the nineteenth round of their fight in the
arena Of the National Athletic Cluo,
WOodward's Pavilion, last night. The
end came Unexpectedly, Green himself
for just an instant being as surprised as
the SPECTATORS The beginning of the end
was scented by those in attendance in the
eighteenth round. Green swung his left
and landing knocked GOIf TO his knees.
He stayed down the limit and upon ris-
ing vas again knocked down. The bell
saved him. as Green was fun Of fight.
When the gong changed for the nine
teenth round Goff's brain had not cleared
sufficiently and Green soon broke down
his guard. He rained a perfect torrent OF
blows upon GOff but none touched a Vul-
nerable spot. Golf cIinched to avoid pun
ishment and the men struggled all over
the ring. The spectators were in a perfect
frenzy of excitement, all being on their
feet and yelling encouragement TO the
tired boxers. In one Of the rusheS across
the ring Green stumbled at the rope and
pitched headIong out Of the ring TO the
floor GOff at the same time fell TO his
knees from exhaustion.
Willing hands fairly tossed Green into
the ring and the men Went at 1t again,
exchanging blow for blow. At this time
each seemed 10 have chance to win
Both were tired and ClinCked again Green
being wrestled TO the ropes. When they
broke GOm backed away, Green following.
Green swung his left, and although Golf
seemed just out of range the glove
reached the delicate nerve center at the
front of the chin. COTS hands dropped
TO his side, his nerves seemed paralyZed
ana refused TO support his sWaying body.
Green was quick TO see his advantage
and stepping in, placed crushing right
on the Jaw.
Cor dropped like a log and lay uncon-
SCl0us on the canvas floor of the ring.
The counting OF ten seconds was q mere
fOTmaHty, as the defeated man did not
move q muscle. When Golf fell Green
took one look at him and then walked
Itr he he l-4.Fr d Ts44IT
victor. When Golf had been counted OUT,
Green went 10 his assistance and helped
TO lift him from the floor. The van
pushed man did not revive readily, and
it was some time before he could leave
the ring.
There were several periods of the fight
when Green looked a certain loser. Cot
GaZed him, bur did not follow up his ad-
vantage, thus giving Green d much
needed opportunity TO collect his scattered
thoughts. Green was aggressive through
out, playing almost entirely for the body
working tl1 has left hand hard qInceasRgiy on
lacked direction, his vicious right ana left
swings going wide of their mark.
Green had a lead at first, but this was
overcome by Golf, who in turn had the
advantage. The men hit in the clinches
and the spectators took sides as to which
man was doing the alleged fOuling. Ac-
ccIQing 10 the rules the men could hit
with one arm free. This they did through

The first attraction was q burlesQue. II
was billed as tWenty-rOund bout be-
tween Jim Jeffords Of Sonora, who wanted
10 stay four rounds with Champion jim
Jeftries recently, and Bob Jones, a colored
'phenOm from Los Angeles.
Both men We're willing enough and in
good condition, but neither apparently had
good punch in him, and Jones put him
self out in the fifth by a fall over the
ropes.
In what fighting was done Jeffords led
from the start save in the fourth round,
when the cOlOTed man did most of the
mixing.
Jeffords opened the first with a pair of
wild swings at head and ribs: he missed
both but the colored man retired to a post
and with his head under his arm permit
ted the Sonora man to hammer him wild
~ until the bell signaled the end Of the
Jones undoubled for a moment in the
second with swing for the jaw and JET
fords replied with a misdrected upper
cut and then put his right and left on the
Los Angeleno's ribs and jaw. Jones nld
behind the post again. while Jeffords re-
sUmed his tattoo on the ribs.
Not more than one blow in half a dozen
found anything more substantial than the
smoky atmosphere. Jeffords time and
again had his man at his mercy, but could
not land on him. The drubbing he did
get the darby took good humoredly but
made little effort to get back until the
fourth round, when he unlimbered his
right for two jabs on the heart and Il
vicious swing on the point of the jaw. He
found the heart again and Jeffords inter
rupted matters with an awkward clinch,
which Jones broke with the right and left
twice on the head. Jeffords closed the
round with d fierce straight on the chin
The fifth round put the crowd in too
good humOr to jeer. JeffOrds opened ii
with a series of wild swings that resulted
the crowd: he followed it with others ike
It, and Jones made a run for his post
JeffOTds rooted him out with q bunch of
nesting swats on the ribs and the terrified
Jones fed for the opposite corner. The
