Omaha daily bee., 1883-08-01

upon the little man, who lodged two or
three blows, and then brought the au-
dience 10 its feet with a yell, by landing
a right-hander under the unknown's ear
which knocked him clean down. As
fighting goes, it was as pretty and neat an
operation as the most exacting in the
audience could desire. The unknown
looked astonlshed as he rose and made a
rush for Maynard, and looked more so
when he met another blow which put him
on his back again with his hose bleeding.
The excitement became intense as SCOTT
got his feet again and rushed Upon May
nard. The round resulted in nine knock
downs and throws for Maynard, who did
a terrific amount of hard, hot fighting in
a very cool manner. The last knock
down threw Scott against the ropes with
such force as to dislodge one Of the posts.
The confusion and noise was so great that
neither man heard time called, and May
nard strobe over his prcstrate antagonist
ready with another blow when he should
rise. The mems seconds, seeing by the
frantic actions of the time-keeper and
referee that time was up, rushed to their
men, and carried them TO their corners.
Scott was bleeding, blown and groggy.
AS he was dropped in his corner, Captain
Short jumped in the ring, followed by
half a dozen policemen, all the ring Off
GERS, hackers, seconds and betters, every
one shouting wildly and g%esticulating in
the most d~istracting manner.
THE POLICE CAPTAIN
Made himself heard on the stage at last
and said: "This fight must stop; that man
Is beat already" The audience could
not understand, and Jordon started to
announce the police verdict, when he was
interrupted by the information that Scott
was so improved by his seconds that the
captain had decided to let the fight go on.
Scott actually fought better in the first
half of the second round, getting in one
light blow on Maynard's face and several
on his body. Maynard forced the fight,
however, and rushed Scott to his corner,
where he knocked him down. As Scott
got up Maynard instantly knocked him
down again, and SCOTS second frantically
put in a claim of foul. The noise was so
great that no one could hear the referees
decision, but Jack Maynard, learning
that it was no foul, ran over to Harry,
%whereupon the latter impaired the infor-
nation to the unknown by knocking him
down again, The round was hard fight
ing all the time; Scott showing some
pluck, though his right eye was tightly
closed, his nose split and his body badly
punished. The men had several close raj
lies, which usually resulted in Scott getting
thrown. All through the round, and at
its close, Maynard was wildly cheered by
the audience, which expressed vigorously
its friendly desire to see Maynard knock
out the man who was matched to knock
him out. Scott came up to the scratch
in the third round rather groggy, and
Maynard smiling. The latter had only
to keep out of the big mans way for two
rounds to win the money. and plainly
started in the round with the good
natured intention. He danced around
the unknown blithely, not needing his
brother Jacks kindly advice to "Hit him
in the ear, Harry" But Scott, gaining
some confidence and wind through May
nard's actions, showed fight again, and
when at last he got a good sight with his
remaining eye on Harry's smiling face,
he unwisely punched at it. Maynard
lodged the blow, but Scott got in an I'M
dercut, which caused the little man to
conclude to end the fight as soon as pos
sible. He forced the big fellew over
against the rear rope, and when both re-
covered position Maynard got in a tough
Highlander on Scott's ear, that clearly
knocked the big man out of time. May
nard stood over him the prescribed ten
seconds, but Scott could not or would not
rise, and the fight was declared for May
nard, who was borne off the stage on the
shoulders of his seconds and hackers, and
the audience departed, ohssring aSsSosf1
bleeding, groggy, unhappy, was carried
to the dressing room.
