THE OREGON : DAILY . jOUKyAIg-rOBTLAyP. THURSDAY ETENTN G ty QTEMBER 27, 190ST I.J - (Hill ; ; ' 1 (IIIPIOII J immy Britt Puts Frank Erae Oat Seven Rounds of Fierce, Fast and Clever Fighting The Knockout. BAN .FRANCISCO. Nov. 27. Jimmy Britt, In his defeat of Frank Erne last night at the Mechanics' Pavilllon, became the lightweight champion of the world. Jt took him seven rounds of fierce fight ing to wrest the laurels from the uncon uuered Swiss wonder from Buffalo. Never In the history of the ring have . two men, faced each other who were In better condition to give a good account of themselves. In slsc, skill and pluck they were practically the same. Erne, while the older and more experienced lighter, and cleverer by long odds, coulcf not land the effective punches, that seem ed so easy for his shifty young antagon- ' 1st. From the first clang of the gong Britt went Into the fight to win. He put up an aggressive and vicious battle. Mis continual rushing and rain of blows kept Erne busy. In the fifth round It looked as If the pride of California would meet - with defeat. Erne landed a number of bard uppercuts on - the chin and Britt was on the verge of defeat, when the beU saved him. In the sixth Britt fairly beat down his opponent. Hard blows fell like hail on the body of Erne, who could not protect himself, and t the call of time was ss good as out. In the seventh round all that was necessary wag for Britt to put on the finishing touches. He landed on the solar plexus and fol lowed up with a swing on the jaw. BATTLE BY ROUNDS.

Terry McOovern Is the best advertised pugilist who ever stood before the Ameri can public. 8am Harris, his manager, is a genius when It comes to keeping, his former champion before the footlights of publlo gaie. No man has concocted more schemes to bring -this end about than McOovern'. manager, but his latest schema Is well worthy of comment. See ing that It waa useless to attempt to at tract attention by telling how easily Terry would whip "Toun Corbett," or t make any 'talk about that' contest, Harris fell upon another plan. Ths other afternoon in New York he had Terry don the gloves with tha boxing kangaroo, and, to make things look all the better from an adver tising standpoint, the kangaroo was given the credit of knocking Terry out. Big cuts and bigger head lines appeared in one of the-New York papers, telling of iVt,. j'-fcfr it i- J V S3?

If it ever comes to a stage where Har ris finds himself out of advertising funds In. the.. way.. of a scheme, It would not b surprising to read of hig having had a street light with McGovern. But this seems to be an age when u pugilist who pnly intends to fight will go hungry. The public demands mat He lain, wni-incr ragtime or otherwise, and that he indulge In some outlundish things every weeks. MAHER AND CARTER.

Jack Clifford, the Montana lightweight, matched to fight Toby Irwin before tha Acme Club of Oakland on December 18. played professional baseball -before ha branched out In the . fighting . busi ness. His laat playing waa with Salt Lake City, for which club he caught last season. Clifford is comparatively a new-comer In .the prize ring, fighting hla first fight only 18 months ago, but ho has rapidly lorged to the front, and his back ers are now sanguine that he can beat the winner of the Brltt-Erne battle next week. The biggest clean-up Clifford has made was when he defeated Jack Wade, who held the championship of Montana until he wrested It from him. Wade was the idol of Charley Clark, the son of 8enator Clark, .the multi-millionaire. Unlike his father, young Clark Is passionately fond of all kinds of sport, and he has. taken a hand in promoting the same. When Clif ford loomed up on the horison as a fighter of ability Clark at once selected him to meet Wade. -In order to bring them to- it if a gPther he .offere4,Cliffojcd tu(tiD in or ion, to hght Wade, and the fng end of the )Wf end of the purse in the eient that lie was successful. ( lurk backed Wade to a standstill, but Clifford gave him a sound beating, and pulled down $1,500 on the mill. Some of the money he won from Clark he brought to California to bet on himself, and when he meets Irwin It will go up. Irwin arid Clifford agreed upon 135 pounds at 3 o'clock for weight. The referee will be se lected later. FITZ'S NEW STl'XT. ; Robert Fitzsimmons. the ex-world's ' champion, is writing a play.

' . - A. point where he eould - eut-do wrr- that distance to nothing-, and then nose out victory, is so remHrkable a task that horsemen may well doubt Delmar s ability to do th- trick. Like C'resceus. both McKerron and Delmar are fell muscled horses, and show'u long stride. Neither, however, has reached that marvelous muscular development that is shown In Cres ceus. It is well settled In the minds of horsemen that horse with a short stride will ever hold tha world'a one-mile trotting record. " " r. Expert Settach's Talk to Beginners Advice as to Use of Ball and Style in RoIIiogThe Regu lar Stride "ST!" Cap't. -A1." Selbach, the well-known ball player, who captained the Baltimore American League team this past season, and who is at the head of the Ail-American bowling team, now touring the West, in discussing the game, says: "Control is the whole thing in bowling. The knowledge of how to hold a ball or push a ball is the entire science, and It requires careful attention and constant practice. Knowledge of the alleys comes next. Now as to style and manner of de livery. For myself, my main hold is spares. J am not a strike bowler, because I have two different kinds of balls. 1 use a curve which is not the same as Voor hels' great twist. The ball I use Is a fast bail with a hook. It is the ball that goes three quarters of the way down and then shoots In and twins. 1 seldom leave the No. 5 pin, and I use either side pluying. either for the 1 and 3 or the 1 and 'l. "For a beginner the first thing is to know how to start. He should first of all get a ball in which the thumb and finder hole is Just fitted for him. It should be Just the same Blze as the thumb and finger, so that both can slip in and out easily and at the same time afford a close and positive grip. The holes should be bored so the linger will not stick at the delivery. TRY FOR SIDE OF HEAD PIN. "In rolling he should first try to lay the ball on the edge of the alley from the right corner or edge and shoot for the center, trying to stay there and lilt No. 1 and No. 3 ptns. With a hit of then two pins you will seldom have a split, as the ball goes in and gets the u pin, and Is bound to bring a strike or leave up but one i!n. "After getting so he can hit the head pin and control his ball the bowler should learn to twist the ball, which is done by throwing the thumb toward the head pin. This must be done with a tight grip, not a loose grip, and the bull should be shot from the edge. "A right-handed bowler will shoot from the right edge or corner and turn the thumb In toward the left ever so little with a firm grip. By so doing he catches the head pin and bores right through to the 5 pin and scores a strike, or. at the worst, gets nine on the roll. The curve ball demands practice. A ball such us .Voorhels uses and is master of Is the most difficult to attain. There Is no man Hying who , can surpass Voorhels with his curve and control. It Is wholly dif ferent frm that of the other men on the team, lAtl few have attained real pro- tteiencyHtt that ilelfvery. nllhoneh there are short curves or hooks and twisters which are used by all the professional bowlers and the cracs r.:iiteurs. STRAIGHT1 BALL BOWLERS. "A straight-ball bowler should always use the game kind of ball, but should shoot to hit the head pin about three quarters full. This hitting at three quar ters full Is bound to win a strike. Wolfe uses that kind of a ball, but with a slight reverse twist. Peterson, to some extent, uses the same kind of a hall. "The bowler, to start, should never step before he swings. He should swjng anil step together. He should stand with his feet together and start the left foot for ward at the same time he swings, lie should draw an Imaginary line from the right edge of the alley to the No. 1 and No. .1 pins. Don't look at the bunch of pins, but at the 1 and 3, Just as if they were the only two pins up. In looking at the imaginary line, fix the distance about half way down the alley to place the ball, and if the bowler hns control, which he will get with practice, which Is everything in bowling, he will strike or get nine. GETTING A REGl'LAR STRIDE. "One main point is never to start, when In a contest, to bowl at the same time the man on the next alley starts. Either go ahead or wait on him. ami never hurry. You must watch , the foul line, hjJJL.lt you rcmsiOibeF. .alwa-ya tiijl thr.r steps and become1, accustomed to Mils you will never go over the line. Some bowlers take short steps Instead of the regular stride, and then they take four or even five, but you must accustom yourself to the same thing all the time, and then you will acquire the proper poise or balance and be able t,, stop at the right Instant. One effective delivery Is to take ordinary steps to gain mo mentum and stop with a little side. This is effective, but many of us do not Use the slide now as frequently as in former da ys. ' Don't trv to use more peed than you can control the ball with. This Is the trouble with half of the bowlers. They try to use more speed than they are able to control. SLOW BAI.I.S FDR LIGHT PTNS. "With light pins w- use a slow ball mid take ii chance, and never hit them full. In case heavy pins are useil we put mi more speed, and hit the Jieaii pin f.uljer. That- ts-to catch The S-1 pin: AVI'th" light' pins you must hit thin, as light pins will fly up In the air Instead ol rolling Into the others'. Inst the same as any light substance. The object is to ilrlve the heavy pins In so as to hit the No. . pin. "In hohllng and delivering the ball, al ways have the thumb forward before dropping it Never drop tile ball back of. you. You watch the average bow lei- ami notice how many times he drops the ball htfWnd instead, of In front ot him, TWw loses the control, and the aim is de stroyed. "New bowlers can only hope to acquire control and easy delivery with practice. Speed Is not so essential as control, and the main fault with amateurs is that they slam the ball down the alley with the Idea that the harder they throw the more ptns are going down. As a matter W.
