BRITISH BOXERS.
LONDON IDOLS' SUCCESS.
(Australian Press Assn.—United Service.) LONDON, October 26.
Jack Hood, the British welter-weight champion, and Teddy Baldock, the ban-tam-weight, remain the unshattered idols of the British prize ring. Each won a contest last evening before record crowds in the Albert Hall in three rounds. Hood sparred for one round, then he jumped in and thrashed the Italian Frattini, until his seconds were glad to throw in the towel.
Baldock seemed determined to prove that his close match with Phil Lolosky earlier in the year was a farce. He boxed fiercely, after a caution for low hitting. He knocked out Lolosky with a perfect right to the jaw.
