bury rules, points and endurance
to count. Mitchell has been
in training at Far Rockaway two weeks
and Sheriff under care of Arthur Cham
bers the same length of time at Phiiadel-
phia. Mitchell, his trainer, and Billy
Madden entered the ring at $40 and was
closely followed by the Prussian and his
seconds, Arthur Chambers and Edwards.
Both men appeared in good condition.
Mitchell won the toss for position and Sc
lected the southwestern corner of the
ring. At 5:52 the men advanced to the
center of the ring, shook hands and i'm
nediately put themselves in position for
fight and commenced
THE FIRST ROUND.
The first part of the three minutes al
lowed for the round was spent in Ineffective
sparring for all opening. Mitchell got in
the first blow, upon Sherif's stomach, fol-
lowing with stiff right handler on his
chin. Sheriff couutered on Mitchell's cheek,
and also landed heavy right handler on
his face. Mitchell returned the nompli
ment with a good one on the breast, and
time was called.
SECOND ROUND.
After little sparring Sheriff let fly his
right at Mitchslrs face, but was we'll
stopped. BE got in, however, two heavy
right handlers without much effort. Mitch
ell made play with his left, but was
short. Then, guarding his dis
tance better, Mitchell followed
Ieft bondor rubioh
reached its destination, landing in the
smeller and tapping the scarlet. The
men now got to close quarters and the
fighting was about even in delivery and
effectiveness. The head was the objective
point of each when their arms dropped at
the call of time.
Notwithstanding the heavy work in the
previous rounds the men came to the
scratch in good form and each looking
confident. Sheriff led, planting his right
on Mitchelrs neck. Sheriff's stomach
again offered attractions for Mitchell who,
not to be denied, visited that part of his
opponents anatomy, and Sheriff
looked below to mend. He
was badly winded. Mitchell
kept at work and the Prussian, notwith-
standing Mitchelrs visitation, was quick
in response. A hot battle was now being
weged, Mitchell doing heavy work with his
left and Sheriff planting some heavy right
handlers on MitchelPs head. Mitchell drew
blood second time from Sheriff's nose,
as time was called.
FOURTH ROUND.
There was little appearance of fatigue in
either of the men as they stood up for the
fourth time. Mitchell led off with blow
at Sherif's head, which was neatly stopped
and followed cnce again with heavy left
handler on the Prussian's stomach Just
above the belt. Then followed some quick
counters but without damage and the
round closed by Mitchell delivering q
terrific blow in the ribs.
FIFTH ROUND.
No time was lost beginningwork, although
both men showed signs of tiring. They
soon came together and the heads of b 9th
suffered for some seconds. Sheriff got
in right handler on MitohelPs throat,
the latter counting with his left hand on
the stomach and his right on the head.
This was the best fought round and the
only one in which the men showed real
fight.
SIXTH ROUND.
The men came up spryly and lost no
time sparring. Mitchell delivered left
handler in Sheriff's stomach, while the lat
ter planted ha I'd one on Mitchelps head.
Another left ha nder from Mitchell almost
knocked Sheriff down. He rallied quickly
however, and put in some telling blows.
This was very eventful round, and wound
up with Mitchell planting left handler on
Sherif7s nose and right on his stomach.
Sheriff did some hard hitting, while Mitch
ell often fell short. The younger man
however, looked fresher when time was
called.
SEVENTH ROUND.
There was soma delay in getting the
men together for this round, as the referees
said the agreement provided for but six
rounds should be sought. The spectators
set up loud cries for the fight to continue,
which had the effect TO bring
the men together again.
They quickly began exchanging
heavy blows in the face. Michel got in a
left-hander on Sheriff's stomach, which was
returned with hasty under cut on the
chin, Mlchell getting in similar blow
and left-hander again on the stomach.
Both spared carefally for a time, and then
Mitchell landed heavy one on Sherlf's
nose. The latter did some heavy work on
Mitchelrs head with both hands. until one
of Mitchelrs stomach blows cut his wind
short. This round finished with some
sharp hitting on both sides. Tho fight oc-
cupied about thirty minutes. When the
crowd of on-lookers, who paid $40 each
to see the fight, saw both men pre-
pairing to leave they declared they
should fight it out. The referee, however,
decided the fight over, and that the result
was drawn. There were renewed yells, and
the fighters evinced disposition to go on,
but referee decided against them. Neither
man appeared punished. Mitchell walked
to his carriage as lightly as he left it be-
fore the fght. A slight swelling OF the
face was tho only indication of the fight
about the person of the Prussian. The fight
was very unsatisfactory to all concerned,
and attempts were made to arrange anoth-
er match to be fought in Mexico for 81
