place to quell the disturbance. AS ne neared

THE sparring exhibition given at the Electric
Light hall last evening by Jim Hall, of Aus
tralia and Billy Woods, of Denver attracted
an audience OF about two hundred and fifty men.

time-keeper. and second for all hands, and he
discharged his duties creditably The exhibit
ton opened with a four-round contest between
Davis, of Salt Lake, and Brown, of Ogden
which resulted in favor of the former. This
was followed by fourround go between Jack
Lynott and Martin. This contest was a very
interesting one and ended with the honors on
Lynott's side. Then Richards, 1.-The coming

donned the mits. The coon must have agreed
not to strike blow in order to get his opponent
into the ring, and the affair was simply ridiou-
lous. Hall and Woods then closed the enter
tainment with three-rounc set-to. Halls style
OF fighting is very similar to Dempsey's, but he
is much larger man than the ex-champion He
has long reach, is very active and clear
headed, and his science is marvellous. Woods
is a heavyweight and he made splendid show
ing against the Australian, and the seteto gavS
entire satisfaction
