Billy De Foe
Stops Brown
In 1lth Round
Terrific Body Blows Bring
Victory to the Feather.
weight From St. Paul

Billy De Foe. of St. Paul, who has
been raising old Ned in the ranks of
the local featherweights recently, add
ed another victim to his list Of knock
outs at the Pioneer Sporting Clu, last
night by knocking out frankie brown.
Of this city, in the eleventh round.
Rights and lefts to the jaw were the
finishing punches that laid Brown on
the canvas
1t was evident from the start of the
bout that Brown was in there TO stav
the fifteen rounds. He rarely took the
offensive and De Foe punished him
badly with fierce drives for the BODY.
Brown was In shaky condition from
the sixth round on and was q mark
for fast left jab that the St. Paul
boy started to use at this stage of the
battle. De Foe would follow these
punches up with stiff right crosses to
the jaw.
In the eleventh round Billy went in
to finish the job and hard right to the
jaw made Browns knees buckle and he
fell to the floor, staying down for a
count OF nine, close to the ropes. When
he got to his feet DeFoe was waiting
for him and shot over another jarring
right squarely to the tip of the chin.
This time Brown was out "cold," and
was counted out by the referee. The
weights were announced as 1868 for
DeFoe and 12S1a for Brown. The club
house was comfortably filled and an
interesting set of preliminary bouts
ushered in the main event.
