Baltimore, Aug. 19.-The internation-
al bout between Stanton Abbott, cham
pion lightweight of England, and Owen
Zeigler of Philadelphia, who fought
Jack McAuliffe to a draw, occurred to-
night at Eureka Athletic club in the
presence Of 1,500 spectators.
Preliminary to the main event, Mike
Boden, the "Canuck' of Philadelphia,
and Abe Uhlman of Baltimore engaged
in a ten-round battle. The fighting was
in Uhlman's favor from the first. In
the third round Boden clinched and de-
livered several savage blows after the
call to break" The referee therefore
awarded the preliminary contest to
Uhlman.
Abbott and Zeigler entered the ring
at 10 o'clock The Englishman was ac-
corded a generous reception as he step
ped inside the ropes. He weighed 132
while Zeigler weighed 1311s. Abbott
looked a trifie thin and Overtrained.
while ZeiglerS muscles stood out in
punches and he looked to be in the best
of condition. Jake kilrain and Frank
Early were in the Englishman's corner
and Turkey Smith and D. L. Bailey as
sisted Zeigler. George Mats Of Balti-
more acted as referee.
First round-Zeigler landed on the
face and then on the breast. The Eng
lishman got in a face blow. He was
very cool while Zeigler danced around
the ring and lunged viciously. No
heavy work this round.
Second round-Zeigler got in two
light face blows and a rib-roaster. The
Englishman fell to his knees and as he
rose Zeigler gave him a terrible right
under the eye, nearly closing it. Abbott
looked distressed as the round closed.
Third round-Zeigler forced the fight
ing and after getting a strong face
blow Abbott slipped and fell against
the ropes.
In the fourth and fifth rounds Zeigler
pounded Abbott's stock. Abbott re-
sponded with light blows but his right
was short. The Englishman came to
the front in the sixth round and got two
strong blows in Zeigler's face. Abbott
ducked cleverly and kept Zeigler work
ing hard. The fighting was sharp but
uneventful until the end of the eighth
when the American was fought to the
ropes.
The Englishman seemed to freshen as
the fight progressed. He was slow,
however, and the eleventh round open
ed when the American delivered what
was nearly knockout before Abbott
got his hands up.
