CoNNELL DEFEATED WILSON.
Hard Fighting at tho Bfue Front.a
Stag.

Last nights battles before the Blue
Front Athletic Club at Turn Hall. Union
Hill, We're replete with cleverness, and the
hardest fighting witnessed here in years.
The club made a big hit, and sustained a
more prominent reputation in the manage
ment of entertainments of this nature.
Only a fair-sized audience was present.
Johnny Eckhardt was the referee. The
first battle was six rounds, at ITO pounds,
between Jerry Hill, of Bayonne, and Peek
Barry. For three rounds Hill had a de-
cided advantage. He weakened in the last
two rounds and Barry gained a lead by
fast mitigating, but the advantage was
not great enough to enable the referee to
decide other than a draw.
The star event was eight rounds, al lis
pounds, between Bobby Wilson and Eddie
Council. Theirilast fight was a draw. At
the start Council became the aggresSor,
and continued his. tactics until the end.
He fought best at close range, and in the
mix-up seemed to excel. Wilson was
clever, and with his long reach landed
many painful blows on ConnelI's face. He
had a good left and ajabbed with it when
ever Cornell rushed within reach. Con-
nell used his efforts in pounding his OPP
ponent owe the heart. In every round
the boys slugged away and none but an
experienced man could ave picked out
the more clever. The. final round was
brim full of fact fighting, the boys getting
away until the call of time. Both were
well played out when the bell rang. Con-
nelfs leading won the victory. A decision
that suited the majority.
