Billy Plimmer Defeats Spider" Kelly
for the Bantam Championship.

CoNEY ISLAND, n. ", May 1o.--Billy
Plimmer, the Englishman, knocked out
Tommy Kelly. the Harlem Spider" in
ten rounds last night. The battle was for
$1,000 purse and the l10-pound cham
pionship.
Their handling was, perhaps, as ad-
mirable as any two men ever had in this
part of the country. Brooklyn Jimmy
Carroll and Jack Quinn had Kelly, ami
Charlie Norton and Bennie Murphy fixed
Plimmer. The work OF these seconds was
enough TO demand the respect OF every
body present. Kelly was bleeding fast
from the nose and mouth by Plimmer's
right-handers after the fourth round, but
his handler rubbed him so carefully that
every time he came out he looked like a
new man.
At the start Kelly was the favorite In
the betting at 100 TO 80. Some bets of 100
20 IS were made. After the third round
things changed. Billy Oliver, Kelly's
hacker, made a tour OF the house Offering

Plimmer after him In a way that showed

getting.

victory for Chace After a Hard-fought

The finals in the interscholastic tennis
tournament at Harvard were played yes
terday afternoon, the contestants being
Malcolm Chace of the University Gram
mar School of this city, and Z. II. Bud
long of tho Providence High School
Chace won after hard-fought contest by
the score of three sets fo one, -the-scoIe
being Ga, 10, 6-3 and 6-4. Chace
seemed to be having a walkover in the
first set and played all around his oppon-
ent, but in the second set Budlong braced
and did some beautiful playing. He
also started in with rush In the third,
but could not keep up the gait and Chace
finally became the lnterscbolastic cham
pion. Chace played the steadier game, but
Budlong did some very brilliant playing
at times, and his forehand strokes down
the side lines and across the court were
hard safe drives. He was apt to be erratic,
however, and drove too many balls out of
court. Chace played very steadily, and
braced finely after the second set, when
he appeared to be tired. Both men played
back court game, and there was little
smashing at the net. Budlong was espec-
tally strong on his backhand play, al
though Chace continually sent the balls
to his backhand. DIR. Dwight refereed and
Mr. Chettlesey acted as scorer.

Game for the Grays.
BROKE EVEN WITH SYRACUSE
HGsloolm Chase Wins tho Tennis Cham

High school Boys-Biily Piimmer
wins the Bantam Championship.

One OF the famous Sullivan family
twisted the ball for the Grays at Adelaide
Park yesterday. This young man came
from the Boston Unions well recommend
cd and his behavior in the box through
out the game showed that he knew
thing or two abont pitching. He was hit
safely now and then but he managed TO
keep the hits well scattered and above all
things demonstrated the fact he possesses
a cool head when il comes to tight place.
Time and time again there was man on
third base and two or three times there
were men on all bases, when IL looked as
IL they must surely score, but every time
he maintained perfect composure and
pitched the ball just as III there was moth
ing in the world TO keep him thinking.
The rest of the team played good game
"a wonderful Improvement over that or
Saturday and by winning yesterday,
broke even with Syracuse on the series.
The first inning was tough one for the
Syracuse men. Big Bob Barr was in the
box and the Grays had IA merry time with
him. Friel, the first man up, got hit,
and Mack followed with base on balls
Petit also got his base on balls, and Far
rar was hit i'm the ribs, forcing Friel TO the
plate. Hornung hit an easy one down TO
Billy Higgins at second, who shut Mack
at first leighton hit safely and Petit
and Farrar scored. Smith aud Ryan both
got hits, and Jack Leighton brought in
the fourth run. Sullivan struck out.
The visitors started off AS II they meant
business. Wolf got hit AMI got his
second base on Knights sacrifice. Doyle
flied out to Leo Smith and Jay Faatz
cot four balls Muller nit safely anu
Wolf scored Faatz was caught between
second and third and the sidewas re-
tired.
Neither side scored in the second, but
in the third both took a hand at IL.
Hornung cracked out a two-bagger and
Leighton sent him To third on a sacrifice,
whence he scored on Smiths hit. The
next two men flied out to MaDsell in CEN
ter field
For the Syracuse Knight got to first on
an error by Smith. Doyle was given a
base on balls and both were advanced a
base by Faatz's single. Miller hit n pop
fly which dropped into the diamond and
knight was shut out at the plate. Sui
livan threw to first to catch Miller.
Farrar let IL 90 by him and Doyle scored.
That was the last time either side crossed
the plate although both had men on third
base several times. The score:

This went on until the ninth round,
when Plimmer shot out his right, caught
Kelly on the neck, and foored him fairly.
The Spider got up and went TO work with
a right-hander on Plimmer's ear, glance
