Sydney, via Honolulu.
Peter jackson and Joe Goddard fought
an eight-round draw at Melbourne, Oc-
tober 10th. Jackson was in poor condi-
ton. The fight took place at the Crys-
tai Palace. Jackson was somewhat
taller than his opponent, and had a
longer reach. He weighed fourteen
stone; Goddard, thirteen. Jackson was
the first to get in blow, reaching God
dard's body slightly. Goddard rushed
and got home on Jackson's face. jack
son drove him back to the ropes with a
left-hand body stab. A clinch followed.
Goddard tried the La Blanche swing,
grazing Jackson's mouth. The round
closed with vicious infighting, Goddard
landing hard one on Jackson's head,
amid the cheers of the spectators.
Goddard took the lead in the second
round, and was countered. He rushed
and pounded Jackson about the ribs
The latter seemed surprised at his oppo-
nent's vigor. Half-arm fighting fol-
lowed, and Goddard went down. Two
handed fighting ended the round.
jackson was perspiring when time
was called for the third round. God
dard started in with both hands. Jack
son lowered his head as he tried body
hook, and Goddard struck lightly on
his opponents head getting bad cut
and going to the ground. Rising, he
forced Jackson to the ropes with smashes
on the ribs. He was, however, sent
down again with a blow in the face.
The round closed with Goddard rally
ing wildly.
The fourth round was one of the
fercest of the fight, the men punching
each other with both hands. There
was continual clinching and breaking
away. Goddard made rush and forced
Jackson across the ring amid great ex-
citement. The men were too much eX-
hausted to get in knock-down blow,
and were staggering toward each other
when time was cslled.
In the fifth both went down during
heavy countering. Goddard got in
number of clean bows on the face and
head. A ringing left-hander forced
jackson across the ropes, and ne showed
signs of distress.
Blows were pretty evenly exchanged
during the sixth round.
In the seventh, while the referee was
parting the combatants after clinch,
Jackson received a blow which caused
his seconds to cry "foul." The claim
was not allowed, and Goddard forced
his pace, planting his left on Jackson's
jaw, and his right on his ribs. Jackson
fought more warily, and got in several
good body blows.
In the eighth and last round, Jackson
tried hard to wind his man, but God
dard stood up to him, and got home
with both hands in the face, stopping
Jackson's rush. There were smart ex-
changes, and Goddard essayed a rush,
but Jackson stopped him with his left
on the ribs. Goddard landed his right
and left on Jackson's face. Time was
called, and the contest stopped.
The referee said one of the judges had
decided in favor of Jackson, and one in
favor of Goddard, so he declared the
contest draw.
They are matched to fight to a finish
in Sydney in February for a purse of
$1,000.
