Tut Jackson, the Ohio Cincinnatus
who left his plow in the Buckeye State
with the avowed object of eliminating
Harry Wills OF New Orleans as rival
OF Jack Dempsey, made a sad failure
OF his attempt at Ebbets Field last
night, when Wills knocked him out In
the third round of one sided con-
test.
Jackson demonstrated early in the
FIRST round that he was little more
than a novice. He was in a condition
Of terror from the time he first got
glimpse OF Wills's huge form until he
curled up on the canvas, completely
knocked out in 2 minutes and 5 sec
onds of the third session.
Wills shot heavy left handler in the
nnal round to the pit of Jackson's stom-
nch. which doubled up the Ohio battler
and twisted him around. Harry then
let fly his right which landed squarely
on the jaw and Jackson crumpled up on
the floor and was counted out
Wills dropped Jackson for a count of
eight in the first round and probably
would have stopped him In that round
but for a campaign of strenuous clinch-
ing inaugurated by Jackson to avoid
punishment and continued up to the
time he received the knockout punch.
The terrific hitting powers of Jackson
on which his managers dilated failed to
materialize. AS matter of fact Jack
son failed to land single blow with any
force behind it
jackson Uses Rough Tactics.
Jackson and his manager had previ-
Gus to the bout expressed the fear rnat
Wills would employ foul tactics. Then
to the astonishment Of the onlookers
Jackson gave an exhibition of foul fight
ing that seldom has been seen in New
York ring. In that respect Jackson was
an expert. He put his arms around
Wills and hugged him like a long lost
brother. He clamped his arms on Willss
gloves and the big fellow had the great
est difficulty in keeping his hands clear
so as to do any effective hitting.
The colored champion, however, while
in the clutches Of his opponent man
aged to infiict considerable punishment
on the body and SO weakened Jackson
that when his jaw was reached he fell
an easy victim.
Tut Jackson will now return to his
farm at Washington Court House. Ohio,
and reengage in peaceful agricultural
pursuits.
Chairman Muldoon OF the boxing COM
mission was considerably annoyed by
the misleading statements sent out by
Jackson's handlers as to his weight
and fighting qualifications 1t was
said in advance that Jackson weighed
200 pounds, was terrific hitter and a
desperate fighter. On the contrary he
proved to be without any fighting spirit
whatever. devoid of boxing skill and
without any hitting power.
Mr.. Muldoon intimated that he would
question the handlers of Jackson on
these points.
Tut Enters Rings First.
Tut Jackson entered the ring first,
but declined to sit in his corner. He
stood up and assisted the master Of the
ring in spreading the rosin dust. Jack
son stood up facing his own corner. He
wore bath towel over his shoulder and
never turned his head when Wills en-
tered the ring.
Wills started over to Jacksons corner
to give him the hypnotic eye. But Jack
son never looked around and Harry.
with look of scorn on his features. re-
turned to his own corner.
Jackson looked like a man who had
seen a ghost. He trembled, could hardly
hold himself steady while the camera
was taking the men in boxing position.
ROUND ONE-wills rushed and shot
a heavy right to the side OF Jackson's
head. Jackson clinched and the referee
pulled them apart. Jackson came to
close quarters and Wills pummeled him
in the ribs and head. Jackson was hold
ing Wills's left hand under his arm.
Wills banged Jackson in the ribs with
his right. Wills kept getting his right
over on Jackson's ribs. Wills shot
heavy right to Jacksons heart and then
hooked a right TO his jaw. sending Jack
son to the floor for a count Of eight.
When he arose Wills grinned at him and
gave him another right to the jaw. The
bell came to Jackson's rescue.
ROUND TWO-wills rushed and
hammered Jackson on the ribs with his
right. Jackson clinched desperately.
Jackson was doing all the hugging and
Wills the punching. Wills punched Jack
son on the ear with his right and ham,
mered him on the ribs with the same
hand Wills bumped Jackson in the
body with his left and Jackson clinched
and hung on like q leech, Wills ham
lnering him terrifically with rights and
iefts to body and head. Jackson was
wabbly when the gong ended the round.
ROUND THREE-Wils drove n
heavy left to Jackson's nose and Jack
son clinched, Wills pounding the body
at close quarters. Jackson wound his
left arm around Wills's neck and Wills
banged him IN the body with rights and
lefts. lie then shot left TO the stomach
and q right to the jaw and Jackson fell
In a heap to the floor and was counted
out

Long Island City 1895 times in ten
rounds. Mars landed on De Foe about
enough to dent a cream pun and Mars

any impression on an opponent. De Foe
received the decision.
The orcning encounters were lively
md amusing. Bill Doyle and Jack
Ridge, two trained Brooklyn heavies,
pounded each other to a standstill in one
round and could barely slap each other
thereafter.
They shed each others blood in large
quantities. Near the close Of the fourth
round the referee stopped the slaughter
and decided In favor OF Ridge.
