Warren Athletic Club Furnishes Sew.
eral Lively Rnundn

There were three hours OF rafting good
hghting last nigh: at the entertainment OF
the Warren Athletic Club at their rooms on
Maryland avenue southwest, and a large
crowd was there to see the fun. The show
was the first one given by the club, and,
although rather hastily gotten up, every
thing went OF in ship-shape style.
Jack Bolan, the champion I26-pound man
OF America, opened up the evening with a
three-round bout with Ed. Roache. Every
body wanted to see Bolan get to work and
show of his PAGES, but ne was matched
with man weighing 40 pounds. who made
IL uphill work for him There vas some
last lighting in the first round, the second
round was rather tame and the last round
enGed with honors easy. There was no de-
clsion given. The next event was A lively
tilt between Thicker and Holleran OF three
rounds, In which Holeran was fouled.
Lively Scrap.
After this Bonnie Hall and Humphrey
Howard, two colored pugilsts entered the
ring and put up one of the most Interesting
bouts of the evening. They weighed about
lJ0 pounds and had a lively scrapping
match for four rounds, which ended in a
draw. In the first round they played rap.dly
about each others heads, without much gain
on either side, but things warmed I'D to-
ward the close, and they got IN some SIN
ticks back and forth. Following this was a
three-round bout between Tom Boucher. a
white lighter. and Hense, a colored man.
Boucher had the better reach and seemed 10
be letting his man of easy. The fight con-
sisted OF a good deal OF light slapping hut
no heavy hits were exchanged, and the con-
test was declared a draw. Tho-ne and
Lewis, both members OF the club then had
a set-to, which was lively from the first TO

the first round and gained blood from his
opponent but after that he weakened, and
in the third round Lewis IAN him into the
ropes and .anded a head gmasher, which

Ellis and Powers than had a three-round
go Of two minutes each. which was won by
Powers. with some good ra2s on his COM
batant's face. Then Bray Of the Canter-
bury Club and Williams of the Washington
Athletic Club, two heavy weights, tried
their hands at punching each other This
match excited great enthusiasm, and both
men showed themselves TO be htte-s Of a
high rank. They both worked cautiously in
the first round. feeling their way. but in The
third and last round they lit into one anoth-
er with vim. AID ala some bruising. Bray
led, however, from almost the beginning
and was declared the winner The show
was wound up with four-round bout be-

An IRON HALL APPEAL.
A Protest Against the Permanent Re.
ceivership fer the Order.


d. W. Howe Of counsel for the Iron Hall
membership at Indianapolis yesterday filed
an appeal in the supreme court from the
decision of the superior court making the
receivership permanent He also filed
petition to have the case advanced on the
docket
The appeal sets up that the Iron Hall was
not insolvent when the receiver was ap-
pointed. but became so. If at all, by reason
OF the appointment. which cut of the in
come from assessments. The brief insists
that the members should have an oppor-
tunity TO reorganize if they wish TO do so,
or to quit and distribute the funds in their
own way. Almost any plan they might de-
wise would net them more than they will
get after years of litigation, the sacrifice
Of property and the expense of forty or
more receivers and attorneys.
1t is urged that while il is the duty CT
the court first TO determine plainly which
OF the two rival bodies. each claiming to
be the lawful supreme sitting. is the law
ful one. and then turn over 10 IL the prop
erty and management Of the order. II 10
is asccrtained that neither organization 10
lawful then IL is the duty OF the court to
ALLOW the members an opportunity OF ef-
fecting lawful organization and. IL neces-
sary. TO order n new election. This is the
relief asked by the defendant

door and disappeared, and we have
