never did get the range, Tender step.
ping out of reach without an effort. The
defensive work of Tender was perfect,
and it was seldom that Jackson con-
neCted with anything that resulted in a
good punch. JaCksou's right swings, his
best offensive weapons, missed by the
proverbial mile, and his left jabs never
did connect.
Lew Good in Clinches
In the rallies at close range jackson
managed to connect, but the extra work
wore him down and left him easily open
for anything that Tender wished to
throw his way.
The eleventh and twelfth rounds were
fast. with Tender in the lead 1t was
noticeable that Lew was saving his left
and he was peppering Jackson freely
with his extended right, The most de-
cisive round of the night was the thir-
teenth, and it was anything but lucky
for the New York boy From the start
to the finish Tender launched such an
intensive and cutting offensive that he
had jackson holding after the first thirty
seconds, Lew needed no aid from the
referee to shake off his clinching foe
and gave Jackson a terrific smash to the
/ body every time they separated.
| Jackson's right eye got in the way OF
a right cross and soon began to weep
| like a cloudy April day. The blood
/ gushed all over JaCkson's face and il
! required only a few well-placed rights
/ to the wounded orb tC have the gore
/ spilled all over Willie's body.
Tender backed Jackson into a neutral
corner and dealt out such a terrible
lacing that gameness alone permitted
Jackson to stand up under the punish
lment. Jackson's mouth and nose were
not neglected, and when Willie re
turned to his corner when the welcome
gong sounded he Tesembled one Of the
badly wounded survivors from the
Ypres battle front.
The fourteenth and fifteenth wer,
speedy, with Tender debating the pact
all the time. Jackson limited his rail-!
in the final minute of the concluding
round, but IL was met by more spir
tied and determined effort on the part O
the Quaker City boy, the unCrowneC
lightweight king, to use the words o
Judge Imber, who witnessed the en-
gagement from the ringside.
Tender showed no effects from tn
grueling encounter and the only injur.
he carried away was that spraineH an
swollen left thumb. Lew also was hi
low, for his cup was badly dented. Jack
son was warned only once, this i'm tn
eighth round for an intentional fol
attack.
