SPORTING NOTES.
GLOVE CONTEST.

Last night a number of San An
tonio's sports put their heads togeth-
or and arranged q sparring match be-
tween two negro boys, but when the
fight was to come off, n Of the con.
testants did not show up, SO another
boy was hunted up who was wild for
such sport. The next dirnculty which
presented itself was that of getting
gloves. These were brought, after
awhile, and the fight declared on.
The mittens were by no can new
and one of the pair used both for the
same hand, but this did not stop the
fun.
The names of the boys are: Will
Morris and Ike Weston. The former
won the fight.
Time for the fret. round was called
at 10 o'clock p. m. Both men stepped to
the centre and commenced to spar for
IN opening. Billy led with his right
and followed it up with the left and
forced the fight to Ike's corner. The
latter did very little duripgthis round
which ended In favor of Billy.
Round two: The participants
stepped out shook hands and then
commenced to work for an opening.
Ike seemed to wake up and as he lie
left handed he had q slight advan-
tage which he used very effectually.
| Billy continued to force the fight but
the round ended with honors about
even.
Round three: This was marked
with hot aud close fighting both
men clinched several time and were
made to break away. Billy fought
Ike to his corner but the latter soon
reversed matters and getting Billy in
his corner rained blows on him In
fine style. Ike Kept Billy in his cor
corner to the end OF the round in
which honers were nearly even but
leaned towards Ike.
Round four: The boys thought
they had enough by this
time and Ike commenced
to weaken. This raised Billy's cour-
age and after haunting him for q while
Ike was finally gotten in the ring
again. Billy had everything his ov n
way and administered punishment II
abundance to Ike, who did not appear
to be "in itn at all. The round ended
for Billy.
Round five: Ike had to be again led
to the ring. He was completely broke
down and also decidedly 'rattled."
This was very much like the pre-
cedng round and ended In favor of
Billy, who pummeled Ike from be-
ginning to end,
Round six and last: This was tame.
Both men famed at the air and very
few effective blows were struck.
Billy got in q few good punches, but
Ike did nothing whatever, and when

trouble.
