Baltimore, June 11.-Toung Peter
Jackson knocked out Joe Walcott in
four rounds before the Eureka Attn
letfc club last night. Twice before
getting his quietus Walcott wanted to
quit. which caused Jackson to say:
whats the matter, Joe2 Do the
punches in the stomach hurt?" Wal
colt claimed that Jackson slugged in
the clinches, and near the end of the
second round Walcott went to his cor
ner after break and said:
81 won't fight that way"
Referee O'Hara started to count on
WaIcott, but on three the gong ended
the round
Walcott began the very first round
to rush things, and he repeatedly
landed his right almost full swing on
the top and back Of Jackson's head.
The blows seemed to have no effect
on Jackson, and the latter bored in to
work his short arm jolts to the body.
AT the end of the first round it looked
as if Walcott had the better of it, but
Jackson came back for the second un-
harmed and began his boring in tao
tics.
The crowd yelled for him to stand
up Jackson fought his own battde
and bored in on Walcott SO that the
latter cried, Break the man away"
This, despite the men had agreed TO
box straight Queensberry and protect
themselves in, the breakaway. Jack
son continued his crouch, and Walcott
smashed him a right on the back
Then Walcott tried right and left, but
only struck Jackson's mitts. Jackson
bored in and put two stiff punches to
the stomach before they broke. Then
Walcott put terrific right swing on
Jackson's shoulder and Jackson bored
in again, landing another punch to the
body, which brought about Walcott's
already noted desire not to box that
way any more, and demanded clean
breaks. The third round was a repe-
tition of Jackson and his crouch, but
when they came together Referee
O'Hara went between them rs soon as
they clinched. Wa1cott at this stage
began to act as if he realized what he
was up against, and he rushed Jack
son, landing several rights and lefts on
the body, which forced jackson to the
ropes.
Two right punches from Walcott al
most took Jackson or his feet, but
Jackso9 still bored in and fought
Walcott to the ropes, where Walcott
again claimed he was hit in clinches.
After the gong, as he sat in his Ger
ner, Walcott said three or four times,
I'm through but he was on his feet
when the gong sounded in the fourth.
For a second Jackson abandoned his
crouch and as Walcott backed away
| Jackson landed clean left on Wal
colts head. These he followed with
right and left to head and then as
| quickly Jackson again doubled into the
crouch and bored in hard right to
| the stomach, which caused Walcott to
yell, "See that?" Walcott came back
and put hard left to Jackson's body,
and followed it with terrific right
straight down on the back of Jackson Is
head. jackson bored in and both his
arms We're punching like piston rods.
| Walcott was trying to back away
when Jackson's right landed in the pit
of his stomach. Walcott fell through
the ropes on his back. He was not I'M
to count Walcott said, ''Wait, he hit
conscious, and as the referee started
to count Walcott said: wait, he Iii

Walcott was trying to catch his
breath, but was powerIess to rise al

Within two minutes he was jumping
around the ring claiming he was
