Champion.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25.-The fight
between Peter Jackson, colOred, cham
pion heavy weight of Australia, and
George Godfrey, colored, pugilist of
Boston. which occurred here last night,
had been looked forward to with the
greatest interest in sporting circles for
more than month and the rooms of
the California Athletic club were
crowded when the men stepped
in the ring. The contest was
under the Marquis of Queensberry
rules for purse of $4,000. Hiram Cook,
of this city, acted as referee. The great
difference in the size of the two men
was very noticeable when they faced
each other in the ring. Jackson ap-
peared to be three OF four inches taller
than his opponent and weighed thirty
pounds more. In addition to this, his
long reach gave him advantages. which
Godfrey could not overcome, and with a
few exception, the hard blows which he
aimed at the Australian fell short. Both
men opened the fight with rush that
was maintained until the close.
The only Touchdown occurred
in the second round, when Jackson
upper-cut his opponent and sent him to
the floor. In the first ten rounds Jack
son had gained decided advantage,
though Godfrey made him work very
hard. In the last three rounds the
punishment which Godfrey received
was terrible. Jackson rushed him
around the ring and forced him against
the ropes, all the time raining fearful
blows upon his head and trying in vain
to beat him to the floor. Blood was
flowing very freely from Godfrey's face,
and in the nineteenth round he saw
there was no possibility of his returning
tire punishment and gave up the fight.
