RYAN KNOCKED OUT.
Island-Put to Sleep in Twent
Rounds.

Rounds.
Empire Athletic Club. Maspeth. l.. l.,
March "A twenty round GO" be-
tween Tommy Ryan and kid" Mccoy,
was the principal attraction at the En-
pire Athletic club tonight. 4 large
crowd was in attendance. Ryan's last
appearance ut the coney Island Ath-
letic club in his battle with "Myster-
ious" Lilly Smith fingered in the minds
of many of the spectators and odds of
to | We're laid on him. Tim Hurst was
referee and Frank Freeman held the
water.
The curtain raiser was an eight-round
bout between Jack Downey, of Brook
lyn and Larry Burns, OF Cohoes. 1t
resulted in II draw.
The stars of the evening were the
next to put in an appearance. Ryan
said he scaled 14S pounds, Mccoy
weighed 135 pounds. Time was called
at 10 O'Clock and Ryan Immediately
began his rushing tactics but was met
by Mccoy with several hard knocks
on the face. From this on Ryan acted
on the defensive. Mccoy showed great
clevcrneSs and rather surprised the
spectators. Up to the sixth round it
was easily McCoys fight. In the sew
enth round Ryan once more assumed
the aggressive ana the kid" Clinched
to save himself. In the eighth Ryan
attacked and punched his man with
the left high ON the head. The kid"
rushed aSain and Ryan turned. Ryan
swung his left on the jaw and nearly
sent Mccoy against the ropes. Mccoy
rushed AT his man and punched him
right ana left on the jaw, Knocking
him down. Ryan took nine counts and
got up. Mctoy rushed him again and
punched him almost to "a standstill
when the bell rang.
In the ninth Mccoy rushed his man
all over the ring and iloOred him again
with left swing on the jaw. Finally
Ryan c1inchod to save himself.
Nothing much was done in the tenth
round but from the beginning of the
eleventh till the gong sounded Mccoy
punched his opponent right and left.
Ryan's face presented II horrible sight.
He was 2rOggy and only saved himself
by clinchiuE. Ryan was fioorcd again
in the twelfth by Il right hand swing on
the jaw.
From this ON. Mccoy did about as he
pleased With RYAN. who remained game
To the core. Finally in the fifteenth
round the kid upp"rcut his man with
the left. drove his right on the stomach
and Knocked Ryan down twice. Ryan
got w. only to he pushed down again.
This time Ryan stayed down and was
slowly counted out. The round lasted
ON" minute and II seconds.
The result of the fight was one of the
biggest surprises in the tistic arena for
some time. Ryan was looked upon as
a certain winner.

Is the FIRST announcement.
Professor Itobb was furnished with Il
real diamond and an imi mitation, or paste

The y rays with II surprising reSule. The
genuine diamond offered no resistance
10 the y rays. and cast no more shadow
on the Photographic plate than wood or

The imitation diamond. on the con-

intense even than the setting. This di:s-

of real from worthless diamdnds. Pro

this test His photographs shown are
remarkably clear and distinct, and no
mistake could POSSIBLY bc made be

Minister OF State Takes Precautions foI
the Protection Of American Repre-
sentativcs-NO Serious Trouble
Feared from the Outbreak.

Washington, March 2.-The Spanish
government took steps very promptly
to disavow and make amends to the
United States for the outbreak of mob
violence yesterday at Barcelona. This
action, and especially the fact that it
was taken Immediately after news or
the affair reached the Spanish govern
ment. without waiting for any sugSes-
tion from thesUnited States. will tend
greatly to relieve the situation and pre-
vent Il serious outcome of the mob s
attack on our consulate.
The intelligence of dsaVowA by Spain
reached Secretary of State Olney last
night in a cable dispatch from Minister
Taylor at Madrid and was made public
today. The dispatch says:
