GUNBOAT SMITH NOW

Moves Out Of Huge Army by
Flooring Pelkey in Fiji
tenth Round.
HIS RIGHT DOES TRICK
Tommy Burns First in the
Field With a Challenge
for the Gunner.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-Gunboat Smith
strengthened his claim to the title Of
Americas best heavyweight. With a
powerful right cross to the jaw--one out
OF fifty he attempted to land--he knocked
Arthur Pelkey down in the fifteenth round
of their championship mill at DAILY city
this afternoon and when the dazed man
unsteadily arose a rushing left to the
back OF the head toppled him over again
This time Pelkey was stretched full length
on the canvas. He rolled over as his fate
was being tolled and finally rested with
one knee on the canvas when referee
Griffin counted him out. The referee
would have awarded the fight TO Smith.
for Pelkey was in no condition to proceed
He was dazed as he was helped to his
corner.
1t was the final of fight In which from
the ninth round there was little or no
question as to the winner. Pelkey's
vaunted ability was wholly lacking, and
even the form OF his gymnasium work
outs was not displayed. Slow and without
a guard he was beaten down with body
punches from the eighth round to the
finish. until he was SO tired and slow
that Smith found his mark FOR tho dFeaiei
right and delivered the goods.
In "A day Smith has climbed out of
the white hope brigade" into champion

cisco fans never saw Gunboat Smith miss
as many times as he missed to-day. Time
and time again. when he did land. the
blow would find Pelkey IN bad shape,
