Both were pretty badly punished.
The tight between Gallagher and Elliott
was in the same ring, and was determined
and brutal. 1t ended in rough and tum-
Bile encounter and most uni ust decision
The weather was quite chilly. The ring
was nitched in wet, slippery locality. =
Joe Parish, of Cleveland, umpired for Gal
lagher, and Dennis Moynahan, OF Detroit,
and johnny Mackey, of Cleveland, Sec
onded him.
| The same offices were respectively per-
| formed for Elliott by Dan Leckey, of New
York, Dan Brown, of New York, and Tom
Allen, of Cleveland.
Joe Colbert, of Philadelphia, was chosen
referee. He was through the fight COM
pletely managed by Elliott's party, and
by his unfair decisions gained no friends
from either side. 1t was quite apparant
that had he decided against Elliott he
would have been killed.
The fight commenced at eight minutes

mouth. Elliott thus getting first blood.
They clinched and fell, Elliott under.
Second-The men visited each other Sc
verely on the ribs, breast, shoulders, neck
and head, without any severe disfieure-

variably ended in his going down to pre-
vent disastrous blows.
Up to the conclusion of the 14th round it
was give and take, and the result at that
time was in favor of Gallagher. Elliott
had his right eye completely shut, so as to
be useless. He was pretty badly bruised
in different parts of his body. His right
hand was badly injured, and appearances
indicated that he had mistaken his man.
On the other hand, Gallagher had a
swelled nose and enlarged ear and several
sore ribs. Otherwise he was uninjured.
In the fifteenth round Elliott rushed at
at his opponent, cliDched and pulled him
down. AS they reached the earth Elliott
attempted to gouse out one OF Gallagher
eyes.
The ak remaining rounds were fought
in about the same manner, Elliott on each
occasion attempting the gouging process,
and with partial success. On one occasion
he rolled Gallagher completely over. got
upon his back and attempted with both
hands to take his opponents eyes out. This
fraud was so plainly to be seen that Gal
laghei's friends interfeTed and promiscu-
GUS row seemed imminent. Quite num-
ber of men rushed into the ring and the
excitement be came very great. Gallagher
arose on his feet after the close OF the
twentieth round, and having failed to Sc
cure previous claims of foul, refused
to proceed further with the fight before
