PETERS WON.
GiveIf the Match on Foul, but He
Had Fahey Whipped.


The match between George Peters.
the Detroit colored pugilist, and Mart
Fahey, of Minneapolis, before the Twin
City Athletic club at Minneapolis last
evening, was RATHER while it lasted,
and more hard hitting was crowded into
six rounds than has heen seen in any
three previous contests put together.
Peters proved to be whirlwind He
is active. has good knowledge of ring
tactics and is clever boxer, be-
sides being hard punish
er. FaEey was not in it
at any time from start to finish. While
he stood punishment well, and made
some good stops, he did not get in any
effective blows on Peters. He sent the
colOred man to the floor once, but it was
half-slip down. His best blow deliy-
cred was Scratch-a left-hand swing,
which turned Peters around like a top.
but did not floor him. After the third
round lie acted as if he wanted to foul
to get out of the ring, and threw Peters
to the floor. In the seventh round
he caught Peters around the BODY
in a clinch, and lifting him
threw him to the floor hard The foul
was plainly intentional, and Peters was
declared tide winner.
The men appeared in the ring at $50
o'clock. The match was made at catch
weights, but each claimed to weigh
16O pounds. Both looked heavier, Fa-
hey especially, as he is over six feet
tall, standing at least an inch higher
than the colored man. Peters started
the ball rolling with a body blow.
After Art = a few exchanges, Peters
made vicious rush and landed hard
with both hands several times on
Faley's face and body. Fahey got in a
counter Oh the face, however, which
sent Peters to the floor. although it was
not square Touchdown. Peters won
first blood and the round with smash
on Fahey's cheek. The second round
was slower. Peters led and made some
terrific swings which Fahey managed
to avoid with good deal of cleverness.
In the first half of the third Peters
knocked Fahey down with his left,
and then ran against HIM as he
rose. sending him to the floor again.
Peters would not go to his corner when
the requisite ten seconds were being
counted. Mehan, Faheys second,
rushed out and helped his man to his
corner. Peters at this ran up and
started in at Fahey again; then fol-
lowed a cliuch, and Fahey threw Pet
erS, falling on him and hugging him.
The referee had trouble in separating
the men, and as both had committed
fouls, allowed the contest to go on,
In the fourth round both men were
more cautious, and no effective work
was done. In the start-off of the fifth
Fahey got in swinging blow with his
left on Peters head that turned the
colored man around, and evidently
dazed him slightly. Peters rushed again
and got i'll three straight-arm blows in
succession OIL Fahey's chin. The
latter half OF the round was
tame. The sixth was very lively.
Both men swung with all their
might, but failed to land hard, and not
much damage was done. Honors were
about even. At the beginning of the
seventh the men clinched, and Fahey
lifted Peters from the floor and threw
him heavily. The referee, Hank Seelye,
very justly declared foul and gave the
match to Peters. The purse was $500,
$500 going to the winner. Although the
contest ended in disagreeable way,
the club members were we'll satisfied
