MalOney- Weeden fight Is . thing Of tht
pest and draw. The time and loca-
ton Of the contest has been kept 80 shady
that but little attention Was directed tc
the movements Of the "fancy," who
made their way in little groups of two
and threeE to AcKee's Rock last even
ing. At the latter place q chartered
stesmer was read at 10 o'clock to take
the crowd, which Numbered about 200,
to the scene OfRctiOn. The beautiful star
light ride down the Ohio was un-
ma -ked, save - being particularly
o.der.y for such az OCCASION. At about
O'Clock the boat touched shors about
500 yards n the OHIO side Of the state
line. After considerable discussion the
scene Of the struggle WAS chosen in q
large meadow on the property Of J. w.
Cunningham, right on the stats line. A
better spot could not have been selected,
inside the ring being as level as 9 billiard
table, and just sufficiently moistened to
afford foot hold, to say nothing of its
eInVe- fence in the case of heavy back
fall Eg one Of the cOmbatsnts. When
the magic square was formed, Weeden
at 5.25 SHE'D his caster, and stripped
himself q moment later, looking around
for. his somewhat tsrdy opponent, who
had not yet made his appearance. While
waiting for the latter, Weeden made
several large bets, favorable to his own sue
ess. After waiting about fifteen minutes,
Haloney made his appearance in full
ring costume, and took q seat opposite
Weeden. Weeden's seconds were
Thomas and Evans, while Malonev was
handled by Laferty and Burch. Thos. |
Brown WAS chosen as referee Maloney's |
weight was 1921 pounds, and Weeden |
tipped the scale ct l2S pounds. he wore
white breeches and blue stockings, and q |
belt OF the same color. Maloney wore |
red white aud blue. Wseden became
impatient at MGloney's non.Appearance,
and complained thst he had come to
fght and not to look around. AS soon
as both men were in the ring they 81 COX
hands, and stood up for the fight.
Round frst-The two men walked M
to the middle of the ring, and COM
menced striking at each other without
preliminary sDarring. A few severe
bows were struck, and Weeden went
down. The first knock down was
claimed for Maloney, bat not allowed.
Round second-A terrible left handler
from Weeden started the blood over his
opponents right eye. First blood for
Weeden. Msloney returned the blood
by rap over the others eye.

all over the ring, winding up with .
knock down by Weeden.
Fourth round-W eedeu stepped up
to the scratch IS livey as q c,icket, but
Msloney's movements were decidedly
slow, until be got out Of his corner. He
came up putting considerably and his left
eye WAS getting worse, while his nose had
begun to swell and bleed. The men con-
tinued some rapid and resounding body
blows, snd after the clinch Msleney went
heavily TO grass.
Round ftth-The first incident was .
drive on Msloney's already damaged OPP
tic which closed it completely. This was
followed up by RATHER in the mouth
that filled it with blood. Maloney retail
ated with several severe blows on
Weeden's ears, which, however, did moi
seem TO cause any inconvenience. !
Weeden fell underneath,
Sixth-A rap on Maloney's chest vas
paid back with . knocker on his oppo-
nent's forehead, which drew little more
blood. A clinck resulted in fall over
the ropes.
SeVenth-The men hammered aw az at
each other in short order. MsIoney deal
ing his blows mostly on Weedsn's ear,
and getting his share of the force on the
left eye and nose. Both those organs
were in very dilapidated cond ton, and
the general expression of MsIoney's face
was Wot+begone in the extreme. This
round was decidedly in favor of Weeden.
Eighth-SeverAl rapid blows on the
chest were exchanged, and Maloney got
in telling facer without return. a few
heavy body blows were exchanged and
both rolled over.
Ninth-More heavy fighting ended,

Of weakness, but led of with one of his

lecond like the drum department Of
May festival. WeedsE Was thrown.
Weeden csae up laughing
md bAndying jokes with the spectators,
While Maloney's appearance was lament
able, his face being much disfgured and
ais wind badly broken. Aaloney kept
nis opponent of for few seconds, while
he struggled for breath. Weedsn forced
) fight and they struck several wild
blows until Weeden went down.
TWslfth-Weeden got Ia three IoaDd-
ng clips in succession without return,
NO on the ear and one just above the

finger in the face that cut up his fore
lesd in 3 very noticeable manner.
hirteenth-Msloney aimed q wicked
me at the others face, but it was neatly
topped and the IrishmGn acknowledged
! noser and two on the chest. An At

esulted in g locked fall.
Fourteenth-MAloRey put in his left on
W eedsR's cheek with terrible effect
This was followed By rome long range
humping, and NAlOney knocked the
,ther clean off his feet.
The next three rounds we're all n
w eeden's favor, and his friends were
'fering odds Of two to one, with few
akers. Msloney was evidently getting
ired out, and his face losing all SEM
dance Of its original shape.
In the seventeenth round the MAloney
rowd claimed a foul, declaring their
nRa hRc been struck below the belt. The
eferee decided otherwise amid great up
oar.
Round eighteenth-NaIoney seemed
9TH to leave his corner while Weeden was
