SAN FRANCISCO, November 27.-The
feather weights, Jack Havlin and Tommy
Warren, met at the rooms of the Cali.
fornia Athletic Club tonight and fought
for purse of 1000. According to stip-
ulations the men entered the ring at lis
pounds; both men appeared in
excellent condition. When Havlin
arrived here from the East few
weeks ago he weighed 1876 pounds
and it has only been by severe training
that his weight was reduced to the re-
quired standard. Gro vds began to gather
at the club rooms tonight long before
the hour set for the fight, and by the
time the two pugilists entered the ring
there were one thousand persons present.
Hiram Cook, of this city, was referee.
THEY ENTER THE RING,
The contestants entered the ring to-
gether and were given an enthusiastic
reception. Time was called at 9:15.
Warren opened the round by pushing
Havlin to the floor. The latter quickly
regained his feet and an interchange OF
light blows followed. Warren had the
best of the round.
At the beginning of the second round
Warren forced the fighting and planted
several telling blows on Havlin's face.
Red spots appeared at once on the lat
ter's eyes and forehead.
In the third round he drove Havlin
around the ring at lively pace, raining
blows upon the latter's head, some OF
which we're returned.
FIRST BLOOD.
The fourth round opened with the
sharpest kind of fighting. Warren led
with one hand after the other and kept
Havlin moving all around the ring
starting copious flow of blood from
Havlin's nose, and by the time The round
closed, Havlin's face and body were
coated with blood. Havlin was knocked
down twice this round by. terrific blows
on the head.
The next two rounds were but repeti-
tions of the preceding, and Havlin ap-
peared to be getting groggy, but fresh
ened in the seventh.
HAvLN's PITIABLE APPEARANCE.
Up to the twentieth round there were
but few knock-downs, but Warren
pounded Havlin so severely all the time
that the latter presented most pitiable
appearance. His eyes, nose and lips
were terribly swollen and every
blood. In fact the blood was
his face or chest through which the
few rounds he was unable to strike a
hi v-h
at the beginning of the contest, and his
swollen lips were the only oisfgurement
to be seen about him.
GOOD STAYING QUALITIES.
In the twenty-third round Havlin was
knocked down five times, but notwith-
standing his weakness he rose to his
feet quickly every time.
In the twenty-fourth round he was
sent to the floor six times. Warren
forced him all over the ring, and as soon
as he would rise to his feet would knock
him down again. Havlin's gameness
was wonderful he would not wait to
take advantage of the ten seconds al
lowed him, but would rise promptly after
every fall.
GAME TO THE LAST.
When time was called for the twenty
fifth round Havlin looked as if he had
been butchered and number of specta-
tors called to him to give up the fight.
He had determined, however. to stand
the punishment as long as possible, and
stepped to the center of the ring only to
be forced against the ropes and received
staggering blow in the face, which sent
him to the floor. This time he rose
barely within the required time and was
hardly upon his feet when Warren struck
him again and he fell face down.
ward across the lower ropes.
Even this time he attempted to rise and
was upon his knees when the timekeep-
ers announced the expiration of the ten
seconds.
Amid intense excitement Referee
Hiram Cook announced that Warren
was the winner of the fight, and Havlin
was carried to his corner by his seconds.
