night. Jack Johnson, the world's champion
heavyweight pujdllst. was at the ring
side and laughed at the efforts of the
men. apparently feeling satisfied that
no danger threatened his title from this
inost earnest seeker for a championship
bout. Kaufman, according to experts
at the ringside, did not show that he is
In the class of the big negro.
Jim Coffroth, of Colma. Cal., was a
spectator. He had nothing to say about
...v. ut me uoui, out said that,
while he had no signatures to the con
tract, he was sure he would secure a
match between Johnson and Ketchel. to
take place some time after October 1.
While Ross and Kaufman were being
attended to in the ring by their seconds
offrolh was Introduced. He addressed
the crowd briefly and said he hoped the
better man would win.
Kaufman Kasily Master.
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. Ross
butted toward the end of the round
but Kaufman was master of the round
by a small margin.
Italian's Blood Flows.
The third round found Ross willing,
lie sent two rights to the head, getting
ban blows In return, and a hard left to
the face, which made the blood spout
again from his nose. 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.
In the ninth Kaufman depended on
lef jabs to the face and then sent
Ross to the floor for eight seconds with
a left hook to the Jaw. 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. Kauf
man seemingly was unable to measure
his blows and was wild In his attempts
st a knockout, but was the stronger by
far at the finish, winning easily on
points.
Injunction Xot Served.
The Supreme Court Injunction grant
ed early today restraining Ross from
meeting Kaufman did not interfere
with the arrangements of the manage
ment of the Fairmont Athletic Club.
