'fc ., -'-.I:: Fitzgerald's Opinion of Jimmy Britt,;the Lightweight CALIFORNIA THE WINNER Got the Decision in the Twen tieth Round on ' ; Points i : - WAS the fastest and best FISTIC ENCOUNTER i THAT HAS EVER TRANSPIRED IX SAN FRANCISCO FITZGERALD 13 SAN FRANCICSCO. Cal., Pril 28- Referee Eddy Graney declared Jimmy Rritt the Winner of. one of le fastesrt and best fifht ever seen In San Fran cisco. WiU!e Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn, was the man who put up the good con tet against the ; California, wonder. Britt was the cleverer and faster of the two and landed two blows to Fitr irerald's one. With the exception of the last round, when Fitzgerald put the Kan Francisco boy on his haunches with a left swing to the jaw, Britfs su Iieriority was manifest during the en tire fight, jln the first round Fitzger ald sent Britt down but the Californlan was at no time distressed. He knew exactly what he was domg and when he got up, he started at Fitzgerald as if the flgrhj had just commenced. The gong, however, ended the round. - Fitzgerald had the advantage of Britt in height, reach and muscular develop ment, but he was not nearlyThis equal in speed or cleverness. Britt's. duck ing of right and left swings constituted some of the prettiest work ever seen here. Britt devoted most of his at tention to? Fitzgerald's stomach and landed numerous left punches that took the steam out of the Brooklyn boy. Britt occasionally landed on Fitzger hM's jaw, generally at the close of the round, but neither man was apparently .able to seriously punish the .other.

Britt demonstrated that he' Is one of tno fastest, coolest and most scientific men that hag ever appeared In the ring. Fitzgerald, after the fight, admit ted that the decision was a just one. He said that he injured his right hand in the second round when ' he knocked Britt down and was unable to do effec tive work! without injuring it in the re mainder of the fight.
