! auspices CT the Amateur Athletic Union Blood
flowed in copious streams the police pranced about,

appetite for brutality seemed to have been whettcd
| howed in derison. one sparrer was sent 10 the
| floor unconscious and he dragged limp and
| helpless from the ring the better element in the
crowd turned away faint. The others sent up an
| ugly roar, not unlike pack Of hungry wolves which
had about reached their prey. II is safe predict
that there will be "spairng" like that last
night seen again In public in this city Inspector
McAvoy and Captain Schmit;berger were present to
see that brutality did not rampant. but their
authority dsregarded on many sides
GehrinG, the champion of Maryland made an ex-
cellent showing. He is clever sparrer. and he
may prove to be a second Leeds. Evans who COM
peed on Monday, was disqualified; as his real name
found to be Paterson. This allowed McVeigh
to fight in the finals.
