j. b. Mccormick, of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, was referee, and Ed. Plumber time
keeper. The fight was under Marquis Of
Queensbnry rules. No time was lost in prelimi
nares and the men were quickly called to tn
scratch.
Round One--Mitchell confident, Mccartney
smiling and both cautious. Mccartney finally let
fly his right, catching Mitchell on the breast,
but little short for the effect desired. Mitchell
became cautious and then delivered vicious
left handler on the body, following with an effort
at fighting, which ended in clinch, when
Mccartney got in swinging right handler, and
the round ended in McCaffrey's favor amid great
cheering.
Rouno Two-Mitchell opened the round
with several terrible blows, seemingly determined
to force the fighting. McCaffrey took his
''gruef' getting, in meantime, good ones
on Mitchelfs face and head. Cautious sparring
10th sides succeeded. Suddenly McCaffrey
visited his antagonist on the right ear and Nit
chell seemed staggered. He gathered himself,
however, and administered some terrific sledge
hammer blows on McCzTrey's chest and neck
McCaffrey was giving good as he got. Mitchell
tried 10 force his opponent to the ropes but
Mccartney would not yield and some short, sharp
fighting ensued. When time was called McCaf-
frey seemed 20 have had the best of it.
Round Three-Both men considerably
blown. Mccartney, confident, jumped to the
middle of the ring Mitchell, trying 10 force the
fighting, received staggering right handler, and
blood flowed from cash over his right eve and
from his nose. First blood for McCffarey 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 de-
Tense, and McCatfrey once missed his
chance. Mitchell got angry, and attempted
again to bear Mccartney to the ropes, despite re-
peared warnings of referee, who finally had to step
into the ring and led the men to their corners.
The excitement now was intense. The crowd
shouted and yelled like mad men, Mccartney
plainly being the favorite. The garden was a
bedam when time called.
Round four--Mitchell looked much the worse

rapid exchanging followed. McCaffrey's work
was most telling. Mitchell resorted to his old

work with that right hand and not forgett his

referee tried TO make himself heard but in vain.
He stood at the ropes with the hackers of the
men either side evidently trying to induce
him to say something. Whether it was to re-
verse his decision and call the match q draw, or
order another round, could only be surmised.
At any rate when Mccormick could make him
self heard he announced his decision. McCaffrey
had won the match and all the gate money. This
made the crowd crazy again and they cheered
for McCafrey and the referee.
