A HEAVY BLOW.

WELLS BACK TO HIS OLD FORM

■LONDON,-June 30. Tlie knock-out blow was one of /the heaviest ever delivered in a heavyweight championship. Bell fell on to Well's chest, and the Englishman also staggered forward with the force of his own blow. When he got clear he allowed Bell to fall to the floor. The seconds rushed in and sprinkled w>ater over him. Wells protested angrily, but it was unneeessaiy, and Bell, with an agonised and dazed look, slowly dragged himself to his knees and frantically struggled to rise, clutching the referees' legs. Then, when the ten seconds _were up, Wells ran forward and assisted the Australian to his corner. Throughout the Englishman was disconcerted by Bell's rushing tactics, but he was steadier and in the second round he displayed his old science, with excellent- result. An immense crowd in the vicinity of Olympia received the result with wild enthusiasm.
