DIXON LAYS OUT PLUTO.
The south African Gave 1t Up in the
Tenth Round.


New York, Jan. 17.-Once more George
Dixon proved his cleverness and hard hit
ting ability tonight at the Lenox Ath-
letic Club where he met and defeated
young Pluto of South Africa in the tenth
round of what was to have been a twenty
round bout
The Knockout came in the shape of a
left swing in the stomach which crushed
the wind out of the latest arrival among
the short-haired fraternity in this country.
Pluto was heralded as a world beaten by
his friends but although he is very clever
in defensive work and undoubtedly game.
he was never dangerous.
Dixon soon battered down the Africans
guard, and early in the fight demonstrated
that he was Plutos master. As the
rounds passed Pluto's strength was fast
ebbing, while Dixon showed no signs of
distress. On the contrary, he seemed to
gain renewed energy and forced his op-
ponent all over the ring. He rained lefts
and rights on his head and body receiv-
ing only an occasional blow in return.
In the ninth round he should have
knocked his man out, as the opportunity
presented itself for a right swing to tie
jaw. Dixon did not try to take advantage
of this chance, as he plainly saw that
Pluto could not go much further, and he
was right in so Judging
Although Dixon cannot hit as hard as
formerly, his wonderful cleverness sGll
stands 10 him, and it looks now as if he
will be able 10 hold his own against ala
Corners for a long time to come
Dixon weight was lis pounds, while that
of Pluto was about 126.
