II took six rounds for Johnny Moran
to demonstrate his superiority over Jack
Mckenna when they met in the ring OF a
private club last night for trophy valued
at $50. Up To the finish their work had
not been very exciting. Each had been
waiting for the other to lead with the re-
suit that neither had done much of any
thing, except few blows occasionally and
then stand off and measure the "other
fellow" again.
In Mckenna's corner were John Il. Sui.
Ivan, the welter weight, Frank Lannon and
Jimmy McCurdy, Moran's interests were
looked after by Jimmy Murray The men
were matched for ten rounds, the man
having the best of it at the end of that
time 10 win. Trere could be no draw.
After five rounds of sparring, which was
more in the nature OF sizing the opponent
sent their men in to finish and they did.
They came together with clash. Moran
swung his left and Mckenna got il right
on the side of the jaw. Down he went,
but was up again just as the timekeeper
was counting the fatal tenth second
Moran was cool and clever and went in to
finish it. He forced Mckenna into the
corner, where the big gloves played a lively
tattoo, and then McKenna went down
again; this time for good, and when the
ten seconds was counted he WIS not in it
aud Moran was declared the winner.
and Boyle put the pillows on for four
rounds in which they mixed them up live
ly from the start and worked the audience
mp 10 fever heat IL was a pretty four
round 20 in which Boyle showed himself
the sitter hitter because of his superior
weight, but Reardon more than evened IL
up by his cleverness, and in the eyes of the
spectators had the Best of il on the whole
although as n matter of fact there was lit
tie choice.
Joe Henricques of this city and Jack
Flatley of Pawtucket also went in for four
rounds. Ii was of the rugged order from
the start, in which Flatley had the advan-
tage of considerable weight, but Hen
ricques was the cleverer. Flatley got a
little rough as the boxing progressed and
i'm clinch forced Joe to the ropes in n
couple of clinches. The latter started to
take the gloves off, but was prevailed upon
to 90 on, but when the thing was repeated
in the third round Referee Jesse Brown
assisted him 10 pull off the pillows and the
bout was stopped.
