nouncing everything colored. At Inter
vals from some indistinguishable point
in the crowd brickbats would hurl
over the intervening heads and orah
through windows. Chief of Police Chaui
berlin recognizing the Inadequacy of the
force at his disposal relied on diplomacy,
fearful of arousing the passions of the
mob, ho directed his men to lay aside
their truncheons. : '; ' .
Later the order regarding truncheons
was revoked but at no stage did the
police and populace come to blows.
Personal encounters ! were limited to
isolated attacks in the Japanese quar
ter'. " '' -;
The Japanese resisted armed with
1 Icnlvea, daggers, clubs and bottles. They
charged the crowd with shouts of
Uanzal., The crowd carried no arms
and scattered after a large amount of
damage, One white man was stabbed
toadly, another cut by a stilleto and an.
other had his head laid open with a
broken bottle. The man . stabbed is at
the hospital.

and foreign officials, who had Ions ex-
pwted an outbreak against, the Asiatics
in Canada, but they have great confi

careful handling, for whatever action is
taken is likely to be resented either by
the Colony or Japan. ,

have to pay damages and apologize to
Japan for damages caused by the Van

the outbreak should have taken place

question was all but solved between
the Canadian and Japane governments.

Joe 0n cost Jimmy Britt any chance
he might have bad to win the light
weight championship of the worbi today
and brought to a close five rounds of
fast fighting witnessed by a crowd of
14,000 people at Recreation Park. The
blow, which caught Gans on hi elbow,
was struck in the middle of the fourth
round. It broke Britt's, wrist and
though he went on ago in in the fifth
round he was helpless in hoth offense
and defense. It was not until this round
that he Informed his swonds of this
mishap. ,"
"What's the use of going ont I can't
fight. I'm helpless," he said to Tim
Kreling. Captain of Police Gleason was
notified at the ringside and stopped the
fight. Referee Welch gave the decision
to Gans. - .
Three doctors, after examination, stat
ed that the injury was a fracture and
dislocation of the lower end of the
ulna, the innermost bone of the wrist.
Whether it was genuine fracture or not
Brkt showed; such tinense suffering
while the doctor were manipulating his
wrist that tears rolled unchecked, dowa
his cheeks.
"I was utterly helpless," he said. , I
could' not even 'hold up my left hand
after I broke It. I had no guard for
Gans' left and no punch except my
right." - . -
The fight while it lasted was a (lug
ging match but it was perfectly evident
to every trained observer that Britt had
no chance to win from ther bcoto. For,
the first time in hi life he was out
matched.
Britt's Lu-k of coolness was partly re
sponsible' for the miserable ending of
the figh t, From the first tap of th
gong he, appeared overeager. He was
not content to take advice showered on
him by his seconds to make Gang do
the leading, 'but rushed headlong into
quarter that developed inevitable slug
ging match In which the champion had
by far the advantage.
In the flit round Britt staggered
Hans to the ropes with a left swing on
the neck that had lots of force in it. Iu
the fame round be also used his- left
and right successfully to the body and
face, but took in punishment straight
left on the nose that slowed him down.
The second round developed a mixup
at the roe in which both men exchanged
vicious rights and . lefts, Cans taking
the advantage.
In the third round Gans followed his
tactics of crowding Britt into a corner,
and the Callfornlan had his hands and
feet busy working his way out The
rrund wa even. Can drew first b!ood
iu the fourth with a lightning-like
straight left .that brought a scarlet
stream trkkling from the corner of
Britt' mouth. It was right after this

left swing that proAd his merciful un
doing., -r
