INTERFERENCE BY POLICE.

New York. oct. 5.-The Greenpoint
Athletic club held its weekly boxing
show I'm Brooklyn last night, but the
program. which consisted of four 10
round bouts. was cut short by the in
reference OF the police and referee in
three OF the scheduled events. Jimmy
Clare OF Long Island City and Eddie
Sweeney were the star boxers Of the
night. and they mixed things up so
lively in the opening round that a
knockout was looked for in the second.
Sweeney had decidedly the bad end Of the
second round, as Clare uppercut him on
the body with his left. and sent his right
across twice so heavily that Sweeney
whirled around and looked as IL he were
going out. Just then the police inter-
rupted the boxers and Referee Ward
sent the fighters to their corners. The
spectators were yelling for more, but
the police were obdurate and the referee
decided the bout draw.
Jack Kemp Of Greenpoint received
such a hammering from Joe Cain, the
captain of the Brooklyn Athletic club.
in the opening bout that the referee
stopped them in the third round and
declared Cain the winner.
