WHO CAN PUT HER TO SLEEP.
No weight is specified in the latter case.
Two days since, Mrs. Gussie Freeman,
who is well-known character Of the east
ern district, signited her intention of try
ing to earn the money Mrs. Freeman is
better known as Lonely She is about
thirty years of age and works in the Wat
erbury rope works. She is Dig and power
ful and weighs about 100 pounds. Her
hardness with her fists has got her into
lnnumeraole rows and a majority of her
opponents nave been men, whom she has
invariably thrashed. The Leslie woman
accepted the challenge and last night the
match took place. The theatre was
crowded to suffoCatiOn. The reserved
space on the stage was occupied by promi-
nent Brooklyn politicians. Captain Mar
tin Short, of the Fifth precinct, was on
hand with squad Of men. A big delega-
tlon OF Gussie's admirers crowded the gal
Iery. Patsy Lautry seconded Lonely
and Jim Brady, OF Buffalo, did the need
fuI for Hattie. Tom Regan was referee
and Tom Irving held the clock. Hattie
wore black fighting tights, white silk
tunlc and gold medal.
GUSSlE WAS DRESSED IN VIRGIN WHITE.
Her hair was bound in a tight knot and
tied with rope yarn. Time was called at
1880. The lady scrappers walked to the
centre OF the stage, shook hands and came
on guard. Gussie had a high, firm guard
that contrssted favorably with the loose
way that the other woman held her hands.
Inc sparrtng began by Hattie fentnH
with her left and swinging heavily with
her right. Gussle retallated by landing
pretty punch on the others neck with her
left, following instantly, but lightly, with
her right. Sparring for an opening, light
exchanges and a little in-arm fighting
brought the round to close.
Round second opened by Gussie landing
a rib-roaster on the tunic of her antagonist
This rlled the other, who uppercut the
rope spinner on the point of the chin.
BLOOD FOLLOWED THE BLOW.
Gussie then caught Hattie sounding clip
on the ear and was rewarded by a smash
ing blow III the mouth. In return she got in
a blow on the others neck that sounded
all over the theatre and split the tip of her
glove. This blow was followed by one
over the heart that made Hattie gasp again.
LONELY" smiled as she delivered the
punch, but smiled too SOON The Leslie
woman recovered herself and rushed at the
other, swinging her right hand, and as
Gussie's head 1erked over with the force of
the impact the other caught her clsverly,
got her in cnsncery and began to hammer
away at her face in merry fashion. Time
was called at this juncture.
The house by this time had gone mad
with excitement. The politicians on the
stage crowded around the women so closely
that the fighters had barely space to fight.
Silk hats were waved frantically; their
owners yelled themselves hoarse and bets
were made fast and furiously. In the body
of the house
THE UPRoAR AND CONFUSION WEIR TERRIBLE.
The rope-walk contingent in the gallery
had become ugly at the pounding that their
favorite had received, and wanted to get
at anybody or anything in the house.
Trouble seemed imminent.
In the third round both women showed
signs of punishment, Lonely especially

Her long hair had escaped from
its fastenings and swung around her
waist, and altogether, she was far from
lady in appearance. The professional. act
ing on the advice of her second, seemed
anxious TO wind the fight up in this round.
When time was called Hattie rushed mat
ters.
SHE FOUGHT LIKE A DEMON.
Sne swung anu upper cut ana gave malt arm
jabs and straight punches, taking no heed
of the blows showered upon her by the
other. Gussie finally forgot all her science
and rushing at the other, tried to claw her,
overlooking the fact that her nails were
rendered harmless by the gloves. A rough
and tumble fight was about begin when Cap
tain Short interfered and stopped the affair
amid tremendous confusion. The referee,
after being shouted and sworn at, gave the

was that both creatures deserved all the
punishment they received and more too.
