BATTLING NELSON WAS BATTERED

“Battling” Nelson, the Hege wisch prize fighter, was battered into oblivion Wednesday night by “Jimmy” Britt, at San Francisco. The fight went twenty rounds and to all appearances, it was square, which was a great treat to the patrons there who-have been giving up their money to see fake fights for so long. The fight took place at 9 o’clock, every seat having been taken, and many hundreds seeking admission were turned away.
