UNHAPPY JOE.
Boxer Norman Hit Him a Little Too
Hard on the Jaw.
The Brunette Youth Wanted Satisfac
ton and He Got It-A Very
Brief Argument.

Happy Joe," the colored lightweight
lrboxer from Los Angeles, was knocked
out for the second time by boxer Nor
man Saturday night at the Comique The
ater. 1t was one of the shortest contests
seen in long time, yet it was thoroughly
satisfactory to the large crowd of sports
who were present.
Three weeks ago Norman and the col
ored youth engaged in friendly exhibit
ton sparring bout. Joe, however, essayed
to 'show off," and hit Norman harder
than is permissible in exhibition work.
This riled Norman and he sailed into the
brunette and knocked him senseless with
a powerful blow on the jaw. When
Happy Joe" recovered he declared that
he had been defeated by chance blow,
and he wanted another chance at Nor
man, this time in a genuine contest to a
finish-no more exhibition business for
him. Norman accepted and Saturday
nights contest was the result.
Both boxers had trained faithfully and
appeared in the ring in splendid physical
condition. Norman was trihe the taller
and pound or two heavier, vet this appa-
rent advantage was offset by the colored
mans magnificent muscular develop
ment and evident ability to hit hard.
During the first round both men were
quite cautious and only once did they
collide for a few seconds. But brief as
this collision was, it was sufficient TO
demonstrate that both men were in the
ring for business. There hitting was
clean and hard.
In the second round-the round had
scarcely been started-the black man met
his Waterloo. He started in to force
the white man and landed several hard
blows on his anatomy. Norman imme-
diately went at his opponent like a
demon. He followed him UP, delivering
several hard blows, and then, Just when
the spectators thought he was going to
desist, he sent in terrific right handler.
which caught Joe full on the left Jaw.

him and then dropping him like a log

minutes before the colored man recov-
