 GEORGE FIGHTS LOSING BATTLE


 squared circle for hundred years, ana as will be written in the sporting columns as long as the fight game exists, Youth will have it's way. Fitted against experience, knowledge of the game and courage, the fresh ness and energy of the young man will call for it's own, and will not be denied. This is the story of the fight last night between Fred (Kid) George, of San Francisco, and Wal ter Caldwell, the speedy and hard hitting middleweight of Albuquerque, when the latter won the decision after ten rounds of hard but clean and clever fighting In the third round Caldwell nearly finished the go by swinging hard and straight to Kid Georges jaw, putting him down for the count of eight. He had just started to get up when the bell rang
 When the decision was made, Kid George, one or the best known men in the American ring, who, with the exception of four years, has been fighting since 1908, announced that he had fought his last fight, and that he would devote his time here after to promoting and managerial duties.
 am 31 years of age" he said, while scores of friends crowded around him to shake his hand and congratulate him on the showing he had made. 'T have fought the best there are, and now it is time to quit I used all that I had tonight, but was simply outfought. I feel that it is time to bring my ring career to an end, and I am glad that it ended with this kind of fight against a youth of the stamina of Caldwell.
 q do not propose, however, to leave the fight game. I will remain with it in other capacities than that of fighter. The tribute which was given to me tonight by my Bisbee friends has made a deep impression upon me"

He has long arms and he swings with every ounce of force in his young body At the same time he fights carefully. and never wastes energy if he can avoid it. George fought carefully. his ex treme cleverness and knowledge of the game saving him from much punishment. oBth men fought very cleanly. both willing to give the other an opportunity when a slip or a tumble threw one or the other off his balance.
 The first round was even. Cald we'll started with short leads, but George showed his cleverness right fro mthe start. The round was even and slow, with the fighters evidently trying each other out. In the second round, Kid George bothered Caldwell with straight jabs to the face, that caught the New Mexico boy as he came. into close quarters, but not with sufficient force to cause any damage. Caldwell opened up his ewings in this round, but could not land This round was even, with the crowd with George,
 The third ard decisive round op- ened with a rush. Both men were anxious to go, with Caldwell leading for the jaw and stomach, and George countering with straight lefts and rights to the face. Towards the end of the round, Caldwell swung his left and cleanly to Kid Georges jaw, dropping him on his back on the canvas. Referee Mohan counted eight when the bell rung, but George was almost on his feet when the round ended. This was CaldwelPs round by a lang margin.
 In the fourth round Caldwell start ed things again. He was quick in his actions, and evidently on his toes to finish things, but George had re- covered from the wallop of the pre- reding round, and forced the New Mexican lad to be careful. George did the leading, but Caldwell coun- tered with good effect. Caldwelrs round.
 Caldwell opened the fifth round with left and right to the jaw. George was giving ground, when Caldwell rushed him, when the old ring general slowed him with three
