POWERS DECISION
PLEASES ALBANIANS

Rome March 14.-The numerous de-
scendants of Albanians living in south
ern Italy where they inhabit whole
villages, are rejoicing over the decision
after the European powers that Scu-
tari shall remain a part of Albania
and they have sent messages of con-
graduation to the Italian government
for the support which it has given to
this settlement of the question
The opinion in government circles
here is that Scutari, if possessed by
the Montenegrins, would weaken that
small kingdom by giving it a popu-
lation composed of more Albanians
than Montengrins. Italiant officials be-
1ieve that Scutari once detached from
Albania, would not preserve its pres
ent commercial Importance and its ia
nous bazar, they say, in all proba-
hility would migrate to Elbassan, Ga
miles to the southeast. or to some other
important Albanian center.

GUNbOAT SMITH
KNOCKSOUT WELLS
IN SECOND ROUND
English Champion Takes
Count Early in Fight.
The Result Causes
Surprise

New York. March 14.-Gunboat
Smith the California heavyweight,
knocked out Bombadier Wells heavy
weight champion of England. in the
second round of a scheduled l0-round
bout at Madison Square Garden to-
night
A right on the point of the jaw was
the blow that finally put the British
champion out after he had weakened
under punishment
Wells had all the better of the first
round, jabbing his left repea tedly to
Smiths face and cleverly blocking Gun
boats attempt TO counter. A hard left
hook followed with left and right
to the wind puzzled Smith. He made
wild attempts to land, missing several
swings while Wells got in lefts and
rights to the face and a right upper
cut on the neck. Smith was wild
throughout the round, only succeeding
in landing a couple of lefts on the
face.
Wells came out of his corner for the
second round, smiling and confident,
Smith rushed at him, landing hard
right in the stomach. Smith rushed
again, hooking his left to the head and
landing a right overland swing to
the jaw.
Wells went down for count of five
and got up dazed Smith was right on
top of him, hooking left and right and
with a left hook to the jaw and a
right swing to the back of the head
sent Wells down again for count Of
nine.
Wells struggled to his feet but was
hardly able to raise his hands in de-
fense. while Smith crossed his right
full to the point of the jaw, sending
Wells down and out.
While Wells was on the floor for
a count of six the bell rang, ending
the round, but he still lay helpless
He had to be carried to his corner and
it was nearly 10 minutes before he was
able to leave the ring and then he
had to be assisted.
The result was a complete surprise
as after the first round the majority
of the onlookers thought that Wells
would win easily. He outpointed and
outboxed Smith so decidedly in the
opening session that no one thought
chance for victory.
Smiths rushing tactics and swift
work with both hands in the second
round nonplussed the British boxer and
from the time of the first knockdown
Wells was unable to put up any de-
fense.
Wells weighed 1872 and Smith 1872 ~
pounds.
