Jimmy WEIGH
Whips Driscoll'

Cardiff. Wales, Dec. 20.-Fredd1e
WEIGH, the lightweight champion OF
England won his fight with Jem Dris-
coll, the featherweight champion, III
the 10th round tonight, on foul.
The fight was a 20-round match Tor
purse of S12,500, the largest ever put
up in Great Britain for little men. a
crowd OF several thousand witnessed
the go, and Notwithstanding the tact
that the betting favored WEIGH, the
spectators were greatly disappointed
when the contest came to an unexpect-
ed end due to Driscoll butting his OPP
moment under the chin with his head.
WEIGH besides being five years
younger than Driscoll, had the advant-
age of weight and reach. His blows
were heavier than those of the feath-
erweight and he showed that he was
able &c take more punishment.
In the first round, Driscoll had the
advantage in points, but in the sec
ono sWelch landed several hard blows
and in that and the next round MS eX-
ira weight, 10 pounds. began to tell. III
the fourth he sent Driscoll to his
knees, and the betting went from to
to to l in his favor.
The lightweight champion inflicted
several damaging kidney punches IN
the seventh. but i'll the next round
Driscol got home u couple of hare
straight leads that drew great ap-
plause. He followed this up With d
game exhibition throughout the ninth.
honor3 being even in that round on
points 1t was seen in the 10th. how
ever, that Driscoll was fast firing. His
arms were hanging listless part of the
time, his blows lacked steam and he
chung to his opponent at every oppor-
tunity. In one OF the clinches. he per-
sistently butted his opponent and the
referee finally disqualified him.
The mems seconds jumped into the
ring and promptly came to clinches,
some blows We're struck and it was
with great difficulty the police dragged
the warning partisans apart.
The winner OF the fight took 60 per
cent. CT the purse and the loser 40.
