GREENSBORO, Pa, June 2S.-The state al
thorities of West Virginia have suffere
another outrage upon their feelings and th
laws of their state: Two pugilists named re
spectively 7. B. Walling and Bryan Campbell
have come all the way from Colorado to shoy
that they could fight in our sister state wit
impunity. Yesterday afternoon the steame
j. G.. Blaine, was boarded by the usual elias
of citizens attending exhibitions of muscl
and nerve in the twenty-four foot ring
Take them as whole, the beauty of thei
physiques did not rise above their shoulders
The faces to be seen around the supper table
of the steamer were worthy the pencil OF {
Hogarth and certainly; showed more phases Of
ugliness than are often squeezed into moi
of thirty or forty men. However their per
sOnal advantages of appearance were not sell
bestowed and truth cOmpels the statement
that the behavior of the sporting party on the
rows or blackguardism and 1t is probable that
many other passengers up the Monoghalea
had no idea that the boat was carrying mate
rial for an interesting and moral athletic en-
tertaInment. The Blaine arrived at Greens.
boro about GAS a. m. to-day. A review OF
the crowd showed that it numbered at least
100, including reporters. The small steamer
Harry, of Greensboro, was engaged to carry
some thirty-fve and the balance made their
pedestrlanism. An hours ride Ion the last
brought the excursionists to point of Mo.
nonghela county, West Virginia, just across
the border.
No time was lost in getting to business. A
suitable spot was chosen on the property of
Mr.. Everly in a bottom under the grateful
shade of locust tree surrounded by forest
covered hills. The rops and stakes
were arranged at 9:20 this morning and thirty
five minutes later Walling stepped into the
ring and waited for Campbell, who followed
meanor of the two men differed very
widely, Walling was very quiet and undem-
onstrative, but Campbell threw his hat into
an enclosure with whoop, ere he crossed the
ropes" zone hundred dollars / win this
fight" yelled Campbell. Nobody took him
up and the proceedings opened with the choos-
ing of the usual officials, who were as fol-
lows: Referee, Pat Kelly; time keeper, James
johnson; umpire for Walling, James Pearson;
BELLS seconds were Pat Sweeney and Chas.
Robinson; while Patsy Malley and Geo. John
son handled WalliDg.
The latter's colors were red, white and blue
stripes, Campbell fighting in Emerald green.
The toss for corners resulted in favor of
Campbell, and he placed his adversary where
the sun would shine in his eyes as soon as it
appeared. There was drizzling, falling rain
at this time, but before the fight was ended
old sol stepped into the ring and belabored the
about the head, and showed his
Willingness to engage all the spectators as
well.
The referee made short speech, saying that
the men had come all the way from Colorado
to settle the question as to who was the best
man and asking for them fair show and no
favors. The crowd by this time had reached
about 200 persons. The news that a prize
fight was to take place attracted all OF the
male persuasion within radius OF several
miles. Among those who appeared to enjoy
the contest was an ex-Baptist minister who
had reached the scene by accident. At 1909
the principals ard seconds shook hands,
Campbell play fully bidding Walling good bye
as he returned to his corner
At 1920 time was called for round one. The
men advanced and retired, tented and gyrated
cautiously for full minute, each appearing
to have considerable respect for the balls of
the knuckles and muscle that were offered for
their close inspection, and drawn back when
they saw that there was no opening for a
blow. At last Campbell rushed
M and planted one on Walling's chest which
was promptly returned but the blow did not
hit Campbell, who in fierce luuge at Wal
ng's stomach knocked him clear off his
'eet First knock for Campbell.
Second ROund-COntlnuOu Sparrlng fol-
owed by blow in Wallipgs chest which
staggered him. The latter recovered suffi-
,iently to bestow hard rap on Campbelrs

knocked him down.

The men got within range at once and their
,ledge-h hammer fists played the anvil chorus
IN each others faces in quick time. Campbell
slipped down on the grass and the damages
were summed up as bleeding eyebrow for
for which Walling was allowed
irst blood, and broken finger for WalliDg
The third on his right hand.
Fourth Round-Walling' left hand was IN
good condition thus far and he proved the
act by driving 1t with straight from the
,houlper into CampbelPs left eye. Campbell
ew rapid body blows the men fell together.
Fifth Round--Campbell rushed in with one
If his favorite lunges at the ribs of Walling,
who seemed to have got the power of both
hands, shot out his left, and dealt
MS opponent two or three ter
.ific left-handers in the eye and
nose, getting away with very slight punish
ment. A clinch resulted in fall for both
men. Walling had the best Of the round.
Sampbell's face was bathed in BLOOD while
showed scarcely any marks.
Sixth Round-This was the hottest Of the
fight. Campbell led off with resounding
hump in the ribs. Walling returned one with
his left in Campbell's face, and they fought all
over the ring in desperate manner, each CIV
ng and receiving cuffs that seemed heavy
enough to fell an OK. Campbell at last got in
, telling blow under Walling's chin and
knocked him into his corner.
Seventh Round-When the seconds sized up
The Injuries of their men it was found that
Walling's left hand was disabled as well as
MS right hand in the same manner. Camp
oel looked so bad before that it was hard to tell
whether he was any worse now Or not Wal
ing was in bad shape now that his only service
lble fist was out of order but he did the best
ne could. After few exchanges in the face he
fell to avoid punishment, but Campbell who
was watching him closely, got in an upper
tut as he went down that raised big lump
over his right eye.

ushed at nina with a painful dab on the eye.
Walling left fly with both hands, and after
visiting his mans nose and eye with SAN
culinary and darkening effect, fell to avoid
missing. a vicious strike aimed at
lis face as he sank to the earth.
The next four rounds were in favor of
Walling, he making up for his lack Of strik-
ng ability by getting in number OF rather
eeble blows without return.
Thirteenth Handicapped, who began

III his strength into stunning blow at
Nalling's ribs, following it up with another
over the left eye. He received a smash on the
,ye, and then Walling dropped. Campbell's
ace was in very raw condition, and to say
hat it looked like raw beefsteak would be but
feeble smile. However, he still smiled as
veil rs the condition of his features would
lllow, and loudly expressed his confidence of
winning the battle.
The rest of the fight could only be described
ia the manner already applied to the rounds
given in detail above. Walling, though suf-
fering intense pain from his broken knuckle,
every time he struck the apparently insensate
carcass of his opponent, came up to the
scratch and in good shape until the thirty
