1t was few minutes past o'clock when
the Black PEARL and Chocolate Blnney
made their appearance. The latter was
about Zen pounds heavier man than his
opponent lie was unable to come 10 the
weight agreed upon, namely 154 pounds.
Both were IN the pink OF condition and
looked as il they meant strictly business.
THE sLOGGERs FACE EACH OTHER.
When they faced each other il was noticed
that Binney had not only the advantage in
height and weight over his opponent. but he
also handicapped him considerably in the
length OF reach of arms. Billy Smith and
Sam Fitzpatrick looked after Binney's in
terests, while the Pearl was cared for by
his trainer and an assistant.
The first round was a hot one. The Pearl
stepped up TO the center Of the ring chewing
gum. He Looked very confident and after q
few seconds maneuvering dashed ct Binney,
and the fistic war began. 1t was a genuine
hammer and tongs slog, with the Pearl in
the lead. He smashed Binney in the mouth
and neck two or three times, the effect Of
which completely dazed the chocolate fighter

twice, and was so far gone on re2sining his

Binney was dOwned twice, and the last time
he saved his hash by the timely sound OF
the gong coming to his assistance.
FORCED THE PACE.
In the third round the Pearl took the ag-
gresslye part and forced the pace. Binney
seemed puzzled at his antagonists style of
fighting. and made no effort to strike back.
He WAS contented to hold his ground and by
ducking and guarding the blows showered
upon him he hoped to tire his powerful OPP
ponent OUT. Toward the end OF the round
he caught the Pearl stiff uppercut on the
mouth.
The betting at this was three to one on the
Pearl. 1t looked as If Binney wasn't In It,
During the fourth round the Pearl made
desperate attempts TO drop his man by a
right on the jaw. Binney being pretty
