| admirers fancied that they saw signs OF
| blood and SO claimed, but the referee, after
/ CLOSELY examining Maloney, failed to de-
| tect any sanguineous matter, and disal-
| loved the claim. Time, 8 seconds.
Round Both men danced around the
| centre Of the ring for a second or two, aim
| ing sundry licks at each others head, most
! of which only "beat the air." Finally
| Maloney picked up Weedin and by main
strength dumped him into corner.
Round 4-On the call for time in this
| round both men stepped quickly into the
center Of the ring and began regarding each
| other in business like manner. One or
| two harmless blows were launched by the
one at the head OF the other, but without
much side foolshness. Weedin threw
Maloney into the same corner that had re.
| ceived himself on the former round.
Round 5-Was substantially recurrence
| of the others and ended with clinch, both
men falling together in an awkward man.
| ner in the center of the ring, Maloney be-
| ing allowed the fall on the claim of his
| henchmen.
Round 6-Was characterized by some
| fine preliminary sparring with the men
| showing the result of their training in the
| finished manner in which they delivered
their bows and the fne style in which
Il fhey lodged them. Maloney was finally
| thrown out of the ring by Weedin, who was
slightly scratched. First blood Tor Ma
loney.
Round Was by all odds the best, so far
as good fighting was concerned, of the mill.
Both men struck out we'll and each planted
some heavy blows on the face and breast OF
the other. Weeden evidently began to
grow restiye under the yells of encourage
ment that the crowd showered upon his
competitor, and to show the stuff in him"
did somesplendid. boxing, and finally knock
ed Maloney fiat upon his back, the hrst
square knock down OF the mill. Weeden
went to his corner on his feet, but Maloney
wos picked up and carried to his corner.
Round S.-Malouey came up looking very
malic;ously at Weeden, and struck at him
very wickedly, but his blows were skillfully
parried BY his more agile opponent, who
skipped nimbly about and around Malonhy
and succeeded in dodging nearly all OF the
other heavy blows. Afler time, however,
Maloney by passing a succession of advant-
ageous blows, succeeded in staggering
Weeden who, however, rallied and Knocked
Maloney into the grass. Both men were
bleeding slightly about the face, but neither
was punished very severely.
Round 9-Was a rather heavy and unin.
teresting skirmish, both men dodging for
advantages. Moloney finally tiring of the
maneuyers of his antagonist gathered him
up and threw him with terrific force over
the ropes on the west side of the ring.
This fall evidently hurt Weedin consider.
ably, for his seconds picked him up and
| carried him to his corner.
Round 10 Was a series of aimless
blows, which was terminated by another
| clinch, and fall in favor OF Moloney.
Round 1l-Maloney came to time this
round more readily than he had for some
rounds back and succeeded in battering up
| Weeden's face badly before the latter could
| close with him, and threw him heavily and
easily to the ground.
Round l2-The hard hitting OF Maloney
| in this round speedily covered Weeden's
| face with blood, which sometimes filled his
| mouth. Finally another "clinch" and fall
| terminated the round, the fall to the adyan-
tage Of Weeden.
Round 13 was conspicuous for the beau
| tiful sparring done by both men. Weedin
| came to the centre, his face illumined by
the stereotyped smile, but a blow or two on
| his ear and neck contracted the muscles OF
! his face in hurry and set him to work de-
| Tending himself from the shower OF blows
! that the county-of-Cork man was raining
upon his devoted head and breast. Maloney
| finally threw Weedin into a corner and
ended the round to his own advantage.
Round 14-Was a magnificent bout, both
men getting in their best licks," and try
| ing to do their best to narrow the contest
| down to q fine point. Weeden's superior
tactics were made manifest in this round,
| and he got in some good work on Maloney' s
| face and upper body. Maloney, however,
was outstanding his strength to soon strike
Weeden shoulder bumper, Telling him
| like an OK to the ground, amid the enthu-
| sAstic cheers of his large majority OF
| .le 10
| Round l5-Was the bloodiest and most
| stubbornly contested one of the fight $50
/ far.) Both men fought hard and well,
Weeden striking quickly and effectively,
getting in his work on the side, face and
neck of the older Mick" but the latter
was observing the tactics of his adversary,
and finally threw him heavily to the
ground, falling upon him as he went TO
grass. This round nearly exhausted both
of the men, and they were helped to their
corners with difficulty.
| Round l6-Was another exhibition OF
some of the fine fighting OF prize ring
Each man studied the movements OF the
other, and each strove to get in the heavy
work. Weeden, by the exercise of better
patience, began to tell on Maloney's face
and succeeded in beating it to jelly, be
sides cutting cash over his right eye, and
Sitting his upper lip. A final sumner
sent Maloney to grass and Weeden walked
smilingly to his corner.
Round 17-Weedin came to the scratch
with his usual grin and looking very fresh
while Maloney slowly and painfully hob
bled to the centre between his seconds
An aimless blow or two by Maloney wa
skilfully pared by Weedin, who soon end
ed the round by knocking MaloneY to the
ground. Malopeys seconds clamored for
foul, but the referee did not allow II, anC
time was called for the
Eighteenth Round, which was short and
decisive, Weedin speedily downing Malo
ney by an apparently light below.
Round l9-Was introduced by disgrace
full and miscellaneous muss. A great fat
putty.faced ruffian belonging to the Malo
ney gang, Jumped into the ring, frantically
waved his hands and yelled for foul fo
Maloney. Several others also joined him
and for a time a general row was immi
nent, but it was averted by the prompt &C
ropes, picked up the p. t. r. and tossed hin
lightly over the south side of the enclos
ure. Time was then called, and Weeden
with very great ease, sent Maloney to tn
grass the latter falling more from sheer eI
! ht.atiSu.ion than from the force OF the other
blows.
Round 20-It was very evident at tn
close of the 18th or 18th round that tn
fight was all in Weedin's favor, as Malone,
was all beaten to pieces, and at each rount
came to time reluctantly and painfully
while Weedin was as fresh as a daisy AM
as willing as an old maid In this rount
Maloney did practically nothing and fel
supinely at the feet of his opponent, VIII
hardly more than pushed him to the earth
Round q was practically the same as tn,
Goth and ended similarly.
Round 22-After Maloney had beer
made the recipient of several hard and wei
directed blows from the brawny fists o.
Moloney, he closed with him, and fell un
der, the fall being allowed Weedin.
Round 23-Maloney did not respond ver1
promptly at the call TO the scratch, ant
soon hunted his corner, followed by Weedii
who struck him once or twice in a negli
gent and carless manner. Before Weedil
could get in any good work Maloney fei
helplessly to the ground without bloV
having been dealt him.
Round 24-Was characterized by SOM
excellent fighting on the part of Weeden
who struck some hard blows at hi
competitor. most of which took effect an'
