CREED0N WINS THE FIGHT
HE KNOCKED QUIT BILLY HENNESSY
 IN THE SIXTH R0UND.

There Was Some Good Inside Work in the
 First Reconsideration Let a Good Drive
 Go Into Hennessy's Face in the Second
 The Boston Man Was at No Time Match
 for the AustraIian.
 Boston, June 24.--Dan Creedon of Aus
 tralia whipped Billy Hennessy of Bos- ton in six rounds at the Suffolk Athletic club tonight, It was plain to the 500 spectators that Creedon would win after the first round, but Hennessy made a plUcky battle while it lasted. In the sixth round, when he was hoored with a left hand punch, which dazed him, he made desperate attempt to regain his feet. but Creedon finished him with right swing on the jaw, which put him out,
 The exhibition was opened by Tom d'Arcy and Tim Gallagher, both Bos- tonians, who were to spar fifteen rounds but after five rounds Of hard fighting Gallagher was knocked completely out.
 When Creedon and Hennessy entered the ring Hennessy looked the smaller, but was in the pink of condition, weigh ing about 157 pounds. Both spared for an opening. Hennessy was first to lead on Creedon's stomach, but fell short Creedon was evidently sizing up his op- ponent and fought cautiously. He land- ed with his right on Hennessy's jaw, but the latter reta1iated with a straight left on Creedon's stomach. Some in fighting followed and both men made an excellent showing.
 Tn the second Hennessy landed a good one on Creedon's jaw. Creedon stepped to the center and watched his oppo- nent for a few seconds, then let his right drive full into Hennessy's face. He followed this with another and then a left swing, which completely dazed Hennessy.
 A light left on his jaw sent him against the ropes. Creedon slipped and Hennessy rallied sufficiently to step to the center of the ring. It looked as though one punch would put him out, but the bell saved him When Hennes- sy came up for the third round4 he ap- peared fresh Creedon landed with both hands on his face. Hennessy planted his left on Creedon's jaw. He with a right on Creedon's face. creedon made a rush for Hennessy with u SWlIfS, JUL IL WdE ClGNGTly auuEhENt. Creedon began to fight slow and left many openings.
 Tn the fourth round Creedon opened with straight left which landed on ribs. In-f1ghtfng followed and Hennessy had much the better of t. Creedon landed two straight lefts 1n Hennessy's jaw before the round ,losed.
 Hennessy used his right with good sffect in the fifth round on Creedon's ace Creedon was waiting for a chance 0 land f1is right and feinted many times ut Hennessy used his head, cleverly lncl5ing out of the way.
 in the sixth both appeared in good condition. Hennessy landed his left on ribs and followed with 2 wing on the jaw. Creedon stepped ,ack foot and began to fight cau- iously He landed his left twice on Iennessy's jaw and got away without eceiving a blow. Before the latter ould recover sufficiently he got another wing in the same place, which knocked i'm out.

showing signs of weakness, and while
 their stroke had increased to 48 the Co., lumbias with 38 strokes were slowly
 moving ahead with the Pennsylvanians nearly abeam At the mile and three quarters there was clear water be-
 tween the boats of the blue and white
 and the red and white, while the Penn sylvania people were half a length astern.
 Up to the two mile point the race
 was as pretty one as a crew ever rowed. The magnificent form of the
 Columbians and the almost equally good form of the Comedians, with the dogged tenacity of the Quakers made a contest that will long be remembered
 At the two mile mark, with half the course ahead, Columbia had lead of two lengths. Cornell was splashing badly, but had added half length to the lead over Pennsylvania. The two miles were made in 10:32, quick time, considering the rough water. At two and one-half miles Columbia was still forging ahead and had two length and a half to the good Pennsylvania was splshing badly
 The Cornells kept up their quick stroke doing 46 to the minute. But the Columbians clearly outrowed their opponents, and showed no signs of weariness. At three miles it was the Columbians' race barring accidents Their boat led by four lengths. Cornell was pulling gamely, but the Pennsylva- mia boat was getting deeper and deeper in the water, and just after passing under the bridge the crew stopped row ing. The men were sitting in water and the boat was sinking
 Their launch was quickly alongside and took the men aboard
 From the three mile point to the end the race was procession. The Colum- btans eased down. Their long, telling stroke was kept up down the line of screeching tugs and excursion boats to the finish. It was 7;15:25 when the Co., lumbias crossed the line. They had made the four miles in 21:25 beating Cornell seven lengths Cornelrs time was 21:46 2-5
 Columbia's victory was greeted with the screeching of steam whistles and tremendous cheers. The hubbub lasted for ten minutes. Both the Columbia and Cornell crews were fresh and strong. After the race the CorneIls started off to row to their boat house, of a mile away. The boat had deal of water in it. The steamers and launches were ploughing up the water at a great rate. Cornell managed to get will inshore before the slump came. As the water washed across the shell the men prevented 1t from going down altogethsr and a boat put out from shore to their assistance. Five of them grabbed the rowboat on one side and 1t capsized, dumping its two occu- pants into the water with the Cornell crew The rowboat went down, too.
 The Cornell launch then steamed up and rescued all hands. The Cornell shell will probably be of no further use. The Cornells and Pennsylvanias attribute their defeat to the rough weather The Pennsylvania boys were bitterly disap- pointed.
 Columbia men are tonight celebrat- Ing the victory of their crew with great 1

DROWNED IN WEST RIVER
UNKNoWN MAN FOUND TLOATING
 BY FIYB BOYS YESTERDAY.

Believed to Have Been & Case of Suicide
 Possibility of Foul Play--Cor0ner Mix
 Will Investigate To-day-No Clue to the
 Identity of the Dead Man.
 The body of an unknown man was found floating in West river, near the Kimberly avenue bridge, about 4:sO o'clock yesterday afternoon by five boys who were rowing on the river The boys were George Cook, Frank Colwell D. Cosgrove, w. Cronan and John Cos grove, all of this city. The body was found floating on the West Haven side of the river and was lowed by the boys to the Kimberly avenue bridge, where Medical Examiner Barnett was sum money. and after viewing the body, ordered its removal to Stahl & Hege1's undertaking establishment in this city.
 The case Is In the opinion of Medical Examiner Barnett one of suicide, though there is also an element of possible foul play in the case. The body Is that of a German about forty years of age, six feet in height and weighs about 200 pounds. He was dressed in black shirt, coat, vest and trousers, and wore gatters, no stockings and a leather belt around his waist.
 After the body had been removed to Stahl X Hegel's Medical Examiner Bar nett made more complete examination but found nothing among his effects which would tend to disclose the iien- tity of the man. In the pocket of his coat was found memorandum book containing notes, showing that he was a moulder by trade, memorandum of work and the following written in German, "Gerkin Franklin House. He has that - house. Drives me to my death. boarded with him six months and owe him $16 for board'
 Carl Gerkin, who keeps the Franklin house on Greene street, called at stahl & Hege1's last night and viewed the re- mains, but was unable to identify the man R. F. Hotchkiss, who lives at No. 2 First avenue, West Haven, stated that he knew the man but could not re- call his name He said that the man had formerly worked at Btgelow's, and later at Fitch's shop, and lived in a udIH III Itle icebt Dt LSAlktAtA 4oCSSi4C1 saloon on Wooster street, It Is thought that in all probability Gerken will be able to identify the body to-day. Coroner Mix was notified of the affair, and after viewing the body last night Is of the opinion that 1t is a case of suicide The remains had evidently been in the water for several days, and upon the jaw was bruise as though the man had been struck by some blunt instrument. It was this brufse that raised the suspicion of foul play Coroner Mix. however, in- ,lines to the opinion that the bruise was 'aised after death and was probably i some obstruction in the river. He will, 1 however,, continue his investigation this 1 morning
 About a week ago an unknown man, the description of the man whose remains were found floating in l he river, called at police headquarters n this city and told the officer in charge | hat he had been turned out of his oom at the Franklin house, that he had l 10 money and wanted nights lodging.

There is as Yet Little Betting on the Great
 College Race.

 New London, June 24-What the crews did on the river to-day did not avail to give any idea of their speed on long distances. This evening the Yale freshman and varsity eights came down to the bridge in the launch and pulled back, the freshmen hitting a live ly pace over the two miles to the navy yard, where they shut off, and the var yitcrew went over the full course. The latter crew did most of its rowing in a dense fog that shut it out of view. Guy Richards, who has captained the Co., lumbia varsity crews, will be referee of the Yale Harvard Columbia freshman race, which will take place Thursday morning between and 10 o'clock. The race will be up the river, beginning at the bridge.
 The varsity race takes place Friday afternoon as near o'clock as possible, for the tide will be running ebb for about an hour and d half then This race will be, as usual, down the river, the finish being at the bridge. George Rivers will be referee. The launch Do- ra will be.the referees boat.
 Harvard's practice this evening was far up the course, out of sight from the Yale quarters. As the date for the race comes closer the belief that the contest will be a close one increases.
 There is little betting on the race yet, but Yale is a slight favorite. The Co., umbia crew will arrive tomorrow and get upon the river at the first opportu- nifty.
