WELTER CHAMPION KAYOED BY NEGRO

REFEREE STOPS FIGHT

Chicago.A sensational negro warrior from San Francisco, young Joe Thompson, knocked out Joe Dundee, welterweight champion of the world, in the second round of ascheduled ten-round battle in the White Sox ball park.

Dundee, knocked down twice, was reeling and helpless, his back to the ropes, when Referee Eddie Purdy humanely stepped in and stopped the uneven battle.

Thompson was credited with a technical knockout. He did not win the world's welterweight title however, as Dundee, possibly fear- ing defent, forced the San Fran- cisco negro to weigh a pound above the welterweight limit.

First Round Even After a fairly even first round, Thompson, called the greatest negro fighter since Joe Gans, went to work on the world's champion in the second round like a butcher carving a side of beef. Thompson copped the titleholder with short straight rights to the chin that knocked bim silly. Dundee backed into the ropes and was an open target for vicious rights to the je and lefts to the body. He sought to escape, but foll a victim to an- other series of crushing rights that, knocked him flat.

He struggled to his feet at the count of nine, but was plainly in distress and virtually out.

Standing there with his back to the ropes, his brain in a whirl and his arms at his sides, Dundee was in easy, victim for an.. on- slaught of lighta that knocked him down for the second time. He gamely got on his feet at the count of nine but was groggy and de- fenceless and utterly unable protect himself.
