BOMBARDIER WELLS
STOPPED IN FIFTH
English Heavyweight Cham
pion Knocked Out by Sergt.
Beckett in London.

LONDON, Feb. o7.-Bombarder Billy
Wells. the heavyweight champion of
England, was knocked out by Sergeant
w. .. Beckett of Southampton In the
NTH round OF their bout in the Holborn
Stadium tonight. They were to have
gone twenty rounds. Wells won the in
terallied service title in the Albert Hall
bouts and showed such great improve
ment that lie was expected TO win from
Beckett. But Wells showed his old in
ability to take "A punch on the jaw.
Beckett now will meet Sergeant Frank
Goddard for the right to fight Georges
Carpenter for the heavyweight cham
pionship OF Europe. Goddard some time
ago knocked out Dick Smith. light heavy
weight champion OF England. but the
match was at catchweights and Smith
kept the championship,
Carpenter was at tho stadium to-
night and was greatly interested in the
proceedings. He was surprised at the
poor showing made by Wells. whom he
once knocked out in four rounds and
later in one round.
Beckett fought for the air service In
the recent Albert Hall tournament. where
he defeated the American. Joe Cox.
To-nights contest was tense and eK'
citing. 1t soon became apparent. how
ever, that Wells was suffering from
nerves" He went TO the for repeat
eddy, yet he fought with great skill and
had things his own way In the second
and fourth rounds. Nevertheless he was
counted out in the fifth.

Miss Sears played a great game. so
that the match was hne exhibition Of
good tennis, but II could be noticed that
the champion always had the contest
we'll In hand. When II became neces-
sary to obtain points she cut loose with
a drive the Boston girl could not handle
and which kept Miss Sears charging
from on. side o; the court TO the other
To Miss Sears's credit were some re-
markably clever gets. hut the return ball
always found Miss Bjurstedt waiting at
the right spot. The gallery was ever
ready TO applaud the good strokes Of
both players and was especially appre-
ciative Of funny little ordinations OF
surprise that kept escaping Miss Sears
Two or three times she used a severely
cut return that fooled the champion and
then gizeied in great Amusement. Miss
Bjurstedt was very much stronger than
Miss Sears on her overhead strokes
taking them with a long. free sweep
which put plenty of speed behind the
ball.
The first game of the match was a
long drawn out AFFAIR. going to deuce no
less than ak times before the Norws-
gian eirl. with sudden Tightening up,
finished Il with two smashes
This was the keynote OF the match.
for while Miss Sears played the top Of

the feeling that the Morse girl had the
ability to go about precisely as she
pleased at all times.
