A Splendid Fight.
About 1000 people last night witnessed
| the eight-round glove contest at the Leland
| rink, Minneapolis, between Warren of
Louisville andsCollins of Pittsburg for the
feather weight championship of the world,
title which Warren had won in the
lagest fight in the world. and which he
still maintains. The match was one of the
| most exciting and interesting that has ever
taken place in Minnesota. Both men dis
played good science and staying qualities,
and the contest was sufficiently close
to awaken a great deal of enthusiasm
among the spectators. Warren clearly had
the best of it all through, his playing the
better generally and doing the most execu-
tlon. His tactics are something of the
Dempsey order and he took things coolly,
| advoiding punishment, watching his oppor-
tunity and leaving few openings. Collins
was full of vim and pluck, and his bantam
| like activity was wonderful. He made a
very good showing and stood to his work in
a way that
WON HIM MANY FRIENDS.
At the close of the last round there was,
of course, the usual eagerneSs for another
| round, but this was unnecessary to obtain a
decision. The referees decision was ger
orally satisfactory. Marsh Byers, Collins
backer, acknowledging it's justice. Collins,
he claims, was not properly trained,
and he wants to match him
against Warren for a ten-round match.
Jerry Murphy of Minneapolis also wants
to meet Warren. Warren agrees to accept
both offers and is willing to meet Collins
in three weeks and Murphy in six weeks. if
the latter will reduce his weight to one
hundred and twenty-five pounds. Four
ounce gloves were used in last nights con-
test and neither man was much punished.
AT 9 o'clock Jasper johnson, master of
ceremonies. announced a fve-round set-to
between the McGOughn brothers of st.
Paul. The kids, who have given several
exhibitions in the city, were well received,
and their clever boxing called forth con-
siderable applause. At the conclusion of
their exhibition someone threw silver dol
lar on the stage and thisiWas the signal for
a perfect shower of silver in quarters and
halves that were thrown from all directions.
1t was next announced that the set-to be-
tween Cardiff and Donaldson would not
take place owing to the indsposition of the
former. Instead, Patsey Mellin and Prof.
Hadley Of st. Paul. gave three-round set
to, in which Mellin out-sparred his dusky
antagonist. The third round was quite
lively, although there was no hard hitting.
THE EVENT OF THE EVENING
was called shortly before 10 o'clock, when
the master OF ceremonies announced that
Hank Seely had been agreed upon as ref
cree. Collins was the first to appear, at
tended by Jerry Murphy. Warren soon
followed with Patsey Cardiff as his attend
ant Prof. Donaldson and Mark Meyers
officiated as timekeepers. The principals
were next introduced to the audience, and
were the recipients of an equal amount of
applause. Warren made the best impress
sion. He looked to be in the pink of con-
dition, his arms and legs showing good
muscular development. He did not
appear to have an ounce of
superfluous flesh on his body. Collins on
the contrary seemed to show a need of
training, although his staying powers after
wards proved that his appearance some
what beIied him.
BY ROUNDS.
First Round-At the call Of 'time" Collins
took the initiative and made lunge which
Warren easily avoided. Cautious sparring
followed, when Warren got in a hard left
handler on Collins ribs that called forth fresh
applause. Collins made one or two inefect-
ual rushes which Warren neatly ducked.
Second Round--Warren after some pre-
1mlnary sparr1ng got in swinging clip that
nearly took Collins Off his feet Then fol-
lowed some clever short arm work in which
the honors were nearly even. This round
was not eventful and at its close a little
crimson at the mouth on Collins showed that
Warren had got the ''f1rst blood!''
Third Round-Ths round was much like
the prec ceding. Warren took things cooly.
and Collins attempted considerable rushing.
The latter generally fell short at long range,
and evidently thought he must force the
fight. At the close, however, Warren made
rush which drove Collins to his corner
where he nearly fell over chair.
Fourth Round-Collins caught Warren
heavy one in the breast, but 1t was too high
to be effective. Warren retaliated with short
sharp face blows. At the close Warren
slipped and fell. but many in the audience
gave Collins credit for knock-down.
Fifth Round-This was characterized by
quick sharp work. Warren used his right in
lively style, and the superiority OF his fight
ing tactics became apparent.
Sixth Round-Collins got in q terrific smash,
which Warren ducked as usual, retaliating
with savage upper cut with his left. He
swung his right into Collins face half
dozen times, Collins returning the compli-
ments with blows which seemed to lack force.
At the finish Warren got in hard 'un in the
ribs.
Seventh Round-Collins danced up to the
center briskly. After sparring for an open
lug, warren plaIlteu d H0aVy DiOW IN Cne plC
of the stomach. At this there were numer-
Gus cries Of ''foul,' and Murphy, Collins
second rushed between the men. The referee
refused to allow the claim, and the fight
went on.
Eighth and Last Round-This proved the
hottest Of the match. Collins started in with
a rush and the men fought at close quarters
for the first half. Warren tried several body
blows, which Collins managed to stop. War
ren had the best of the round, as usual, but
Collins took his medicine manfully, and it
was give and take until time was calle1.
There was a unanimous call for
but Col. Chase mounted the stage
and refused to allow the contest to go further.
The referee in giving the match to Warren
said: ''You can see that neither man is
badly worsted. but as the police refuse
another round give it as my decision that
Warren has had the best of it and therefore
wins the match. There were mingled cheers
and Kisses from the crowd at this, although
the majority were satisfied with the decision.
