St. Paul daily globe., 1888-11-28


arrived here from the East few weeks
ago he weighed 1856 pounds, and it has
only been by severe course of train
ing that his weight was reduced to the
required standard. The betting before
the fight was not very heavy and what
odds were offered were generally in IA
vor of Warren. The crowd began to
gather at the club rooms long before the
h, ur set for the fight, and by the time the
two pugilists entered the ring there
were probably a thousand persons
present. Hiram Cook, of this city, was
referee. The contestants entered the
ring together, and were given an
enthusiastic reception.
Time was called at 9:15. Warren
opened the round by pushing Havelin
to the floor. The latter quickly regained
his feet, and an interchange of light
blows followed. Warren had the best
of the round thrOughOut,and succeeded
in getting in several good blows,
On the beginning OF the second round
Warren forced the lighting and planted
several telling blows on Hayelin's face.
Red spots appeared at once on the lat
ter's eyes and forehead. Several
clinches followed. with
SOME SHARP IN-FIGHTING.
In the third round Warren again
forced the fighting and drove Havelin
around the ring, raining blows on his
head. Bavelin got in several blows
which did not seem to worry Warren
much.
The fourth round opened with the
sharpest kind of fighting, which was
kept up until the close. Warren led
with one hand after the other and kept
Havelin moving all around the ring.
He also succeeded in starting blood
freely from Havelin's nose, and by the
time the round closed Havelin's face
and body were covered with blood.
Havelin was knocked down twice in
this round by terrific blows OH the
head.
'The next two rounds were repetitions
of the former. Warren followed up ev-
cry advantage he gained and made
Hayelin stagger under his blows. 1t
was plain that the latter was getting
groggy and he offered but little resist
ance. Blood continued to flow from his
nose and also from cut under his eye.
In the seventh round, however, Have
lin appeared to grow fresher. In the
eighth he caught Warren two ugly
blows on the neck. He also began to
try for Warren's wind, but gained very
little advantage.
The fight progressed with varying
success and Haveiin appeared during
the next few rounds to be recovering.
He struck savagely at Warren, but gen.
orally fell short, as the latter saved
himself by jumping away quickly. In
the thirteenth round the men clinched
and HaYelin was thrown roughly to the
floor.
Havelin did but little in the next few
rounds. Warren continued to have the
best of the fight. and whenever an OPEN
ing occurred he would send-in
HARD ONE ON HAVELIN'S HEAD.
In the eighteenth round Havelin was
knocked against the ropes, and clinch
followed. Warren threw Havelin
heavily to the floor. Loud cries of
.'foul' were heard. but the claim was
not allowed.
In the nineteenth round Havelin led
out savagely three times and each time
caught Warren we'll on the chin or in
the eye, which caused blood to flow.
The last few rounds of the fight were
the most brutal ever seen in this city.
1t was evident to every one that Have
lin had no possible chance of winning.
LII tIic tWClIty 81 IOuiIu uC was
knocked down twice. and after that he
was hardly able to strike a blow. War
rem was apparently almost as fresh as
in the beginning of the fight. and a
swollen lip was the only Disagreement
to be seen upon him. Havelin, ON the
contrary, presented most pitiable ap-
pearance, his lip and eyes terribly swol-
len and blood covering every part of his
face and the front part of his body.
In the twenty-second round he was
knocked down once, and in the next
round five times.
In the twenty-fourth round he was
hardly able to stand, and Warren sent
him to the floor six times. He came for
ward gamely for the twenty-ffth. but
was hardly upon his feet before Warren
sent him under the ropes. To the sur
prise of every one, he again stood up,
only to be knocked under the ropes a
second time. This time, also, re made
an attempt to rise, but was only. upon
his knees when time was called, and the
referee awarded the fight to Warren,
