He Defeats Tommy Kelly in the Tenth
Round.
NEW YORK, May lO-The fight between
Tommy Kelly and Bill Plimmer for the 10
pound championship Of the world was de-
cided at the rooms Of the Coney Island Ath-
letic club. The fight was awarded to Plim-
mer in the tenth round. Plimmer who is
the 110-pound champion Of England, made
a showing as a boxer that stamped him as a
wonderfully clever man. Kelly scaled at
107ls pounds and Plimmer at 1885,. Kelly's
light weight added to the fear that he was
too fine, but few people knew Of it and
Kelly was the favorite i&the betting up to
the call Of time by TO 3. From the very
start Kelly was out Of it as a tactician He
attempted TO force the fighting in the first
three rounds but he was always met with
a straight punch that had him bleeding
from the nose and mouth before the third
round was over. After that Kelly kept
away and followed the ropes from one
angle to another, with Plimmer after him
all the while.
Kelly's hands were quick enough, but
Plimmer is a great youngster TO duck his
head, and most Of the Harlem lads blows
went wild Once in awhile Kelly landed on
the side Of Phmmer's head, but not until
after the force of his blows had been ex.
pended. He kept Plimmer active, however
until the ninth round, when the English
man fioored him with highlander on the
neck. Kelly's head went against the staging
with thump, but he got up gamely ano
did some fast infghting after that. He
went down again with the same kind Of
swing in that round, and in the tenth was
sent to grass twice by righthandeIs on the
jaw. On each occasion he tried to get up
but each time fell back on the floor The
last time he was counted out
Fred Burns, of the Vsruna Boat club, o.
