NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-George Dixon,
the colored featherweight champion,
and Eddie Santry of Chicago, met to-
night before the Broadway Athletic
Club for twenty rounds at 125 pounds,
and Referee Johnny White declared the
bout a draw. The clubhouse was
crowded to it's utmost limit, nearly o.
700 persons being present Dixon put
up a game exhibition, and Santry
showed wonderful improvement since
he appeared here last. Santry'S adj
vantage in hight stood him in good
stead, and the way he lodged his head
away from a great many of Dixon's
clever leads was extremely clever. Dix
on at times was wild, and he frequent
ly overreached himself, using poor
judgment as to distance. Santry went
right to his man, and from the very
beginning showed that he meant to
fight without adopting sprinting tactics.
Tom O'Rourke, Tom Sharkey and
. Charley Miner were in Dixon'S corner,
while Johnny German, Charley Burns
and Jack Quinn were in Santry's.
In the opening round Dixon was the
aggressor, with honors about even. a
left swing from Dixon in the second
landed on Santry's eye, and the Chica-
goan fought back viciously, driving his
right to the body, and at close quarter
bringing it up to the head George was
wild with his left swings in that
round as well as in the third, but he
managed to get his left hard to the
wind.
In the fourth round Dixon's right eye
was re-opened with a right swing from
Santry, and the latter paid attention to
this mark throughout the rest of the
fight.
At the close of the eighth round Dix
on swung his right on Santry'S head,
and Eddie replied with a similar blow,
landing back of the neck, sand Dixon
stumbled as the gong sounded. When
Santry went to his corner his nose was
bleeding.
During the ninth Dixon's left ear was
burst with a right swing, but he kept
throwing his left to the body.
In the tenth Dixon landed a back
hand blow with his left, and followed
with a hard right to the body.
: From this to the end of the nine
teenth round it was ding dong con-
test, with Dixon mainly on the ag-
gressive and Santry blocking very clev
erly. Dixon came like a whirlwind in
the last round, forcing and rushing. but
neither had any decided advantage at
the finish.
Tommy Sullivan of Brooklyn and
Jimmy Devers of this city met in the
preliminary. They also fought twenty
rounds. each weighing 120 pounds. Sui
Ivan won.
