The slx.ronnd boxing contest at the
Grand Opera House last night betwee n
&. j. MoriariLy, Delaware's light weight
champion, and Charles Mekeever,
Pennsyl vania's coming light weight
champion, was disappointing to the
sporting men who Tiled the building
IS 1t ended In draw. Moriarlty wa q
In poor shape. lie seemed pale an d
weak and was slow In his movements I,
while 1t was only occasiunly that he
used his left or swung MS right IN tn Q
vicious manner Tor which he ie noted.
He has been ill with malarial fever
aud left his home against the consent
OF DR.. Crumbaugh. This Is account
able for his poor opening. Uninterest-
cd sporting men believed that II he
had been we'll and In good condition
he would have won hands down. AS
It was lie was from the losers end.
Owing to his condition he kept on
the defensive for the most part OF the
contest. Morlarlty's evasive tactics
and the fact that the men boxed on the
stage with no ring, puzzled Mckesver
greatly as he Ia accustomed to boxing
In small ring. In the first wo round 8
was even. although couple of right
hand punches which Mckesver sent to
the local boxers heart made him vince
aud keep his body covered and out of
Nckeever's reach.
LII the third round McKeever contin.
ued his aggressive work, but he suf-
fered setback In the fourth round.
MoriRrity for the first time appeared
in his old time condition, and by using
{ his left and right put the Pennsylvania
fighter on his back. and would have
repeated the act had not McKeever's
agility saved him. The fifth round
opened In Morlarity's favor. but Nc.
Keever closed it. His punching was
hard, but Mortality cleverly ducked
and avoided the punishment. The
sixth round was alec the Wilmington
boxers.
: He used both arms lightly whllt
Nc. KpeYer could not touch him
Moriarity made several attempts 1,
hand his right but was unsuccessful
and tho contest came to an snd witt

die OF the stage.
