(By AIR MAIL)
"Spider" Kelly, of Derry, Bri tish and Empire feather-weight champion, boxed a draw with Tom over ten Smith (Sunderland) rounds at Newcastle, Kelly, who had flown from Belfast to Man- chester, and arrived at Newcastle only a few hours before the fight, was the aggressor at the start, but Smith boxed cleverly on the re- the treat, and sometimes made champion miss with his left leads. Once Smith caught Kelly with a left to the jaw which unsettled him.
Smith scored at long range, but whenever Kelly got to close quar- ters he was the master with short arm blows to the body. The Sun- derland boxer, however, fought back in great style in the last two rounds to earn a draw.
