:. A. C.-New Boxer Arrives
The second smoker Of the s. A c. took
place al the club rooms last night, and
was more largely attended and If any
thing more enthusiastic than the preceu-
ing one. The contests. with one or two
exceptions, furnished rare sport ana
worked the spectators up TO such pitcn
that 1t was with reluctance that they nied
out. The smoker demonstrated the fact
that Seattle contains first-class atnIenc
talent. which with little more experience
will be able to successfully cope with tnat
of any club in the Northwest, IL not on
the Coast. While the crowd was large, IL
was good-natured in the extreme ana gem
erousiy applauded all the contestants,
good or bad. One meritorious feature was
the promptness in pulling off the various
events, doing away with tedious waits
so common in such affairs.
At $50 O'Clock sharp William n. Moore.
who acted as announcer. stepped 10 the
center of the ring and announced the nrst
event, a four-round go between I'D Plncus.
of this city, and Bill Savage, new I'M
portation from Australia Savage Is
compactly built featherweight and comes
with a good record. He simply laid all
over" Pincus. and hit him where and
when he pleased. He is especially shifty
on his feet, and has q straight left-hand
jab. which he shoots out with great
force, that was greatly admired. Pineus

outciassed in every point. As prominent
club member said. He stopped all Of
Savages blows with his face"
Capt. Jennings and his prize pupil, An
thCny Jacobsen. next gave very pretty
exhibition with the foils. in which Jacob
sen fully shared the honors with the vet
eran. Masters Ned and Ralph Hanford.
the young sons Of Judge Hanford, and
Nat Paschall, son of George NJ. Paschall,
secretary of the Seattle & Lake Washing
ton waterway Company, gave an eXhi-
bItfon OF their preWess with the foils and
showed considerable proficiency.
Next came the event OF the evening the
lour-round bout between Kid Beaumalt,
of Saginaw. Mich. who calls himself the
mysterious Kid" and Joe Cummings,
the clubs representative middleweight.
AS soon as the men entered the ring a
great contrast was noticeable in the diff
ference OF size. Cummings lowered over
his antagonist and had great advantage
in height. Beaumalt is stocky IN build,
his best feature being his underpinning.
AT the call OF time both men Jumped
lithely into the center of the ling, and
played for an opening. Cummings at once
assumed the aggressive, but the KID was
shifty. and ducked several nasty left
hand leads. He greatly amused the
crowd by his antics in making faces and
changing positions. The round ended
with honorS easy. The next two rounds
were repetition OF the first, with the ex-
ception of more hugging by both men.
In the third round Cummings planted
beautiful uppercut on the Kids Jaw The
last round was fought on the hurricane
order. although they were both percept-
IDLY weak before il closed. In this round
Cummings nearly put the Kid out with
right on the jaw.
Cummings lost his temper once or twice
and seemed slightly nervous in the third
a Dc 1rrT et- 1ea
looked when 1t is known that Beaumalt is
really the first good man he has ever gone
against, the Others being amateurs and
known to him. Then again he mas heard
all sorts of reports about the Kid being
a top notcher." and would naturally be
wary. Beaumalt is quite clever at duck
ing, but is by no means phenomenal at
punching or getting away.
Anthony Jacobsen and SIR. Tanner elicit
ed much applause for their work with the
single sticks, and showed marked i'm
provement over their former appearance.
Capt. Jennings and Mr.. Epstein also gave
a clever exhibition with the sticks. This
was followed by a four-round go between
Jack Nervis and Ed Coates, two parior
fighters. 1t was what might be termed
windmill set-to. in which no one got hit.
There was a sigh of relief when the box
ers" got through.
Harry Phelps and A. Costello gave n
exhibition OF scientific wrestling. Graeco-
Roman style. in which each won fall.
Costello has been a "top-nOtcher" in his
time. and Phelps is rapidly climbing the
ladder. His head spins were very clever
~ executed last night.
Prof. Green and his prize heavyweight
pupil, d. r. Porter. wound up the affair
with n four-round bout Porters i'm
provement has been little short OF phe-
nomenal. and he surprised even his tutor
by his showing He has acquired the use
OF both hands and hits Ike a pile driver
The professor went at him in the last
round like q Kansas cyclone and hit him
some hard jolts. but Porter was always
there and ready TO counter. Porter will do
10 watch
Too much credit cannot be given r. L.
Parkhurst and Prof. Green for arranging
the smoker. which occasions moro work
than the average club member has any
idea OF. Members were given the privilege
OF taking friends with them. and a number
OF outsiders enjoyed the affair.
