KLAUS WINS RIGHT TO
FIGHT FOR THE TITLE
Proves Himself Far Superior to Cyclone JENNY
Thompson After Ten Hard Rounds of Mill
ing at National Sporting Club.
LOSER TIRED man AT END OF BATTLE In
WHICH HIS GAMENESS ALONE SAVES HIM

Either mar always started the
rounds with a display of ginger, and
Thompson took his turn in the sixth,
but after getting a couple of wallop
to the face and head Johnny concluded
fighting at arms length wasn't to his
taste, so he got into his usual crouch,
and the men were banging cach other
to the body. Klaus. however, varied
the game by landing a terrific right
uppercut and a later q hard
rap on the kidneys. Thompson was
right back. and Klaus hit him a SINH
lar blow and switched the left to the
right kidney. Klaus was going ahead
now and vas varying his attack, for
he shot up two u%ppercuts that would
have meant trouble for anybody else.
They only slowed IN the Westerner,
who brought Klaus mt an exchange.
They were al long range now II the
~Pittsburger was in his glory. After
iabbing lightly out his left twice he
let go a right that Jared Thompson.
Johnny's reply was to rush in for more.
and the bell found them head TO head.
This round was Klaus's.
Klaus had gained confidence by the
lead he was taking and started the
seventh round with more speed than he

Thompson a wallop in the jaw that
hurt. Klaus, while in close. shot up a
hard right to the heart. but when he
tried to switch over a left with a half
turn of his body he missed completely
because Thompson ducked. and Frank
made a complete turn. Thompson fol-

furnishing. Klaus found the lead he
had gained was not permanent and,
half angered, let fly a wicked left hand
blow, delivered with that half turn of
his body. Thompson. who had been
doing good work, ducked out of the
way of it n Klaus fell down on the
floor with a thud. Thompson had his

Klaus forged ahead from the start
of the eighth, round and was never
headed. He started the eighth with q
right TO the jaw, and 1t looked for q
short space that the blow had . so
slowed up Thompson that Klaus would
be able to keep his man at long range
long enough for him to measure a blow
to finish him; but Thompson forced him
to infghting. Coming out Of a close
rally, Klaus missed a left, but landed
two rights shortly after that surely
hurt. Frank was in there to finish his
man, who never stopped boring in, nc
matter how hard or swift the punches
came. Many a time when Johnny saw
a punch coming he would half turn
and lower his head, Klaus's blow land
ing on the top of his bean" The
blows he did not miss, however, had
Johnny bleeding about the nose and
mouth. As if to. end the round properly
for him, Klaus belted Thompson two
terrible rights to the jaw.
To the surprise of everybody, Thomp-
son anne back ready to fight in the
ninth, but Klaus so showed his
superiority in a few moments by show
ering his man with rights and left
hooks and .iabs. Johnny got away
from a lot of them. but those that
~landed-and they were in the majority
hurt very much.
Thompson landed a few to Klaus's
kidneys that hurt, but Klaus came
back with such heavy blows that
Thompson. began TO tire, and the crowd,
seeing hiSdistress, began to yell for "a
TX. o." Thompson surely was all in
from the beating he took, and some
thought the next round would see his
finish.
Klaus found the finishing job in the
tenth too much. Johnny rushed right
into close quarters as If nothing had
happened. While in Klaus missed
some hard ones and then worked his
man to long range, which he crossed
over some tough rights and lefts.
Frank was trying for a knockout,
but Thompson was trying just as hard
to avoid one. Despite the blows Klaus
landed from this out on ~Thompson's
jaw, head and body, Johnny managed
to last out the round, a thoroughly
beaten man.
