British Flyweight Stops st,

of Ten-Rounder.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jan. 3O.-Jimuiy
Wilde, flyweight boxer Of England,
knocked out Mike Ertle, st, Paul, early
in the third round OF ten-round bout
last night.
The blow that stopped Ertle was
Tight-hRnd blow TO the jaw which fol-
lowed a straight left to the face. Wilde
was the first TO land in the opening
session. He peppered away with several
straight lefts Mike got in some good
right and left blows to the head and
body, but this apparently did not bother
the Englishman.
In the second round Wilde scored
with right and left blows to head and
body at will, and leaped away from
anything dangerous offered by Ertle.
The round ended with Wilde having
much the advantage. The Englisman
waded in at fast clip as the third
opened, offering rights and lefts to
head and body without damaging re-
turn, and at the end of about a min
ute in the final session, caught Ertle
with stiff right to the jaw. Ertle's
hands dropped TO his side and a second
later he reeled and fell to the canvas
and was counted out. He tried to rise
but couldn't make the effort in the pre-
scribed time
Wilde weighed 1881 pounds and Ertle
