BOXING
WELLS DEFEATS JOUJRNEE. London, March 18. In the match against Wells in the Albert Hall, Journee opened with hurricane tactics, and Wells defended coolly. A beautiful straight left to. the jaw <!i». couraged the Frenchman, who suffered punishment from left and right. In the second round ho was apparently nonplussed, and returned to his corner wearily. "Wells continued aggressively from the third to the sixth round, anil wns himself hardly touched.' In the seventh round, Wolls boxed his opponent all over the ring, delivering some heavy punches. Journee rallied in the eiijhtli, ond made a rush in the ninth, receiving a straight left on the chin with torriflo force, and the spectators wondered why Wells failed to finish tho fight in tho tenth round. Journeo wont down four times in tho thirteenth round, for five, four, oiglit, and nine seconds, and wascounted out after a right, swing on tho point of the jaw. In n twenty rounds match in the Eolboni Stadium, Phil. Broom outpointed Matt. Wells. .
