t c.vliplbell beats jennffngs.
Against the. odd h . of weight and etrcngtli
"Duke" Jennings (10 10 lb.) at the Mel
bourne Athletic Pavilion last' night iu a "contest
.with.Brillo'V Campbell (11 nt,. 6) proved himself
o campaigner of great resourcefulness and won-
dcrM. courage. From the beginning - Jennings
rclicfl'oii the- use of a hard driven left, and this
was incessantly played upon Campbell's face with
riTn effect disastrous to the recipient's appearance.
Frequently JonningR crossed the right to the
dhln, but it never had sufficient weight in it for
a knock out. Campbell made the most of his
physical advantages and fought wholly for a knock
out, but Jennings's elovernct's in dodging and
ducking enabled him to weather the storm hurl
ing around him. tie was hustled about badly,
however, and loiik large doses of heavy punish
ment. 'lie was floored a dozen thfies, ami often
took the count of 9, but even when Campbell
was about to eongratifhite himsdf on being well
rid of u nuisance, -the exasperating Jennings would
stagger to hi« feet and dodge rockily about his
opponent till the gong relieved him. From tho
cighpf round ". Campbell foiight with on'p eye' and
'a nose- like a 'beetroot. Jennings had peppered
him to constantly with the left that the left
half of.-hto face wjl< in aH'ery bad way. It wan
a -relief to Uampbclt when in the isth- round he
ewjmg -a vicious right that landed square on the
chin of-, the '.elusive .'Jennings ."and spread him
"out for- about 10 minutes.' -
