ANDERSON IN THIRD
Tacoma Man In Poor COndi-
fion for a Contest.
nr CHARLns 3. MATHIsON.

Eugene Tunney OF Greenwich Village
who for months past has been engaged
In an earnest and quite successful efoT
TO eliminate all the third rate heavies
in this part OF the country, achieved an
other victory last night at the Armory
A. A., jersey city, when he stopped ole
Anderson OF Tacoma, Wash, In the third
round OF a bout scheduled for ten.
Tho contest was one-sldcd and Ref
cree Phil Ehrhardt showed excellent
judgment in bringing the AFFAIR to
close forty seconds after tho beginning
OF the third round.
Anderron, who has little TO commend
him except strength and ability TO take
punishment, was on the receiving end In
the irst round, but managed TO reach
his corner without serious damage
Nearing the close OF tho second round
Tunney dropped Anderson for n count
OF nine. and while the Tacoman man
aged 10 arise he was Knocked Nat on
his back with a right 10 the saw Just
as the bell sounded for the close OF the
round, Anderson was now In help
less condition and Tunney pounded him
all over the ring He was hanging on
the ropes. unable to defend himself, when
the referee interfered.
Anderson was In badly damaged
condition when he entered the ring. He
had just arrived from Cleveland, Ohio,
where on Saturday afternoon he had
been knocked OUT in the eighth round
by X o. Bill Brennan Of Chicago. An
derson had two black eyes before the
first round with Tunney and strangely
enough, the Tacoma heavyweight was
very unsteady on his feet when he first
entered the ring. Ii may have been due
% the heat OF the beating he received
nom Brennan, but assuredly Anderson
was lacking in self polse before the
contest with Tunncy started.
Considering Anderson's condition,
Tunney should have stopped his man In
forty geconds OF the first round.
The spectators were kept waiting half
an hour before Tunney and Anderson
appeared and this was nscrbed by An
nouncer Merrity to delay by Anderson
in reaching the club.
After the Andersonian episode Augie
Rather and Marty Cross entered the
ring and remained there for twelve
tireSpme rounds Most OF the blows
aimed at each other hit the air. The
spectators complained OF lack Of ear
nestness on the part Of the pair and
some went 80 far as to intimate that
they were roommates. Rather had the
advantage In a majority of rounds, for
the reason that he was not so deplorably
bad as Cross.
Harlem Jimmy Carroll quit after one
round with Mickey Brown OF New
York Browns body blows took all the
fight out of Carroll and after shaking
hands with Brown at the call for the
second round Carroll left the ring

boxing dummy, on which he illustrated
the effective blows used by jim Corbett.

then matched the dummy against four
colored boys and battle royal ensued.
Nelson, in the course OF a speech. gave
it as his opinion that Dempsey was the
greatest heavyweight in the history of
boxing and is harder hitter than any
of his predecessors.
