ing much better than at any other time
since his return from the East and says
he feels strong and active. II was sorry
te hear that EEne whipped Hawkins" he
has always showed good ring generaiship.
He Is one of those fellows who can stand
great dea. of punishment and at the
same time be constantly on the outlook
for chance to get In a telling blow.
1T has always been my opinion that he
mad the better Of IAasigne when they met
in the East; Along the last Erne was
putting IL all over him and Layigne was
guessing whether or not he would be able
to come up for the next round At the
end of the last round both were on their
feet 50 1t was decided a draw. 1t Is GER
tainly not disgrace for Hawkins TO lose
to such q man. l feel confident that If
Layigne and Erne meet the latter viii
wrest the championship in the lightweight
class from him.
II intend TO go TO San Francisco In q
few days. ! can get a match there. am

Hawkins Erne fight, which took place in
San Francisco last Friday evening" lie
was as certain az man can be that Haw-
kins would win. barring some accident.
So far as can be judged from the story
or the fight sent out from San Francisco
Erne Won by 4 clean Knockout in the
seventh round. The termination OF the
night Was unexpected and surprised no,
only the crowd but those who were in
Hawkins corner. Hawkins certainly had
me better OF the contest for six rounds,
me point in Erne's work worthy OF praise
being MS magnificent defense.
Erne showed great reeGperative powers.
He was knocked fiat in the first round and
took nine seconds 10 get on his feet. In
the second he kept away as much as pos
sibe until toward the last, when he and

In the next round Erne bothered Haw-
kins by clever ducking and s.de-stepping
All this time Hawkins had been doing the

the effects Of the first round, and at the
same time study out Hawkins method of
attack.
The fourth round was an exhibition of
leads on Hawkins part. but Erne man

marked by three hard blows from Haw-
kins that landed. Erne was entirely on
the defensive in the fifth and between
the lines 1t seems az If Hawains got a

may be he thought he had the fight all
his own way and that II was only a ques-
ton OF time when he would reach a vital
point, ! am inclined 10 think that he nn-
