Comparative Ease.

The White Man Wins a Plucky Fight With
Comparative Ease.
San Francisco, October 29-Mechan-
les pavilion was crowded as never be-
fore in its history to witness the vic
tory Of Lavigne over Walcott tonight.
Both were in splendid condition when
they entered the ring, about 10 o'clock.
Lavigne forced the fighting from the
start, and in the first round had Wal
colt clinching to avoid punishment in
his terrific rushes. Lavigne got first
blood in this round. Walcott fought
on the defensive in the next few rounds
and took a great deal of punishment.
The fighting was the fastest ever
seen here.
In the eighth Lavigne landed repeat
edly on the jaw and body, and Walcott
clinched.
In the ninth Lavigne rushed Walcott
to the ropes and placed his right over
the heart. Walcott appeared tired and
clinched in every exchange. At the
end of the round Joe limped, and his
seconds rubbed him with liniment.
In the tenth and eleventh rounds
Lavigne had his opponent going. He
was powerless to stop the awful rusnes.
In the twelfth round it looked like a
question of time merely, and Walcott' s
seconds threw up the sponge amid a
scene of wild cheering for Lavigne.
who was pronounced favorite in the
battle.
