SAN Francisco, Sept. 23-'rho hgnt to-
night between Johnnie Herget, known as
"Young Mitchell" Of California. the rep
ressntatve middleweight pugilist and
'Rsddy" Gallagher, a Denverite. attracted
moro interest here than any similar event
which has taken place in this city since the
Corbstt-Jackson contest. The fight was
for a 5000 purse, of which $750 goes to
ths loser. Betting was brisk and from
odds of 100 to 70 on Mitchell 1t
veered to nearly even money before
the tight began. Mitchslps seconds were
Jack Dempsey and Sam titzpstrlck;;
jimmie jimmie Carroll. Peter Jackson was the
referee. Both men were in good condition.
The battle opened at 1853 p. m. with Gala
CHER feinting for an opening and Mitchell
breaking ground. Gallagher got two hot
lofts in the wind and one in the eye.

marked by rushing by Gallagher. From
the third to the sixth rounds tho tactics
were the Same. Gallagher's long loft
position near the middle OF the ring,
while Mitchell played around him, taking
every opening that presented, but in duck
ing almost invariably catching the terrible

fourth round Gallneher's eye was
badly swollen from right
handler. Mitchell began playing
for the ribs and scored twice effectively,
hut. Gallagher made vicious drives for
Mitchell's chin and kept him from too fre-
quent repetition. The sixth was marked
by hurricane fighting. Gallagher scored
straight lefts on Mitchell's chin, but they
lacked shade of knockout effect. Mitchell
also scored two hard ones on Reddy'a
jaw and the olose of the seventh found Gal
laghe lacking steam. From the eighth to
tho end Of the twelfth honors were about
even. Both men now exchanged blows for
the muzzle and Gallaghsr's injured optic
was bleeding freely from frequent left hand
visitations. In the thirteenth Gallagher

straight lefts under Mitchell's chin. Mitch
