Their Gallant Record and Prizes Cap
tured in the Philadelphia Champion

swipe from the Wilmingtonian hurt Dee
too much and the Philadelphian
dropped and lay quiet on his back. The
referee adjudged that the Warren man
dealt an unnecessary hard blow, but he
awarded the contest to Moriarty.
In the 135-pound class the boxing was
equally interesting. Murphy, W.. A. G.,
lost his "go'' with Hendriekson by leaving
the ring because the referee allowed Hen
erickson to strike him foully when break
ing away. The audience detected this
trick of Hendrickson, and when it was
conspicuously repeated, raised II shout of
disapproval. Murphy refused to continue
further and the referee had no option but
decide the contest III favor of Hendrickson.
The Warren club will officially send a
protest against this decision, Hendrickson
being a professional boxer.
The following is summary:

The representatives of the Warren
Athletic Club made their finest record so
far in the finals of the Atlantic Associa-
ton boxing and wrestling champion
ship contests at the Philadelphia Acad-
envy of Music on Saturday night Tho
Warren men secured 27points including
three tirsts and four seconds. G. Mort
arty defeated F. T. O'Neill, A. G. S. N,
in the 125-pound boxing class; Charles
A. Glazier defeated ID. A. Wilhere,
Wynnwood Athletic Association, in the
heavyweight class; Robert Mullan won
second in the bantam-weight wrest-
ling. Cooper won first place in the 1876
pound wrestling contest and Klund,
second, in the same class; j. w. Gillespie
won second in the 15S-pound wrestling
contest. The Warren delegation of
members and friends numbered 150
J from this city.
In explanation it should be stated
that Mullan had badly strained the
leader of the middle finger of the left
hand. 1t was swollen up so that he
was entirely incapacitated from doing
other than wrestling for place.
In the 135-pound boxing contest
! Bollen was at first given second place,
as his opponent, Hendrickson, forfeited
, without contest. But the A. @. S. N.
