DIXON THE WINNER.
Pierce Is Knocked Ont In the Third
hound.

COMFY ISLAND, August 7.-Neyer
since the Coney Island Athletic Club has
been pulling off pugilistlc contests has
such a tremendous throng gathered nj
their commodlous arena as the Fierce
Dixon bout has attracted here this even
ing. Every seat I'm the house was occu-
pied by the time the opening bout was
put on.
Pierce is a great favorlte in this city
and vicinity, and his admirers came
down In full force. There were many
tally-ho coach loads OF members from
the various athletic clubs Of New York
and Brooklyn. 1t is estimated that there
were between 5000 and 10000 spectators
I'm the building.
At 9 o'clock the exercises were begun
by a ten-round bout between Murphy
and Mcbride. for a purse of 81, 200. Nc
Bride won.
Dixon was the first to appear OF the
two who excited the greatest interest.
He was greeted with Wild applause. but
1t was apparent from the storm Of en-
tbusiasm that broke out when Pierce
climbed on the stage. hat he was a
twenty-to-one favorite.
Ii was 10 o'clock when the men began
their great battle. The purse they bat
tied for was $500. OF which the loser
received $500.
First Round-Dixon led with HIS left,
after a little f%einting. and caught Pierce
in the wind. lie visited the same spot
again. After some cautious sparring.
in which Dixon showed up to the best
advantage, the men tlinched on the
ropes. but broke away Of their own ac-
cord. Dixon then smashed him with his
left. and again with his right. A clinch
followed, and Dixon showed he was a
good hand at the game OF ~infghting. and
made Pierce break his hold. Dixon
caught Pierce again. and the round ended.
Second Round-After n short feint by
Dixon Pierce landed lightly on Dixon's
face and then ducked a right hand swing
cleverly. A sharp rally followed, Of
which Pierce appeared TO rave the adj
vantage. Dixon e~ndeavored TO land his
right. but was met and stopped very
cieveriy. Pierce appeared TO have gained
confidence In himself as the round closed.
Third Round-Dixon sent in his left and
sent his man TO the ropes. Dixon re-
peatedly sent in right and left on Pierce's
wind and law and knocked Pierce silly.
He went down and out. after repeated
iahs on tho law that would hive settled
a bigger and stronger man than Pierce.
1t was the universal verdict that Pierce
was a softer mark thar even Sicily.
He was cleverly outclassed and his aspi-
rations as a pugilist are forever settled.
II took nearly two minutes to bring him
20. The widest kind OF excitement pre-
vailed after the battle was over and
several free fights were started in d,f-
ferent parts Of the house. But. owing
10 the heavy police force present, the
scrappers were quickly separated. Pierce
was In no respect the equal OF Dixon.
and the majority Of the spectators went
home feeling that they had been buncoed
