WESTERN ASS IN STANDING.
wALCorr WHIPS GREEN.
Californian Puts Up Stiff Fight but
was Knocked Out in 10 Rounds.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 27.-After
IS rounds of vicious fighting Joe Wal
colt knocked out George Green last
night at Woodward's pavilion before
1000 people. The betting was 10 to 71s
in Green's favor. Jack WEIGH acted
as referee.
In the sixth Walcott knocked Green
down three times and Green only saved
himself by clinching and going down.
However, Green came up fresh and
stood Walcott off during the seventh in
spite of the negro'S rushing efforts to
put him out. In the eighth round Wal
colt went at his man right and left,
landing nearly every time. Green
fought back gamely, but was apparent
ly no match for his colored opponent.
Green saved himself frequently by
clinching.
The succeeding rounds up to the eigh-
teenth were easy for Walcott. In this
round Green brac up some and car
ried off the honors.
The succeeding rounds up to the eigh-
teenth were all Wa1cott's, although
Green put up a stiff fight.
Round 18-Walcott'S infighting dur
ing the clincheS was very damaging
He landed short arm right and stag
gered Green. Another on the jaw sent
Green on the floor for eight seconds.
Green got up groggy and Walcott
knocked him against the ropes and put
him out with a succession of jolts on
the jaw Green was carried from the
ring unconscious and it was several
minutes before he recovered conscious
ness.
