fore Jerry Haley.

The large crowd that gathered at
Browns Comique on Saturday night ex-
pecting to witness weu-contested box
ing match between Jerry Haley of this
city and Patsy Mulligan of San Francisco
were disappointed. The ring record"
which the latter claimed was such as to
lead to the belief that he would give
Haley the hottest fight the latter has had
for years, if indeed he did not best him.
There was not much to choose between
the bantams as they appeared in the ring.
Mulligan had little the better of Haley
in hight and reach, but the latter had
more muscular development and ap-
peared the stronger of the two.
There was only one round. After fid-
ling for a minute or so Haley began to
lead, and landed lightly three or four
times with his left on Muiligan's face, the
latter contenting himself with lodging
and making no effort to land on the Sac
ramentau. This was taken as an indica-
ton that he wanted to draw Haley out,
and would show his hand later on.
And the stranger succeeded in drawing
Haley out. In the last minute of the
round the latter rushed Mulligan against
the wall i'll the rear of the stage, gave him
a solid punch in the stomach that brought
his head forward, and then administered
swinging leit-hander ON the jaw that
sent Mulligan to the floor all in a heap.
The man with long string OF scalps to
his belt lay there until long after he was
counted out, and when picked up and
dragged to his corner he was in very
dilapidated condition.
Yells OF ''Fake!'' came from all parts of
| the hall, which brought Haley to the
| footlights:
"If any of you fellers that think this
was fake tight III come up here, I'll
show you Iii fight any man Iii the
crowd, right here!"
| Nobody seemed disposed to accept Ha-
/ ley's invitation, but the cry of Fake -
still went up from the crowd.
! Then Manager Brown himself stepped
| forward and said:
IF anybody thinks there was fake
about this let him just come up and take
/ a look at that man in the chairn'
| And he pointed to Mulligan's corner.
where the latter's attendants and others
surrounded the helpless lad and were
! trying to get him intoa condition of men
| tai activity that would enable him to
realize what had happened to him.
| Not drop of blood was shed. and this
fact was probably what disappointed
many of those who cried "Fake % The
truth is that powerful blow admins
! tered on the point Of the chin will knock
a man out as effectually in the first round
as in the fortieth, and this appeared to be
| what happened to Mulligan.
Haley has now demonstrated his supe-
riority over so many second, third and
no-class scrappers that his friends think
he should try and see if he cannot put on
the pugiiistie shelf some of the cracks.
He has improved greatly since his long
and hard fight with Mahoney few years
ago and could doubtless get considerable
backing for a go with Mahoney, Haw-
kins, Sol. Smith and others who consider
themselves near the top round OF the
bantam ladder. 1t is doubtful if any of
them would have any advantage over
! HALEY.
