All through the week Peall, who was
plainly unwell, was unable TO do himself
Justice. except for brief period on
Tuesday. and consequently Mitchell,
without doing anything sensational,
took the lead at the outset, and, i'm
proving as he went on, scored more than
twice as fast as his rival, so that on Fri
dav night he was actually nearly 1000
points in front at 2,5O1 to 5.6l3.

had been TO the theater on Monday even
inc. The two pugiliStS have for some
some time past been great friends, In
spite of the fact that Mitchell has been
very free IN declaring that he could
easily best Slavin. Mitchell repeated his
boast at the clubhouse, and in time Sla-
vim Joined in the discussion, which be-
came very heated. Slavin at
first treated the matter In a
ocular spirit, but in the end
he lost his temper and pushed Mitchell
away with some degree Of force. ms
seemed 10 rouse the blood of Mitchell,
who made a rush at Slavin, but failed to
hit him. Slavin replied with hard one
ON his assailant'S neck, which fioored

reached for bottle to strike Slavin,

a second time Mitchell was iloored, A
general melee then enSued, Mitchell
using chairs and smashing tables in his

mopped up the floor with the boaster'
and finally threw him out Of the front

tain that the game could not be fin
iShed before midnight, as Peall was still
in good position, and Mitchell wanted

be completed with the game was de-
clared drawn, and Peall, very luckily,
will save his stake, while all bets must
be declared off. The final scores were:

the week Mitchell made "a three-fgure
