WOMEN PRIZE FIGHTERS


/ .AUosy WUAkut Wbo AuufA0u Vuts
HAzLEToN, Pa, Jan. 3.-Pleasant
Hill, a small mining town miles south
Of here, was yesterday the scene Of q
prize fight in which two women figured
rs the principals, They were Martha
Yabusk and Lille Damer. Miss Ya.
busk is strapping big woman, tipping
the beam at 1850 pounds, while her ad-
versary scarcely reached 145. The bat
tie lasted twelve rounds, and ended
only when Miss Yabusk became dis.
sbled from broken leg and arm.
The women had a dispute week
ago over the ownership Of dog, =
brindle mongrel. This led to the fstic
encounter. 1t was agreed that the
mill should be strictly scientific, and
hair-pulling and such things would not
be indulged In.
With two-minute rounds the fight
lasted thirty-three minutes, but before
1t was half over the articles Of agree.
ment were broken and the combatants
went at 1t hammer and tongs The
referee was Obliged to separate the
women several times. Kicking, slug.
ging and even biting were indulged in.
Both women were bleeding profusely
and considerably winded when they
came up for the twelfth round. Miss
Damer was clearly in better condition,
and she took advantage Of her sdver-
sary's weakness and landed q straight
arm blow in the region Of the belt, and
following 1t up quickly aoored her op.
ponent. In falling Miss Yabusk broke
her leg at the ankle and also fractured
her shoulder. She was insensible for
ten minutes. She was whipped badly
and admitted II, and the victorious
