GONE WITH The S3I.
That, Too, After Downey and
Cook Had Fought Five Rounds.
There Was SmalI-Sized Riot and
Referee Short Lett.
Lots Of Excitement for Little Money
in Ridgcwood.

A rattling fight with skin-tight gloves
took place last night at II sporting re.
sort in Ridgewood. II resulted In q
free, all-round rumpus, In which 200 per-
sons took part.
The principals In the first fight were
Jack Downey, Of Williamsburg. and
young" Cook, OF Brooklyn. They
weighed 100 pounds each, and appeared TO
be in superb condition when they en-
tered the ring. Downey had for his sec
onds Eddie Wheutly, Andy Kelly and
Hugh Monahan, while Young Cooks
interests were looked after by Hugh
Winters, Joe Mccarthy and Frank Pat
terson. Jimmie Short. of williamsburg,
acted as referee.
Before the pugilists entered the ring
they learned that only $2l had been
taken in, and. as they were to fight for
the gate receipts, they both Kicked"
vigorously. and refused to go on. Ref
announced to the spectators that, unless
more money was raised. the men would
not fight. A collection was taken up,
which netted $40: When the principals
ered he rnr of h hst they sd " non
blood between the fighters, and little
time was lost in preliminares
In the first round there was a lot Of
fddling. but not enough punching to hurt
anybody, but the second round was alto
gether different, as both boys started in
to mix" It. The round ended with mat
ters slightly In favor of Downey. From
this on to the fifth round. when the mill
came to an end, Downey had matters all
his own way, and would probably have
knocked Cook out had It not been for the
interference of some of the spectators,
friends Of Cook. They had decided to
win. tie or wrangle," and went ahead
on that line. Friends of Downey rushed
to his aid. and soon there was as lively
famous for Its fights, has had in a long
time. Chairs. canes and fists were used
indiscriminateiy, and there were enough
bloody noses. black eyes and bruised
bodies in a fewRminutes to make quite q
showing at a football game. Suddenly
there was a cry Of "the referees skipped"
1t could be plainly heard above the din
of battle. and seemed to act as a charm
upon the combatants. There was no
more punching. everybody stopping to
give his opinion as to where the man
with the $3l had gone. Before the ideas
OF all concerned could be had on this
subject the proprietor Of the "joint" and
thirty Of his friends swooped down on the
crowd and hustled oil hands into the
street.
There is no doubt about the referees
