Mysterious Billy" Smith Becomes the
Champion Welter-weight Fighter.
Mysterious Billy Smith defeated Tom Will
Jams OF Australia last night at the Coney
Island Athletic Club in the second round Of the
fgh. for the welter-weight championship. The
fighting was fast from the start and Williams
was given his quietus by left-handed swing on
the jaw.
1t was by no means large crowd which had
assembled when the opening bout was an
nGunced. but as the show progressed it gradu-
ally increased until the high water mark was
reached when Tom Williams and Billy Smith
the mysterious one OF Boston, met.
Tie referee announced that he would allow
the men to fight at close quarters until they
were locked-in other words, all the time they
had one arm free. As the men came up to
shake hands there was apparently little to choose
between them.
No time was lost after the gong sounded
Williams opening up with left ard right on
the face. Smith was a BIZ surprised. but soon
evsned up and went for his man. he ducked
TO avoid left and caught hard upper swing.
They broke and Smith landed two beauties,
left and right, on the Australians jaw, stagger-
ing him.
smith followed 1t up and fought Williams all
over the ring, pushing him more than knocking
him down twice, but having clearly the better
OF the round.
The New Workers were wrong again. The
Australian was no two to one shot.
In the second round the mysterious one came
up as strong as lion and Immediately went for
the Australian.
The latter returned the compliment but
Smith landed twice to Williams once. They
fought territically, and about the middle Of
the round were both groggy. Smith pushed
Williams down and then fought him to the
ropes.
II was evident the Australian could not last
much longer, and within another ten seconds
