By 'Will J. Blattery.
San Francisco, March 14 It begins
to look as though the sporting public
Is about to have Jimmy Britt foisted
upon it again. With Packy McFarland
on the ground, the 'terms for the com
battle, scheduled for the last even
ing of the present month, . have been
arranged and the rival fighters have
taken to their training camps to get
ready for action.
Still, Supervisor Stafford, chairman
of the collce committee and tho'man
who said that Brltt never will figure
In another fight here under the present
administration, has not been heard from.
There-are rumors that Btairera is. get
ting ready to put one over and that
he will start something when ha does.
The members of- the wise brigade , say
that Promoter Berger is not yet out of
the woods ana mat nis troubles are
oniv lust beginning, -v.
if Mcranana nas anytning, ne is
1 picked by the students of form to clean
Brltt handily. According to his reoord.
the Chicago crackerjack has engaged in
41 fights so lar.v or tnese is ended in
him favor by the knockout route. If
' those flsrures are correct, and McFar-
land's friends say tney are, - ne sure
should put Brltt away for the count,
because Jimmy Is not the fighter he
' was a couple of years ago. Everybody
knows that. ' ' 2
i McFarland. however, has never fig
ured In a big fight. His victories have
been over such men as Kid Goodman
' and Charlie v Neary,- lightweights who
jiever mounted tne rirst rung- or -tne
ladder to pugtlistlo fame. When Packy
failed to stow Freddie Welch,, the Brit
ihfir awav. the local snorts were very
much disappointed, most of them bet
ting mat ne wouia taae un tnginu
man's measure within eight rounds.
i McFarland Is a mild-mannered chap,
trim of build and of wiry physique. He
does not talk muoh, referring all ques-
. tloners to his manager. Harry Gtimore
Jr., whl Is fully Qualified to pass out
the conversation. All Packy will say
Is: "I want to knock Brltt out in or
der to show the fans of the coast that
I can fight and also to make good with
my friends In Chicago. If I am beaten
I will never return to my sold boms
again. Take this. from me straight"
Battling Nelson Is still hot on the
- trail of Berger, whom - he accuses of
I running out on tne agreement ne rnaae
Lwhlle in the south. According to Nel
son, Berger matched, him to ngnt tne
winner of tne Brut-mc aria na mixup
"and' guaranteed to give the fighters 60
per cent of the house, with an addition
al 10 per cent bonus on the side to the
"Durable pBn,"; Nelson vows that Ber,
; rer then signed up Brltt at a lower
figure and quietly ran .snit after leav
ing a note In- which he wrote that he
'would explain everything at a later
fdate. -u.f (
Now Ihe Dane Is howling mad-and is
" vowing vengeance on SamueL In his
latest letter. Nelson states-that if-Berger
wants him to meet- the wfnner , of
the coming fight, he will have to give
the f ighters 65 per- cent of the receipts
an also slip him a bonus on the side.
Nelson further stipulates that he will

city. This excellent specimen will sure
ly be on exhibition at the coming show.
Aside from being an almost perfect
type of bloodhound, the puppy is an ex
perienced trailer and Mr. Vaughn has
had numerous offers for him from
prison officials in various parts of the
country. He has refused all of them,
however, as he expects to be amply re-
rald for the care and attention given
he puppy by the help he will receive
from him In running down criminals.
Mr, Vaughn also owns a brother of this
which is a very light mark for either
Brltt or .McFarland to make.
Who really won the Britt-Nelson con
test at Los Angeles last week? This
Is the question that Is being asked all
along the line. As there was no ref
eree In the ring and no other person
officially appointed to make a decision,
the sporting public Is nn uproar and all
kinds of mlxups and disagreements have
resulted In this city as well as in Los
Angeles.
The sporting writers on the San
Francisco and Los Angeles papers were

half of them siding In with Brltt and
the others castlngthelr votes for the
Dane. Hence the trouble. Some of the
luvilrnnm, iuM nff on Nelson and Oth
era honored the Brltt tickets. Fist
flahts and wordy wars have been In or
der in the various poolrooms here over
the outcome and mere is more iuj
about the fistic freak now than the day
after the result of it had been scattered
broadcast. ....
Naturally, both tne principals lay
claim to victory. Nelson declares that
he would have put Brltt to the mat for

round. He says that James Edward
wea hana-lna on and SDarrlna for breath
when the last gong sounded and that
another - good wallop would have fixed
him. .
The Britts are snouting as ioua as
ever. Jimmy very moaestiy says mai
Nelson gave him a hard fight and re
luctantly admits that he simply stood
the Dane off and made a monkey out of
Viim nwtthAv Willi concurs and In-"
cidentally remarks that Nelson Is still
as tougn as ne was wnen ne oeai juniuy
In their memorable 18-round battle at

The whole truth of the matter Is that

New York, March 14. The showing
4 made by Frank Gotch in his recen
match with Joe Rogers was a distinct
disappointment, and there seems to be
very Uttle doubt that he will fall an
easy victim to the redoubtable "Russian
Lion'" when they meet in Chicago for
the world's championship match. When
Hackenschmldt met Rogers In London,
he threw him two falls with ridiculous
ease. ORourkes "Adonis," wltli his
immense size, was a child in the grasp
of the Russian champion. It is the
well nigh universal consensus among
mat experts who saw that match that
the two falls could have been secured
in half the time they were had Hack-
enBcnmiot so desired.
. While it -was a Di-ettv ambitious un
dertaklna to throw so heavy a man with
any knowledge whatever of wrestling as
Rogers, live times within an nour, tne
showing made by Gotch was distinctly
disappointing, and did not compare at
ail favorably With the work of the
"Russian Lion.1 Judging by the two
performances. Hackenschmldt seems to
ne in no aanaer or losine- tne cnamuion
ship during his present visit to ths
United States. .
It seems strange that English and
American names are so scarce among
the high class wrestlers. In a recent
tournament the bouts were as follows:
MOldt (Germany).' beat Hansen iuen-
marai: ah Hassan (xuraeyi, ueai ve
sirs Laurent - (France) ; Abdullah (Ar
menial, neat woldt (uermanyi; Amia
ble de la Calmette (France), beat Gio
vanni (Italy): Padoubnv (Russia), beat
Rodjab Pengal (Turkey). With Hacken
schmldt (Russia) and Zbysco (Hungary)
in tne list, tne foreigners seem to De
at the front as far as wrestling is con
cerned.
Eight exnerts ara still dlscusslna with
mors or less Interest the question of
the lucky punch brought-up by Ketch-
eirs victory over Mike "Twin'' suuivan.
Those fighters who have so called lucky
punches to their credit insist that there
more reason to Question the intent; of
a knockout blow delivered In the first
round than one delivered in the twen
tieth. There Is reason in thla Never
theless, 4 insist - that the element of
luck very zrecmentiv enters into the de
cision of a fight, and I believe every
man who has. followed the fight game
closely will agree with me on the propo
sition, i nave seen more man one rignt
which one of t-ie men had practically
won lost by a wild swing which - was
sent out with no other motive than the
general results, and. In a spirit of des
Deratlon. That it brought home the
goods does not In the least alter ths fact
tnat it was - c nance ratner man skill
which was to btfime.

chances for a wide awake American

there Is an opening among the French
for a man who can and will fight from
the tap of the gong, Lewis should be
able to get his share of the francs, to
say nothing of the louls d'ors or other
French synonyms for the long green.
I understand that Billy Papke, 'The
Illinois Cyclone,' lg In the same class
of fighters of which Jimmy Britt, Phil
adelphia Jack O'Brien and Tommy
Burns are shining examples in one re
spect at least. He seizes the cash with
a strangle hold, and It would take noth
in short of a Jimmy to pry him loose
from his share of the stake money.
Papke has keen fighting for only a short
time, and haa no very big purses to his
credit, but I understand he has no less
than $15,000 stowed safely away, and
has adopted the motto of Tommy Burns,
"You will never see them give any ben
efits for me."
Ketchell and Papke have not been
matched for the middle weight cham
pionship, but this in all probability will
be one of the next fights. These boys
should put up a battle which It would
bo well worth crossing a continent to
If Jack Johnson had been as anxious
to meet Tommy Burns as he has made
out he is. he should have been on his
way to England by i time. Johnson
and his manager seem to have a false
Impression as 16 the standing of the
big black in the fighting game. Burns
is as near heavyweight champion - as
any man can be until Jeffries passes
the fighting age. Outside Of his present
agent and a few of his newspaper
friends, Johnson has no mors claim to
right ror tne cnampionship than any
one of half a dozen others. Certainly
not more than the other black man, Joe
Jeanette. He should be glad to- get
on a fight with Burns on any .terms if
he reauy believes ne is a better man
than the tough little Canadian.' If he
should win the battle he would then be
in a position to talk aDout terms.
In the good old days It was the eua
torn of a champion to meet all comers
In his class under certain well de

true, xne man wno noias-tne cham
