In only two round did the Dull have
the ('ullforiilun going, but lifter them
he rallied, and In the dosing round
Hrltt waa pummellng Nelson all over
tht ring, but hi blow lucked suffi
cient fore to put hi opponent out.
The fight win limply an exempllflca
lion of how mui-h a human bring ran
endure and not succumb. At several
of the crises of the fight It seemed the
dmightty little Dane could endure no
longer, but he alwnya came back game
ly to the firing line, and only once did
he have the "rrldc of the Olympic
distress this wua In the ninth round,
but, here llrltt's generulship saved
him, and the advice of hla seconds kept
him from going to clone quarters with
Ni'laon.
Unquestionably Nelaon ta a wonder
In the pugilistic world, for, time after
time, taking blow that ahould have put
out any ordinary fighter, he would, up
jiftrrnlly, rnme up In hla earlier form

though Nelsnn did moat of the leading,
llrltt displayed a greater ability aa
a boxer, and his blowa were cleaner
and more forceful, while Nelaon waa

Further description of the flg.it, by
rounds, is unnecessary. Nelson was
outclassed, .
The house waa one of the largest
ever seen In Bun Francisco, and It Is
estimated the little fighters will divide
about $40,000 between them.
Neither man, so good was their con

conflict, beyond some alight puffiness
about the eyes, except that Brltfs face
