FACIAL DEFORMERS.
A Few Hours FisticufS at the
Palo Alto Club.
Dal Hawkins Finds Easy Game in Newly
Pledged Professional Named Killeen.
The San Francisco Club.

Inc Pal0 Alto Abnleuc CluD gave lCs
first athletic exhibition in the gymnasium
on New Montgomery street. formerly occu-
pied by the California Athletic Club.
The hall was crowded almost to suffoca-
tion and good order prevailed during the
entire meeting.
The preliminares consisted Of four
round exhibition bout between Frank
Kelly and Charley johnson and a ten-round
"go" between Gus Muller and kid"
Hogan.
Johnson. who is now matched to fight
Robert Dobbs (co0redl at the California
Athletic Club, made very good mpres-
sion on the spectators. He played with his
opponent and could have brought the bout
to speedy conclusion If he had so desired.
The contest between Muller and Hogan
was hot from start TO finish and gave gen.
eral satisfaction. FL ogan was much more
clever than his opponent, and during five
rounds of the fight he made chopping-
block of Muller's face. The latter was game
and took his Cruel" in good shape. Hogan
was In poor condition aud evidenced strong
signs of weakness in the latter part OF the
fight.
After battling the stipulated number of
rounds Referee Hen Gallagher ordered an
of time, but Muller had had enough OF
fistic punches, and his seconds acted wisely
by throwing up the sponge In favor OF
Hogan.
Muler's left eye will bear testimony for
several days to come of the stiff punches he
stopped during the mill.
The next feature was a contest TO finish
between Dal Hawkins. the feather-weight
who fell before Sol Smith of Los Angeles
in the same ring some months ago, and
Jack Killeen, spider-shaped feather
weight who recently budded from the anna
teur ranks.
The pugiists had signed an agreement to
fight at 116 pounds, aud Killeen carried out
his contract in this particular.
Hawkins refused TO step on the scales
when the time came for weighing in. and
when questioned as TO his reason for re-
fusing to be weighed said that he could not
get to the standard required and that he
was eight pounds over the limit.
Killeen's seconds grew indignant and OBJ
jected most emphatically to their man en-
terlng the ring under such severe handi-
car IN weight.
The matter was finally patched up by an
offer from the club TO killeen of 800 If he
would fight his opponent rather than have
a postpOnement and disappointment to
the members who had come to the club to
witness this battle in particular.
The betting was TO 2 TO in favor of Haw-
victorious as Hawkins won in the eighth
round.
Klleen was seconded by Martin Murphy
and his brother Hawkins had as his
esquires Sam Fitzpatrick, known as the
prince OF trainers and seconds, and Billy
Dacey, an old-time pugilist who has come
to this country to manage George Siddons'
affairs.
In the first round Haw kns gave his atten-
tion to Killeen's elongated body, while the
latter sent home several hot shot on Haw-
kins' face. The latter planted three or four
loft - IL, s..
marks behind. AS the round was drawing
to a close Killeen sent Hawkins reeling to
his corner by stiff right punch on the
neck, which made Dal look a bit serious
aud doubtful as to the result.
In the second round Hawkins swung re-
peatedly at Killeen's jaw, but most OF tie
blows were either parrled or fell short Of
the mark. After few exchanges sharp
rally followed in Killeen's corner, which
ended greatly in favor of Hawkins. as he
was far the better infighter Klleen was
game. though, aud he got back at his more
experienced opponent in good shape. COM
peliDg Hawkins 10 retreat to his own cor
ner. Hawkins fell short several times, and
killeen wound up the round by smashing
the ex-feather- weight champion of the
coast four good lefts in the face without a
return.
There was nothing done in the second
round, but in the fourth Hawkins forced
the pace and smashed Killeen several times
on the jaw and nose, drawing blood from
the latter organ. Hawkins had much the
best of this round. and retired to his corner
satisfied that the game was his.
In the fifth round Killeen was fioored by
right jolt in the jaw. and the spectators
were amused by Jim Neips speedy style Of
counting seconds. He was timer for
Hawkins. and ratified of the seconds In a
manner that would stop an iron clock con-
structed on the fast-time order.
Killeen was up and at his quarry in three
seconds. which, according to Neil, was eight
seconds down for Killeen.
After this Hawkins had matters his own
way. Killeen seemed to lose heart and
strength, and in the eighth round, during a
hot rally near the northeast corner of the
ring, Hawkins caught Killsen flush right
on the chin which sent the recipient under
the ropes and to the floor.
Neil started TO call off the seconds, but he
was stopped by the official timer, who
counted killeen out according to rule.
The entertainment on the whole gave
very general satisfaction.
