The Latter Knocked Out In the Third
ROnDd

ROuDd
Louisville, September 25.-Joe Choyn-
ski, of California, knocked out Jim
Hall, of Australia, in the third round
tonight, in the presence of $500 peo-
pie. 1t was announced that the fight
for the light heavyweight champion
ship, limited to twenty rounds, was for
a division of the box office receipts.
Hall weighed 16S pounds and Choynski
160.
The fight was lively enough while it
lasted, with the honors possibly in
Halls favor during the first two rounds
but in the third Choynski used his right
and left effectively a number of times,
and when but a half minute of the
third round remained, he landed =
eral rights and lefts in succession,
sending Hall to the floor, where he re-
manned until carried to his corner, af-
ter the referee had counted the ten
seconds Instantly there were cries of
"Fake!" from all quarters Of the hall
and a more disappointed crowd never
left a ringside in this city.
1t vas a right nook on the jaw that
sent Hall down, and from the specta-
tors standpoint, was not delivered with
sufficient force tSsLave put the Aus
tralian out.
Choynski, so Hall claims, landed a
left below the belt and near the groin,
which Hall explained after the fight,
took all the steam out Of him.
