But SUCCUMBS IN NINETEENTH ROUND
Game Little Fighters Never
stop an Instant Through
out Contest.


Chicago boxer and save TO him an in
credible amount Of punishment. There
was never an instant when the two
boxers were not az it hammer and
tongs. Nelson was the receiver general
throughout, but never for an instant
old ne back away from the shifty Cali
rornian. Il seemed that flesh and blood
could not withstand the strain, but
round after round the two boxers
rushed At each other as If there were
no such thing as tired muscles.
II must have been discouraging to
Hanlon TO deal the amount of punish
ment he did TO his opponent and then
ind him round after round coming up
as If nothing had happened. When the
fight reached the eighteenth round
there was movement among the spec
tators which indicated that they were
sure il would go the fun twenty rounds.
Suddenly Hanlon went down, Nelson
thus scoring the first knockdown of the
fight.
The Chicago man was the aggressor
IN the early part Of the round and as
they broke out Of the clinch he shot
out his right as he had done many
81 times before, but this time il con-
nected with Hanlon's jaw. Between
the force Of the blow and the jar Han
Ion received from the impact with the
floor he seemed dazed- He fell near
his own corner and looked helplessly
toward his seconds. He was up before
the ten seconds grace allowed by the
Gueensberry> rules, and then Nelson
seeming victory in the air, went at him
viciously. Hanlon covered up his jaw
and was able 10 weather the storm un-
III the gong sounded. When the nine
teenth round opened Nelson rushed
across the ring and rained blows on
HsnlOn, whose head had not had time
10 clear up during the interval Of rest.

ing 10 the referee to stop the unequal
contest Captain of Police Anderson
was on his feet and was about to or

tossed a towel into the ring, signaling
defeat The stopping of the fight at
this point viii undoubtedly provide
uaterial for wide discussion. HanlOn
u1Questionably had She better OF IL for
sixteen rounds and had he been able
10 remain on his feet during the last
TWO rounds the referee would, in ac-
cordance with his announced inten-
ZION, have had 10 give the decision to
The Californian.
Hanlon showed improved form over
his last appearance IN this city. he
81 Egered Nelson repeatedly, but was
never able 20 knock the Chicago man

bright red from the frequent vista
rioDs Of HanlOn's right. This was the
only mark on him. MS face giving no

the start he seemed 10 care but little
-o- Nelson's blows, taking many Of

Nelson tried often for a right to Han
Ions body and sent home a number OF
these blows.

Billy Roche made his debut as a ref
cree here. He proved a marked sue
cess he was close up TO the boxers
throughout, and while either had q
hand free he did not try to break them,
but let them fight He appeared in i'm
rnacleate tuxedo, but shed his upper
garments as the fight progressed.
Billy Jordan introduced him as the
gallant Bowery boy" Nelson was
presented as the Chicago cracker
Jack while Hanlon was cheered when
he was announced as the pride of Cal

short speeches.
Hanlon seemed TO have Nelson in dis
tress in the second round, after he had
IN the third round he staggered Nelson

him going away with a left. In the
fourth round il was all in Hanlons IA
Vor. Toward the end OF the fifth Nell

fast Wndup IN the sixth both men
standing up and slugging. The seventh

scoring often with right and left to the
head HanlOn came back fighting and
the two boxers seemed to have staked
their all on q punch Neither attempt

slugeed- Hanlon staggered Nelson with

Both came up strongly in the eighth
and neither gave way an inch. Han

Nelson several times and the bell
sounded just in time TO save him. The

fifteenth Nelson's. IT was desperate
slugging throughout the sixteenth
round. Nelson forced the fighting in
the seventeenth ana both seemed
tired. The eighteenth marked the be-
ginning of the triumph Of Nelson.
Warren Zubrick easily outDointed
Kid Williams in a ten-round bout
Williams lacked both gameness and
condition and was badly cut about the
face. IN the third round there was
