Kid williams Is not the same miniature
terror of two years ago. yet he still retains
sufficient class to be recognized as real
champion and wonderful little battler.
Joe ODonnell reeled the title-holder with
a right-hand punch on the chin in the sec
ond round OF their match at the Olympia
last night thereafter the mixing was only
a one-sided affair. 1t was a pity to see
oDonnell. than whom no gamer boy ever
stepped In the ring, assimilate such ter
rife trimming
williams won as he pleased-by dozen
blocks. miles or any distance one cares to
take into consideration. He peppered plas-
tered and lambasted the Gloucester glove
man numerically. Williams punched JOG
all over his anatomy and all over the twen-
ty.four-foot squared canvas. but no vui-
nerable spot could be reached. The champ
endeavored his utmost to score a knockout.
There was little doubt about that.
Pandemonium broke loose. as II were, In
the second period. when Joe led with LETT
and crossed a straight right on Williams's s
Jaw. The KIDS knees sagged. Six thou
sand spectators and Johnny Ertle stood up
as one person, yelling. KNOCK him out.
| Toe =" williams came to close quarters and
| beat a terrific tattoo on o'Donnelrs mid
section. The bell found both fighting hard
| with Gloucester's pride growing weak.
Beginning with the third round, VIII
| liams's steady body blows SO sapped o'Don-
| nelIs stamina that he was staggering con-
| tinually around the ring. The Baltimorean
| scored lefts and rights 10 the head and body
with lightning force and rapidity. IL was
| only Joe's superhuman ability TO absorb
punishment that kept him on his feet.
| O'Donnell was a sadlooking spectacle. IL
was unmerciful TO see him trounced SO
| severely.
| showed that he was on the alert during the
| intermission between the fourth and hfth
| rounds when he refused TO allow O'Don-
| nelrs handlers to take time out so that q
| new glove could be placed on Joe's right
| hand The badly mussed-up o'Donnel had
| 10 box with a split mitt In the nth. and
not until the minutes rest previous to the
| final frame was new glove tied on Ms
hand
