tired when the gong sounded. The fourth
round was the most exciting bout ever
witnessed in the club. Sullivan pressed
the contest and made Mckinley hight ike
a tiger. 1t was biff, bang! from start to
finish, and the excitement knew no bounds.
qualities he had shown, and, had ne peen
as clever as Mckinley, he would certainly
have won. He retired, however, defeated
man and with face which was as knoopy
as thoroughbred Irish blackthorn SUCK.
The sixth match was between Stewart
Carter and Frank Gilbert, both OF the
Olympic. They scaled 40 pounds. In the
first round Gilbert certainly had the Dest
of the game but in the second carter, III
the vernacular of the sport, got move on
and outpointed Gilbert badly. he re-
peatedly landed on Gilbert's nose ana
body. In the third Carter's left was kept
busy planting hot shot on Gilbert NOUN,
but it seemed almost an lmposslDlnty 10
bring color from Gilbert's proboscls, when
was hit at least two dozen times. In the
fourth Gilbert got angry and tried 10
wrestle Carter down. He had the better
endurance and kept smashing away at
Carter until the latter grew very weak.
Carter however, kept poklng his left into
Gilbert's mouth, and by that method he
kept Gilbert from doing any great damage
Every one looked to see Gilbert win, and
when the judges counted up points ana
gave the decision to Carter the cheering
was deafening. If it had been six-round
bout Gilbert would certainly have won, as
he is famous slayer in this particular he
would more than outclass Carter The lat
ter is very proud man to-day. Scientific
cally he far outclasses Gilbert.
The seventh match was between j: W.
Reay OF the Olympic and M. k1rchner OF the
San Francisco Club. Their weights were
LA pounds. Neither of the boxers had the
remotest idea of what scientific boxing
really means.
Their arms swung like the pendulum of
a clock and their blows opened huge holes
in the midnight atmosphere. Some wild
swings landed occasionally, and the Judges
must have had hard time scoring up the
points made. In great swinging rally at
the end of the fourth round Reay caught
Kirchner on the jaw and knocked him
down. AS the gong went out of order,
Kirchner remained on the floor until
counted out Anyhow he was very much
dazed when he had regained his pins, and
in all probability would have been knocked
down again if the contest had gone on.
Reay was given the decision.
w. J. Feldcamp of the Olympic and B.
Brown of the Acme Club were the next
brace of boxers to appear. They scaled
154 pounds This was a contest in which
slogging formed the principal part. Brown
had the best of the game, but Feldcamp
proved that he was made OF good stuff.
and would make good man in the course
of time under a good instructors teach
ings Feldcamp is an outdoor man, and
recently came to this coast from Chicago.
Both of the men were painted like Indians
when the fourth round ended. Brown got
the decision, but it was dearly won.
w. j. Kenealey, who was matched to box
J. F. Miller, had very pleasant surprise
yesterday afternoon. His wife was taken
seriously Ill, and Kenealey had a second
possibly meet his contract to annihilate big
Miller of the San Francisco Club. NJ. j.
Dalton, the Olympic Clubs champion mid
dle-weight boxer, volunteered to take
Kenealey's place. and his kind offer was
quickly accepted. Dalton weighed 154
pounds and Miller's weight was given as
1876 pounds.
This match ended good evenings fistic
sport. When the boxers stood up for
business Dalton appeared like pigmy in
front of his powerful athletic opponent.
He tried several times to reach Miller's
face but failed. Miller simply played with
his opponent and in the second round he
essayed to put Dalton asleep. This job he
could have easily performed. He knocked
Dalton down twice, and the referee then
thought the sport had gone far enough and
amid great excitement and cries OF take
him off, Miller was ordered to his corner
and awarded the match and prize.
