"a comparison of the cash holdings of

THE WHITE BUILDING"
BANTAMS FIGHT TO A DRAW
Forty Rounds Fought by Flanagan
and Tierney.
Youngsters Wcr. in he Rim. for Over
Two Hours and Put Up an
Extraordinary Fight.

Phladclphla, April l0.-Stcye Flanagan
and Nit Ticrney met in a finish fight at
Camden early yesterday morning. They
fought forty rounds, lasting two hours AMI
forty minutes when the referee, al the soCi.
iation of the sporting men present, stopped
the fight and declared IL a draw, much
against the wishes of the game httlc
fighters. The fight throughout was an
even one, AMI the contestants We're in such
fine condition that they Iert the ring TO all
appearances as fresh as they entered it.
Flauagen and Ticrney We're sGhooimates
together, amd as small boys played around
the rocks of Mauayunk. They both drifted
INTO pugiism about the same time. Fana.
gen weighed 1O5 pounds, while TIerDcy
tipped the beam at two pounds more.
From the time the boys, who are close
friends, entered the ranks OF fighters,
there has been a question in the minds OF
their admirers as To which was the better
fighter. Steve aud Milt always Expressed
themselves as being willing TO try. Three
weeks ago the match was made, aud both
trained faithfully.
Flanagen ard Ti.rney entered the ring
shortly after midnight. They were both
pictures of wclI-trained athletes. The lat
shook hands with a friendly grasp and the
fight was on. From the very start the
men went at II with a determination to
win or lose IN short order. The spectators
all agreed that the bout would not last ten
rounds at the rate the boys started Off but
itdid. and all u greed tha it was the greatest
contest witnessed in this vicinity for years.
Several times during the fight il looked
as though one or the other would be
knocked out. but they would recover very
quickly. 1t was an even fight throughout.
Flanagan did most of the leading for the
first twenty rounds with Tierney on the
defensive and fighting in n very cautions
manner. In the fifth round a hard right
hand CroSs-Countcr made Fianagen Very
groegy. AMI it looked as though he would
surely go under; but TIerncy did not take
advantage Of the opportunity offered. In
the ninth round Flanagan nearly knocked
Tierney out. but also let the chance go by.
Steve drew first blood by a lcft-band jab
in the mouth.
The fight throughout was hard one,
and they were battling as fast in the
fortieth round as they were at the gin
ming. When the referee stopped 1t the
fighters shook hands warmly aud both
agreed that it was n good battle.
I'VE should finish it, said Flenagcn.
IAN right. Steve, any time will do me-"
responded Ticrney. prominent sporting
man present said he would guarantee them
a purse of $3.50 for a fight within two
weeks, and both agreed to fight it out
within two weeks.
