which Williams chung TO Turner like
long lost brother and thus avoided

Turner sent Williams to the canvas in
the sixth round with a straight right
handler on the point OF the jaw. The
Bridgeport man took the count of seven
and rose in a very unsteady condition.
Turner sprang at his man, and after
feinting him 10 4 confused condition shot
another right TO the jaw that landed in
a CHANGING way. Williams was all at
sea at this point. and the bell saved him.
He was so excited and groggy that in
stead OF going to his corner he wab-
bled to the centre OF the ring and stood
there till his seconds led him TO his chair
Turner got after his man in the sew
enth md hammered him all over the
ring. hut the bridgeport man showed
great vitality and by hugging desper-

DEMPSEY DOWNS
SMITH IN SECOND
"Gunboat" Is Knocked Out in
Buffalo Ring-Flo0red
Nine Times.
Special Despatch to TIE srS.

BUFFALO, Dec. 30--Jack Dempsey, the
logical opponent OF Jess Willard for
the heavyweight championship, contin-
ued his remarkable record OF knockouts
at the Queensberry A. c. tonight. He
stopped "Gunboat" Smith in the second
round OF contest scheduled for ten
rounds.
The fact that Smith had once re-
ceiyed the decision over Willard in q
twenty round bout, led many OF the
enthusiasts of this city to believe that
he had chance against the thumper
from Utah, hut this was dhpelled in
the first round.
In the first round Dempsey dropped
Smith six times. and three times In
the second round, the last count run
ming over tho ten second limit.
The first punch that Dempsey got
home solidly apparently did tho busi-
ness. It came after Jack had spent
a minute boring In with great show
OF speed and determination. CrowdinE
the Gunner near the ropes he whipped
in a short LEFT Jolt TO the jaw. Smith
went down for the first count.
He was dazed when he arose and
covered. but Jack threw him of and
shifting quickly got him down again
In a few seconds for another count OF
nine The rest OF the round was ex-
hausted in tho effort Of Smith to stand
his man off and to arise after each
trip TO the canvas.
Fairly dragging tho man TO his cor
ner, Smiths seconds worked energeti-
cally over the Gunner. They sent him
out at the gong in fair FORM Smith
awaited the approach OF Jack who slid
In with a wicked shift and swung a
long desperate right Jack sidestepped
out OF harm and the impetus OF the
blow carried Smith to the floor. He
arose and as Jack rushed in, clinched
desperately.
Jack threw him Off with blow to the
back OF the head and a moment later
sent him to grass again with a left to
the mark. Smiths efforts at fighting
back were blocked of and body and
head drives again brought Smith down.
Up again a right swing caught him on
the head and he went to tho floor for
good. struggling to arise while referee
Nugent counted the fulr ten and waved
to Dempsey as the victor.
Dempsey weighed 100 pounds and
Smith scaled at l73.
Dempsey and Smith had met once be-
fore. They came together In four
round bout on the coast year ago, and
Dempsey got the verdict on points.
