Britt and Nelson Fight Examined for Heart Strain
A physician who watched the Britt Nelson bout attributes Britt’s defeat to heart overtaxing. He notes bluish discoloration on Britt’s back from round four, lasting to the end, and similar brief marks on Nelson. Overtraining and sea bathing in low atmospheric pressure, not mountains, are cited as causes. Receipts of the contest totaled 48,311 dollars.

Baseball Notes From The National League Update
Fielder Jones has been chased off Detroit grounds three times this year while Washington has not turned a double play against Cleveland. Rain spoiled a Departmental League double header last evening. The Nationals have won thirteen more games to date than the Senators did in 1904. Washington closes its series with Boston and then heads to New York. Manager Stahl is swinging for hits with twenty five safeties in eighteen games. Pittsburg fights to overtake the Giants but likely cannot reach McGraw's crew. If Athletics face Giants in the world series many Washington fans will travel to Philadelphia. Yesterday rain ruined a Highlanders Athletics double header in Philadelphia. If not moved to New York next week, two more Quaker City games remain. It would honor umpire Jack Sheridan by naming him arbitrator in the world championship games. Tom Hughes’s brother debuted against the Washingtons as Nationals tease Chesbro, famed in the era for his pitching.
