NEW YORK, April Mike Donovan, of |
Chicago, gave Prof. William Mcclellan, the
champion gloveman, a sound threshing last
night. Mcclellan, feeling his oats. offered to
fight glove contest with any man of his
weight in the country. The challenge was
accepted by Mike Donovan, of Chicago.
Donovan had done some good work
in the West in rough and tumble
scrimmages, but had not fought regular
fight. Arrangements for the contest were
put in the hands of a well known member of
the
UNION LEAGUE CLUB,
who managed the details so successfully that
even the fighters did not know where the
place of meeting was to be an hour before
the contest was begun. The purse was
$500. The fight was with gloves, under the
Queensbury rules. The regulations were not
carried out as there was too much wrangling
between seconds. Seventeen rounds were
fought, lasting forty minutes. As they faced
for the final round Mcclellan was already q
BADLY USED MAN.
His left eye was swollen terribly, standing
out on his face as large as turnip, blood
flowed from one ear and his nose was four
times the natural size. His cheeks were
swollen and his body ivid and black and
blue. Donovan showed not scratch. It
was foregone conclusion that Donovan had
the fight. The whole thing broke up in a
general row, all the participants engaging in
free fight.
