scored a knockout in the nineteenth
round of his battle with lem Kenrick,
English claimant of tho title. late this
afternoon. This is Coulon's second
victory over Kenrick in three weeks.
In the first match he was given the
decision at the end of the tenth
round.
A crowd of about 10, 900 people SUR
rounded the West End Athletic club
arena at McDonoughville. just across
the river from New orleans, n
shouted themselves hoarse when the
American put the tired Britisher down
and practically out with a right jolt
over the heart.
kenrick staggered to his feet, tot
tering Just before the referee counted
him out. 1T was apparent, however,
that he had been finished ana the
fight was awarded 10 Coulon.
For the first five rounds the bout
was fast and spirited with honors
even. After the fifth round Coulon
began to wear his opponent out, and
in the sixteenth. seventeenth ana cigh-
teenth rounds floored him repeated
ly. Coulon finished the fight un-
marked and to all appearances as
fresh as when he started.

cited such would ave been the case,
according TO the old timers.

weeks, since the announcement that
the time Of the Limited was to be cut
three hours and a half. have been
much Interested in the speed ques-
ton and records OF q decade back

old timers. Santa Fe men laugh at
the published statement In q Los
Angeles paper that the southern
Pacific claimed the former road
