A SHORT PRIZE FIGHT.
Ohoyneski Knocks Tooly Out II
Two Rounds.

Ohoyneski Knocks Tooly Out in
i Two Rounds.
MELBOURNE, May GA prize fight
which came Off here yesterday between
Choyneski and Tooley was one Of the
shortest combats ever recorded in the
history Of the ring. The result showed that
Tooley was no match for Choyneski, for the
latter knocked him out in four minutes and
eleven seconds. From the moment the men
entered the ring Choyneski adopted hustling
tactics, and in a short time he drove
Tooley to the ropes When the
men faced each other in the second
round it was further demonstrated that
Choyneski was the superior of Tooley. The
latter was completely overpowered, and
when eleven seconds of the time allotted for
the second round had expired Choyneski
made drive at Tooley and knocked him
completely out. Choyneski, who was the
favorite in the betting at odds Of to 4, re-
ceived no punishment at all.
