GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

NEW YORK, Oct 28.-About 200 sports
from this city and Brooklyn journeyed up
to road house last night near Danbury,
Conn, where they witnessed kid-glove
| fight to a finish between Jack Bates, OF
Youngstown, O., and Joe Daley, of New
York. It was after 1 o'clock this morning
when the men entered the ring Con Nc.
Auliffe, brother of the famous lightweight
champion pugilist, was selected as referee,
and if ever a man had his hands full it was
Con, as he had two wild cats to handle, who,
toward the finish, did nothing but wrestle,
bite, scratch, gouge and choke. 1t was a
sort of go-as- -you-please affair. and at one
time it looked as though the whole 200 were
going to take a hand in the affray, as nearly
the entire assemblage were jostling each
other inside the ropes, which was full "a
foot ring.
STARTED OFF ALL RIGHT.
The men started off in good shape, and
for the first four rounds they fought fairly,
and there were some heavy blows struck.
In fact, it was the severe punishment Daley
received from left hand upper cuts which
induced him to commence his foul fighting.
The fouling commenced about the latter
close of the fifth round everybody was in
the ring pushing, showing and jostling one
another and believing 'foul' at the top of
their voices. The widest kind of excite
ment prevailed while all hands were en-
deavoring to separate the fighters, who had
their teeth fastened in each other like two
bulldogs. Fully five minutes was lost in
trying to restore peace.
In the sixth round, during one of the
cl1nches, DAILY managed to get his thumb
into Bates mouth, and by one of those
pleasant twists managed to increase the size
of it by running it up into the left cheek.
Bates bled freely and first blood was claimed
for and allowed Daley. The men had to be
separated frequently in this round, as they
both fouled all they knew how every time
they came together. At the call of time
Daley evidently did not think things were
evened up, as he followed Bates to his cor
ner and bit piece out of his shoulder.
EVERYTHING WAS ALLOWED.
1t was cold-blooded, but still it was al
lowed, despite all protests. The crowd went
there to see fight to finish and so long as
both men were fouling, the spectators
wanted to see it out, no matter if the fighters
killed each other
The seventh round will long be remem-
bered by all who were present, as it was |
rough-and- tumble affair of the most ap-
proved style, consisting of choking, biting,
kicking, tugging and all kinds of unfair
lighting. Daley, who started all the foul
lighting, got decidedly the worst of it at
MS own peculiar style of pugilism. Daley
inally ran out of the ring to escape his
but he was thrown back into
he ring again by his own friends and told
% take his medicine. He made several
more attempts to turn tail and make his
scape, but each time he was headed off by
he crowd and pushed back into the ring.
The eighth round was of short duration,
S all the fight had been punched out of
Daley, and his only aim seemed to be to get
ut of the ring and as far away
rom the fists of Bates as possible
finally, in his mad effort to escape,
e smashed Con McAuliffe in the face
nd dove ou. through the ropes like an
rrow, and there was nothing else for Nc
luliffe to do but give the victory to Bates,
-hich he did, and then all hands started for
heir homes.
