eleven persons.
Both men are said TO have come
from the oil regions Of Pennsylvania.
and the match was made up IN Tidi-
QUITE.
They had tried to meet in PennzvI,
vania. but were prevented by the
authorities. and came to Fort Erie
where all was safe. Everything was
kept very quiet. so quiet that even the
sporting circles here knew nothing of
It.
Thirtv-fve rounds were fought. but
on the thirtv-sixth Donnelly failed to
come to time. and Uagan was declar-
ed 10 be the victor.
Hagan's cheek was split open. and
