heferee Jere Dunn last night gave his ON
cial decision in the Slavin- n-Kilrain glove fight
ana good deal OF a document IL Ia. In point o.
length The author has evidently tried tc
cover all the questions that have arisen since
the unsatisfactory termination OF the struggle
| and has doubtless exercised his best judgment
He has even Conc 70 far as to admit that he
was wrong. and that is saying o great deal
Bets 20 on tho decision. which Is as follows:
Tho decision in the slavin- Kilrain sparrina
exhibition on the night OF Juno 1G involves a
nice point The disarranRement OF the o!ec-
trio clock and eong necsssitated the use Of a
watch and in order that the principals and
myself couldn't mistake the signal for the be-
ginning and end ng OF round. gave Mr.,
Kelly tthe mekcepcrl an improvised hammer
to strike the gong with. which sound could not
be mistaken. And l remember agreeing with
MIR. Kelly that no should use the hammer on
oil occasions. even at tho expiration OF the
ton seconds.
But OF course 1 expected him to count each
second loud enough for tho principals to hear.
so that tho man whom he as counting against
would know WHOM to start to riso. providing he
wanted TO take the full benefit OF the time.
This was not done. and am as much to blame
as Mr.. Kelly for not calling his attention to 1t.
but did not notice tho omission. which
amounts to serious irregularity. So much
for my explanation OF the cause.
Now for tho facts. l noticed. In tho third
round. that Slavin inclined to strike his oppo.
pent before the latter was sqnHrelv on his feet.
and thus lay himsel! liable to what l consider
tho most serious fou! that can lie committed.
and one that would certainly allow. even
though the man so fonlel was virtually beaten
at the time. II Is we'll known that am op-
posed to granting claim OF foul. and fearing
that Slavin's rushing style OF sparr!nG would
jeopardize his chances OF victory. which
was already In sight. l took particular
caro- to prevent any such foul for II
ono had occurred. and Savin had been
disqualified on that account. nnt nt that sago
OF tho exhibition 1t might bo said that ] acted
prejudicial to Slavin on account OF his being
foreigner. Therefore. whom kilrain went down
in tho ninth round had slavtn 10 reti,e
good distance and remained with him With
my BACK partly 10 hilra'n so that did not see
whether Kilrain was on his feet or not when
gong ordered slavln to his corner. thinking it
was tho end Of the round and whom
