Tommy Houck And
 Willie Jones Draw

Tommy Houck of Philadelphia, and Willie Jones of Brooklyn, fought a fast ten-round draw at the Olympic A. C., New York, last night. Jones proved the better in the first, fourth, fifth and sixth rounds; Houck had the better of the second, third. eighth and ninth, and the seventh and tenth ses- Sions were even.
 Jones confined his attack to the body, while Houck depended mainly upon short right and left hooks to the head and face.
 In the first round Houck started at a fast clip with series of smashes to the face, one of his blows cutting a gash in his adversary's lips, but Jones more than eVened matters with a ter rifle punch to the body. In the second Jones became the aggressor and had things all his own way until Houcls staggered him with a right hook to the jaw that nearly floored the Brooklyn lad
 The next round was easily Houck's, but in the next three Jones' body blows told and gave him the advantage.
 Both fought hard in the seventh, but neither could gain a lead in this round. Houck came to the front in the eighth and ninth, but in the final session Jones battled fiercely and held Houck even
