OUT WELLS IN 2D R
Coast Heavyweight Springs Big Surprise, Flooring the Champion Three Times With Terrific Jaw Punches.
0U1D
New York, March 15. Gunboat Smith, California's heavyweight tyro, furnished the pugilistic surprise of the year by knocking out Bombardier Wells, heavyweight champion of England, in the second round of their scheduled ten-round battle here last night. The Gunboat, whom everybody expected to see well laced by the clever Briton, knocked Wells silly in the second fighting spasm. So completely out was the star from across the sea that he had to be picked up and carried to his corner to be revived. He was so far gone that the referee did not take the . trouble to. count, calling AVells' seconds into the ring to care for their man. The knockout came on the third knockdown Wells received, and they all" happened in the second round. The sudden and unexpected ending was as a bolt of lightning out of a clear sky. ' Wells had given a classy exhibition in the first round. He land
ed some forty punches in that period, using both hands freely and punching from all angles. He appeared to be all the class, and Smith looked like a raw -beginner, who was In for a licking and a boxing lesson at the same time. But with the opening bell In the second round the Gunboat party was a changed man. He had learned that he could not box with the Briton, and that his only hope was in carrying the fight to his taller foe and trying all the "time with the knockout wallop he knew he possessed In his right hand. He started with a rush. He got home with a left, then with a smashing rffcht to the body. The Briton wllteU, and a riRht to the chin sent him down. He took but a short count. Smith was after him like a mad man, and floored him again with his dreaded right to the Jaw.
This time the Englishman took the
full nine count before arising, and
when he got up it was plainly evident that he was groggy and unsteady on
his feet. He stuck his hands up, but
was very weak. The Gunboat tore into him, and Wells tried to fight back. The result " was that Smith measured him
with the right on the chin once more,
and Billy Wells keeled over for keeps this time. He was thoroughly whipped by a man who hits as hard as Bob
Fitzsimmons ever did. ,
The crowd set up a wild shout over
the American's unexpected victory lm
