Of the season Smith not only outslugged
Goodman. but exceeded the expectations OF
his admirers by actually outboXing his op-
ponent. who is known and acknowledged
to be one of the cleverest and fastest men
in the ring to-day.
The first round OF the encounter brought
to light the fact that Goodman was not to
have any picnic. Goodman rushed at Smith
and poked out his left. Few men have been
able TO avoid Jacks left fab. but Smith let
1t slide over his shoulder and drove both
hands TO Goodman's body. The latter re-
treated in surprise. Smith followed and
shot his left to the head. Goodman evened
the score by landing few good blows, and
the remainder Of the round was devoted to
fancy boxing, IN which the Quaker City
lad easily held his own. Smith continued
TO outlook Goodman and set the crowd in
an Uproar by swapping the latter's head
back with left to the head that carried
a lot OF steam behind IL

skill he managed 10 earn the honors for
the round. His left jab worked with the
old snap. and Sammy had the time OF his
life in keeping out of the way. Goodman

The boxing Of Smith was a most decided
surprise IN his previous battles he showed
some skill OF fence. but none who saw him

Quaker City youth boxed rings around his
opponent. and time and again he outgen-
eralled Jack and caught him in the traps
for which the latter is noted.

One Of the largest crowds that ever wit
messed a contest in this city packed the
club rooms 10 the doors. As early as
O'Clock the members began TO assemble, and
BY the time that Smith shouldered his way
I'D the aisle every seat in the house was
occupied and standing room was at
premium Sentiment was pretty much di-
vided but the West Sider's friends were
more numerous and noisier-
The seIni-finaI bout of the evening brought
together Fighting Bill Ketchel, a huge
young heavyweight, and Young" Schwartz
Ketchel was a fighter by name only He
failed 10 display even a little class. He
was fully forty pounds heavier than
Schwartz. but was so slow and clumsy in
his movements that the latter had little
trouble in outpointing him. Throughout the
entire bout Ketche failed TO land a dozen
clean blows and did little but clinch and
hang on.
