actually ran into the car. 1t was a
very narrow escape from a horrible

Fifty Rounds Between Lightweights

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May "a
Denny Kelliher, Of Boston, and Joe
Ellingsworth, of Los Angeles, middle
weights, fought fifty rounds at the
Golden Gate Athletic club last night,
for a purse of $1,000. Kelliher was
knocked out in the fiftieth round.
Ellingsworth did most of the leading
throughout the fight. Ellingsworth
drew blood from Kelliher's nose and
mouth in the sixteenth round, and by
jabbing so weakened the Bostonian
that in the 43rd round, he was
knocked through the ropes and in the
47th was assisted to his side by his
second. A short right handler on the
jaw, in the 10th round. sent him to
the floor, and from that time he was
at the mercy of Ellingsworth, who
knocked him down three times before
the fight was declared ended in his
favor.
