WILSON, the black demon Of

T[ID WILSON, the black demon OF
East Orange, last night. at the
Long Acre A. c., again defeated
Billy Leary, but he was compelled to
so the full distance, ten rounds. VIII
son who had expected to do away with
his a met with a great surprise
for Leary fought as he had never
fought before. The confidence OF both
men was such that the hackers OF potn
ARE wont to give even the defeated man
a great deal of praise for the good
bout that was furnished.
AS is usual in the star bout of an
evening, both men were a long time in
getting into the ring. Wilson was the
first to appear, and the sprinkling OF
i dusky rooters that were on hand did
All they could in the line of cheering.
Leary followed a few seconds later,
and the din that ensued almost brought
down the house. Without a doubt the
white man was the favorite. Wilson
was assigned his corner by Referee
Mike Newman, who admired the WE'LL
built dusky fighter, and rave a gasp
of surprise as the man crouched down
into his chair. Leary entered smiling,
but the smile was not one of conf
dence. 1t was forced. He sized up his
opponent, n then seemed to get ner-
vous. lie started to stoop and Timber
up before his gloves were adjusted, and
tried to wear off. the look of anxiety
which seemed to be spreading.
The men agreed to break clean. The
start was a hummer, and Leary had all
the best of 1t. The moment the gong
sounded Leary went at his man., and
the wild yells of "Oh, 0 Bill" gave
him added confidence. He stalled with
his left, and landed a right on the
hcad of Wilson. Leary was furious
and wanted to finish his man in a
round. He rushed at Wilson, who fell
into a clinch, ducking his head. and
Leary lifted him clean off his feet
close to the ropes. Leary then began
a bombardment of rights and lefts,
and after missing several n two.
Leary then began to jab and beat VIII
son to it all the way A right to the
stomach of Wilson seemed to hurt a
bit and he pulled away. The gong rang
just as the men began to swap punches.
1t was Leary's round.
The second saw a great change.
Wilson aimed a beautiful left, but
missed by a city block. Leary came
back with a left to the stomach. but
was beat off by a terrific left to the
jaw. Wilson again swung on Leary's
jaw, when Leary fell into a clinch and
was satisfied to take things a bit easier.
Both exchanged blows, when, in an
ether attempt to land, Wilson again
missed the protruding jaw of Leary. 1t
I vas Wilson's round. The third was
about even. The clever blocking OF
Wilson and the aggressive methods of
Leary was dandy. Both men put up
the real goods and there was little to
Choose. Wilson throughout this round
could not easur his distance, while
Leary was jabbing with both right and
left.
The fourth was slightly in the favor
of Leary. He jabbed with his right
and kept Wilson, who was trying to get
away from him. In this round Leary
landed a terrific left on Wilson's jaw.
The fifth was in favor of Wilson, Will
son started in to finish and get home.
With a right to the jaw and a left to
the stomach, he had Leary in a bad
way. Near his own corner Leary
stumbled, assisted by a left to the jaw.
He got up quickly and held to the finish
of the found. The sixth, seventh and
eight were all in favor of Leary, giving
a good lead for the honors.
The ninth was the unuoing Oh LedTy.
Wilson, urged by a few supporters, now
tore into his opponent and hit him at
will. His lefts and rights to the jaw
had Leary groggy, and when Lear
clinched Wilson would pound his kid
neys. Leary was a to stand the
punishment he was now receiving and
fell when a solid left struck him on the
jaw. Referee Newman counted nine
kwhen the gong sounded. Leary jumped
up, but one of his seconds rushed over
Ald carried him to his corner. The
TIL was of the same fashion. Wilson
Leary all the while, but could not
a haymaker. Leary held Wilson
lightly that the dark man was I'M
to reach him. The Leary rooters
urging their man to hold on to
him from another knockout.
