SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2.--"Gun-boat" Smith the California heavyweight, scored a decisive victory Thursday when he knocked out Arthur Pelkey, the much heralded Canadian fighter, in the fifteenth round of their "white hope" championship battle in the Daly City open air amphitheater. The sailor was a strong favorite in the betting at odds of 7 to 10. Smith's aprivn.ci3 culminated in a clean cut right to the chin and his puperlor all around work in all but two or three rounds did much to pave, his way fo victory. Pelkey proved a keen disappointment, being slow and teIdoi taking the fight to his shlftier opponent. The fight opened with the Gunner forcing matters with snappy lefts to tho face; but Pelkey, making his best showing drove in eeeral hard rights to the body and face, that staggered Smith and sent him to his corner bleeding from the mouth. The crowd cheered the Canadian and bets were made at even money that he would win. Smith Scores Heavily. In tho second round Smith scored heavily to tho Jaw, and in the third Pelkey clouted his man viciously over the kidneys. Rounds four and five were without feature, but in the sixth fSmJth forged to the front and thereafter never was In danger. In this round he fought the Canadian to a standstill with left upper cuts, sending him to hia corner dazed and bleeding from the mouth. fcmith continued to gain confidence tia the fight progressed and dancing around his bulky opponent worked his left to great advantage and forced Pelkey to clinch for 8helter. After 30 eeconda fighting in the fifteenth round Smith feinted with his left, then swung hia right with lightning like rapidity. The blow landed with a crash on Pelkey's unprotected Jaw. Pelkey dropped with his eyes Klaesy. Mechanically he struggled to his feet at the count of nine and unsteadily assumed hia fighting pose. A left and right applied similarly toppled him on hLs hack and he was out when Referee Griffin awarded the fight to Smith.
