No time was lost in getting the men together, and Kaufman showed quickly by left Jabs and a hard right that he had taken his man's measure. Kauf man was cool and deliberate, almost measuring his blows, but the only tell ing blow Ross sent back was a right swing on the side of the head. The first round was easily Kaufman's. In the second round Kaufman rushed, but was stopped by three lefts, which drew blood from the nose. Tonl led with a left hard to the body and took a left smash In the face in return.

Kaufman was by far the better general in this round. Lefts and rights to the face were the blows with which Kaufman opened the fourth. Ross plugged for the wind, but took many blows on his face, one of which split his lip. There was no ques tion of the Italian's gameness, but he was outpointed. At close quarters In the fifth round Kaufman had the better of any ex changes, but Ross, rushing with left and right to the head, forced the Call fornian twice to the ropes. In a clinch Kaufman pummeled hard on the body but Ross was there with a counter and the round was about even. IJoss Hudly Punished. Kaufman missed several blows In the sixth, hut in every clinch he was the better punisher. Two hard lefts to the body by Ross steadied the big fellow and honors were even at the bell. In the seventh Kaufman led his left twice to the face, opening a gash over Ross eye. Tonl plugged for the body, landing effectively, but the big fellow best him off at long-range work Kaufman sent left, right and left In quick succession to Ross' face In the eighth round, hut allowed the Italian too much time to recuperate. Tonl sent a hard left to Kaufman a jaw but suffered a moment later, as Kaufman was on top of him all the time, forcing lilm to the ropes and doing all the lead ing. Almost Counted Out.

Ross came up weakly and soon was staggered bv a succession of rights and lefts In 'the stomach. Kaufman missed a right swing for the Jaw a second before the bell rang. Ross hugged at the beginning of the tenth, taking many a punch before he Rot In a left smash on the face.
