In this round Smith went down four times.
In the third round Goddard went after
Smith in wicked way, and pushing his
face back with the left-an old Australian
trick-he tried 10 copper Smith on the Jaw
and failed. Smith saw that he had very
poor chance by standing up and fighting his
big opponent, and resorted to running and
lodging tactics TO win. Goddard followed
him and punched every which way. and
frequently landed his right on the back of
Smiths neck. Smith, who got in a few
good right punches In Goddard's stomach,
was ''downed" five times
After this round Goddard did all the
fighting, while Smith, in the attempt 10
stay the 10 rounds. fell down several times

but when the latter informed him that he
was only playing possum, he allowed the
contest 10 proceed. In the sixth Smith went
down six times and in the seventh he went
down eight times, and then Captain Short
finally decided that the game was altogether
one-sded, aud ordered the match stopped,

the referee, called the contest a draw,
which was the only thing he could do under
the circumstances. Goddard was unmarked,
but Smith had bad left eye and very
much swollen mouth.
