or was forced to do so by his opponen,s,

to advantage and landed several blow,
on Dixon's head with telling effect, 4,
anything johnson had a shade the hoe,
of the round.
Tenth round-Dixon held off until bo
got a good opening then landed on hi.

shape and was perfectly contented with
countering with his right every time
Dixon ZANE to him.
Thirteenth round-There was little
real hard fighting done in this round as
both were cautious and only led where
they thought they had a good opening.
Dixon got in some telling blows toward
the close of the round which had
marked effect on the Englishman, who
was a trit1e tired at the call of time when
he went to his corner.
Fourteenth round-Johnson was a
trit1e groggy when he came up owing to
the punishment he received in the pre-.
vious round and the in which
Dixon followed up this advantage and
planted his right and left did not impnp
JOhnson's condition in the least. They
had scarcely been fighting two minutes
when Dixon planted his left full on the
point of johnson jaw and followed it up
with his right with such force that be
fell on him as he went down. The fall
was what finished johnson as The
back of his head struck the floor with
such force that he was knocked inselsi,
bic. He made four or five attempts TO
rise but the attempts were f~ruitless and
Dixon was declared the winner.
