ABLE AMAZON TO WIN THE
PETERSEN'S THIRD WIN IN "COMEBACK” CAMPAIGN
FLOGS HARRY CROSSLEY
REFEREE STOPS FIGHT IN THE TENTH ROUND
MONTH OF SUCCESSES FOR FORMER BRITISH CHAMPION
JACK Petersen, former British Heavyweight champion, is now engaged in staging what promises to be the most successful back" in the history of boxing.
come-
DEFEATED a few months ago by Len Harvey
for the British heavyweight title, Petersen immediately set about to recover his lost glory and status in the Ring. On January 29 he laid out Charlie Smith in 16 seconds: On February 12 he knocked out Reggie Meen in the second round of a 15 rounds contest, and now he has beaten Harry Crossley, the fight being stopped in the tenth round.
ACCORDING to Heuter, Petersen last night met Crossley in his third "Come-back" contest, at Cardiff. Crossley, former Light-heavyweight champion was battered all round the ring by the fiercely attacking Petersen, and the referee found it necessary to intervene in the tenth round to save Crossley from further punishment.
PETERSEN IN A HURRY
STUPEFIED CARDIFF CROWD SEES SMITH BEATEN IN 16 SECS. Petersen's rapid defeat of Charlie Smith, whom he took sixteen seconds to knock-out, is vividly described by Fred Dartnell, the well-known News-Chronicle boxing correspondent in the accompanying article.
Cardiff, Jan. 30. A little before nine o'clock to night Jack Petersen and Charlie Smith entered the Greyfriars Hall ring for their much- discussed return match. Less than half a minute after, the bell had signalled the start of the fight it was over. Petersen had knocked his rival out in exactly 16 seconds, and the incredulous spectators could not realise that | the match was so quickly won.
This is not quite a record for "the happy dispatch" ἐπ this country. Georges Carpentier took a second less to beat Joe Beckett in their historic meeting st the Holborn Stadium.
There was one similarity, how- ever, about the two fights, for it was after slx seconds of actual fighting that the loser was knocked down. In Beckett's case the towel was thrown in after he had boon down for nine seconds, and Car- pentier was thus technically robbed of the credit of what was an actual knock-out.
Smith's seconds were so con- founded, like everybody else in the building, by the amazing fury and swiftness of Petersen's opening onslaught and its drum-
head forward, and, like a panther, his nd- rushed swift-footed at versary,
Only three actual blows were
struck-all of these by Petersen, The first, a left lead to the ribs, was "followed by an upward punch with the same hand to the face, and, before one could see its passage, Petersen brought his right hand, with

BATH THE FIRST ENGLISH SIDE TO BEAT LLANELLY
London, Jan. 31. Bath deserve credit for being the first English club so far to defeat Llanelly, but Bristol failed to repent an earlier success over Newport. Cardiff and Swansea are now
"all" squaro,"
having beaten each other twice this season.
There appears to be no stopping the Wasps, who are the only unbeaten club in the succeeding list. Their latest victims are the Old Millhillians.
