NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 22.-The fght
.o-night at the Olympic club between
Tommy Warren and Cal Mccarthy was {
grand success Nearly 1000 persons
filled the handsomely appointed arena
Warren and Mccarthy are two of the
foremost men in their class. 1t was ap
pretended that on account o.
the grand jury Indictment agains
the principals the match would
not come off, but the Olympic
club is secure in Its quarterly boxing
match, inasmuch as the state law allows
contests with tive-ounce gloves i'll reg
ular chartered organizations.
Hence, when Acting Mayor Clark re
ceived the opinion of the city attorney
that the city officials could not refuse
the permit to the club, there was gen
eral rejoicing by the sporting fraternity
The Olympic managers appreciate the
fact that they enjoy the confidence OF
the state and city officials, and conse-
quently they were more cautious than
ever with to-night's entertainment.
4 New Feature.
Mccarthy and Warren were instruct
Il
be made when it became apparent that
one or the others chances had passed.
Mccarthy tanned for this match at Car
rOllton, La, and Warren trained at
Bay st. Louis, Miss. Both men
weighed in at the club rooms at 3
O'Clock this afternoon under the 11S
pound limit. The purse for which
they met was $780, of which 81, 200
goes TO the winner and $500 to the loser.
John Dutfey was referee. John Dixon,
master OF ceremonies, made speech,
saying the contest about to take place
was not a prize fight, but con-
test for points. Haley and Rob-
inson seconded Warren, and O'Meare
battle was one of the prettiest and
gamiest featherweight battles ever seen
In the South. Promptly at 8 p. m. the
gong sounded for the first round Both
men displayed great cleverness from the
start. Mccarthy had the longer reach,
and showed up stronger, and both of
these qualities told all through the fight.
Warren displayed his usual wonderful
skill in duckiEg, but Mccarthy finally
found way to stop the lodging by
Terrific Upper-Cuts
with his lett. Notwithstanding this,
Warren found means TO escape punish
ment until, in the frequently recurring
cllnches, he ran counter to McCarthy'S
clever left and opened gap over his
eye. Mccarthy also drew blood from
Warren's mouth and nose. 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 enough, as Warren did most of the
fc( hty1, oh,
enabled him t"counter on the vulnera-
bic parts. Detween the tenth and
twentieth rounds Warren rallied great
deal. He stopped number of vicious
upper cuts with his elbow, and
found the way to McCarthy'S heart
and stomach with his left and swung
his right on his neck. Loss of blood,
however, made him weak, and his blows
scarcely moved Mccarthy. who kept
Warren's wounds open and landed often
enough to sting the little Californian to
madness and keep MIN growing weaker
ali the time.
McCarthy's constant battering finally
had the desired effect. Warren lost
his science as he lost his strength, and,
rushing madly, struck aimleSsly and
wore himself out. He went down
frequently in the twentieth round,
as often from pushes as from punches,
and he was nearly out when the gong
signaled the close of that round.
When he came up for the twenty-first
round the fight was plainly hopeless.
Mccarthy countered with right and left
as he rushed in and Warren went down
on all fours. He tried hard to struggle
up before eight seconds were called,
but fell forward on his hands and was
counted out. Mccarthy escaped with
out a scratch.
