blows on Mullins face a second after the
men faced each other. 1t came Mullins

over the ring. but lacked the strength to
finish him. Easy sparring followed and
Mulin again landed q swinging right

straight lefts, and was the fresher when the
gong sounded.
Ninth round-Muilin began rushing inn
mediately and landed hard right-hand
blow on Bogan's face. The latter then
assumed the offensive, but every lead he
made was stopped. A body blow sent him
to the floor, and he waited his ten seconds to
arise. clinch followed, and at the break
Mullin got in another strong right-hand
uppercut.

blows all over his head and neck. A swing
ing left-hander 1oored Began. He stag

he could last.
Thirteenth round-Bogan. in desperation
rallied and made a pretense of fighting,
but he was defeated man. Mullin went
in to eud the contest. He fought him

After being carried to his corner and
thoroughly sponged off by his seconds.
Began recovered sufficiently to walk to his
dressingroom, supported by his brother,
one of his seconds There he was rubbed
and bathed with alcohol and in q few mo-
ments was seemingly as bright as could be.
When asked by PosT-INTELLIGENcER re-
porter how he felt he said he was hurt
more mentally than physically, owing to
the poor showing he made. He said he
was never so weak in his life and could
not understand why the blows he landed
didn't have more telling effect. "l'l feel
just as good as ever after q good nights
Sleep" concluded Began as the reporter
left him.
A visit to the victor's dressingroom
found Mullin surrounded by his seconds
and friends who were loud In their demon
STATIONS of hilarity over the outcome OF
the fight. Mullin was suffering intense
pain from sprained hands and wrists, and
with the exception of his not showing
signs of punishment, one would have
thought he was the vanquished rather
than the victor. Paddy Smith. one of
Mullins seconds. was very happy, but re-
preached his man for not showing more
generalship. thereby finishing his antago-
mist in the first three or four rounds.
Harry Mullin, the winner of the contest.
is known as the amateur champion light
weight pugilist of the Golden Gate Ath-
letic club. He has never before engaged in
a finish professional fight. He stands FIVE
feet ten inches an height, and weighed 135
pounds when he stepped in the ring last
night. From his slight appearance one
would consider him anything but a prize
fighter. but the club members who saw
how easily he "jabbed" Began out last
night will know tina: there is going to be
fight on hand if he gets in any more con-
tests before the club.
Charlie Began was in his first profess
sional finish fight last night also. He has
good record in amateur circles. He also
halls from San Francisco. Began is a hard
hitter, and if he had landed successfully
on Mullins neck. might have won the
fight His height and reach were against
him, however, as he is an inch and half
shorter than Muliin, although his weight
is about the same. Began is game young
fighter, and didn't show any signs of quit
ting until he was thoroughly knocked out.
