BOXING. WORLD’S BANTAM-WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. Press Association —By Telegraph— Copyright LONDON, May 5. Baldock (England) defeated Bell (America) on points. Baldock made a great opening, getting two hard rights to the head and a good left to toe jaw. Thereafter there was even work until the fifth round, which was entirely in the Englishman’s favor. Baldock missed several times with the right during the sixth, but was in the ascendant in the seventh and eighth, when the smile disappeared from the American’s face, Bell uppercut in the ninth, and was evidently out to finish his opponent, but was frustrated, ihe loser made another great effort in the fourteenth, and twice had Baldock on the retreat, but the latter, by marvellous boxing, held off his opponent, and'scored four lefts in quick succession. A fierce fight ensuedin the final round, Bell realising that his only hope lay in a knock-out, but Baldock was far’too clever. The result was received with great enthusiasm. The critic for the ‘ Daily Telegraph states that the fight was a model of cleanliness, and one that may not be forgotten. A crowd of 7,000 men and women roared when the twenty-year-old youth was acclaimed the winner against Archie Bell, after such fighting as London has not seen for a decade. Baldock is a tall, thin youth, with a childish 'pale face, and strange brown eyes. He fought a full-grown man, and, except for two rounds, was the master. There never could be a more pulsating last round. Bell, throwing caution overboard, but without seeing red, stalked after his man. Baldock did not retreat but got home a heavy right-hander. It was death or glory for both. Baldock proved a worthy champion. SWIMMING. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. PARIS, May 5.
