ell. Both men looked in a prime eondi
ton. Each scaled l65 pounds. Mitchell
is % years old and stands 5 feet 50 inches
high. McCaffrey is 81 years old and is
5 feet % inches. Mitchell was attended
by Billy Madden and McCaffrey by Billy
Edwards and Tom Campbell. J. b. Nc
Cormick, of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
was referee. The fight was under the
Marquis of Queensbury rules.
Round Mitchell confident, McCaf-
frey smiling; both cautious. Mccartney
finally lets fly his right, catching Mitchell
on the breast, but a little short. Mitchell
delivered a~vicious left-hander on the body,
followed with an effort at mitigating,
which ended in a clinch, when McCaffrey
got in a swinging right-hander, and the
round ended in McCaffrey's favor.
Round Mitchell opened the round
with several terrible body blows. Nc
Caffrey took his cruel. getting in the
mean time some good ones on Mitchelrs
face and head. Continuous sparring sue
ceeded. Suddenly McCaffrey visited his
antagonist on the right ear, and Mitchell
seemed to stagger. He gathered himself,
however, and administered some terrible
sledRe-hammer blows on McCaffrey's
chest and neck. Mccartney was giving as
good as he got. Mitchell tried to force
his opponent to the ropes, but McCaffrey
would not yield, and some short sharp
fighting ensued.
Round 3 Both men considerably
blown. McCaffrey confident, jumped to
the middle OF the ring. Mitchell trying
to force the fighting received a staggering
highlander and blood flowed from a
cash over his right eye and from his
nose. First blood for McCaffrey claimed
and allowed. McCaffrey now seemed to
have things his own way. Mitchell in
his efforts to get in his telling body blows
was losing his defense, and Mccartney
never once missed his chance. Mitchell
began to get angry and e~ndeavored again
to bear Mccartney to the ropes. despite
repeated warnings of the referee, who
finally had to step into the ring and lead
the men to their corner. The excite
ment was now intense. The crowd
shouted and yelled like mad men, Nc
Caffrey plainly being the favorite.
Round Mitchell looked much the
worse for the wear. His face had con
siderable blood on it, but he still went at
it gamely. In a moment McCaffrey let
go his left, but was neatly stopped, and
Mitchell sent back a hard one on Macs
body. Both men clutched and some rap
id exchanges followed. Mccartney work
was most telling. Mitchell resorted to his
old tactics of bearing on his opponent,
but McCaffery was clever in keeping
away, always doing good work with his
right hand and not forgetting his left.
During the clinch that followed, Police
Captain Williams stepped on the stage,
and, putting his club between the men,
ordered the fight to stop.
The referee called time at this iuncture
and a wild scene succeeded. Everybody
yelled and nothing could be understood.
The referee tried to make himself heard,
but in vain. When Mccormick could
make himself heard. he announced his
decision: McCaffrey had won the match
and all the gate money. This made tie
crowd crazy again. They cheered for
Nee frey and the referee.
