SPORTING MISCELLANY.

| Coney Island last night we're not,
collectively. a glittering success. for
several reasons. one OF the causes for
failure was the fact that in but one of
the contests were the men we'll paired.
The plan OF arranging the bouts seemed
to be by taking a handful of pugilists,
throwing them together and picking
them out at random. Thus Loeber was
against Critic. when he would have
shown better against Marshall, and
Lavigne fought the latter when he
would have made It interesting for
Critic. The Butler-Dunn bout was
simply a meeting between men not in
the same class.
Another factor that Spoiled the plot"
was the actual carrying out of the
police programme announced and di-
the instructions of Mr.. Welles were
printed In THE Evening World" on
Saturday. many OF the wise ones re-
der. and smiled serenely. The order
meant business. and was carried out to
the letter.
The attendance last night was small,
| but still sufficient to Insure margin of
| profit About $500 people heard the bell
ring for the Dunn-liutler bout Butler
was lighter, less aggressive and far less
skilful at smuggling than was Dunn.

the second round. Buffers right eye

When the Griffo-Loeber mill was an

Well, Eddie didn't do t.. whatever may
have been his Intentions He landed one
swing on the Australians wind and then
clean forgot What he had gone mt the
asking himself II he ever knew any
thing about boxing. Griffo made n
plaything OF him and Referee McCaf-
frey wisely stopped the bout.

with Kid Lavigne. all of which served

sidered a champion does not appear, but

settle It, The colored youth Is undoubt-
eddy game, but there Is lot about box
ing and generalship that he doesn't
know. He has good duck and n fash
| ion OF sending an uppercut In during a
clinch. but he waits until he has been
punched before trying for an opening.
His blows are counters, rarely leads.
Lavigne impressed audience and referee
favorably alike and got a well earned
| decision.
A match may be made between Critic
and Lavigne. The latter fought the
Australian to draw In eight rounds
at Chicago.
