ASHLAND, Wis, April Tt is doubt
full if the conceit was ever so quietly
whipped out of man as was the case
with John p. Glow tonight in the six
round battle with Conley. The Ithaca
giant had everything his own way for
the four rounds that ended the battle.
The fight attracted bigger crowd to-
night to the Ashland theater than has
ever before been there at fight. Every
line of railroad running into town
brought delegations of the sporting fra
ternity. The Zenith City people were
crazy in their partisanship for Glow,
and their pockets were lined with
money. which they said they were will
ing to bet on their man. Glow and his
hacker. HAYS. spent the day tramping
about town Dragging about what Glow
would do to Conley. The con-
ditionS of the fight were that
it should be six rounds, Conley
to use four-0unce gloves and Glow two
ounce gloves. After number of good
bouts by two pairs of bantam weights
and an ineX"usable wait of an hour, the
principals stepped upon the stage.
Billy Lynn and SLIM Sullivan were
behind Glow, and Tom Manning and
Danny Needham did their offices for
Conley. Sam Ellis, of st. Paul, con-
Quoted the preliminaries. Charles Ed
ridge was the time-keeper for COnley,
and Frank Hays for Glow. Paddy Nc
Donald was selected as referee without
any wrangling. Billy Lynn, speaking
the best of the fight, and preferred that
Gloves
j. d. Hays, for Conley, said he proposed
to stick by the articles Of agreement.
That ConIey would wear four-ounce
gloves and that Glow could wear the
Smallest permissible by law. Glow used
the small gloves.
THE FIGHT.
Round One-ThiS round was slightly
in favor of Glow, the Duluth man get
ting in two good ones on the Giants
neck and face. Conley forced the battle
and the men frequently cliDched. 1t
was devoid of interest.
Round Two-Clow got in fair blow
on Conley'S face, but it had no effect
other than to induce Conley to force the
battle and punish his man. COnley'S
slugging ability was we'll shown in this
round. Glow made feeble efforts to
reach Conley'S iugular, but invariably
fell short. running against the sledge
hammer blows that were rained quick
and fast upon the Duluth mans face,
head and neck. Glow tapped Conley on
the jaw once. but the ''big I'm" never
fell back an inch. Glow was knocked
down by a clever upper cut and as soon
as he regained his feet COnley pounded
him right and left. Glow began to show
weakness and took his corner quite
groggy.
Round Three onley did some old
time Sullivan work, smashing his adj
VerSary all over the ring. In one of the
attacks Conley hit his man five terrible
blows upon the face, following him
around the entire ring and winding up
with his man in his (Conley's), corner,
where Glow hid his face in his arms
which he threw over the ropes. The
Duluth man made no further effort to
fight and Conley simply stood over his
man and pounded away at the back of
his neck, then under the ropes, until
time was called.
Round FOur-Clow could hardly hob
BILE into the ring when he was called.
His face showed the fearful punish
ment he had received. This round was
similar to the preceding one, complete
victory for Conley, who pounded his
Weak-kneed victim into the same corner
Nnere he worked Oh his lace ana neCk
like a blacksmith at his anvil. Glow
again folded his face in his hands and
finally fell upon the floor and crawled to
his corner in a
VERY GROGGY CONDITION.
When time was called for the fifth
round CLOVIS manager would not let his
man come up, claiming time was called
ahead. This was followed by discus
sion lasting fully four minutes, when
the fight was awarded to Conley. Glow
was badly whipped, and hung onto the
ropes to support his limp body. The
fight was for $3.50 side and rs per cent
of the gate receipts to the winner, and
was the result of negotiations which
have been pending for over year. Con-
ley was carried off on the shoulders of a
crowd, which rushed upon the stage.
Murnane, the hacker of Glow, said after
the fight that Conley had "won in
Cog" and that Killen, whom he brought
out. stood no more show with Conley
than Glow. Murnane announced from
the stage that he was in receipt of a
communication authorizing him to back
Joe LannOn against the winner for
$4,000. j. ID. Hays, Conley's hacker, said
he would cover any forfeit put up.
