Rev. Sam small Is disappointed.

Savannah, Ga, Dec. 20.-Rev Sam
Small, the evangelist, is now chaplain
of the Third engineers, United States
army. In an interview here he said:

silver cross on the shoulder, pay him
$500 month and turn him loose on
1900 men without any of the imple-
ments of the spiritual welfare to fight
with. I've been disappointed"

work WAS the comment of all. He would
bring IL from the ribs TO the head and
back again % quickly - TO almost escape
the eye.

frequently cautioned when his overanxious
man would become careless. kid" Nc
Coy o0iciased In the same capacity for
White. Bat Mastsrson was referee. The
attendance numbered .. so. DIXON weighed
in this afternoon At i2s,A pounds and White
at 10 pounds. The betting was 10 to
on Dixon, and quite an amount OF money
changed hands at these odds.
In the first round Dixon forced matters
Tommy blocked eleverly and landed sew
erai lefts on head and chest There WA
no damage
The second round was very fast. George
using his left TO good advantage. Tommy
did his share Of this work. bringing his
left to Georges head and his right hand
to his left eye. As the round closed blood
trfckled from cut over Georges lett eye
In the third round White was the ag-
gressor at nrst. but ran into a sfin lett
punch from George. quickly followed BY
rights and let's that put him on the de-
fensive. George became careless, and eau
toned by O'Rourke he settled down and
was showering vicious lefts 70 Tommys
body as the round closed.
In the next round George displayed over
anxiousness and judged distance badly.
Tommy was cool and careful. Just at the
end George brought his right with force
to Tommy's kidneys and left TO neck. stag
gering White. Honors were about even.
In the fifth Tommy displayed clever
ducking and side-stepping and thereby
avoided the fierce PUSHES OF Dixon. The
latter was trying for a knockout
In the following round Dixon settled
down to business His hard lefts on Tom
my.s face and body visiply weakened the
latter. who recovered only monentArily
until the end of the fight.
From this on 10 the eighteenth round II
was pretty much the same. George was
strong and on the aggressive all the time.
Tommy seemed dazed and led but little
He hung To George a good deal OF the
time But Dixon could not place enough
force In his blows although he rained
them on Tommy's body and head to put
him out.
In the last minute OF the twentieth round
George brought q hard left TO Tommy's
neck which caused him to waver. 1t
ened out and put Dixon of until the gong
sounded. when Referee Masterson an
nounced that Dixon was the winner.
