TWENTY-TRREB BLOODY ROUNDS,
Gibbons Knocks Out Mike Cushingin Kid
Glove Fight.

NEW YORK, Dec 1S.-The much talked
of kid glove fight to finish between Mike
Cushing and Austin Gibbons took place
early this morning near near Stamford,
Conn. Three hundred persons witnessed
the contest, prominent among whom was
John l.. Sullivan. Cushing was so conf
dent of doing mis- man in a punch that he
filed in with wine up to within an hour or
two of the fight. 1t proved costly eXper-
iment, as poor Gushing got pounded All
over the ring. As soon as Gushing dis
covered his mistake, he tried 70 lose the
fight through a foul, but Dominick Nc
Csffrey, who refereed the fight, would not
allow any of the fouls.
The first twenty rounds were pretty
evenly fought, both men realizing they
had no easy task TO perform. In the
eighteenth round Gibbons played on Cush-
iHg's bloody left eye, which he had severe
ly damaged previously, and the latter re-
taliated by butting his opponent in the
face dozen or more times.
The twenty-second round was the most
exciting OF the fight Gibbons forced
Cushing to the ropes in the latter's corner
and held him there with one hand while
he leaned over the ropes and smashed Billy
Murray and Cal Mccarthy with the other.
Gibbons brother Jim came to the rescue
and there was some lively punching done
on the outside for few seconds. Gushing
was too far gone TO take advantage of his
opponent. Gibbons did ali the fighting
in the tweuty-third round, and took par
ticulsr delight in landing on Mixes dam
aged eye, and had him covered with blood.
The tweuty-fourth and last round was OF
short duration. Gibbons knocked Cush-
ing down twice, but each time Mike re-
covered before the ten seconds were up.
The third time he knocked him down,
however, finished the fight, rs he put him
out on swinging right handler in the pit
of the stomach. This was Gibbons ninth
battle and he has yet 10 meet his frs,
defeat
