wa apparent that Dixon was Oue-
classsd. Jordah's defense WAS almost
~impresns0le. He used the straight left
1ab thai other fighters had tried on
Dixon. He also seemed 20 a solved
the coicfsd boys method Of attack.
Whenever George drew back the left
for one Of his famous swings Jordan
almost Invariably caught him In the
ribs with his right. In the sixth round
Jordan's elbow struck Dixon below the
belt. causing the colorsd boy a great
deal Of pain. Jordan Immediately,
pardon. an act Of courtesy that made
a big hit with the crpwd.
From the sixth TO the fourteenth
round the Englishman led by q wide
margin. He dealt out ssvers punish-
mont to Dixon. who took It and fought
back m%anfully. In the ninth round the
cOlored boy didn't land 4 blow, but he
woke UP In che fifteenth and fought
more Ike his old self. rushing Jordan
around the ring in . manner that
brought the crowd to its feet. But II
waS only a nash in the pan. After that
he continued to BE- o~utelasssd. but he
was still strong and age at the finish
Of the twenty-hfth round. There wa
universal approval when the. referee
awarded the decision to jordan.

Edward Santry vas born In Chicago
In 1871. He was featherwe!ght cham
3Ion OF the world at l22 pounds by
at the Lenox A. c. Santry was ave
feet six inches tall and weighed lis to
l2 pounds, He was a very clever boxer
and a game fighter and put up some
kerry good nights against most OF the
leading American weis hts. an
try fought much better as a feather
weight than he did when he became
heavy and joined the lightweight forces.
The night with Jordan on Oct. 10. 1899.
vas one Of the fights In which . nghter
who wa losing had turned the tide OF
battle with one punch. That punch
came from Santry In the sixteenth round
in the midst Of a furious rally. in which
Jordan was getting the best OF 1t. as
he had been doing all through the fight.
out of the melee OF flying fists came
Santry's right and landed flush on Jor-
dams jaw. The Englishman went down
like a log and remained unconscious for
Ave or six seconds after the count OF
ten was finished.
With all due credit 10 Santry, II is
probable that this punch would not have
knocked Jordan out had the latter not
been In poor condition. Jordan trained
down a. Coney Island. The weather
was cold and raw and he contracted a
fever Also. being much over weight.
he practically starved himself to get
underneath tho limit. The constant
worry abou. his family affairs also
told on him, rs a matter OF fact. Jor-
dan entered the ring with a temper
ature OF 100 degrees. He was by no
means thai same man who defeated
Dixon. Al that, Joroan had all the
best o. II up 10 the time he stopped
Santry's right hand with his jaw.
ssutry also mad a great deal of trouble
In making the weight. lie trained from
Chicago. and while coming east on the
train with his manager, Parson Davies,
put on Ave or six pounds. When the
time came 10 weigh IN Eddie was sew
eral pounds over weight and had to
70 out and take a run around Central
Park to work II OF.
Immediately after this victory Santry
rew .touter and went out Of tho feather
weight class, the title reverting to
Dixon. Santry IL now living In Chicago.
