An Exciting Match.
CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-Probsbly the most
interesting glove contest ever witnessed in
Chicago occurred tonight, in which Jack
Burke, of Chicago, in three rounds knocked
out Mike Oleary, of New York. Professor
Tom Chandler, Of Boston, and Captain
Dalton, Of Chicago, seconded Cleary. Tom
Chandler, of Chicago, and Jack Floto per-
formed she same ervice for Burke. Both
men were in prime condition, Burke
weighing 165 pounds and Cleary about the
same. The men spared an instant for
an opening. and a moment later Cleary
vent to the grass from 8 terrific back
handler from Burke's left. which struck
him square in the eye and brought blood.
Tn round was finished with some inef-
~fectual attempts on Cleary's part to get in
his right on Burke's face. The second
round was rather favorable for Cleary, who
got in a singing counter with his lett on
Burke's cheek. Oleary tapped Burke
gently twice more, and the round closed
with continuous sparring on both sides.
When the men stood up for the third
round Burke's pink and glowing skin
showed in strange contrast to the almost
marble Wilderness Of Cleary's fine face and
physique. Burke's whole aspect was elo-
quent OF vigor and confidence. Yet Cleary
was pale and supple, and looked well.
In this match the New Yorker began to
force the fighting, but Burke impetuously
forced him into the corner and hit him
two rafting blows in the face with his left.
He then parted Oleary's right with his
own right glove and struck the New
Yorker heavily on the neck. Ciesry
staggered and seemed dazed for a moment,
then recovered himself with an effort and
forced Burke desperately TO the opposite
side of the ring. Cleary was breathing
heavily, snd shook with suppressed excite
ment. Burke was perfectly cool and COL
looted and watched calmly for his chance.

up aud helped him to the dressing room,
where he revived 10 a few minutes. Since

with Sullivan, he cultivated the offensive
use of his right hand, which is believed by
many to be the secret of his remarkable
success tonight.
