Last night the Mission Athletic club
room was crowded, so that not even
standing room was left with men who
were there TO hear the bulletins of the
Sullivan Corbett fight read and witness
the athletic exhibitions given by anna
tours belonging to the club. just before
9 o'clock the first bulletin was received
and read. When the bulletin on the first
round was read, which stated that not
blow had been struck during the whole q
round the applause was deafening. As
the fight progressed and IL could plainly
be seen that Sullivan was getting the
worst of IL those present tried to raise the
roof with their applause. Many bets
were offered up to the twentieth round,
giving ODDS on Sullivan, but few were
taken and those who took them had to 90
outside the club room to make them, as
President Heqermann spoke TO the audi
ence when the fight first commenced,
prohibiting any bets TO be made in the
hall and afterwards stopped several from
helng made. When the twenty first round
was read out aud it was learned that Cor
bett had won, cheer after cheer was given
by the crowd, who nearly went wild over
the affair. 1t is true that there were some
present who did not join iI the applause
and who looked daggers at those who
did; These were the unlucky ones who
had their money on the big fellow.
Besides the reading of the bulletins,
there were the following athletic sports
given by mem berS of the club: The en-
tertainment was commenced by Reilly
and Knisley, who made some splendid
standing high kicks. Reilly took the
honors.I After this came horizontal
where Reilly again distinguished himself.
kinsley here showed to advantage the
immense strength he has in his arms, by
performing some wonderful feats of
strength.
After the bar exercises there was a
short intermission during which time
nothing was done, after which came the
feature OF the evening. the sparrlng
match between Earnest Reich and Clar-
ence Winters. The men, when they en-
tered the ring. were both received with
applause. When time was called they
advanced to the centre and commenced to
spar for an opening. Winters led right
and left and tried to hurry things up.
His, tricks were good ones and
he succeeded in landing heavily sew
ecal times on Reich'S neck and
b)dy. From the second to the end of the
third round things were much the same.
Reich making points, and bringing first
blood and also scoring a knock down in
the third: Winters doing fancy work try
ing to catch his opponent off guard. The
fourth round was Reich's, Winters was
bleeding freely from the nose and looked
bad at the end Of the fourth. Reich,
though he received several hard knocks,
looked fresh and lively. The fifth round
was tame there being only light sparring
all the way through. The sixth was hot
and was Reich's. He punished Clarence
severely and it looked as though knock
out m Ight result as Clarence was groggy
and could not take punishment as well as
his opponent.
Tom Reilly and Gabe Cazelle next put
the mittens on. There was hard slug
ging and also scientific work on both
sides. Gabe is strong as a mule and had
the most science, but Reilly had the
reach, weight and probably the most
strength and at the sixth round neither
were hurt and honors rested about even.
Following the last sparring match
came contortion work and tumbling by
Shorty" Phillips, KniSley, Aue and
Reilly. The latter did the contortion
work and his featS brought applause from
all present. The other boys did some
good tumbling and feats of strength.
