tended to by CHARLEY Mitchell Ed God
dard and Pony" Moore.
The gloves were four-ounce red leather
mittens of the finest quality. Slayin and
Kilrain shook hands IL the center of the
ring exactly at-1l:23 p. m, and then again
withdrew to their corners. Time was
called moment later and the contest
went on.
Round L Slaviu assumed the offensive
and Tor time had the best oft. He COM
menced with terrible right handed
pounding on kilrain's ribs and just below
the heart, and in the succeeding rounds
repeated those tactics till Jake was at his
mercy. kllrain, though weakened by this
RIB roasting, made grand rally and gave
Slavln, right and left, more than he took.
Clinch on clinch followed. Jake seeming
to get the best Of the long range fighting.
Finally, Kilrain got good rib roaster on
Australian and the round ended In favor
OF Kilrain
Round 2. Slavin was first on deck, and
as lively as fighting chicken. The round
had hardly commenced when the men
cllnched and the Australian again pound
ed away at half range, reaching kllrain,s
sore place under his heart at least half
dozen times. Kilrain rallied and gave
Slavin all he could do for moment or so,
then another clinch followed and Slavin
redoubled his attack on Jake's sore ribs,
the blows being positively sickeningly
heavy. When the men were separated
Jake assumed the offensive in most GAL
liant style. He banged right and left
heavily on Slayin's head, and repeated the
dose amid roar of cheers. Another
clinch was next in order, more rib roasting
and then Jake landed a right-hander on
Slavln's neck, causing the Australian to
whirl half around Jake followed this up
with two terrific right and left facers and
following these up nearly Knocked Slavln
over the ropes. This round ended all In
Jake's favor
Round g Slavin received a right and
left facer from Jake Slavin replied with
pretty little slap on Jake's nose. The
Baltimorean went for his opponent again
and hammered him to the ropes; but this
seemed to be the end of Jake's strength,
for soon after Slavin shot out his right
the left ear. The Baltimorean went down
full length almost like log. Dazed and
almost helpless, his eyes almost closed,
but encouraged by the cheers Of the audi
ence, he managed to stagger to his feet;
but it was evident his strength was gone.
lie made brave attack, clinched, and IN
break-away received another terrible
knock-down blow which actually rolled
him TO the stage. Slowly, painfully and
half insensible, Jake just managed to
stagger TO his knees and the gong saved
him. Betting was now 100 to J on Slavln,
with no takers It was evident that these
two terrible blows had done their work.
Jake was in great distress, but his skillful
seconds braced him up so that when time
was called he was able to respond IN half
silly manner.
Round 4 The men had scarcely met
when down went poor Jake. He was evil
IDENTIFY out of it, and Slavin hit him at will
The blood was pouring from Jake's nose,
which was said to be broken, and this,
combined with the water on both mems
bodies made them pretty horrible looking
objects. Four times did Jake go to grass
in this round, but four times he rallied
and faced his man gamely. But there was
no force in his blows, while Slavin was
full of strength and confidence. Right
and left handlers were showered upon the
Baltimore boy, whose one chance of stay
ing out the ten rounds was by clinching,
and IN so doing he was sure to be met with
fearful rib-roasting punishment, for which
the Australian seemed to be so adept. The
round ended with Jake hardly able to
ward off a single one of Slavin's blows.
All hope for Jake seemed to be gone
After that Slavin had only to wait for
good chance to get in the knock out blow.
Kilrain landed on Slavin's head repeated
ly, but the blows had no force. In the
fifth round Kilrain was sent to grass and
nearly to sleep with a terrible right
to have picked up little and landed
neat upper cut beneath Slavin's jaw.
Jake, however, seemed almost helpless,
but fought gamely and pluckily to last
out the ten rounds.
He was little more than chopping
block for the Australian. He had simply
taken all the punishment showered upon
him without being able to do more than
gallantly, though feebly, retaliate with
some light taps
When the seventh round opened the
blood literally poured down Jake's face
and streaked his limbs. Some good ex-
changes were given, however, Jake land
ing once pretty heavily, but that seemed
to be the final effort, which only made
most as weak as child.
Round g. Jake went in for the saving
clinch and landed his left on Slavin's head,
but there was no force in the blow. Slavin,
in the clinch which followed, almost stove
in Jake's ribs Kilrain stood it pluckily,
evidently resolved not to give in until
knocked senseless
Round g. Jake managed to come to the
scratch in pretty good shape, but after
Slavin had landed upon him once or twice,
he was again a mass of blood. Jake
however, managed to get in two good
blows on Slavin's head though there was
little force in them. Slavin, on the other
hand, was hitting as hard at ever. Finally, |
he hit Jake blow on the neck and he |
went down as if shot.
Still game, Jake slowly and painfully |
rose, and, as the gong sounded, had to be |
carried to his corner, and Jere Dunn gave |
the fight to Slayin, who forthwith stepped |
over to his daZed opponents corner shook |
hands with him, and thus did Kilrain |
meet his last Waterloo, and |
pass into the ranks of second-class men. |
The audience hissed the referees decision, |
but that did not effect Mr. Dunn in the |
least. He felt sure Jake was beaten and |
so ruled, in spite of all protest.
