my Fleming Carroll, Joe Choynski and
John Robinson, with Johnny Griffin, the
Braintres, Mass, feather-weight, as
time keeper.
The gloves having been adjusted, the
men shook hands and the battle began.
Round There was cautious sparring,
Skelly looking an inch taller than has
chocolate colored adversary. Both men
led for the head and clinched. Skelly
wanted to bs the aggressor. Pretty
sparring was INDUCED in when the
Brooklyn boy backed away from vicious
his opponents neck and followed 1t up
closely. Dixon was cautious and put a
straight left on his opponents head
without return. Dixon was forced to
his corner, where he clinchsd to avoid
punishment. As the gong sounded bot b
men led without much damage to either
and were sent to their seats.
Round 2-The men boxed cautiously for
an opening, Sicily still the aggressor.
Dixon attempted to land right and left,
and, missing, received q punch on the
stomach with Skelly's right. The coll
ored boy landed a good left handed
swing on his opponents breast and re-
ceived stinging right on the ear. A
moment later Dixon was the aggressor
and he landed two heavy lefts on the
face. Jack clinched and delivered a
heavy punchson the colored boys heart.
The fighting was fast and furious and
Dixon appeared to be getting the better
the Brooklynite did not look so well.
Round 3-Skelly was the aggressor,
and, stepping In, received a heavy left
which fioored him. Dixon now forced
matters and, proving too strong and
clever for his opponent, the latter slipped

DIXON WAS ExrEcIED TO WIN.

Providence Admirers of New Orleans
Bruisers Had Their Minds Made Up.
The Eddy street and st. George pool
rooms were more densely crowded last
night with local sports, eager to learn the
result of the Dixon-Skelly fight than
they were Monday night. Electric fans
and ventllators supplied fresh air to those
whose earnest efforts In behalf OF their
favorite pugulists had exhausted, but the
crowds stood and actually sweltered in
the almost suffocating atmosphere.
pRovIDENCE sports are naturally sym
pathetic, but they did not allow them
selves To he betrayed into betting their
money according To the dictates Of their
sympathy. The opinion freely expressed
last nigh. apropos OF the event AT New
Orleans was that Skelly's Wanting amb-
tion had overleaped Itself and that he had
been outclassed. As direct consequence
the prevailing odds yesterday and last
night on the streets, in hotel corridors,
saloons and pool rooms were 3 10 l on
Dixon. There were not many takers.
The auctioneers mounted their rostrums
and glibly commented OH the merits OF
the gladiators, dwelling AT great length
on the prime condition of Skelly.
In some quarters IL was not thought
that Dixon would secure fair play at New
Orleans. but this feeling soon gave way
to confidence in the honor OF the Olympic
Club and the judgment OF O'Rourke, the
willy PROVIDENCE trainer who is In charge
OF Dixon's interests. AS soon H. tue re-
turns began TO come in the only question
was as TO the duration, the number of
rounds. At no time was Skelly consid-
cred AS possible victor under ordinary
conditions. When the result of the fight
was bulletined no applause was heard
and the crowds filed out. No one had
been disappointed.

an awkward clinch, in which Dixon's
generalship ras much adm red. In the
exchange OF blows both mems heads
came together. Dixon followed up his
opponent closely. He landed a heavy
right and left and would have knocked
out his man but for a clinch. Skelly
looked beaten and was punched to tho
floor twice. He was game, howevt and
was saved by the sound OF the gong. Hs
was showing signs OF the terrible punish
ment. AS he sat in his corner he looked
limp and beaten.
Round S-Dixon stepped up to his man
and landed a light left on the head. The
men boxed carefully and came to a clinch.
Dixon forced his man into a corner
where he delivered heavy right and
Sicily stood the punishment. Hs

would, Skclly could not get mp before the
10 seconds elapsed and II fierce Duffy d.
clared Dixon the winner. Skelly showed
tight while strength was with him and
only gave up when Nature gave out.
