Last nights mill at New orleans was
something Of a surprise 10 people here
| abouts. who contemplated an cas-; vic
| tory for Plimmet. The Engllshman was
| nc doubt 'leyerer than Murphy and a
! more skilful boxer. but the Bostonian
showed a greed for punishment that
was amazing. and his rally IN the
twenty-second round was surprising.
In fact Plimmer came mighty near los
! ing the battle right there through a
Knockout The night illustrates one
fact particularly: limited bouts Of snort
duration are SNOWY and bring out clpv-
| erness, but they are poor preparation

any weight. Now 10 the time for the
Engllshman tc go 20 work in earnest to
arrange a match with him on terms
which he knows the champion can ac-
cept Bantams at If pounds are out
OF their class, and Plimmer and Murphy
both should be classed as feather
weights.
