THE WORLD OF SPORT.
THE RESULT OF THE sPARRrNa
TOURNAMENT LAST EVENING.
The Starters in the Great BROOKLYN
Handicap this Afternoon-Tourn
Sold for Princely 'Sum-Phil Knell,s
Great Twirling Record.

number of the members of the Los
Angeles Athletic club assembled at the
club rooms last evening to witness the
boxing competitions for championship
medals. The classes did not fill as well
as expected and at the next tournament
the events will in all probability be left
open to all amateurs. This arrange
ment will, at least, ensure competition
"a most desirable consummation.
A. Brooks and F. X. Strayhorn con-
tested in the featherweight class for the
gold medal. Last November Brooks
won in this class, but the tables were
turned last night, Strayhorn winning.
He has improved wonderfully under
the instruction of Professor Hergitt,
and last night showed to be quicker and
cleverer than his opponent and at the
same time displayed more Judgment.
In the light weight class, E. Chap
man and j. E. Mclean came together
The former holds the medal from the
last tournament and was regarded as a
sure winner in the contest last evening.
Mclean showed up very much i'm
proved man and it was nip and tuck be-
tween the two young men throughout
the four rounds. The combatants were
applauded at the end of each round. Me-
Lean struck out straight from the
shoulder and if he had acted little
more aggressively might have got the
decision. Chapman was awarded the
medal. He won on his clever leading.
Tom McAleer andJ. J. Long contested
in the middleweight class. This was
considered a gift for McAleer. Long
made better showing, however, than
many expected. McAleer was given the
medal. 1t will take good man to get
away with him.
John Brink trained for the heavy
weight class, but as there was no one
anxious to try conclusions with the
doughty John, this class fell through.
