Godfrey's corner, the men spared a
moment, and hen Jackson landed such
a heavy left-hander on the Bostonian's
co%llar-bone that the blood appeared.
The blow was a furnishing one, and the
smile which had illuminated the small
mans face vanished for a few minutes.
1t was thought that his collar-bone was
broken, but his subsequent movements
showed that it was not.
The remainder OF the round was
marked by none OF the ferocious eight
ing OF the previous round. Jack
son kept on using his left at
long range, as if sparring for wind,
and, just as time was about to be
called, landed a blow on Godfrey's
mouth that drew blood. The Bostonian
laughed as he went TO mis- corner.
GODFREY GETS IN.
The fourth round was a hot one. 1t
seemed as if Jackson fought by alter
nate rounds. and after each unimpor
tant one went in to use up his man in
vigorous style. Both men were not
over lively to repond to the call of time.
Jackson opened hostilities with his left,
but was short. He followed with his
left and right, but was neatly stopped.
The Bostonian, encouraged by this sue
cess. took the offensive in determined
style, and supplemented a vigorous left
handler on the Jaw with a right
handed smash on the Australians neck
hat made the kangaroo hunter a
couple OF inches shorter. The Boston
ian's friends, who throughout seemed
to be most numerous, gave voice TO a
cheer of triumph, and, one excited in
dividual yelled, "a hundred on Cod
frey!" A cheerful and unanimous re-

spoiled he speculation, and the men
went on with their work.
led and got a heavy counter for his
trouble. Nothing daunted, he led
again, and got his dose repeated. Then
Jackson tried a left-hander and sue

another hot rally took place, the Bos-
tonian again striving manfully to plant
a Knockout blow, but getting badly used
by the i%n-fghting. A clinch took place,
and then, after some more sparring,
Godfrey tried with his left with busi-
ness intent, and got so heavily coun-
tered on the left eye that it bled during
the remainder Of the fight.
GODFREY NEARLY SLAUGHTERED.
The fifth round was a sample Of fight
ing such as has seldom been seen any
where. Godfrey began by splitting out

the scratch. 1t was thought that he
had lost some teeth, but this was not so.
Jackson seemed eager for business, and
Godfrey accommodated him by trying a
| left and right-hander, the first of which
went home, but the second did not.
Jackson caught his man with both fists
before he could recover, and the Ros-
tonian's chances for the next minute
looked blue. Smash after smash from
the huge Australians fist sounded on
his face till he changed to the color Of
an Indian, and Jackson's gloves grew
carmine. 1t looked as if the Bostonian
could never last out the round. Though
fairly slaughtered, he fought like a
tiger.
Jackson's white drawers were
sprinkled with blood by every blow.
The Bostonian staggered around the
ring, but though it was an effort for him
to stand, he still laughed.
1t was only n question Of Jackson's
holding out for a few minutes longer
for the fight to have ended then and
there, but the Australians lungs were
unequal to the demands of the hurri-
cane fight. His blows began to lack
force and in the critical moment time
was called.
JACKSON FORCES MATTERS.
Despite his punishment Godfrey
came up smiling for the sixth round,
which was marked by shots at long
range, followed by sparring and occas-
ional rallies till jackson worked his
man into a corner and went for him to
finish the job. 1t was a question
whether the Bostonian laughed or
bled the more freely He grinned as
the blood ran down his face and chest
and continued to fight like a tiger, but
he looked badly dilapidated when time
was called.
In the seventh round Jackson forced
the fighting and tried again to knock
out his man. He planted his lei, on hi:
face time after time without a return,
In the middle of the round Godfrey
braced up and it was give and take till
time was called.
GODFREY S GREAT ENDURANCE.
The eight round was also marked by
long-range hits, and more sparring than
had yet been INDUCED in. The tide
turned slightly In Godfrey's favor, anG
seemed not yet half over.
The ninth and tenth rounds were no
sensational. jackson still kept the lead
