George Green acted as referee.
Time was called at 9:2l. The men are
allowed TO hit in the cllnches with one
arm free.
In the twentieth and last round Smith
forced the fighting and punched George
on the body and head with his right. In
the mixes Smith had all the best OF the
innghting. George Green, the referee,
had no hesitancy in awarding the de-
cls.on to Smith. The decision was re-
celved with no signs of dissatisfaction,
still Green agreed to have decision by

men were on their feet at the finish or
