Punished.

A terrific fight To the finish between
Jack Reagan aud Doty Mack. both of South
Washington. was brought off on Fort
Runyon road, near Alexander Island race
track. yesterday morning in the presence
Of about 200 lovers of the prize ring.
The go was fixed for March g, but
owing 10 the anxiety of the principals the
hackers decided that they would find
Il battle-ground and bring things TO a
finish as soon Is possible.
Their first impulse was TO pull the fight
off in a South Washington lumber yard.
hut ON second thought decided they would
be safer in Virginia, and SO headed in that
direction.
The bout was one of the swiftest seen
near the city i'm long time, ana though
the purse was only $25, each fighter
fought as if il Were for fifty times that.
DECIDED on A FOUL.
Mack seemed TO get decidedly the best
out, got the decision in the fifth round on
a fowl.
Mack led off in the first round with his
left, and landed hard blow on Reagan 5
nose. He repeated The dose with his right
on his opponents jaw. He then rushed
Reagan and they clnched.
The second saw Mack with another lead
and this time with his right on Rcagan'S
mead a toul WAS Clalmeu, but Al WAS not
granted.
Again they clinched and broke away
ana Mack landed an uppcrcuj on Reagan 5

ecivcd a hard punch III his eye.

She ring caught him one in the face and
split his nose. There was a quantity OF
terrific fighting in tie fifth round.
Mack landed with his right and left on
Rea gan'S head and body, and the latter :
defense was very poor. Reagan recoE-
cred toward the last and got in couple
OF good ones Just below Mack's heart.
They clinched, and when they were
separated Mack landed hard blow on
Reagan's body, which the lattcr's seconds
claimed foul, on the ground that the
blow was below the belt. Referee William
Anderson granted the foul, and Rea gan was
given the decision.

GOOD SEASON FOR FISH.
Rivermen Say There VIII Be Plenty
of Shad and Herring.

Rivermen Say There VIII BE IlenJy
of Shad and Herring.
He spoke OF fish.
He was Il long fellow, loose coupled at
the joints. There was a tar and Oakum
flavor about him. He blew a fog of smoke
from his corncob pipe and cast his weather
eye along the river and across the SKY as
he spoke of fish
''Yas, sir, looks purity much es if we'd
git right smart run o. feeSh this spring"
were the first words ne SAID. Then he told
The Times why the indications are good.
An open winter makes an early spring for
fish. The sooner the fresh water warns
up the sooner do the finny tribes set out
upon their annual Up-river pilgrimage.
During the winter hey make their home
in the deep waters of the Chesapeake, and
millions of them go out 10 sea for the
cold spell.
When they feel the warm, fresh tides
come rolling down they seem to know
that he ferry-bOatS are running, that the
girls have laid away their skates, that
furs are out of fashion, that the river banks
are getting green and that anemOnes and
violets are blooming there. They almost
seem TO know that the excursion bands
are tuning up.
Then they swim out of the deep, salt
waters. The fishermen know the habits
OF these fish and the great SiX-mile, steam
hauled seines are set in motion. Whole
schools OF the fish fail by the waySide
The fisheries at NcitZeS Landing, Stony
Point and other dOwn-river places are
already prepa ring for the season, and
the indications are that plenty OF shad
and herring will come this way. Last
season was a fairly prolific one from the
fish standpoint, but the market was not
good. Washington did not seem TO feel
that she needed as much brain food as
usual.
