BILLY SMITH KNOCKED OUT.
He Loses His Title as the Weller
Weight Champion.

NEW YORK. April 11.-"Mysterious
Billy" Smith. noted as the weller weight
champion of the world, was knocked out
for the first time in his ring career at the
Broadway Athletic Club tonight and incl
dentally lost his title. which he had won
by hard incessant fighting
Smith was put to sleep in the nine
eeenth round by Matty Matthews, of
BROOKLYN, who has been slowly but surely
fighting his way to the top of the heap
during the past three years. The winning
blow was deliberate right hand swing
flush on the jaw, delivered at a time when
Smith was distressed from a similar punch
that had been sent home a moment he
fore.
Up to that point it looked as if the
battle would go the limit of twenty-five
rounds. Smith had administered severe
punishment to Matthews, so much so that
1t is all the more remarkable how the
Brooklyn pugilist managed to retain
enough strength to score such clean
Knockout. But Matthews was undoubted-
ly in better condition, and therefore more
suitably fitted to stand the grueling. He
fought with careful judgment. always
watching for openings, and using his right
hand with such constant power that
Smiths left ear. eye, and nose were Sc
verely damaged.
In the summer of 1898 Smith met Mat
thews at the Lenox Athletic Club and
easily defeated him in twenty-five round
bout. In that encounter Matthews was SO
clearly outclassed that he asked Smith on
several occasions to let up. But since
that time Matthews has improved greatly,
while Smith, like many other pugilists, has
gone back. Tonight he was big favorite
in the betting and many believed that had
the bout gone the limit he might have
won on points. but Matthews decisive
victory sets aside all arguments and de-
prives Smith of the title he held.
