Athletic Club, Coney Island, N. Y, Nov.
There was a very good crowd at the
INA of the Seaside Athletic Club on
c,rev Island tonight to witness the box
inc contests. The club presented an
tr,.-fDe programme and it had the desired
.ese.. The contest between Billy Plimmer
and Charles Kelly was. of course, the
car bout of the evening, being advertised
% twenty round fight for a purse of
t5n the winner to take all, but it was
generally understood in sporting circles
nat the fight would virtually be to
finish. The other contests, though not of
60 many rounds, were of no small i'm
portance.
The first bout was one of six rounds be-
tween two Brooklyn boys of liz pounds
each. 1t was declared by the referees TO
he a draw and by the audience to be a
bore.
The next bout was a contest of eight
rounds between Billy Vernon of Haver-
straw and Bobby Dobbs of Minneapolis,
at 135 pounds, for a purse of $500. Dobbs
is colored man. They fought three
vicious rounds, and were stopped by the
rorce in the fourth round. They were,
however permitted to resume and Yer
non was knocked out in the same round.
The final bout of the evening was the
rnuch-talkcd of 20-round contest between
Billy Plimmer of England, champion ban
tarn-weieht of the world, and Charlie
Kelly of New York, who thus far has
won nearly all of his battles Plimmer's
seconds were Jack Plimmer. his brother,
Ro9uie Murphy Allen Robb, the cele-
brated bicyclist. All of his seconds were
from England.
The men had to weigh in at the ring
side at ~ pounds and they were both
down to weight.
Kelly had bandages on his wrists and
Plimmer objected and they were removed.
Nelys seconds were HOWE Gorkins, Tom
Connolly Jim Kelly and Pete Butler.
4 story of the fight by rounds follows:
Round kelly led with his left twice
and missed. Plimmcr landed a hot right
on Kely's face and the men clinched.
PImmer sent hot right on Kelly's wind
and got a light left on the face in return.
Kelly did not seem to be able to land and
several of his leads fell SHORE. Plimmer
jabbed his left on Kelly's face three or
four times without a return. Kelly was
wild and did not seem able to land with
any effect.
Round 2-Plmmer was cool and conf
dent when he came up for this round. He
planted his left on Kellys mouth and
Irotted back laughingly as ne got away
from KeIys vicious swings. Plimmer
kept up his straight left-handed jabs on
Keliys mouth, while he would by way Of
variety swing his right on his damaged
d face with telling effect. 1t was very ap-
a parent that Flmmer had his man at his
mercy. and could hit him when and where
he chose. This was the softest kind Of
mark for Pimmer. and the bout was so
n completely one-sided that many of the
4 ring veterans got up in disgust and began
to walk toward the door. 1t was easy
n to be seen that it could not last more
than another round unless Phmmer saw fit
to permit it.
Round 3-Plmmer landed his left and
was lightly countered. He then jabbed
his left and right on Kelly's bleeding
nose. Plimmer continued his jabbing tao
ties and soon had poor Kelly at MS mercy,
4 hitting MIN at will when ard where he
liked. Ii was plain to be seen that Kelly
was outclassed, and after fighting just
Il minute and 35 seconds the police stopped
the ight and the referee awarded the bout
