Show BY W D RISHEL The big fight of the year is sched ached scheduled scheduled to take place tomorrow night at Frisco when hen Jimmy Britt and Joe Gans Cans fight for Cor the lightweight cham charn championship championship These two men met once before three years ears ago and pulled off oft one of the biggest fakes Cakes in pugilistic history Gans Cans lying down in the fifth firth round apparently a badly beaten man when Britt stooped over mer and hit him himon himon himon on the floor It was as planned for a de deliberate deliberate deliberate liberate fowl Britt apparently had all the better of the fight in fact it looked as if f he completely outclassed Gans Cans but the dingy held his championship by winning on the foul Since that time Cans Gans has reformed ormed up and declared he would be bea a good boy bo from now on The fake on their last meeting has caused many to look for a fake take again this time but the writer does not believe bellevo Gans would again enter into a deal of this kind with any man alive Gans Gana knows what it Is to be down out and penniless This was the result of ten years of fighting and faking Since he reformed he is respected and has more money than he h ever had in his life lite He has learned by a bitter lesson that honesty In sports is the only way one can win at any game in the long run and will probably stick to this policy as long as ashe ashe ashe he remains in the ring Britt An Improved Fighter In figuring the dope on the two men menthe menthe menthe the last fight should therefore be left leCt out of all consideration A year ago agoa a match between Britt and Gans would have been the pugilistic joke of the tho century but Britts decisive victory over oyer Battling Nelson a month ago ao puts a new light on oil the ability o Tames Edward Britt did to Nelson what Gans could and is the only man manin manIn manIn in the world who had the Dane practically practically practically out Of OC course the beating Gans gave Nelson at Goldfield had something to do with Britts victory but the accounts of 0 the fight tight show that Britt must have Improved greatly In Inthe Inthe inthe the past two years It is this showing made by Britt and the fact that Joe Gans also took some terrible punishment from Nel Nd Nelson Nelson son that makes the match look like a good one It is a question if Gans Is Isas Isas isas as good a man as he was before beCore and it itIs itIs itIs Is a inch cinch that Britt is better For this reason Britt will have a lot of follow tollow followers ers em in this match and any man who thinks Gans Gana has an easy mark can find lots of takers for tor his money Decision on Bet B t Quite an argument has arisen over oyer a abet abet abet bet on the ball game played at Lagoon

foul Referee Bean would not allow it and in the tho tenth round Mike tried the trick again He went down with a groan looked as at if somebody had taken a stick of can dy from him and held up his hand
