Last night before the Broadway Ath
leLic Club of New York George Dixon, the
colored feather weight champion got the
decision over Frank Erne after o hard
fight of twenty five rounds. Erne led
very seldom and Dixon forced the fighting
all through the fight. When some Of the
light fighters offered to take Dixon's place
on account of Erne's being so much over
weight, the little Boston boxer said: mo,
no, not on your life; / don't care il he
weighs q ton; will fight him and lick
him." Tom ORourke, Dixon's manager,
de ,lared before the boys donned the gloves
that there was evidently some job up, and
he declared all bets off.
Dixon never looked better In his life, and
his work in the ring was worthy of his very
best days. To-night's contest showed
plainly that the decision recorded gainst
him in favor of Erne last year was not
merlted by Erne's fistic prowess
Dixon had the better of the fight through
out, and steadily forced the fighting.
He landed more frequently than his adver-
sary, and would have punished him hard
or had Erne not resorted to clinching. The
last two rounds Dixon cut loose and for
ced Erne to defend himself, and lively
battle was fought At tho end Erne was
considerably the worst for wear.
These two rounds in de tail follow;
Round a4-Dixon kept leading. and Err
ne simply clinched. Dixon swung left on
head. Dixon rushed and Erne jabbed his
left on ribs. Ecne landed left hand hook
in the side of Dixon's head when George
was in his own corner. As tie gong
sounded Erne sent his right to the car
Round 23-Thcy shook han DIS for the
wind-up, Dixon swung left on back of
neck, aud Erne swung right on neck.
They exchanged right body blows. Erne
swung right on shoulder, and Dixon miss.
ed left swing for the head. Dixon then
whipped his left on chest. They rushed
INTO cllnch and exchanged right jabs on
neck. Both rushed and swung short
rights on tho jaw and at the end of the
round they were clinched.
The referees decision in favor of Dixon
was received with cheers, and a floral
horse shoe was presented to him.
