corner said ,it was. will prove to be of a slight ' nsture. so that I can get a chance to ! .redeem myself with the public in the I .rear future, and then g^et the one match! that I have been after since I made Joe Gans lie down and say sufficient at Goldfield. Xev.. after chasing Wm tor 2 hours and 4S minutes. I thir.k that public opinion all <*ver ;he United States is leaning toward an tfther Xelson-Gans Kpht to come off and settle for once and all the light weight championship of the world. Before my fight with Gans I was somewhat in doubt as to the result, but since I stood under h'.s onslaughts for 4* rounds and was forcing him to run for all he was worth to save himself ur/iil he quit under-fire and claimed a foiil. .there is no longer any question In my rn'.nd that I can beat him. All I want 5s another chance to fight Gans to prove both to him and to the ' public that I am his superior as a fighter. I am willing to meet Gans at any place. California or Nevada, San Frsncisco preferred, as long as we have an honest referee and fight at the light weight limit. Instead of the customary preliminary as at most fights there was some sing ir.fr by "That Quartet." which proved very popular with the spectators. The customary challenges were read at the ringside. George Memsic and myself were* present and Packey McFarland of Chicago, the coming fghter who has been doing g wit; 'good work back east, wired a challenge. By the way, I will give an account of his record up to date: Thirty-nine fight*. SS won by the knockout route and four on decisions. Think he Is worthy of notice? Just mark my word . and remember the name. There were many things out of tlie ordinary that came off at the fight yes terday/ Some persons had counter felted .1,000 bleacher seat tickets and . disposed most of them before three of the "peddiers" were pinched and lodged in jail, r Joe Thomas, the ex-champion welter weight, was introduced and challenged Young Ketchel for a return match and c $5,000 elds bet. Five minutes •6ter Ketchel was in the ring aad ac- , ;tpted the challenge. Here is the way I saw the fight by " Hoard I— They sttke fcsads.

Great Exhibitions for Three Rounds Gans Studies Jimmy's Style Until He Has Him Safe By Sam Berger -The fr£.!ity\ of public approval was clearly demonstrated yesterday when. «b Jlmrav Britt was Introduced as the ".gamest * lad that ever entered the * ring " the crowd cheered in perfect ac cord, but when in the ' fifth round ."Britt was unable to continue," as a re * suit of a broken band, there were many at the ringside who thought that he '" should have gone on. The fight for three rounds was a beautiful exhibition of the raanly art. " Tn the opening round, when Britt planted a terrific left hook on Gans" head, staggering Joe, there was many "a colored rooter at the ringside so . pale It was hard to. distinguish him from the whites. In the second and third rounds Gans forced Jiramy around the ring. leading lightly with. "his left and holding his right poised for action. Brjtt was always there. . #ver ready to mix. but, while Jimmy's * blows came with terrific speed. Gans' cleverness enabled him to avoid them '\u25a0 and he would retaliate by sending his * right across to the jaw with wonder fa 1 • accuracy. He raised a lump on Britt's eye in the second round aad "kept shooting an occasional one on . the damaged optic Britt fought back . detpnninetfiy and landed several hard . hooks' to- the~body which seemed to * hurt, the colored man. Gans continued -.to study Jimmy's style until the third round, and then his countenance de \u25a0 noted that he fell he he-Id Britt safe. The end csnv after the bell signaled the end of the fifth round. 'when Britt, In his corner, though groaning In cgony," begged to be allowed to con (tinue* Willie Britt was more than a. manager, however; he was a- brother, and seeing the frultlessness of having JJmmy cut to pieces, signaled defeat by -tossing- op the sponge. That he did the proper thing cannot be de nied by any one who can place him , self Irs a similar position. Gar.s showed himself to be a finished 'student of the manly art. Cool, self possessed, with his brain and body "working in perfect unison, his boxing! was a treat to any one'with a scientific i ':' know! edge of the game. He also !m- j preseed the rpectators by lifs gentle- \u25a0 manly bearing In the ring. Britt showed" the same old spirit.: c The- boy who has given more exhi bitions of courage than any fighter | in the ring never quailed under fire, j Kb was always trying, desperately at i tlxcee, but always trying-, and though! «t would have pleased the crowd tojsee either man take the count, it must be admitted that the lamentable accident was alone to blame. The representative crowd presented a great sight. Before the figrht "That Quartet" sang into a hurricane of ap plause. Houdini. the Handcuff "King, encountered as little trouble getting into a box seat as he has getting out of straitjackets aad handcuSEs. Tex Rickard walked around the ring-side offering any kind of money that Gan* would win, and Nat Goodwin and Siesrie Fried Sander also had some "joy" tickets. Britt Outclassed From First Punch Fighter of Boxer Style Has No Chance With Gans By Billy Nolan Jimmie Britt was outclassed from ; the first punch and never did have a j chance, and more than ever strength- ' ened my argument that no boxer | fighter of the type has any license to defeat Joe Gans. This battle has more : than proved how lucky Jimmy Britt ' was to catch the Battler in poor condi tion and outlast him. V.'hat a con trast the Nelson-Gans battle alongside of this contest at the ball park — Nelson forcing the colored boy from one side of the ring to the other and never giving him a chance to parry or *par. Right today I am ready and willing to sign the Dane with Gans in a finish contest and make It winner take all, this battle to take place in Nevada, where we are now offered a good purse. One stipulation I will ask for is that the battle take place cot sooner than Thanksgiving day. As to the accident. I do not think Britt quit, as he "has always proved himself game and Is entitled to the benefit of the doubt. However, I firm ly think it was a lucky thins for Britt, as he never had a chance to get first money, as the Baltimorean toyed with him all the way and practically had Britt well In hand any time he decided to end this uneven battlf. All I have to say 13 that "Wlllus Britt alone is the one that Jimmie should thank for getting him that lucky match with Nelson. Defeat of Britt Due to Accident Managing Brother Thinks He Had Champion Winded By Willus Britt Up to the time when Jimmy broke his hand in the fourth round be had a clear lead, and I feel confident that he would have defeated Gans decisively. He had Gans winded and would have beaten him down eventually had he not met with this Injury. Jimmy wanted to continue after the fifth round, but his seconds insisted that he had no chance with a crippled arm. It would have been foolish to allow him to go on under the handicap, which would have resulted in his being knocked out. To shew that we still believe that Jimmy has a chance to defeat Gans, we will fight Gar.s again and allow our end of the purse to go to charity, as well as making a substantial side bet. Physicians Differ as to Injury to Britt's Wrist Fighter Leaves the Ring Before Dr. McQcttlgan's Arrival VThen Britt was taken to hie dress ing room on the second floor of the clubhouse, Drs. Sullivan, Apple, fHlis and Rosencranx examined his injured hand. The first three agreed that the boxer was suffering from a fracture of the lower end of the ulna, a small bone in the wrist. Rosencranz, however, as serted emphatically that the bone was not fractured, but bruised. Rosencranz is Gans' physician and made the ex amination at the request of the colored champion." An Immense crowd waited at the door of the clubhouse. Announcer Billy Jordan called for Dr. Charles D. Mc- Gettigan, as Promoter Gleason and Gans and hie manager were anxious to have this physician's opinion. Before Dr. McGettlgan arrived, Britt jumped into a big red automobile and was whirled away to his brother's home In Buchanan street. When Dr. ilcGetti gan put in en appearance he was told that Britt had gone Into the front office. The physician hurried thither, but learned that Britt had left the grounds. An effort was made by newspaper men to have tbe arm examined by reputable physicians after Britt left the ring, but he refused to permit of an examination on the ground that enough persons had seen the Injury. Britt did cot leave the Injured member In the splints long, but had it encased in a plaster cast, thus effectively concealing any possible Injury. The cast was ap plied by Dr. John- F. Sullivan. The In jured member showed no signs of swelling, which was considered pe culiar. Britt was especially solicitous that no Inquiry be made of Dr. McGettigan. who ranks with the best surgeons In the city. Gans' Share of Receipts Is $16,156— Britt Gets $10,770 Less Than $9,000 fs Left for the Expenses of Fight Promoters J The receipts of the Gans-Britt fight, while large, fell short of the estimate of the promoter, Manager Jack Glea son. "Hie receipts at the gate totaled j $35,903. The fighters took the lion's ! share of this, as they received 75 per | cent, or J25.927.25. This was in turn j divided, €0 per cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser. Gans" share of the purse was $16,156.35. while Britt took $10,770.90 to salve his injured feelings. , .;. , The promoter is In a fair way to lose some money on the venture, a« he has only $8,975.75 with which to pay the ; many expenses: Incurred fin. presenting what promised to be a. great spectacle. The fee of Referee Jack Welsh was 1 $500. which was paid out of the fight ers* share of the receipts. Bogus Ticket Flood Leads to Arrest of Three Sellers Men Are Booked on Charge of Defrauding Purchasers John Augusto, 'James Henry and John Coghlan were arrested in" theT vicinity of the baseball": park yesterday, after noon for obtaining money by, false pre tenses and were charged; with . having sold eeveral hundred counterfeit ad mission tickets for the Britt-Gans fight.

SEPTEMBER .10, 1907. Scenes at the Ringside, Sketched by Cartoonist Ewer Statements by Principals and Referee I am very sorry that the contest ended as it did, for I would have liked to put over the "knockout punch which I .had ready to deliver. The fight certainly would have ended in the. next round, as Britt was at my mercy. I began to measure, him after the second round and could have knocked him out at any time, but I did. not want to take any chances and went at my work systematically. The best punch that Britt hit me was that left to the jaw in the first round. There was a lot of force behind it and I felt it for a couple of minutes. His body blows did not disturb me ir. the' least. I blocked nearly all of them and the ones that did land had no force. Britt is an easier man to beat than Kid Herman, for the reason that he can not punch hard. Ido not care about censuring him, but I will admit that I was very much disappointed and displeased at his action. I wanted to finish the job that I had started so well. — JOE GANS. I broke my left hand in the fourth round, when it came into contact with Gans' elbow after I had started a hard swing for the stomach. I wanted to keep on fighting, but Spider Kelly, ray chief second, would not permit me to do so, 'saying that I might injure myself per manently. I don't care what any of them say — I was winning. I can beat Gans any time I start against him. Iwas punishing him on the body with my rights and lefts and his blows did not affect me. I will fight him at any time he wants, for I am more confident now than ever that lam his master in the ring. Of course, I am sorry at the unfortunate outcome, but it can not be helped. Had I been allowed, I would have kept right on fighting, as I always do. Just . as soon ; as it can be arranged, I . will take on Gans again and show the public that I can beat him. I am-itill in the fighting business and will remain there while there is a chance to get a match— JIMMY BRITT. ~^/ Gans simply outclassed Britt and the native, son did not have a chance at any stage of the game. I heard something crack in the fourth round, after Gans had blocked a left swing to the body with his elbow. Now, Ido not want to go on record as saying that Britt did break his hand then. He said nothing to me and L was very much surprised when, before the gong sounded for the sixth round, he an nounced that \u25a0he had injured himself. I believe that Gans is the most scientific and I the greatest all around fighter in the ring today. He has everything that a boxer needs. He can hit, block, sidestep and measure his man with apparent ease, and Britt never did figure to hurt him. , At that, I believe that Jimmy made some of those body blows of his count ; but as soon as Gans had taken his measure m that second round there was nothing to it. After that time Gans blocked everything that Britt sent in and was waiting for a chance to score a knockout.— JACK WELSH. supposed to have been ; secured from the sale of the fraudulent pasteboards.

The other metnbers'of the Barbarians did not play up to their individual records, but the. forwards did well, their scrum work at times being ex cellent.
