Before the Chesapeake Athletic Club at Brooks’ Hall last night Young Britt knocked out Young Whistler (George Woelfel) in 2-1/2 minutes. Though Whistler landed two blows on Britt’s face, he never had a hook in. Britt had him virtually beaten after a minute’s fighting.
It was stated as a fact that they boys were each backed for $100, and there was a fair crowd present to see the battle. Young Britt in hurricane fashion knocked his man out with a body blow, followed by a right and left to the jaw.
