Exciting SlOggtng Match.


SAN FRAScIsco, May 23.-No such in
terest has been evinced here in any glow
contest since the Sullivan : Thompson
Knockout as was shown in the one tina
took place tonight in the Pavilion between
Charles Mitchell, the champion of Eng
land, and Mike Cleary, the middle-weigh'
champion Of America. Interest in the
event was intensified by the difference in
the nationality of the contestants. The
opinion as relative to the merits OF the
men were about equally divided, and
betting wal In the same ratio. The con
ditions Of the contest we're that the winner
would receive rs per cent Of the gate
money, the loser rs per cent. II was sup
posed up to a late hour this evening thai
the fight would be stopped by the city au'
thorities, as the Board of Supervisors fol
three days has had under consideration
the question Of the desirability OF stopping
slogging matches in this city once for all,
The majority OF them, however, reached
the conclusion that it would be o shame
to spoil good fun, 80 the further consider
alton OF the matter was postponed until the
contest was over. About 4, 200 people were
present, embracing every class from the
United States Senator down to the small
est Tip" The entertainment opened
with the usual exhibition between local
celebrities. The match terminated al
ll:40. They fought four rounds withou,
any material damage to each other, when
the referee interfered and declared 1t
draw. Tit opinion is that Mitchell had
the best of it.
In the first round both were confident
and determined. Mitchell was in the best
condition Of the two, and spared eau
tiously for two minutes. Mitchell led
with q powerful blow on Cleary's stomach
The latter responded with q light tap
Second round-Mitchell gave Cleary o
left-hander on the face. The former forced
fighting. rushing Cleary against the ropes,
where a heavy fight ensued, Cleary acting
on the defensive. Third round-Cleary
secured the first ~knockdown. Mitchell
then fought Cleary over the ropes, dealing
some terrific face blows, and bringing
blood from Cleary's nose. The latter re-
sponded with several vicious blows in
Mitchell's ribs. Fourth round-Mitchell
rushed on Clesry, showering blows over
his face and body. Cleary returned with
light taps. At the end of the round
Mitchell had Cleary against the ropes, and
blood was streaming from the latter's face
when time was called.
LATER-Much dissatisfaction was expressed
in sporting circles over the decision of the
referee in respect to the Mitchell Cleary
glove contest of last night. The English
champions admirers claim that he had the
best of it through the entire four rounds
and that had the fight lasted another min
ute Cleary would have been knocked out
Cleary's friends on the other hand say thu
American champion proved himself tht
better nan of the two, as he knocked
Mitchell clean off his feet in the thirt
round. To this Mitchell's friends reply
that the Englishman slipped, and that if il
had not been for this he would not have
gone down at all. The referee, however
sticks to it that in deciding it a draw ht
acted fairly to both men. The contest wai
only for four rounds. Neither of the mer
were badly punished. The dispute will
probably result in another match to q fin
ish. II ia stated .his morning that the re
ceipts Of the house were $1,000, which
after deducting expenses, will be divided
between the two contestants.
Mitchell leaves for the East On Tuesda,
next to fight Charles Lang, of Cleveland
o.. Lang telegraphed Mitchell that b.
would fight him, Queensbury rules, fol
$1,000 and the entire gate money, or foI
$500 in a private room.
