NOBODY WAS KNOCKED OUT Californian Showed His Superior ity Over "Fitz" and Won the Decision. San Francisco, April 28. Referee Eddy Oraney tonight declared Jimmy Brltt the winner of one of the fastest anl ben: flints ever seen in.San Fran cisco, WHHe Fitzgerald of Brooklyn, N. Y.. was the man who put up the good contest against the California won der. Prltt was the cleverer and faster of the two, and landed two blows to Fltxscralds one. With the exception of the last round, when Fitz gerald put the San Francisco boy on his haunches with a M.ft swing to the Jaw, Britt's sueriorlty was manifest during the entire fight. In the first round FlUarerald sent the Californian down, but Brltt was at no time dig tressed. ;He knew exacely what he waa doing .md when he "got up he started nt FiUf-rald aa If the fight had Just commenced. The gong, how ever, ended the round. Fltxgerald had the advantage of Britt in height, reach and muscular develop ment, but ne yas not nearly his equal in speed or cleverness. ; Brltt's ducking of rlgh't and left swings constituted some of the prittlest work ever seen here". Britt devoted most of his attention to Fitzgerald's stomach and landed nu merous left punches that took the steam out ot the Brooklyn boy. Britt occasionally landed on Fitzgerald's jaw. generally at the close of a round, but neither man was apparently able to ' riously punish the other. Fitzgerald showed that he could punch hard with either band and take lota of punish ment.

He said that he had Injured his right hand in the second round when he knocked Britt dawn and vas unable to do ef fective work without Injuring it in th? remainder of the fight. He said he would like a return match, as he was confident that he could show that he was the better man of the two., H raid Brltt vas the hardest man he ever met. , Brltt said Fitzgerald was a good clean, honest fighter and the best man he had ever met. "He 's a better man than Frank Erne In that he can take punishment and ga the pace at a greater speed," said Brltt. The fight was remarkable because of the clean break aways and the fair ness of the contestants. According to agreement they wereat liberty to fight at all times and , were required to protect thmelves In clinches and mtxups. So lonj as they did not hit below the belt they were free to fight at all times. In spite of this agreement they broke cl?an every time at the suggestion of the referee, and there was not the slightest tinge of unfair new on either side. Brltt finished the light without a mark on him and Fitz gerald was also In good condition, nl though showing a few marks. WORTHLESS VAGABOND ASSAULTED A WOMAN.
