make such advances in civilization that
'ere long the race question would cease as
serious problem. He ridiculed all colo

WITHOUT A SCRATCH.
Cal Mccarthy Whips Warren in
TWenty-One Rounds.
Ii Was Game and Pretty Match but the
Californian Wasn't in 1.-THE Received
Terrible Punishment.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 22.-The fight
tonight at the Olympic club between
Tommy Warren and Cal Mccarthy was a
grand success. 1t was apprehended on &C
count OF the grand jury Indictment against
the principles the match would not come
of, but the state law allows contests with
hve-ounce gloves in regularly chartered
organizations. Hence when Acting Mayor
Clark received the opinion of City At
torney Hunt that the city officials could
not refuse permit to the club,
there was general rejoicing by the
sporting fraternity. Mccarthy and
Warren were instructed by the referee
that decision would be made when it be-
came apparent one or the others chances
to win had passed. The men weighed in
under the lis pound limit. The purse was
81 800, Of which s1,200 goes to the winner
and $500 to the loser. John Duffy was re-
fierce. Haley and Robinson seconded War
rem, and O'Meara and Brown seconded
Mccarthy.
1t was one of the prettiest and gamest
featherweight battles ever seen in the
south, Mccarthy winning in the twenty
first round.
In the first round both men displayed
great cleverness from the start MCCARTHY
had the longer reach and showed up
stronger and both these qualities told all
through the fight. Warren displayed
his usual skill in ducking, but Mccarthy
found way TO stop his lodging
by terrific uppercuts with his left.
Notwithstanding this Warren escaped pun
ishment until in frequently recurring
cllnches he ran counter to McCarthy's
right, which opened cape over mis- eye.
Thus the fight stood up to the tenth round.
and from that time out MCCARTHY was
general enough to keep playing upon the
wounded parts This was easy as Warren
did most OF the rushing, and McCarthy's
longer reach enabled him to counter on the
vulnerable parts
Between the tenth and twentieth rounds
Warren rallied great deal He stopped q
number OF violent upper cuts with his
elbows and found his way to McCarthy's
heart and stomach with his left and swung
his right on his neck. Loss of blood, how
ever, made him weak, and his blows
scarcely moved Mccarthy, who kept War
ren's wound opea and landed often enough
to sting the little Californian 10 madness
and keep him growing weaker all the time.
McCarthy's constant battering finally had
the desired effect. Warren lost science as he
lost strength and rushing madly struck
aimlessly and wore himself out He went
down frequently in the twentieth round
and was nearly knocked out when the gong
sounded at the close of that round When
he came up for the twenty first round the
fight was plainly hopeless. Mccarthy
countered with his right as he rushed in
and Warren went down on all fours. He
tried hard to struggle up before the eight
seconds were called, but fell forward on
his hands and was counted out. MCCARTHY
