DECLARED A DRAW.
Police Stopped Last Nights
Set-to---VaIious Other
Sporting Matters.

ABOUT Two hundred sports gathered in
Odd Fellows Hall. Hoboken, last night
and witnessed a setto of six hotly con-
tested rounds between Sim Collins and
James Smith, both of New York city.
Fifteen rounds were to have been fought,
and it was thought that one of the fight
srs would quit before they were finished,
but the police stopped the contest before
the sixth round.
The encounter had been extensively adj
vertised IN New York, and as q cunse-
quence the crowd was composed mainly
of New Workers. The managers of the
affair were very careful not to advertise
the contest in Hoboken. Fifteen rounds
with four ounce gloves is almost equiya-
lent to a fight to a finish, and it was
rightly suspected that the police would
interfere.
Tho contest was to be for $3.50
. side, and the winner to take
sixty-ive per cent of the gate receipts.
Both of the men had trained hard for the
fight. Sew. Jacobs, a we'll known sport
ing man, was master of ceremonies. Nor
ris Lee was chosen referee. Shortly after
ten o'clock Smith jumped lightly into the
ring, followed by his seconds, Jimmy Car
ROLAND Paddy Lee. C~olhnsfoliowed with
bis seconds, Eddie Gallagher and George
Reynolds. 1t was plain to be seen from
the applause that greeted Collins that he
was the favorite with She crowd.
In the second round Collins had all the
best of 1t. He upper cut Smith terribly
n chased him around the ring. Smith
looked happy when time was called.
Smiths seconds worked hard and had
their man In good condition at the call of
time. Collins again did all the leading
and fighting in this round, although
Smith landed two good body blows.
At the call of time both men spared
warily. Collins was the first to lead. He
fell short, slipped and fell. AT the time
he was falling Smith tapped him lightly
on the chest, but did not follow up his
advantage. Smith kept working his left
arm In a menacing manner and Collins
appeared afraid of It.
In the fourth round Smith landed heav-
lily on Collins nose, drawing first blood.
In the fifth and sixth rounds honors were
even. At the end of the sixth round the
police jumped on the stage and stopped
the fight. There was a howl for a de-
cision and an angry mob instantly sur
rounded the referee. 1t looked as If
there would be q free fight. Detective
Kivlon grabbed one angry sport and
threw him over the rope.
The referee finally declared the match
a draw and the crowd went back to New
York.
