 Seven Three Minute R0unds-A Scientific
 Bout Between Mitchell and Sheriff:
 NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-In the midst of a rain-1 storm to day small steamboat crowded with sporting men left the dock near Fulton Ferry and headed for the Sound to point on Long Island. The crowd was bound to see Mitch ell and Sheriff settle their scientific encoun- ter, and their $1O ticket showed that they wore perfectly willing to pay for anything that would please them. On their return journey their remarks and criticisms showed that they had not got satisfactory return for their money. There was too much sci ence and too little fight in the affair for those who were in the habit of getting knockout for their money, but the meeting was fair ex- been little moro positiveness in the leads and counters it would have shown that the men were indeed in earnest. William Sheriff, the Prussian, weighed 162 pounds, while Charles Mitchell drew the beam at 157 pounds. The former stands 5 feet 5 inches, while the latter is feet 8 inches in height. Billy Edwards and Arthur Chambers superintended the manipulation of Sheriff, while Joe Coburn and Billy Madden saw to the wants of Mitchell. According to the rules they were to fight six three-minute bouts, but neither being badly punished at the end of the sixth round, in response to the demands of the crowd, they had another three-minute bout, which ended like it's pre- decessors. In the seventh round Mitchell opened the ball by sending a stinging left handler in the face, Sheriff getting home on the nose. Then the blows came fast and furious. They fought all over the body, but Sherif's blows seemed to make the most marks, especially on the chest, back and neck, and when time for closing the bout was called, Mitchell was very shaky on his feet and was led to his chair. Sheriff was as strong as ever, and asked what was going to be the result of the affair. Harry Hill an- swered that the fight was draw, upon which Madden wanted to know how he made that out. 'tWell." said Harry, ''you had the best of it, but according to the rules declare the encounter Q draw" The crowd wanted the men to fight until one CT the oth CT was unable to continue, and to this propo- sition Sheriff was agreeable, but Mitchell would not consent and so the affair broke up.
