DIXON DEFEATED
Frank Erne AWarde d the
Decision after Twenty
Rounds.
CHAMPIONS FIRST SETBACK.
The Bout Was so Even That Draw
Would Have Satisfied the Spectators
Better-A Spirited Contest

NEW YoRx, Nov. q Prank Erne. of
Buffalo, received the decision OF Refe-
rec Sam Austin at the conclusion Of
his twepty-rouDd glove contest with
Champion George Dixon, at the Broad
way Athletic club tonight. Erne
showed remarkable cleverness, and
proved the hardest man that Dixon
has ever faced. but to the majority Of
sporting men who saw the bout it APP
peared that draw would have been a
more lust verdict Dixon did nearly
all the leading from the start. but to-
ward the end he gave up his attack
and merely tried to land knockout
blow.
Erne proved to be q hard hitter, and
punished the champions eyes until
both were badly swollen. But at the
same time the Buffalo pugilist receiv-
ed such a large numbtr of body punch
es that his ribs and stomach were al
most raw
When the battle was over very few
persons in the building expected to
see the decision given to either man
and on all sides were cries for draw
But the referee, without hesitation
declared that Erne had won. There
was a wild cheer from 1000 throats, fol
the decision was in favor of populal
fighter, but upon rejecting the ex
perts saw that Dixon had been depriv
ed of the credit of forcing the issue
and doing the bulk of the work. TIT
referee explained that be had giveI
the fight TO Erne because the latte
had outpointed Dixon, but he also salt
that the title of champion feather
weight still belonged to the little col
ored lad, who would have to be beatel
in a finish fight TO lose his laureis.
Erne deserves credit for putting VI
the fastest aggressive work of any Pc
: gilist that has met the champion, no
barring Tommy White, Of Chicago
> he stood up to Oixon's fiercest rushe
, like q man and was not afraid to mi
thin1s. At mitigating he was perhap
a bit superior, but at long range
: was clearly out-classed.
; In defensive tactics, Erne Shove
! all the skill of a real ring general, an
throughout the encounter he neve
lost his head, keeping well within him
self and taking 10 chances. He did n
T wild swinging and left very few open
! ings, but he was unable to block o
q the majority OF heavy punches thu
Dixon drove to his body.
